New in Modern CSV 0.8.1.2 Beta (Feb 10, 2020)

  • Mac: Fixed the tutorial to be consistent with Mac keyboard shortcuts.
  • When using the Join Cells Horizontally/Vertically, only the cells that end up with data will be selected after the command is complete.
  • Updated the links in the Contact Us and Help menus to fit the new website (older version will still work via 301 redirects).

  • When transposing an entire table, made sure the cells that are selected are transposed as well.
  • Fixed a bug causing it to not transpose the filter range when transposing a table with filters (e.g. a filtered column should turn into a filtered row).

New in Modern CSV 0.8.1.1 Beta (Feb 8, 2020)

  • Improved the row/column drag feature by showing a line where the row or column will be dropped rather than highlighting a row or column next to the destination, which was confusing.
  • Improved the Move Row(s) Just Above Row ... command and Move Column(s) to the Left of Column ... command by also placing a line at the destination rather than using cell highlighting.
  • Merged the Remove Extraneous Rows command and the Remove Extraneous Columns command into the Remove Extraneous Rows and Columns and added functionality. The original command only made the scroll bars shrink back to approximately the size of the file (e.g. if the user used to Go To command to go to row 1,048,576 on a 5x10 file, this command ensured that the scroll bar wouldn't go down that far forever). The new command still does that, but it also removes empty rows and columns at the edge of the file. That way, the file isn't left with a bunch of unnecessary commas.
  • Fixed bugs causing it to incorrectly remove rows or columns in some circumstances.
  • Made it impossible for the user to move rows above the table. Such guardrails were already in place for columns, but not rows.

  • Improved UI appearance in Mac.
  • Added a close button to the find/replace widget.
