QText 3.60

It has been a long hiatus but time has come to have new QText out.

Most notable change will be for double-click. While it behaves a bit different than notepad does, it is more in sync with what you would expect a bit more modern program to do. Of course shortcuts follow the same behavior and whole thing should be a bit more natural for heavy keyboard user.

And that is pretty much single big change for it. Everything is same as it was with quite some bug-fixing compared to previous version. Program is a bit more friendly to new users (some balloon hints and similar nice touches); there are some high-DPI changes (no longer toolbar hunting on very high resolution screens, e.g. > 200 dpi); and lot of similar changes that you probably won’t even notice.

As always, upgrade is available directly through application, or you can download it from these pages.

Enjoy.

Drive Letter Change

I am quite obsessive about which drive gets which letter. I have a certain expectations and it is not uncommon to see me fiddle with drive letters again and again. I mean, if I want that USB drive to be mapped as R:, I will get it mapped there.

Unfortunately this always includes trip to Disk Management and slowly selecting appropriate path. Well, no need for this any more.

Nitpickers of the world, rejoice. My latest program, logically named Change Letter can do this just by right-clicking on a drive. If you have VHD Attach installed, you will not even get UAC prompt.

You can download both setup and zipped files on BitBucket.

QText 3.50

It is time for new QText again.

Nothing much happened, just some maintenance. I added support for few more keyboard shortcuts (zoom and plain-text clipboard) and some minor bug-fixing was done.

As always, you can download new version directly from www.medo64.com or use built-in upgrade menu.

PS: If you are curious what exactly was changed and/or you want to use new features as I create them, you can check source code repository at BitBucket. There I will put latest pre-release binaries.

QText 3.40

Biggest improvement in QText 3.40 comes in area of printing. Code that traces its origins probably from very first (text-only) version of QText was finally adjusted to properly support Rich Text Format.

With ever increasing number of folders there was need for some sort of navigation helper. Pressing Ctrl+G will enable you to quickly search documents by name. That should make searching for particular document among folders a breeze.

Those using QText for journal will be happy to know that Alt+Shift+D and Alt+Shift+T are finally supported. Upon press you will get current date and time inserted into a document.

In addition to general bug-fixing that was done I think that everyone should have a reason or two for upgrade.

VHD Attach 3.70

Good new year celebration should start with new version of VHD Attach.

Major change for this version is support for new VHDX virtual disk format. This will work only on Windows 8 so don’t get your hopes up immediately if you are on Windows 7 system. Support for it on Windows 7 depends on Microsoft updating its virtual disk SCSI driver.

As usual you can upgrade from within application or from the website.

Enjoy.

PS: Yes, I know that install experience on fresh Windows 8 system is not really nice because service will not start automatically. You will get opportunity to start it first time you run application. Don’t be bitchy about it.

PPS: If you want to know what is happening behind the curtains you can check source at BitBucket.

QText 3.30

One feature that was survived unchanged through versions and versions of QText was search. You could search only within current tab and that’s all you could do. Even when folders got added search was still limited to single file.

Well, not anymore. Finally you can search across all folders and files. Or you can limit search to current folder only. Choice is yours. Only real limit is searching through encrypted files which is not supported for security reasons. For them search will work only when you have them currently open (and thus decrypted).

Happy searching.

Summae 1.10

After quite a while here is upgrade for Summae.

It finally brings proper command-line support for handling directories and basic file pattern matching.

In addition you don’t need to install program in order to calculate something. Just unpack it from zip and you are ready.

Of course there were slight visual changes but nothing major going on. It is simple utility and it will stay like that.

Download.

VHD Attach 3.61

Nothing much here. Just a single bug fix that makes VHD Attach work properly on German Windows. :)

Update from within application or from web site.

VHD Attach 3.60

VHD Attach update time is here again.

Main driving force behind this release was making some further adjustments on Windows 8 OS. This version is tested on RTM and it works for both .vhd and .iso files.

Some bug-fixing was also involved so even Windows 7 users have a good reason for upgrade.

As usual you can upgrade from within application. Enjoy.

VHD Attach 3.50

Here is new version of VHD Attach.

Due to popular demand, you can now change drive letter from within application. While this is not strictly VHD related task, I got it as suggestion from enough people. See, if you ask for something enough times, it is done eventually.

This version should also work on Windows 8 but do notice that there was no extensive testing. Probably new version will be out when Windows 8 is officially published.
