What's new in Portable FullRecall 1.5.3
Jul 15, 2013
- Bugfixes related to sticking items.
- Fixed situation when after sticked items, if one of them got a bad grade, the same sticked items were presented without any other items in between.

New in Portable FullRecall 1.5.2 (Feb 27, 2013)
- Free version can merge databases.
- Windows version has ability to update itself to the newest version by downloading a new exe (the self-update option is offered after detection of a new version).
- Windows version by default (if there are no existing settings) enable "check for a new version".
- Bugfix: export to FR format didn't export non-queue items.
- Bugfix: export from Knowledge Manager could have exported all the items from database even though only some categories were selected.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.5.1 (Feb 25, 2013)
- Free version has access to "fuzzy search".
- Bugfix: Sound files were not copied to database directory after drag&drop.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.5.0 (Feb 22, 2013)
- Free version doesn't have any database size limit.
- Free version has possibility to add images.
- Databases in Ready-made-manager are sorted by default alphabetically.
- Bugfix: sound files were not copied during adding an sound when a setting "copy to database" is turned on.
- Bugfix: colors/links could mix up after an edit.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.16 (Jan 29, 2013)
- Bugfix: web-links in items that are displayed could be replaced with simple text that only looks like a web-link (i.e., it's non-clickable). Bug was introduced in version 1.4.20.15
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.15 (Jan 28, 2013)
- Bugfix: sticking among queue-items didn't persist when such items were introduced to the learning process (i.e., become normal items).
- Bugfix: fixed possible crash in new-dialogs introduced in 1.4.20.6 that helps sticking items (the crash could have happen when there were no items in the same category as the item that's just being added).
- Bugfix: fixed possible crash after moving item (that was sticked) to queue.
- Bugfix: fixed possible mixing of color-styles in items having at least one web-link.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.14 (Jan 21, 2013)
- An optimization in network-sync code that saves up to one round-trip-time from the auto-network-sync.
- Bugfix: a dialog could propose to delete supposedly not needed image even when the image was used (by currently viewed item or by another item).
- Bugfix: soft-sticked items didn't get presented for a review when they should have been.
- If some items are hard-sticked, lets say: A, B, C. A to B and B to C, then reviews always start from A (it's no longer possible that just B and C are reviewed without A). When items are soft-sticked, and B is taken for a scheduled review, then A is first selected if A is scheduled for a review in next 10 days.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.13 (Jan 3, 2013)
- Default search option, from now on, is to search by ignoring case-sensitivity.
- Bugfix: canceling last grade could result in crash.
- 3 new command-line arguments (available only to registered users): --network-sync, --network-import, --network-export
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.12 (Dec 22, 2012)
- Removing image by image-context-menu fires-up a dialog that proposes to delete the file from disk if no other item uses the image.
- Bugfix: FullRecall could crash if sticked item is opened (problem was introduced in 1.4.20.10).
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.11 (Dec 19, 2012)
- Bugfix: FullRecall could crash while attempting to connect to server if there is no network connection with the Internet (problem was introduced in 1.4.20.10).
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.10 (Dec 18, 2012)
- Performance optimizations in network routines (mostly focused on making network sync/import/export faster).
- Various optimizations that increase responsiveness and decrease CPU usage. They don't matter much to most users, but they are very welcome on battery-operated devices, esp. handheld (slow) devices running big databases.
- Bugfix: if last item was added to the queue (i.e., there was no grade), then pressing "Cancel last grade" resulted in crash.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.9 (Dec 12, 2012)
- Added support for drag&drop of text from other applications into question/answer field in FullRecall; in practice, it's now possible to drag&drop images from Google-Chrome into question/answer field in FullRecall (URL of such image is drag&dropped and FullRecall automatically downloads the image) provided the URL of image ends with a typical image file extension (e.g., jpg, png, gif, etc.).
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.8 (Nov 30, 2012)
- Faster network-import/export of big databases.
- Trivia: improved detection of changes in database to avoid saving it when its not needed (i.e., no changes were made); it improves performance of some operations.
- Bugfix: possible crash during "Move to queue" if exactly the same item is already in the queue (bug was introduced in 1.4.20.6).
