Here’s the notes, day early because I don’t have time for it tomorrow. It’s been busy week and I didn’t have time to make as much progress with CE as I was planning. My goal for this week was to implement DualView. However, I got stuck at the very beginning due to lack of inspiration. Basically, I’m not quite sure how the DualView should work. Should there be different tabs for each view or would it be better to just divide a single tab into two views? Or maybe those views could have their own tabs inside a single “main” tab. Not sure

Anyway, I did do some changes here and there. I added file extension column and toolbar buttons for sessions and bookmarks. Also there’s now advanced options to turn off the session history.

Change Log

• Disabled exceptions on settings file creation.
• Fixed Access Violation on Options panel.
• Added Sessions toolbar button.
• Added Bookmarks toolbar button.
• Added option to disable session history.
• Added option for session history count.
• Breadcrumb now reactivates if needed.
• Added Extension column.
• Added Slovak translation.
• Made CE more Vista compatible.

It’s been pretty productive week and I managed to make good progress. Most of the week went into rewriting the sessions support which was quite a big job. It’s now finished and I like it. I’ve never been happy with the old one so I made some changes. I added a session manager to make things more sane. Also there is now a history feature that let’s you go back to previous sessions.

I’ve also added BrowseZipFolders option into FileView’s and FolderPanel’s advanced settings. By enabling it you will be able to open ZIP files like folders inside CE. However, there are still some bugs left that I need to fix. For example, you have to use the right click menu to open files from inside ZIP, double click doesn’t work.

Anyway, I’m not yet sure what’s next week’s agenda. Maybe I’ll write DualView or QuickFilter. At least I’ll try to finish rearranging the todo list.

Change Log

• Added new session support.
• Added temporary fix for TabBar visibility issue.
• Added BrowseZipFolders option for FileView and FolderPanel.
• StatusBar now remembers it’s visibility.
• Fixed Reuse Tabs option.
• Fixed breadcrumb related crash.

Not that productive this week. I’ve still been occupied by other stuff but I did manage to do little work with CE. Still no sessions though, sorry. Also the todo list needs to be rearranged. However, this snapshot is more useful than the previous one. The keyboard bug is fixed which was also affecting the advanced settings editor. I added AutoFit and few other options to tabs. Those can be found in the advanced settings.

Anyway, I’m hoping to have sessions up and running next week. The reason why it’s taking so long is the fact that I’m rewriting the sessions support from scratch. Also I’ll try to sort the todo list. It’s quite a nasty job so I’m not really looking forward to it.

Change Log

• Added AutoFit tabs, MaxTabSize and CloseButton settings.
• Removed old bug fix.
• Fixed icon size bug (again).
• Fixed memory leaks.
• Fixed keyboard bug.

This week I’ve been working with the new settings engine. I’ve removed the old engine and updated everything to use the new one. I’ll still have to update bookmarks and sessions to use the new engine. At the moment I’m in the middle of updating sessions. It looks like I’ll rewrite the whole session support as it’s easier like that. Also I wasn’t very happy with the old session support so now is good time to make it right. Today’s snapshot has sessions disabled but they should be up and running again next week. Hopefully I’ll manage to update bookmarks next week too.

I also added advanced settings editor in the Options Dialog. However, at the moment it doesn’t accept keyboard input for some reason. So you can only use mouse or copy/paste to change the values. I will write my own editor so this one is temporary. More options are coming also.
