When the first deep alpha was released, I did not have time to take the necessary precautions to play with an insecure alpha, and as the beta-path went on, I never managed to catch up on what was going on. Peter Ouwehand's list was great, but hey, it would have taken quite some time to wade through it. As a result, I decided to stay with v3.0.1.33 until the release of v3.5. Now, the new version is released and I have upgraded.
When first launching the new version, I began fiddling around with the new possibilities. I find the new shortcut editor (or customiser, I guess I should say) a bit confusing, but that might be the prise we have to pay for having the great opportunity of customising. There is however one feature I do think Ritlabs should re-implement and that is the conflict handler. When re-assigning the shortcuts the way I want them, I many times stumbled across a shortcut already assigned to something else, but as far as I could see, there is no way to see where it is assigned. Neither were there any signs of conflicting shortcuts until I tried to use it (hitting my newly assign F5 and getting a New Message Window, which was not what I expected). Furthermore, when first launching v3.5 (pro), I could not get rid of the Configuration Toolbar. If I un-ticked it, it went away, but as soon as I restarted TB!, it was back. The solution was to un-tick the Standard Toolbar, re-tick it and *then* un-tick the Configuration Toolbar. That way, the Configuration Toolbar stayed away even after a restart of TB!. Next, I noticed auto-size was turned on, although I have never used it. I found the new menu item <Options | Preferences | Limit expansion of the first column to> and that took care of it. It didn't how ever affect the auto-sizing of the folder tree. Is there any way to make TB! not auto-size the folder tree? If not, consider this a bug report. I find it quite annoying. Next, when browsing a VF, new message was received and added. They were however not added at the bottom, as they should, but at the top (sorting on creation date, ascending order). A quick stroke at my newly assigned refresh shortcut, F5, took care of it (after un-assigning F5 from creating a new message :-) This I could not reproduce. It was a one time performance and I believe we could forget about it if no one else - or I - can confirm. Next, a minor one. I noticed I am not able to invoke the Maintanence Centre when focusing a VF. Not a big deal, but I really don't see the logic of greying this item out just because I am browsing a VF. And so a question. Why does TB! say "Plain" in the rightmost lower corner of the main window, right next to the status bar? I don't understand what it mean and I cannot find any way to change it. Finally, as Peter says at the bottom of his list, some good news: 9Val, it seems you finally solved my pet bug completely. As you might remember, we worked quite intense trying to pinpoint why VFs didn't refresh properly when compressing the watched folders (see https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=3620). You solved it, but at the cost of the refreshing taking quite some time. Now, it doesn't. The refresh just like they should and the do it lightening fast. Great job! And oh, yes, I almost forgot. When canceling out of the View Mode Setup window, I received an AV "at address 00AE237B in module 'thebat.exe'. Read of address 69724B6C." I could repeat at will, by opening the View Mode Setup window and close it again. When finally exiting the Preference window as well, I got AVs "at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000.". As soon as I OKed, there was a new one. I had to quit TB! with the task manager. This, I have not been able to reproduce either. Hopefully it won't happen again. As others have already said, great job! A big thanks to all of you, the developers as well as the testers who dared when I did not. -- Regards, Marcus Ohlstr�m Using The Bat! v3.5 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 PGP Public Key at http://www.canit.se/~marcus/pgp.asc ________________________________________________________ Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
