TreePad Lite 4.3 - Changelog

What's new in TreePad Lite 4.0:

August 12th, 2009

Portability:
· Improved portability: settings are no longer stored inside the Windows registry but in an .ini file.
· Moreover, settings can now be either stored in an ini file inside the TreePad program directory or in an ini file inside the Windows 'Local settings' directory.
· If you want to use the program as a portable application (run it directly from a USB stick for instance), then you might want to store the settings inside the program directory.

Settings screen:
· Added: a button 'Default' to change all settings to their default values.
· Added: an option to print page numbers (category 'Printer')
· Added: a category 'TreePad/Settings' where one can specify where the settings are stored: (1) inside the program directory or (2) inside the Windows local settings directory (default).

File associations:
· Changed: TreePad Lite no longer automatically associates itself with .hjt files on program startup. Instead you can do this manually using the "Tools" menu.
· Added: "Menu: Tools/TreePad .hjt files/Associate TreePad Lite with .hjt files". After applying this function double clicking on a .hjt file in Windows will automatically start TreePad with the .hjt file open.
· Added: "Menu: Tools/TreePad .hjt files/Remove file association". This cancels the previous action.

Compatibility:
· Improved: both the installer and the program itself are now compatible with all available DEP settings in Windows Vista and Windows XP (DEP = Data Execution Prevention and can be found in the Windows control panel).

Install/uninstall:
· Added: automatic uninstaller icon to the TreePad Lite program group (only visible after using install.exe or install_treepadlite.exe)
· Added: an entry inside the Windows control panel (category 'add remove programs') which can activate the automatic TreePad uninstaller. Please note that this control panel entry is only visible after previously having used install.exe or install_treepadlite.exe to install TreePad Lite.

Download:
· Added: you can now also download the program as a self-running/self-installing executable (no need for a zip program). See here.
· Please note that we will continue to offer the regular .zip download format as well, not in the least because it gives you the option to manually install the program (the zip archive contains an installer, but to manually install it just extract the files to a directory of your choice and start TreePad by double clicking on treepad.exe).

Manual:
· Added: a new page where you can download the latest edition of the TreePad Lite manual. See here.
· Added: an online edition of the TreePad Lite manual. It opens directly inside your Webbrowser
· Added: the online manual comes with its own search engine. See the 'search' link at the bottom of each article.
· Added: "Menu: Help/Online manual". This opens the online manual in your default Web browser.
· Added: "Menu: Help/Download newest manual". This opens the download page for the TreePad Lite manual.
· Changed: from now on we will update the TreePad Lite manual separately from the TreePad Lite program. Using "Menu: Help/Download newest manual" from inside TreePad Lite you can always check whether there is a new version of the manual available.

Skins:
· Changed: skin 'Purple' has been renamed to 'Purple 1'.
· Added: a new skin called 'Purple 2'.
· Improved: the looks of the skins 'Purple 1', 'Blue Sky', 'Blue metallic' and 'Green'.

Printing:
· Improved: when using larger font sizes (you can specify this in the settings screen) the printer line height is now adjusted accordingly.
· Added: page number printing (optional, see the settings screen).

Menus:
· Added: icons to the main menu, tree context menu and article context menu.
· Changed: the entire menu structure of the program has been updated. There are now separate menus for 'Tree', 'Insert', 'Format' and 'Tools'.
· Changed: the 'Edit' menu now exclusively applies to the article - this is the same as in the higher TreePad editions.
· Changed: for managing the tree (adding nodes, deleting nodes, etc.) you need to use the new 'Tree' menu.
· Changed: automatic paste has been moved to the 'Tools' menu.
· Added: "Menu: Help/TreePad homepage"
· Added: "Menu: Help/Freebyte.com homepage"

Toolbars:
· Added: "Menu: View/Auto arrange toolbars". In case there are gaps between the toolbars this function will pack them all back together again. This function is also available in the toolbar popup menu.

About screen:
· Improved: 'About' screen ("Menu: Help/About") with a nice new 'TreePad Lite' logo.

What's new in TreePad Lite 2.9:

August 12th, 2009

· TreePad Freeware now comes in two versions: TreePad Lite and TreePad Asia. Both programs are freeware and almost identical. One difference is that 'TreePad Asia' is optimized for non-western fonts. Using 'menu/language mode' in TreePad Asia, one can select different character modes (IME), like Hiragana, Katakana. TreePad Lite does not have this feature. On the other hand, TreePad Asia misses the 'menu/edit/search replace' function.

Navigate:
· Added: new navigate menu and new navigate toolbar
· Added: tree navigation functions (Go up, Go down, Go left, Go right)
· Added: tree explode (expand) function which expands the selected subtree. Using the explode button while holding shift, expands only the first level
· Added: tree implode (collapse) function, which collapses the selected subtree. Using the implode button while holding shift, collapses only the first level
· Added: follow hyperlink menu item and toolbar button

Search:
· Added: article and tree search buttons
· Added: shortcut keys for tree search (shift+F11) and article search (shift+F12)
· Note: the ctrl-F keyboard shortcut is still valid for activating article and tree search.

