v9.0 [Oct 24, 2016]
Added the ability for the Filter to act more like a search engine, with multiple keywords, quoted phrases, and negative keywords. To the right of the Filter editbox is a button that opens the Filter settings. Choose the "Advanced" mode.
It is now possible to drag and drop text from one cell to another.
Comment lines (beginning with '#') are now preserved when saving the file.
Added the ability to swap the contents of two cells. Hold down the Alt key and left click on the first cell. Then repeat for the second cell.
When a global setting is changed, it will now be automatically applied to all other running instances. Previously, each instance held an independent copy of the global settings, and the global settings file was completely overwritten when an instance closed. If a global setting was changed while multiple instances were opened, the change would not affect the other instances, and might not be permanent depending on the order that the instances were closed.
It is now possible to right click and drag a row, then choose "Copy" from a popup menu. Previously, dragging a row always resulted in a "Move".
The "No Column Names" and "Backslash Escape" options are now remembered for the 100 most recently opened files. Previously it was necessary to use the Open Nonstandard File tool and enable these options manually.
Preferences: added the "No Column Names", "Delimit All Cells", and "Backslash Escape" options. These only apply when opening a file for the first time, since these properties are remembered for the 100 most recently opened files.
Print: the font face can now be changed.
Most of the tools on the Cell menu can now be placed on the toolbar.
Graph: added the ability to override the labels that are displayed along the X and Y axes.
Graph: added the "Appearance" field to the graph configuration window.
Graph: added a "Day of Week" division.
Trim Whitespace: it is now possible to control if whitespace is trimmed from the beginning and end of the cell. Previously these were always performed. Also, it is now possible to trim whitespace from the beginning of each line in each cell.
Numerous improvements to the Spell Checker. Download the latest version of the Spell Checking Module from Gammadyne.
Added the "Backslash Escape" option to the File Properties window. Previously, it was only possible to choose this setting when opening an existing file, and it could not later be changed.
Added the "Destructive paste: no column names" option to the Preferences window.
Backslash Escape: when this option is checked, carriage returns are saved to the file as "\r" and linefeeds as "\n".
Drag and drop: there is now an image behind the mouse cursor.
Save Document: the "some characters could not be converted" warning window now offers to switch to UTF-8 and re-save.
Added the /ncn command line switch, which controls the "No Column Names" property.
Added the /be command line switch, which controls the "Backslash Escape" property.
A file's configuration is now only saved if the file itself is saved. Previously, it was saved when the document was closed.
Added a "Help" button to the File Properties window. Added a help file chapter on Drag and Drop.
File Properties: Newline: added a help button that takes you to the "Newline" article on Wikipedia.
Improved the appearance of the table icons.
Delete Column: this window now supports the Enter and Escape hotkeys.
The "Ignore: Export To HTML" column option has been renamed "Don't print or export" since it actually does both.
Customize Toolbar: added a new column that contains an overview of the tool.
Added 32 tools to the System Tools tool.
Fixed: Filter: when applying the filter, and no changes to row visibility occur, the current cell was losing focus.
Fixed: the Filter drop-down list was not remembering entries that were created while an ASCII file was opened.
Fixed: after dragging and dropping a row, the file was not recognized as "changed".
Fixed: incorrect "extra column" warning if the last field in the CSV file is quoted and does not end with a newline.
v6.0 [Aug 21, 2015]
Added the ability to generate a graph from the CSV data.
Improved the appearance of icons. Changed from 8-bit GIF's to 32-bit PNG's. Many icons have been redesigned.
Added the "Export To HTML" tool.
Numerous improvements to pasting/dropping files in the multiline editor. The user is now asked if the file contents, filenames, or filepaths should be used, and how this will affect the editbox's existing contents (insert, append, or replace). Unicode characters in the filepath and/or file contents are now supported.
The alignment of each column is now remembered for the 40 previously opened files.
The "Convert File To UTF-8" tool has been replaced with the "File Properties" tool. This adds the ability to convert a file from UTF-8 to ASCII, and to change the separator character.
Added the "Filter: Whole Word" option to the Options menu.
The "Create Column" window now has a field to set the column alignment.
If the first character of a file is a number sign (#), the user will be asked if comments should be ignored.
If the user tries to move a table row and the table is sorted, they will now be asked if sorting should be disabled. Previously, nothing would happen.
Trim Whitespace: added an option to reduce runs of multiple spaces to a single space.
Paste: added support for pasting non-ASCII characters into an ASCII file so long as the characters are present in the chosen Character Set.
Paste Rows: Column Mapper window: added two buttons that allow you to reset the columns or use the original order.
Paste Rows: if the clipboard contains only one line of text, the "Clipboard Contains Column Names" option will be disabled.
Duplicate Row: this will now operate on all selected rows. Previously only a single row could be duplicated.
Added a "Revise" button to the Find tool's "No Occurrences Found" window.
Added the "Delete Source Column" option to the Combine Columns window. Previously the Source Column was always deleted.
Table Statistics: hidden rows are now excluded from the column totals.
The "Choose Scope" window (used by Spell Check Table and Trim Whitespace) will now remember the last choice.
Unicode Character Map: double clicking on a filter will now take you to the first character in that filter.
Added a Help button to the Shift Cells window.
Fixed: the Alt Arrow and Alt Page hotkeys were only working in multiline editing mode.
