New in AZZ Cardfile 4.0 Beta c (Jun 8, 2007)

  • Version 4 is made as a new application � I almost didn�t use the code from previous versions. That�s why it has taken so much time to create. Although the program�s appearance is similar to the previous version (I�ve tried to make it as simple as possible), the functionality is highly improved.
  • File Format
  • Instead of RTF heap (versions 3.x), modern XML standard was applied. This will let simplifying import-export functions; however, safety reasons are more important. In case of file damage (after computer breakdown or whatever), data restoring is easier than before, because card content is represented as a plain text in an XML file. By the way, MS Office 2007 applications also use compressed XML files to store documents.
  • No more temporary files are created during file opening, using and closing. All these procedures take place in computer memory.
  • File Locations
  • A new folder �My DocumentsMy azzCardfile Files� is created after AZZ Cardfile installation.
  • Sample.azz file is located there. I recommend keep your all azz files in this folder.
  • Program and help files are located in �Program FilesazzCardfile�. It is not recommend to change anything in this folder (especially for Windows Vista system).
  • In a version 4 all settings are moved from the Windows Registry to �.ini� files. They are located in ��Application DataazzCardfile� folder. You can import or export AZZ Cardfile settings from �Tools | Options� dialog.
  • Grouping of Cards
  • This most-wanted feature has finally been implemented. Grouping is realized by vertical tabs located on the left side of the cards list. You can manage groups by selecting the menu item �Card | Groups� or just right-clicking on the group tabs. After creating a new Cardfile, two tabs are visible � �all� and �new�. Really these tabs don�t represent groups - they are controls for viewing all cards or creating a new group. Assign selected cards to the group by dragging them to the group�s tab or by selecting �Assign to group� in the list�s popup menu. The program doesn�t keep cards in groups, as files in folders. A group consists of a list of links, not real cards. Therefore, if you remove a card from the group, it will remain in the file and you can see it by selecting the �all� tab.
  • If you don�t use grouping, you can hide the group tabs by deselecting �Groups� in the �View� menu.
  • Cards Editor
  • Many new features have been implemented in the version 4: enhanced Font and Paragraph formatting, borders and backgrounds, lists, and more. Now you can create and format tables, using default or custom styles. You can use the ruler to change indents and tabs.
  • Header
  • You can change the style of the Card Header (selected card title above the card) by selecting formatted text in the card and then selecting �apply style to header� in the card�s popup menu. This allows applying all text and paragraph formatting possibilities not only to the application screen header, but also to the printed page headers. See some header samples in �Sample.azz� (card "Header styles").
  • Task Panel
  • This docked window helps you to perform some common tasks as searching, working with styles, etc.
  • Dialing
  • Modem selecting and configuring now is possible. You can create dialing hyperlinks (see below).
  • Hyperlinks
  • Together with standard hyperlinks (�http:�, �mailto:�, �file:�, etc.), new special hyperlinks have been implemented: �dial:� and �card:�. You can dial a phone number or go to a specific card by clicking on these hyperlinks.
  • Searching
  • I have received many requests to make a more advanced search possible. The Advanced Search procedure (task panel) has been implemented for that. You can add prefixes � �, �-�, quotes and brackets to the search criteria. The cards matching the entered search criteria will be placed in a special results group.
