The primary purpose of this release is the program preferences dialog window, but there are several other fixes and improvements too.
Barring any unforeseen problems, I’m intending this to be one of the last alpha releases. The focus of the beta releases will be solely program stability, with no new features to add unless they’re to fix any flaws in the program’s operation. Regarding stability, I suspect this alpha 11 to already be more stable than any release in the 0.4 series. However, version 0.9 is also more complex than all previous releases combined, so the potential for bugs is naturally higher.
The preferences dialog window:
The automation options are identical to the 0.4 series:
However, the thumbnail configuration options are now significantly expanded:
The error handling is also identical to 0.4:
The other changes:
-
Added progress bar to splash screen.
-
Fixed bug where URIs with spaces were not opening in the system file
browser. -
Minimized width required by Job Code and Backup, and Rename configuration
panels. -
Fixed detection of Unity desktop environment when desktop environment
variable is set to ‘Unity:Unity7’ -
Disabled the use of the scrollwheel to insert preference values in the file
and subfolder name editors.
