NimbleText

LB126. Manual activation, aka offline activation -- for registering your copy of nimbletext on a machine that is not connected to the internet, or for times when crazy corporate networks stop the activation from succeeding.

RP14. Each option available directly from the toolbar. Can be pinned/unpinned from within the options form.

SH22. More common toolbar items. e.g. cut copy paste. save.

RP11. "save" button on toolbar -- which would be a split button offering saving of each part (data/pattern/result/session).

PI01. Commandline-helper: capitalisation of the top bar is inconsistent. Fixed.

PI02. Commandline-helper: "delim." looks messy and unprofessional, especially when you use the full word elsewhere. Done.

PI03. Commandline-helper: "Save" button should be labelled "Save As.."

PI04. Commandline-helper: 'Suggested commandline' is the wrong word. Replaced with "Your command-line". Other related word improvements.

YD01. In the Options window [Tools > Options] the tooltip for "Ignore empty rows" is incorrect, and is the same text as the one correctly set for "Output a new line after each row". (bug was also present in command-line helper)

YD02. The Help text says that there is not yet an option to turn off "Ignore empty rows". But there is. Help fixed to describe this option.

YD03/RP18. Need a way to enter a tab character. (Since [tab] navigates between controls). Fixed. Ctrl-Tab inserts a tab character. (And is in the edit menu as 'insert tab')

SH26. Commandline helper more sentencey in places, e.g."Send the result" "To this file:". And so on.

LB113. help document needs to describe '$h0' and '$-0' and '$numFields'

LB116. ability to generate <, % and > symbols using $lt;, $percent;, and $gt; respectively

LB117. ability to generate $ symbol using $dollar;

LB121. Open commandline helper, Specify an input file that doeesn't exist, Specify a raw pattern, Specify 'to pipeline', Hit 'Execute!', The file launches but crashes with a file not found exception. Fixed now: A specific command line message is given about the file not existing

LB122. Open commandline helper, Click exec. A message is shown at bottom left of screen. Click that message. The message label should get hidden. Done.

LB55/RP02. FILTER feature. In the tools menu, select 'show 'Where' clause' -- there is now a new textbox in between data and pattern. You can place predicates in there, i.e. where clauses. For example "$0 == '2' || $rowNum != 32" -- and the data rows will only get passed onward if the where clause is true. This feature is only unlocked it you purchase a license. etc.

LB124. Row delimiters are not remembered across sessions. Fixed.

LB109. Fixed a nasty bug where the same default session was being loaded every time you ran the app (instead of remembering your data and pattern from last time).

LB115. In the application there is a menu called Keywords which is a quick way to insert a commonly used keyword into your pattern. It also serves as a helpful reminder of what keywords are available. A couple of the more recent and useful keywords were missing from this menu. These keywords were added:

• $h0
• $h1
• $-0
• $-1
• $EACH+
• $numRows
• $numFields

LB118. Command line helper now has multi-line textboxes for 'RAW' pattern and data. If you have never tried out the command line helper, you should try it now. This is how all command line interfaces should be assisted.

LB103. New feature. A special variable for Header ... e.g. $H0, $h0 etc.

LB74. New feature. allow $-0 and $-1 etc to act as substitutions counting from the RIGHT! The final column can be referenced as $-0, the second last column as $-1 etc.

LB90. New feature. $NumFields can be used to return the number of fields.

LB112. Fixed. On error during 'execute' -- show an error dialog with details (not the default IE javascript error dialog). (The dialog for this is currently quite simple.)

LB92. Fixed. $ONCE and $EACH (and $EACH+) no longer case-sensitive. You can use $Once, $eAch... whatever your casing preference.

DH01. Fixed. When the Snippets Editor window is shown too small, the text 'When you buy a license, your snippets are remembered across sessions' text is being squeezed out of view.

MW01. Fixed. 'Save' was acting like 'Save as'.

MM03. All dialogs are now opened centered on their parent.

MM04 & MM06. Fixed. Add Snippet and Edit Snippet prompted for save changes even when no changes were made.

MM05. Fixed: A '$0' was appended to the text when editing a snippet.

LB100. Ctrl-N causes caused new IE to be spawned, now launches a new instance of NimbleText.

LB98. Functions are in a separate menu (rather than with the keywords menu)

LB102. less chrome. less clutter.

SH19. In Commandline helper: There is an execute button that launches a cmd window that runs the thing RIGHT NOW.

