New beta release v11.3.0.9.6 - Various improvements and bug fixes
Jean Lalonde > 2021-07-29 15:44
The changes in the previous beta release v11.3.0.9.5 about Special folders codes seems to work well (no news from beta testers is good news!). Let me remind new beta users that these changes are still included in this new release and remind these notes:
Note 1: The conversion of some Special Folders codes is NOT backward compatible. If you ever need to revert to an older version of QAP, the location for the updated Special Folders will not be recognized in the older version. They will show as "* Unknown Special Folder *" (with a random number to make the menu entry unique) and you will have to delete and re-create these Special Folders entries.
Note 2: If you used Shared menus containing Special Folders, make sure all users of the Shared menu run QAP v11.3.0.9.3 more recent.
Before releasing the next master version (v11.4), I will add one new feature (find and replace in favorites locations). I'm just starting working on this. In the mean time, in this beta release, I fix some recent bugs (and some old ones discovered only recently).
Version BETA: 11.3.0.9.6 (2021-07-29)
"Customize" window bug fixes and improvements
- fix bug not updating correctly the menu navigation buttons up/back/forward when the "Customize" window is open from "Customize" menu item not located in the Main menu
- in the favorites list, fix bug not enabling the "Save" button if moving a favorite by continuously pressing the up/down button until the top/bottom of the list is reached
- remove numeric shortcuts from parts of the favorites list context menu
- rename the favorites list context menu label "Sort this menu" to "Sort this menu (or group)"
Other bugs and improvements
- fix bug when the option under "File managers" labeled "when opening QAP menu outside Explorer: open folders in the current window" is enabled that was breaking some Alternative menu features
- in the "Select icon" dialog box, replace the next/previous text button with arrow buttons and remove duplicate "Cancel" buttons
- in the "Manage icons" dialog box, replace the next/previous text button with arrow buttons
- fix error in a SQLite database dialog box message
- when editing a favorite from the dialog box shown when a favorite's location is not found, stop showing an error message about not being able to open the favorite
Various issues
- "icons larger than expected" issue in the "Select icons" and "Manage icons" dialog boxes: try to solve an intermittent bug displaying icons larger than the expected size by resizing the icons when changing page
- "menu keyboard focus issue": about the fix in v11.3.0.1, add a new option in the settings file (quickaccesspopup.ini) that determines if the mouse move is done or not; for now, this option has to be inserted in the ini file under the [General] section, as "MovePointerAfterHotkeyKeyboard=1" to do the mouse move (else, the situation is as in v11.3 and before; also, a pause of the value of MovePointerAfterHotkeyKeyboard in milliseconds is inserted after the mouse move (this is to try to mitigate the " "201 hotkeys have bin received in the last 0ms" error message that seems to be a side effect of the mouse move)
Thank you for testing this and report errors below.
