7plus Changelog

What's new in 7plus 2.5.0

Feb 27, 2012

New Functions:
Added key mappings for scientific calculators. Characters such as brackets can now be written with Numpad keys when NumLock is off.
Added a function that allows running temporary AutoHotkey scripts (WIN + T). It requires that an AutoHotkey interpreter is installed and the .ahk extension is assigned to it.
Added a button on the FTP profiles page to test the connection.
Added a SendMail action for sending mails using SMTP.
WIN + G: Run a Google search for the selected text.
Added ${SelText} placeholder for the currently selected text.
Run action can now use the same level of elevation as 7plus. This can be useful to execute more special commands, for example verbs like *Edit.
Added "Enable/Disable Events" buttons on events settings page.
Added a setting to FTP profiles to account for different file system mounting points in HTTP/FTP servers (->omit directories from target folder in URL)
F2 while renaming: Toggle between filename, extension and full name
Added "Export shortcut" button to create shortcut files that trigger events in 7plus.
Bugfixes:
Fixed a bug that occured on x64 and caused problems in ListViews (Settings window, Image Converter)

Fixed file selection buttons in event configurations.

New in 7plus 2.4.0 (Feb 13, 2012)

New Functions:
Added search and replace dialog for file names and file contents
Added directory context menu item for flat view
Added URL shortener (WIN+S with URL in clipboard)
Added ImgUr.com image upload action. Anonymous image uploading is now possible. ImgUr limits it to 50 uploads/hour/API key, so please let me know if you notice that 7plus runs out of upload quota.
In addition to the previous entry, default windows PrintScreen functionality was overwritten to show a reworked version of the ImageConverter window. It is now possible to take screenshots of screen/window/user area and choose whether to save the screenshot, copy it to clipboard or upload it to FTP/ImgUr.
Added a settings page with generic windows settings (No bloat, only important ones!)
New Accessor plugin: Run. It executes the entered text directly, like Start menu->Run does. Useful when the command is not recognized by the Program Launcher plugin.
New Accessor plugin and new Trigger for defining custom Accessor commands that will trigger events.
New trigger: DirectoryChangeTrigger. It triggers if a specified directory or a file is modified and can be used for backup/synchronization purposes.
Added ALT+Right drag window resize
Added "Automatically close Windows Update reboot notification dialog"
Added screen corner triggers and made AeroFlip3D an event rather than a setting
Added a new hotkey event (CTRL+M) to merge all explorer windows into a single one with tabs
Added a "Show complex events" button and categorized events by complexity. By default 7plus will now show only about half of the available events. The others can still be enabled though.
Added the ability to create new files of any type by selecting a base file in the New File action that is copied to the target destination
Added KeyDelay setting for SendKeys action
Added ShowEvents option (available only through manual editing of Settings.ini in General category) to show execution order of events
Added DoubleClick option to MosueClick action
Added ClipPaste action to paste a specific entry from the clipboard manager list without showing the menu (Useful when active window must not be changed, i.e. explorer renaming)
Added Win+A hotkey to toggle always on top
Bugfixes:
Fixed missing \ when copying paths of network shares
Fixed not being able to navigate to network drives
Reimplemented middle mouse button features in event system to avoid some problems with this button. As a result of this, a few additional conditions were added.
Fixed Alt window drag not being able to drag a window to the outer left side of the screen
Fixed some access right modifications for registry keys required for explorer buttons. If they didn't show up before they should do so now. It may be necessary to disable/enable the FastFolder setting to make them show up.
Fixed colon character in Accessor.
Improved Program launcher Accessor plugin program caching. It now refreshes the program list whenever the OK button of the plugin settings window is pressed.
Fixed reload action for binary version
Fixed an issue in uninstaller that prevented deletion of 7plus directory
Changes:
Complete rewrite of the event system and about half of all the trigger/conditions/actions code. This will make 7plus much easier to maintain and a few (unnoticed) bugs could also be fixed along the way.
Huge code rewrite for some key portions related to explorer. As a result, status bar enhancements and explorer tabs are now visible on all explorer windows at once.
Complete rewrite of Slide Windows feature. It should be much better now, with more options, multi-monitor support, support for child windows and no windows getting lost anymore.
Redesign of the "Edit Event" and "Edit Subevent" window. There is now only one window in which everything can be edited. Events won't be disabled anymore while these windows are open.
Moved hotkey editing into the trigger configuration GUI so it can be edited in the same window. Also it will now show the previously selected hotkey.
Some code cleanup and improvements for Accessor. Sort order of results is also slightly improved.
Clipboard history is now stored in encrypted form. In addition, if there is no enabled event that makes use of the clipboard history it will not be stored at all for privacy reasons.
Made some more static features of 7plus dynamic by integrating them into the event system.
French documentation language available thanks to lecuyerf! User interface translation will probably follow in the next version, possibly also with German language. If you want to help with translation, feel free to join this project!

