Notes (week 11) – New office and CE 0.90 RC 4

Another busy week behind. Most of this week has gone in building the new office. I installed laminate floor which took some time. Also I changed the desk setup to enable more work space. One day went in installing all monitors and computers. Every cable is now tied with zip ties and there’s not a single cable on the floor. It was a huge job to tie everything but well worth it. All and all, I’m very happy with the new office. Lot’s of work space and the floor is awesome. Man, I’ll need to replace those ugly CRT’s with some shiny new LCD panels:

Some progress on CE despite the office project. I added toolbar button for QuickView tab. Those who are updating CE, use the customizer to add that button. It’s under Navigation category. I also made it so that if you have a file selected and you press QuickView button (or Text Editor button), the selected file is opened. Same works in File Search (middle clicks work now too). As Tommy suggested, I’m calling this build 0.90 RC 4. Next week I’ll tweak the icons a bit and then we can release 0.90 final. It’s time to replace that old “stable” release.

    Hi Marko,
    I’m glad to see that you liked my suggestion and called this snapshot RC4.

    I think it’s time to have a new stable release and move on…
    the current stable CE version is 0.80 which is “Neanderthal” software compared to the current one.

    Just one question: you still have 35 ToDo’s that were planned for CE 0.90… are you going to fix them all by next friday or are you going to move some of them to the 0.91 schedule? Or a are you going to add an intermediate step to the roadmap (i.e. CE 0.90.1)?

    Those items will be moved to another versions. I’ll have to go through the whole list and sort every item. I’m hoping to have a proper roadmap by next Friday.

    Excellent product!

    One suggestion: the ability for a dual pane mode, as in xplorer2
