Risingware Exp+ 1.11.8001 Release Notes

 

 

Last revised: Feb. 2, 2010.

We list major new features, improvements, bug fixes and other supplement in this version as below;

[New Features]

  • Unique Multi-Process and Multi-Thread Design:
    Starting from this version, we implement a multi-process design for Exp+ Browser.
    Multi-process means that all browser tabs no longer use the only one process, instead, they use multiple processes. One thread per web page, as the threads increase, a new process will be automatically created. The significant benefit is that it makes Exp+ Browser much faster, and more stable.

    As for some of you who may concern about a memory consumption issue, we also keep a uni-process design as option, which can be set up in Exp+ Setup Center.

  • Enabling Java Applets:
    With Java 1.6.0_10, Java applets can be enabled in browser tabs now!  Make sure your computer has installed this Java version. You may also change this setting in Exp+ Setup Center.
  • Supporting 7zip Archives:
    You cannot only compress and extract Zip archives, but compress and extract 7z archives in folder tabs. You may select one of the formats by right-clicking on folders or files.

[Improvements]

  • Auto-Clicking Drop-Down Menu
    When the drop-down menu is too long, a bottom arrow and a top arrow will appear. Traditionally, to go down one item, you have to click the bottom arrow once. How  inconvenient it is!

    Starting from this version, whenever a cursor stays on a bottom arrow or a top arrow, the auto-clicking will be performed until the bottom or the top of the list is reached. This function is applied to folder tab, group list in mainmenu Group, and Favorites and so on.

  • Clearer syntax for using web search engine aliases
    To avoid confusing, the syntax of using alias to activate web search engines has been changed from Space to Colon.
    Before: Use Space to separate alias and key words.
    Now: Use Colon (:) to separate alias and key words.
  • Fancier Location Bar for Folder Tabs
    For a better user experience, the appearance of location bar in folder tabs has become more attractive. This feature is also applied to Batch File Renamer and Directory Synchronizer.

[Bug Fixes]

  • Stopping Instant Settings of Web Page e-Mailer from changing Template
    When emailing a web page, any instant settings you make will not change the settings of template in Exp+ Setup Center.
  • Displaying An Error Message of Web Page e-Mailer
    If any errors occurred when e-mailing a web page, an error message will be popped up in this version.
  • Displaying An Error Message of Scheduled Backups
    When the backup destination path is not accessible, auto-backups cannot be executed, an error message will be popped up in this version.

  • Backing up All Unlisted Format Files for 'Select All' selection
    In Backup Tool, even though some file formats may not be listed in 'Backup File Type' field, whenever a  'Select All' item is selected, all format files will be backed up.
  • Adding Wikipedia into Web Search Engine
    Wikipedia is now addable.

[Other Supplement]

  • A suspension from previewing MS Office files
    Due to possible problems may be caused by recent Windows security updates, Using File Content Previewer to preview Excel, Word etc files is suspended in this version.
