Click here to return to the NeXTBar home page.
There follows a concise list of changes between each version of NeXTBar, in reverse date order so that the latest changes are listed first.
N.B. The latest version may not necessarily be the released version, as current development is also shown here.
v1.30 (17th Feb 2009)
a) Bug fix: Pass on key handler when 'screenshot' window is active (ie. f12 works)
b) Bug fix: When screenshotting windows that don't return a task name, assign task name
to instead of giving 'ofla...' error in task name icon.
v1.29 (9th Feb 2009)
a) Bug fix: Correctly allow menu options to work without giving illegal window handle
when using in 'iconbar only' mode. Thanks to P.N.Young for reporting this one.
v1.28 (26th Dec 2008)
a) Bug fix: Correctly open directory when screen/window grab is dragged directly to
NeXTBar button. This feature was inadvertently omitted from v1.27
v1.27 (23rd Dec 2008)
a) Bug fix: Correctly 'ungrey' directory icons if a new directory is dragged to a button
as opposed to a button being edited.
b) Bug fix: Allow screen/window grabs from NeXTBar to be saved into directories assigned
to NeXTBar itself.
v1.26 (17th Dec 2008)
a) Added support for 'AddTinyDir' for adding icons to the iconbar. Added to button menu
as well as auto-start-up options.
v1.25 (9th Dec 2008)
a) Bug fix: Allow 'grabbed' screens to be dragged directly into other RISC OS
applications, such as OvationPro frames.
b) Changed alternative 'Print/Save' keys to Alt+Print.
c) Added option to choices to disable the screen grabbing/printing completely.
d) Bug fix: Prevent <Wimp$Scrap> files being assigned to buttons (as this is an
arbitrary, non permanent file.
v1.24 (27th Oct 2008)
a) Bug fix: Amended icon drag routine so that the bounding box is the mouse pointer and
not the icon edge.
b) Extended maximum length of web search text (from 50 to 200 characters)
v1.23 (20th Sep 2008)
a) Enhancement: Removed some of the restrictions in the demo version. You can now use
'Hot' keys as well as gain access to the 'Apps' sub-menu and web search from button
menu.
b) Bug fix: 'Print' key and function keys (to change bar being displayed) now work
independently of the hot key facility being on or off (which should only control
whether or not hot keys can be assigned to NeXTBar buttons).
Thus the print/grab window function will work in the demo version. Thanks to Steve
Fryatt for spotting this one.
c) New feature: Added dated directories to the save data facility.
v1.22 (15th Sep 2008)
a) Enhancement: Data drag to buttons extended to allow objects to be dragged from
standard filer windows to buttons assigned as directories you can save into.
(Thanks to Jim Nottingham for this suggestion)

c) Bug fix: Grey out 'then open' option if 'Auto-save in directory' is disabled.
d) Added check for existing file when saving/copying objects to button when auto-save is
enabled.
e) Bug fix: Ensure correct menu item is ticked on iconbar icon apps menu.
f) Updated StrongHelp manual again (split main choices into small, individual pages)
g) Added detection for YouTube pages, so if a non video page is dragged to NeXTBar, it
will pass the URL onto the underlying button handler.
v1.21 (7th Sep 2008)
a) Bug fix: Tidied calculation for printing window borders and titles slightly.
b) Swapped default action of printing window from 'Print' to 'Save'
c) Changed alternative 'Print/Save' keys to Alt+Alt
d) Added 'online' buttons to 'Info' window.
e) Added option to auto-save files directory into button directories and optionally open
the directory afterwards.
f) Revamped StrongHelp manual a bit.
g) Added code to automatically extract source movie files from YouTube pages, to make
easy extraction for feeding to Murnong
(see http://www.users.on.net/~belles/software/murnong/)
If Murnong has been 'seen' by the filer but is not already loaded, NeXTBar will
automatically load it for you.