Tree edit:
· Updated: new buttons in the edit toolbar

What's new in TreePad Lite 2.8.1:

August 12th, 2009

ARTICLE SEARCH / REPLACE:
· Added: an article search/replace window. There is an option where you can specify to replace the first found occurence, or all occurences of the search string. You can also enable an option so that the program asks you wether or not it is OK to replace the occurence of the search string with the new string. Menu: "menu/search/Article Replace". Shortcut: ctrl-r


HYPERLINKS:
Improved: hyperlinks do not need to be enclosed in double quotes anymore, nor do they need to be totally selected anymore when you try to activate them. One exception is the case where a hyperlink contains one or more space characters. When a hyperlink contains space characters you must either:
· (1) enclose the hyperlink between double quotes
· (2) or select the whole hyperlink before activating it

In more detail:
· Most hyperlinks do not need to be enclosed inside double quotes. You can activate a hyperlink by applying ctrl-left-mouse-click on the hyperlink. Example: http://www.treepad.com alternatively, one can use ctrl-h, the text cursor has to be inside the hyperlink for this. When a hyperlink contains one or more space characters, like e.g.
· file://c:program filesmyprogramstart.exe
· TreePad has no reliable way of knowing where the hyperlink starts or ends. If you ctrl-click on the first part of the example hyperlink, it will try to activate the hyperlink 'c:program', if you click on the second part, it will try to open 'filesmyprogramstart.exe'. Neither attempts are very likely to succeed.

There are two solutions to this problem:
· (1) enclose hyperlinks which contain spaces within double quotes. You can activate these hyperlinks directly using ctrl-left-click or ctrl-h. Example: "file://c:program filesmyprogramstart.exe"
· (2) if you don't want to enclose hyperlinks within double quotes, e.g. because you imported a large number of hyperlinks from a text file, you will need to select the complete text of a hyperlink each time before you activate the hyperlink.

What's new in TreePad Lite 2.8:

August 12th, 2009

HYPERLINKS:
· Added: hyperlinks to newsgroups are now supported (links starting with 'news://')


EXPORT:
· Bugfix: tree nodes containing characters which are not allowed in filenames will now be exported without any problems. Illegal filename characters are converted to underscores.


ABOUT SCREEN:
· Added: The about screen now contains active hyperlinks to treepad.com and freebyte.com


RUNNING TREEPAD:
· Bugfix: occasionally TreePad Freeware had problems running on some computers with Windows 98 SE installed. This problem has been corrected in TreePad Freeware.

What's new in TreePad Lite 2.7.3:

August 12th, 2009

HYPERLINKS:
· New action to activate hyperlinks: ctrl-mouse_left_click

SEARCH:

Improved:

Changed:
· In this version, the two search windows have been made modal. A modal Windows does not allow any editing or clicking in other application windows, like the main window containing the article. This change has been made, because some strange problems have been traced to the fact that the search windows were not modal in versions 2.7, 2.7.1 and 2.7.2.

August 12th, 2009

· Added: a readonly database option.
· This option enables you to make files which can not easily be changed by other users.

What's new in TreePad Lite 2.6:

August 12th, 2009

TREE:
· The tree area now automatically scrolls during drag and
· drop operations (if necessary). This new, and frequently
· requested feature is very useful for moving nodes to
· areas which are too far up or down to be displayed in
· the current window.

Added, four tree shortcut keys:
· shift-up (moves the selected node up)
· shift-down (moves the selected node down)
· shift-left (moves the selected node left)
· shift-right (moves the selected node right)
· Try out these shortcut keys, you will be surprised how
· naturally they operate!

Related useful shortcut keys (but not new) in the tree area are:
· 'right keyboard cursor key' opens a subtree,
· 'left keyboard cursor key' closes a subtree
· Added, tree popup menu items
· Popup menu tree/move/up (moves the selected node up)
· Popup menu tree/move/down (moves the selected node down)

SEARCH:
· FULL SEARCH, which enables you to search the subtree or
· the total tree inside all articles and node titles.
· Popup menu tree/search/subtree

Added:
· 'popup menu article/search' which opens the search
· toolbox and sets the search mode to 'search current
· article'


FILE IMPORT:
· 'menu/file/import/into tree/text file(s)' can import one
· or several text files into corresponding nodes/articles.
· The nodes/articles are automatically created, and become
· children of the selected node. With this option you can
· build a subtree very fast.

Improved:
· 'menu/file/import/into article/text file' does not
· replace the total article content anymore, but inserts
· the imported file at the cursor position in the article
· area. In case a text block is selected, that selected
· block is replaced by the imported file.

EDIT:
· 'popup menu article/undo last edit' which undoes the
· last edit action (ctrl-z already was the shortcut key).

Added:
· 'popup menu article/format/To Uppercase' and 'popup menu
· article/format/To Lowercase', which converts the
· selected textblock to uppercase or lowercase.


GENERAL:
· The message 'Changes are not saved' in the statusbar at
· the bottom. This message occurs only if you have changed
· an article or the tree, and the changes are not saved.