RP10. Added command line options:

-q, --qualifier=VALUE
        text qualifier character, defaults to double quote
-l, --includepadding
        include padding around fields (don't trim fields)
-j, --jumpconsec
        treat consecutive field delimiters as one
-n, --nonewline
        don't output a new line after each row
-e, --includeemptyrows
        include empty rows (don't ignore them)

SH05. Added save session and open session.

RP05. Now use .csv as a default extension for files we're loading.

LB96. Fixed numerous errors in csv parsing. Unit test coverage of csv parsing is now complete.

LB93. Saving a file when no name was specified would result in overwriting the previous file saved. Fixed.

LB94. Open file dialog would show the full name and file path in a confusing manner.

LB95. Save file dialog would show the full name and file path in a confusing manner.

LB47. Option to *NOT* output \r\n between every line. Hence you can now put many lines of output on one line. e.g. you can use NimbleText for transposing data.

LB58. Option to *NOT* ignore empty rows.

NH04: Added a clear all button to the Edit menu. (It may later be available on the toolbar, but not yet)

LB77. Previously if you clicked 'edit snippets', then sort them, then press cancel, then press edit again... the order you set was kept when it should be lost. Fixed.

NH02/MM02. Previously in the Add Snippet dialog, pressing Cancel got you a "do you want to cancel" with Yes, No, Cancel, with No and Cancel being redundant even if you've made no changes. Fix: Removed cancel option. Do not prompt if data is unchanged.

LB84. In the CommandLine Helper dialog, pressing Cancel with changes: MessageBox had Yes, No, Cancel, with No and Cancel being redundant.

NH05: Previously -- the close button at the bottom of the help page didn't close the window. fixed.

HA01. Previously if you ran the standalone executable directly from http://NimbleText.com/Download/NimbleText.exe using Internet Explorer, it would crash (due to an assembly load failure.) Now it doesn't.

MC01. Ability to escape delimiters (by qualifying them) -- implemented by running a true parser.

LB19. When saving a session we now save the delimiters used.

LB72. add email address 'support' and 'bug' items in help menu

LB82. Fixed trimming bug in implementation of EACH and EACH+

LB73. Update help document to cover 'Trim each field', 'Treat consecutive delimiters as one'

LB70. In help menu, case of 'View Release Notes' is wrong -- should read 'View release notes'

LB69. Already have a licensed instance running -- run in 'New Window' -- and it claims to not be licensed.

LB78. Add links for 'report a bug' and 'make a suggestion' Icons using famfamfam silk icons.

LB79. Embed unit testing into the application.

LB80. Made application of 'trim each field' before 'treat consecutive delimiters as one' consistent, even when qualifiers are used.

LB81. Apply 'trim each field' option as part of 'ignore empty rows.' This means that sorting/etc will remove lines that are just whitespace (if there are row delimiters).

LB25. When removing duplicates it's good to know how many rows there are/were before and after. This is shown in the heading.

LB26. When sorting it's good to know how many rows there are

LB57. Added Option to trim each field (i.e. remove whitespace before and after each field)

LB46. Added Option to treat consecutive column delimiters as one.

LB67. Options form is no longer shown in task bar.

LA01. Fixed bug: From the 'Keywords' menu if you click either the 'Keywords' or 'Built-in Functions' section header it results in a script error.

LB28. In the 'Register' screen -- you can press escape to close the window.

LB08. Help dialog is 'always on top' (TopMost)

LB54. Help dialog is 'single instance'

LB56. An ancient bug in embedded expressions ("<%") meant you needed to put single quotes around "$row" but not "$0". Now, no single quotes are needed.

LB53. Help dialog is not maximized, half width of main form, to the right. Normal position for a floating help form.

LB13. Help document previously talked about a number of options that don't exist

LB11. Remove slogan from about box (looks wrong)

LB16. Ensure commandline still works

LB21. Edit snippets -- would shows Pink box even when license has been purchased.

LB22. Link was not working from Snippet List upgrade button

LB23. Link was not working from Add/Edit Snippet upgrade button

LB24. Add snippets -- shows Pink box even when license has been purchased.

SH25. Options on command line dlg - checkbox text for column delim covers part of text box

LB10. Add Link to read release notes from Help menu

SH07. Creating a snippet now defaults to containing the current pattern (or if text is selected, the current selection)

AO08. By default, application stores the last used Data/Pattern when closing, and reloads when opening

SH18. Copy button only copied when text selected. This should also work when nothing selected.

SH20. Command line helper: Save button did not work. Now works.

SH15. Command line didn't work, and showed no feedback. Fixed by revising interplay between console/win32 (using AllocateConsole)

SH21. NimbleText.exe -? doesn't do anything. Fixed, same as above.