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.7 (Nov 26, 2012)
- Bugfix: FullRecall could crash during saving of database (problem was introduced in 1.4.20.6).
- Bugfix: after trying to open seemingly locked (currently opened) learning database, FullRecall could crash.
- Bugfix: number of selected items in some dialogs of Knowledge Manager could be overstated.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.6 (Nov 22, 2012)
- Status bar can display sum of regular and queue items as one number.
- Added support for sticking queue-items: sticking queue items by itself doesn't have much sense by itself, but the sticks persist when the items go to the learning process. Note that there is no support for sticking queue-items yet on the server side or in other versions, so database exported to server or used in another FR version won't remember about sticks among queue-items.
- Experimental (subject to change or even removal): added support for and tags in queue.txt and in import/export Q/A FR-format. stands for hard-stick, stands for soft-stick. Elements to be sticked need to be encapsulated in these tags.
- Easier sticking of items (without need to open Knowledge Manager) thanks to new options in Edit -> Sticking menu that eases sticking from/to currently viewed item.
- "Switch question-answer" feature switches also sounds.
- Number of matches (visible in status-bar) in find-facility works now even when FullRecall detects that device works on batteries.
- Force mode in "Random" mode doesn't repeat items already reviewed in this mode and stops when all items (from the selected categories) are reviewed once.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.5 (Oct 18, 2012)
- Bugfix: in some circumstances network-sync could create extra items with empty questions and empty answers.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.4 (Oct 18, 2012)
- Bugfix: question image could take too much width leaving too little space for text.
- Bugfix: (Windows only) Taking image by Alt+Q or Alt+A could stuck with inability to save the image until next FullRecall start.
- Bugfix: sound-replay-button could not work in some rare situations when path to image is inside database directory.
- Bugfix: canceling-last-grade from Input-Mode moved the affected item to the first main category.
- Bugfix: keyboard shortcut for "sound repeat" set in Settings worked only up to next program start.
- "Current category name position" option can be set to "Hidden", so that category name can be hidden from the status-bar.
- Added support in link-dialog for other links than these that begin with "http://".
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.3 (Sep 6, 2012)
- Bugfix: setting image from external dir, from a filename already used, could result in failing to copy the file to the FullRecall directory.
- Bugfix: saving of database files could take place during reviews even when such saving was turned off in options.
- Improved/fixed behavior of returning reviews when "Mix reviews from different categories" option is turned off, so that "jumping" between parent categories is now not possible.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.2 (Aug 21, 2012)
- Duplicate Manager: added possiblity to delete many items at once and some smaller usability improvements.
- Bugfix: "Copy to queue with inverted q/a" in Knowledge Manager didn't work for individual elements.
- Bugfix: a problem with displaying answer image if answer text is empty and q/a autoscale option is turned off.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.1 (Aug 2, 2012)
- Bugfix: in some circumstances "multimedia sync" could send some files from server to client even though client already has the files.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.20.0 (Aug 1, 2012)
- Changes in "Open/Create another database" dialog: if user doesn't have full permissions to a selected directory, an icon indicates that and if the dir is selected, "Create New" button is grayed out; a dir is more reliably tested for presence of learning database to better indicate dirs with databases; during creation of new database, if selected directory already contains some files (or directories), a dialog proposes to create a distinct directory for the new learning database; currently opened directory (database) has a slightly different icon.
- ◦By default "multimedia sync" (i.e., syncing graphics and sound files during network-sync operation) option is now turned on.
- ◦Bugfix: in some circumstances "Network import" operation could result in loss of some queue-items.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.19.6 (Jun 14, 2012)
- Attempt to start another instance of FullRecall makes existing FullRecall window go to top and be visible.
- Bugfix: in some rare case empty answer could trigger data loss during database load.
New in Portable FullRecall 1.4.19.5 (May 28, 2012)
- Tab-cycle omits images, so that pressing tab key while focus is on question field, takes focus directly to answer-field even when there is an image in question-field.
- Typing an URL with an image in image-per-category dialog is now supported.
- Various optimizations in network-sync routines.
- Web-links are clickable in edit-mode only when Ctrl is pressed.
- Bugfix in sync of media files: not all multimedia files could have been synced.
