NewsLeecher 5.0 Beta 11
*: ---------------------------------------------------------------
-- Larger Change - Redesigned User Interface -- ---------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
The SuperSearch interface has been totally redesigned, to make
it much more streamlined with the rest of the application.
The new interface also makes it much easier and faster to
navigate bookmarked and non-bookmarked SuperSearch search
queries.
NOTE: The interface uses a new format for the SuperSearch
bookmarks. NewsLeecher will automatically import your existing
bookmarks to the new format, while keeping them intact to you
should be able to revert to an older version of NewsLeecher
without losing your bookmarks. But to be completely safe, it
is recommended that you backup your NewsLeeher data before
installing.
+: ---------------------------------------------------------------
-- Larger Feature Addition - SuperSearch 'Counter' -- ---------
---------------------------------------------------------------
While the new SuperSearch 'Count' feature is simply represented
by a button on the SuperSearch toolbar, it's a pretty powerful
feature. It can be used to check up on all your SuperSearch
bookmarks simultaneously, to find out whether there are newly
indexed articles since your previous searches were performed.
The number of newly indexed articles are shown next to the
bookmarks names in the bookmark view.
+: ** User Interface Compacting Feature #1 **
Added a button to the lower right corner of the NewsLeecher
statusbar, that makes it easy to toggle between a 'normal
sized' and a 'compact sized' main toolbar.
+: ** User Interface Compacting Feature #2 **
Added a button (yes, one more) to the lower right corner
of the NewsLeecher statusbar, that makes it easy to toggle
between a 'normal sized', 'compact sized' and 'very compact
sized' listview interface.
+: Added a button to the SuperSearch toolbar, that makes it
possible to turn on / off the newly implemented SuperSearch
Bookmarks View. When turned off, the view can temporarily be
viewed, by positioning the mouse cursor near the left-side edge
of the SuperSearch articles view.
+: When the 'Connection / Graph' panel is hidden, by clicking the
hide button down in the lower right corner of the NewsLeceher
statusbar, it can now be temporarily viewed, by positioning the
mouse cursor on the NewsLeecher statusbar.
*: Major NewsLeecher launchtime improvements, depending partially
on the number of SuperSearch bookmarks stored on the system.
*: Added a couple of buttons to the SuperSearch toolbar, which
makes it possible to specify the width of the 'Result Filter'
and the 'Append String' input boxes. The buttons can also be
used to show / hide the input boxes.
*: It's now much easier to see, whether the 'Connect' and 'Pause'
buttons are activated or not.
*: Lots of visual improvements. (Christmas theme has been expanded,
etc.)
!: Many bug fixed. (Turning off log scrolling now works. Better
checking for too long filenames when downloading, etc.)