Enhanced the input action to support multiple data types (paths, text, numbers, selections,...) and added a condition to ControlEvent action that allows it to react to a selection. Placeholders from this action are now globally accessible in any event.
Added a "Copy Event" feature to the ControlEvent action. This will copy an event temporarily so it can be used in parallel. This is very useful for timers.
Added CTRL+WIN+Tab: Write tab character

Bugfixes:
Fixed Registry permissions which stopped FastFolders from showing up in explorer bar
Removed unnecessary dependancy on Visual C++ Runtime 2010

The Flat view function is now an event.

New in 7plus 2.2.0 (Jan 19, 2011)

New in 7plus 2.1.0 (Jan 19, 2011)

New Functions:
Accessor window which serves as a versatile way to access all kinds of things with the keyboard. It also provides useful context menu options and shows CPU load.
Accessor plugins:
Window Switcher: Activates windows, shows cpu load/always on top state, allows closing the window/process and setting always on top state
Program Launcher: Runs programs by typing their names, similar to programs like Launchy or Exekutor. Automatically indexes the running programs so indexing of program files or windows directory should be unnecessary.
File System Viewer: Browse the file system and execute or open files/folders. Supports autocompletion
Uninstaller: Uninstall programs or remove them from uninstall list
Google Search: Quickly search for something using Google
Calculator: Use Google calculator for quick calculations and unit conversions
Weather: Quickly access Google Weather
Notes: Take notes
FastFolders: Access to FastFolders from anywhere
Notepad++ Tab Switcher: Activates Notepad++ and shows a specific tab. Uses smart prediction similar to Notepad++ FileSwitcher plugin.
URL: Opens URLs and keeps a history of entered URLs.
Accessor may use user-defined keywords. This is very useful for web searches.
Events are now categorized. Old users may need to store their custom events prior to upgrade.
FTP Upload action now uses FTP profiles instead of defining the FTP access data separately in each action.
New ExplorerButton trigger allows to add buttons to the explorer bar that trigger any function, like uploading files, creating a backup of the current folder, open selected files with a specific program,...
In addition to the last entry, a button was added to ExplorerButton config menu and FastFolders tab to remove all explorer buttons created by 7plus. This can be used to remove any buttons which were erroneously generated.
New ViewMode action for controlling the visibility of hidden files and file extensions in explorer.
7plus can now be run in portable mode by appending -Portable as command line switch. Features that access the registry (mostly explorer bar buttons) won't work in this mode.
7plus can now run as normal user when admin privileges aren't available. In this mode certain features (mostly explorer bar buttons) are not accessible. This is configurable in Misc settings tab. When installed in Program Files directory and not running as admin, settings will have to be located in %AppData%\7plus.
Added an apply button to settings.
Added an uninstaller that removes all changes made by 7plus.
Added a new placeholder: ${MC} - Class of window under mouse.
Added a new placeholder: ${MNN} - ClassNN of control under mouse.
Added a new action: Wait
Bugfixes:
Bug about nonexistent hotkey in settings was fixed.
Events, conditions and actions are now removed again if "Add event/condition/action" was used and cancel was pressed.
Default settings file accidently contained a translated version of "New textfile" string in previous version.
Fixed an error in IsRenaming condition that prevented Backspace and Shift+C while renaming files.
Backspace made Explorer/File dialog go upwards in address/search bar.
Clipboard history is now stored separately in an XML file, this should get rid of occassionally appearing settings file bloat.
Double click on Desktop trigger should now work properly on 32 bit systems. On 64 bit systems it will only work sometimes until the switch to a 64 bit version of Autohotkey is made.
A bug causing WindowState action not to work properly was fixed.
Fixed selecting files on the desktop, NewFile and NewFolder actions should now work on the desktop in most cases.
UACAutorun.exe and ChangeLocation.exe are not needed anymore. Their functionality is now implemented in 7plus.exe.
And some others not worth noting
