StrongED Home Page - Changes in 4.69 -

This page covers the changes that were made between version 4.69 and 4.68 of StrongED.

Behind the scenes

• Altered the memory transfer code to prevent aborts on the BeagleBoard.
• Moved more dialogue box related code to the Dialogues source file.
• Altered initialisation of dboxes so code can be shared with MenuWarning.
• Moved all checks performed on null events to new source file NoReason.
• Moved code to create menus to a separate source file called MakeMenus.
• Moved code that dynamically reformats text to separate source file.
• Sanitised building of menus, to prevent code duplication.
• Removed dead code from click_throwback.
• Slightly more efficient PathMatch_Type.
• Renamed StrongED_Export$Dir to StrongED$ExportDir
• Renamed StrongED_Scrap$Dir to StrongED$ScrapDir
• GSTrans() no longer calls SetTmp itself, so it's in-line with other functions

Bugs fixed

• Saving a ModeFile caused global expressions to be lost which could lead to aborts.
• Colour of left border wasn't correct when printing in graphics mode.
• Dragging a free block (alt-drag selection) to another application or filer window failed with an Abort on data transfer.
• Pop-up menu from Global and Mode choices now tick the selected item immediately so the correct items are ticked when Adjust is used.
• The bitmap and outline font menu didn't reflect changing the font, they kept showing the font that was set when Mode Choices was opened.
• Clicking on Remember in the Quit dialogue didn't autosave changed files if the option 'By default, remember files when quitting' was off.
• Dragging lines from an Obey file to a TaskWindow didn't work beyond the first line.
• Open the mode choices on a textfile, then close the textfile and open a new one. Clicking on the drop-down menus in the colours section will caused an abort. (Mode Choices now closes if the file from which it was opened is closed.)
• Search & ReplaceAll could fail if the search patterns used '\<' and included \\n.
• Clicking in Dump mode didn't place the caret in the correct column.
• Doubleclicking close to a slider led to rapid to and fro scrolling.
• cs-H would cause an abort when there were no texts at all.
• Clicking on a toolbar icon could abort when there was no view with input focus.

Improvements

• Added 'Cancel' button the 'Save to UserPrefs' query box (RO 3.5+)
• Searching in Dump mode will now search the raw binary when in the file is displayed in Byte/Word/ASCII. Searches in ASM display still disassemble the instructions first and look through the resulting string. {*}Note{*} that the LoF will still list the disassembled string even when searching in Byte/Word/ASCII mode.
• LoW now deals with 20 views at a time instead 1 by 1, much faster when there are many views.
• Added 'Close' option to LoW, closes LoW views saving them first if modified.
• SetTmp now also sets StrongED$Tmp_WriteDir, points to where choices are saved.
• SetTmp now also sets StrongED$Tmp_Filename, holds full filename of text. Shorter to use than \.\ .

ModeFile changes

• To be added.