SH16. Command line helper: Comma /r/n should be checked by default (or at least mention what the defaults are). Fixed

SH17. Font in Command line helper's comma box should be something that makes the comma actually visible. Fixed -- courier new.

LB07. Pressing F1 leads to scriping exception once code is obfuscated. Fixed.

LB06. Some words in activation form are invisible. Fixed.

AO06. First time the application starts, it should show a simple meaningful example. Currently it only shows something in the results dialog (nothing in Data or Pattern). Fixed. Example shows Name and email address formatting.

AO07.1 Not so nice command window that shows when I select check for updates. Fixed.

SH13. Right-clicking on the grey background gives the IE context menu, including View Source, and worse still, an encoding menu, which when used, clears the pane.
Fix in previous beta didn't pass testing. Re-fixed for this release.

SH12. Fonts look wrong in main form. Improved font colors/size etc. Removed blurriness of fonts.
2. Deferred: May create the form as a true windows form (or as Xaml). (see LB04)

SH06. The icon on the Win 7 task bar has poor anti-aliasing and jagged lines. Improved icon, less jagged, more smoothing -- feedback required.

LB09. Width of textareas changes when you start typing in them, and background gradient dissappears. Fixed. (Long time bug in WSCG, finally gone in IE)

AO05. Unnecessary scrollbar on right side of window
Removed. Browser content resizes correctly, and scroll bar should not be necessary.

LB01. labelStatus showing link -- cursor should be hand. Otherwise, normal.

SH01. Bug. Clear the data window, and add a pattern (I used one of the table snippets). Click calculate. Javascript error appears (attached)

SH02. Need a shortcut key for calculate. F5 seems natural, but Ctrl-Enter may do too.
Is now visible in tool tip of Calculate button.

SH03. New window is clunky - runs a command prompt briefly and then shows the window.
Two underlying issues:

SH03.1 Seems to 'Run as admin'
This is related to a misplaced Security.Demand and also the setting 'Check for updates'
Check for updates is now off by default.
For existing users -- you need to Ensure it is off in your copy. Tools | Options, unselect 'Check for updates'

SH03.2 'Console window'
Deprecate use of console. May ruin command line automation of course. Ray Chen.

SH04. Because I downloaded this and stuck it in my Program Files folder, Win 7 keeps asking me for admin password to do things, like starting it up, and adding a new window.
Resolve as Duplicate of SH03.1

AO07. Not so nice command window that shows when I start the program, select "New Window"
Resolved as Duplicate of SH03.2

AO04. Keyword $rowNumOne prints out $nowNumOne. Fixed.

SH13. Right-clicking on the grey background gives the IE context menu, including View Source, and worse still, an encoding menu, which when used, clears the pane.
Fix: Suppressed context menu.

SH06. The icon on the Win 7 task bar looks like I made it (attached)
Outline/Anti aliasing on the icon is pants.
Can also repro by viewing folder as icons at large size.
Improved, but still dodgy. Feedback welcome.

AO09. Icon on application looks a bit jagged
Duplicate of SH06

AO01. Help should not be a modal dialog box
Fixed

SH07. Creating a snippet should have a button to copy what is currently in the pattern pane.
Must do. Great call.
status: Planned -- No button -- just bring that in by default. And if text is selected, bring that in.

AO06. First time the application starts, it should show a simple meaningful example. Currently it only shows something in the results dialog (nothing in Data or Pattern)

AO07.1 Not so nice command window that shows when I select check for updates.

SH05. Saving three files is a bit long-winded. Can I have a single save?
Status Planned -- "Save session" in file menu, with others in the sub menu.
Design question: should session auto re-loaded? see also AO08 (next)

AO08. Application should by default store the last used Data/Pattern when closing and reload when opening
Related to SH05

SH11.What about an auto-calculate (preview) mode that hits the calculate button after not typing for 1 second?
Love it. Have meant to have this since forever, but then forgot about it.
Will implement and see what you think. (check box, 'auto preview' in toolbar, off by default)

SH12. I realise you've embedded the web page so the javascript can be reused DRYly, and you've got instant familiarity with the web, but
for some reason, it just doesn't look right.
Perhaps you could read the system fonts and insert them into the CSS to make it look a bit windowsy?
Current problem is exacerbated by blurry fonts, incorrect fonts.
Two possible solutions
1. May just have it use the app's font set and improve the colors/size etc. (Planned)
2. May create the form in windows. (see LB04, deferred)
