Moving towards RC 3 which is scheduled for next Friday. This week I’ve done small changes here and there, fixed few bugs and added couple things. Runningwaterpro from the forum, requested to make CE open file/folder property sheet when you Alt + LeftDoubleClick over it. Because Alt + LeftClick is already in use, I had to use Alt + RightClick instead.
Also there are now options to make CE open new tab by default when you click a bookmark or folder in FolderPanel. When it’s used together with "Reuse already open tabs", it makes quite an interesting way of navigating the system .

Change Log

• + Added "Always On Top" option in View menu.
• + Alt+RightClick opens Property dialog now.
• + Added #183, open "boorkmark & folder panel items" in new tab.
• * Changed #185, Loop tabs.
• * Made FileView to do actions on MouseUp instead MouseDown.
• * Updated German translation.
• * Updated Portuguese translation.
• - Fixed #186, Doesn’t translate strings.
• - Fixed #187, New Tab open issue.
• - Fixed #181, Can’t access machine via IP address.

Back from the vacation, a break which was very welcome. This week mainly went in trying to solve all reported bugs. Some of them got fixed, some of them need testing to see if they are fixed. Rest of the bugs need revisiting. I added one new option for tabs, it’s the "Reuse already open tabs" toggle. Basically it means when you open a folder in a tab (middle click), and that folder is already open in another tab, CE will switch to that old tab instead of opening a new one. Also CE will now make itself visible when folders are opened from command line.

Those who have had problems when connecting network or other drives, please send a bug report if CE still keeps crashing.

PS. Anyone know how to make Samba work with Windows (or vice versa) when using user as security mode? I can get the share mode to work but not user mode.

So I decided to take few weeks off. The original plan was to take the break after 0.90 final release, but since it’s delayed and there’s lot’s of other stuff going on right now, I thought this would be a good time for the break.

On other notes, I’ve been fine tuning the new office and all I can say is, I love it. Productivity level has increased tons. To add even more productivity I installed another graphics card and two monitors. At the moment I have to use some old CRT monitors but at some point those should be switched to LCD panels. There’s never enough workspace .

Slowly moving along. I managed to defend the flu from taking over my body. Although, it put on a good fight and tried to infect my bronchus. Anyway, I fix few bugs this week. Also I added an option to toggle if new tab (opened with middle click etc.) should be selected. Plus, there are new icons for tab related actions.

Happy Midsummer to everyone!

So, this whole week went in building a new office and fighting against flu virus. I got pretty sweet deal on used, quality office tables and chairs. Although there are still few furniture I need to get, I’m very happy with the new office. Now there’s lot’s off workspace and no clutter. While working with the office, I let my guard down and the flu virus took over my body. It hasn’t kicked in fully yet, so there’s still hope since I have some ammo left.

Anyway, I hope I’m back to the schedule next week. It’s been a crazy month but things should cool down in July. Have a nice weekend everyone.

I got my energy back, no more sleepiness . Unfortunately I’ve been busy all week with other things so I didn’t have much time to work with CE. However, there are few bugs fixed so I’ll upload SVN snapshot. At least the shutdown bug (#133) needs testing so GTHK or anyone else suffering from this bug, please let me know if it’s fixed now.

On other notes, I made pretty sweet deal on some used office furniture. Tomorrow I’ll start to build my new office. It remains to be seen how much time it takes to finish it. I’m not yet sure about the 0.90 RC 2 release, scheduled for next Friday. There are few bugs left that need much work/time.

Just a quick note. There was absolutely no progress this week. I’ve been dead tired so I pretty much slept the whole week. Same thing happens every spring, which is kind of weird because you would think that one feels more energetic due to increased amount of light.

Anyway, maybe next week will be better.

Man, feels like a steamroller has run over me. Yesterday I was fixing my sister’s car (Renault Clio -94). Since I had to work in all sort of weird positions, pretty much every muscle is now aching. I ended up fighting with the car for about 12 hours. All I can say is, I hate that car!

Anyway, I did manage to do some work earlier this week. Few bug fixes here and there. Some fine tuning on the tab bar painting and I changed the ViewStyle drop menu so that it’s icon changes depending on the current view style. Also grouping is now available, although it need’s some more work. For example, there should be a way to collapse/expand all groups. You can find a "Group By" button from the Customizer. Also it’s present in the background menu.