Changed:
· The caption of the TreePad taskbar icon will now be
· " - TreePad" instead of "TreePad: ".

Bugfix:
· When the option 'save automatically on exit' is enabled,
· TreePad did always save the data, even when nothing had
· been changed. The current version only saves the data
· when something really has changed, which is how it
· should be, of course.

VIEW:
· menu/view/info bars

Added:
· menu/view/info bars/article-title tab
· which can hide or show the tab which is displaying the
· article title.

What's new in TreePad Lite 2.5.1:

August 12th, 2009

· tree popup menu/next siblings move right
· Makes all the siblings beneath the current node children of the current node.

· tree popup menu/all children move left
· Makes all the children of the current node siblings of the current node

· These menu commands can also be accessed via the main edit menu when the tree has focus.


Added:
· A help menu on using drag-and-drop, since this useful feature in TreePad has been unknown to many users.

What's new in TreePad Lite 2.5:

August 12th, 2009

Changed:
· some popup menu items have been arranged in a more logical manner

Added:
· In the tree part, shift-enter inserts a sibling node after the selected one, without showing the node text editor. Useful if you want to insert a batch of nodes before editing their titles.
· (reminder: pressing 'enter' in the tree area inserts a sibling node after the selected one, showing the node text editor after insertion as usual)

Bug fix:
· TreePad font settings will now also affect the combobox/text-box in which one can enter the search text. This means that one can search with Japanese and other non-western fonts after one sets the global TreePad font with menu/view/options/TreePad/font..

· When in the tree area, both ctrl-tab and tab will switch focus to the article area.

Added:
· Paste date, time and date+time to the tree popup menu

August 12th, 2009

Changed:
· Tray icon/menu/restore will now always restore TreePad to a non minimized and non maximized state

Changed:
· After file/new one can now edit the root node title. However, the title is overwritten with the filename once the file is saved. The old situation did cause considerable confusion with novice TreePad users - not being able to edit the first node they added.

What's new in TreePad Lite 2.3.1:

August 12th, 2009

Bugfix:
· The new tray-icon option had some bugs in version 2.3 : clicking on the tray-icon did not always bring TreePad to the foreground. Starting TreePad mimimized also could cause some problems.

· When you click on this icon, TreePad will be activated.
· When you right-click on the icon, a popup menu will appear with options to minimize, maximize, restore (to its normal size) or close TreePad.

· You can of course un-check the menu item "view/TreePad/Show icon in System &Tray", in which case TreePad will appear as usual in the Windows taskbar after restart of the program.

What's new in TreePad Lite 2.0:

August 12th, 2009

Added:
· A tree popup menu item ('insert sibling node after') has been added which inserts a sibling node AFTER the currently selected node. The shortcut key for this is the key. However, note that if you are editing the node text, the enter key will not insert a sibling node. It will then simply close the node editor.

Changed:
· The tree popup menu 'insert sibling node' has been renamed to 'insert sibling node before'.

Added:
· A toolbar with shortcut icons for file/new, file/open, file/save, search, node insert and delete commands, subtree sort command and some view commands.

Added:
· The menu item 'View' has been added. With its containing submenus, one can show or hide the tree or article area. Easy shortcut keys for these functions are also provided: F10 for 'show both', F11 for show 'tree only', F12 for 'show article only'. This way you can e.g. do a full screen article edit, and with one keyboard stroke, you can go to the tree area if you want to select another article.

Changed:
· The menu item options has been moved to the menu item view.

Added:
· file/export/article/as HTML file This option can save the current article as a HTML file

Added:
· menu item: file/export/Subtree/as HTML This option saves the selected subtree as a nested definition list HTML file. Every node level is indented in the same way as in the TreePad left pane.
· Some remarks for those using the HTML export functions
· You can get erroneous results if you have certain HTML tags in your article texts. TreePad will export any text, meaning also e.g.

What's new in TreePad Lite 1.9:

August 12th, 2009

Improved:
· It could happen that certain Windows programs would copy an EOF character onto the clipboard. If you then would paste the clipboard content into TreePad, the TreePad file would then be truncated at the point of the newly pasted EOF character. Version 1.9 now filters the clipboard for any harmful ASCII control characters, so unwanted effects will be avoided.

Improved:
· The selected tree node now always is visible as selected in the tree area, even when the tree does not have the focus. Provided, of course that you have not scrolled that node out of view.

What's new in TreePad Lite 1.8:

August 12th, 2009

· Altered article commands
· I have removed the popup menu copy/all, copy/selected, cut/all, cut/selected, delete/all, delete/selected commands.
· Instead of these commands, I have enhanced and intuitively automated the functionality of the basic copy, cut and delete commands as explained below.

popup-menu tree/copy:
· If nothing is selected, copies the entire article to clipboard; else: copies the selected part of the article to the clipboard.

popup-menu tree/cut:
· If nothing is selected, cuts the entire article to clipboard; else: cuts the selected part of the article to the clipboard.

popup-menu tree/delete:
· If nothing is selected, asks the user for confirmation, if positive then deletes the entire article
· If something is selected in the article: deletes the selected part.
