(multi-user)

January 12, 2010
Free upgrade for registered users

Group files
* New feature: "Group files".
* When you have a number of databases open inside TPX Enterprise, you can save them as a group through "Menu: Database/Group/Save as".
* The next time you start TPX Enterprise you can open all these databases at once through "Menu: Database/Group/Load".
* You can create as many group files as you want.
* You can associate group files with the TPX Enterprise program through "Menu: Database/Group/Group files/Associate TPX group files with TreePad Enterprise".
* After associating the group file type with TreePad, a group file (containing a group of databases) can be opened by double clicking on it (from inside Windows or the Windows Explorer file manager).
* You can also remove the file association through "Menu: Database/Group/Group files/Remove file association".
* Added: a command-line parameter for .tpxgroup files. Just pass the group file as the first command-line parameter. This will start TPX Enterprise, and make it load the specified group of databases.

Website export
* Added: one can now export attachments to Website. The attachments will be appended to the article Web-page as a list of links. Clicking on an attachment link will open the file or prompt the standard Web-browser download dialog.
* Added: a category 'attachments' to the Website export screen where one can specify
(1) whether or not to include attachments,
(2) the title of the group of attachment links
(3) whether or not clicking on an attachment link will open a new window
* Improved: the main Website export categories - as shown in the left-hand pane inside this dialog - are now alphabetically ordered.
* Bugfix: in some cases cloned images did not export to website. Fixed.

Node properties
* Added: to the category 'tools', a button 'Set subtree font name', which updates all the nodes in the current subtree so that they have the same font-name as the currently active node.
* Added: to the category 'tools', a button 'Set subtree font size', which updates the all the nodes in the current subtree so that they have the same font-size as the currently active node.

Hyperlinks

Children pane
* Added: column 'child nodes' listing the number of children of each node listed.
* Added: clicking on the column header for 'child nodes' will sort the list accordingly.

History
* Improved: history-back and -forwards did not always behave in a logical sense when following node hyperlinks. This has been improved in the current release.

Settings
* Added: a new category 'Recent files' to the settings screen where one can manage the list of recently accessed databases. One can add items to the list, remove items and order the list through drag-drop. The changes made here will be visible in Menu: Database/Reopen.

New features in version 7.11.2
(multi-user)

May 07, 2009
Free upgrade for registered users

View menu
* Moved: the Accessory pane menu items have been moved to 'Menu: View/Accessory pane/...'
* Added: a new menu item for opening the Children accessory pane: 'Menu: View/Accessory pane/Children'.

Tree
* Added: the charactermap now also works when node editor is active. This means that you can insert special characters in the node title while you are editing it.
* Added: the menu items 'Format/Convert/To Uppercase', 'Format/Convert/To Lowercase', 'Format/Convert/To Sentence case', 'Format/Convert/To Title case' and 'Format/Convert/Invert case' can now be applied to the title of the current tree node as well (when the tree has focus but not while you are editing a node title).
* Changed: the default tree-font size has been changed to 8.

Format
* Improved: the case-conversion options in 'Menu: Format/Convert' now also work on characters inside the upper half of the extended ascii character table (the Windows ISO-1252 character table). This includes letters such as 'a' with grave, 'a' with acute, 'c' with cedilla, the letter 'ae', etc.

Statusbar
* Changed: by default the path of the selected node is shown in the statusbar (instead of the name of the active database).

'Children' Accessory pane
* Added: a new Accessory pane 'Children' which shows a list of the titles of all the child nodes of the selected tree node, as well as the date on which these items were changed.
* Added: to open the 'Children' Accessory pane, just click on the new button 'Children' below the article.
* Added: the new 'Children' pane allows for very powerful dual-pane drag-drop operations, much like the mass node mover dialog already does. To move a node to a new location, just drag-drop an item from the 'Children' list into the tree pane.
* Added: you can sort the Children list according to 'Date changed' and 'Node title' by clicking on the corresponding column header.
* Added: alternate navigation. If you double click on an item in the 'Children', list TreePad will navigate to that node.

Options screen
* Added: an option to adjust the statusbar so that it either displays the path of the selected tree node or the folder of the active database. You can find this new option in the category 'Infobars'.

Compatibility
* Improved: the programs which are part of this version are compatible with all currently available 64 bit Windows editions.
* Improved: the programs inside this version now also comply with the /3Gb boot.ini switch in 32 bit Windows XP and Vista.
* Improved: the programs inside this version are now compatible with all available DEP settings in Windows Vista and Windows XP (DEP = Data Execution Prevention and can be found in the Windows control panel).

Node properties dialog
* Added: category 'Font and color' to apply a specific font, font-color, font-style, etc. to the title of the current node.
* Added: category 'Background color' to apply a background color to the title of the current node.
* Added: category 'Tools' with a button to remove text-formatting from the titles of all nodes in the selected subtree.

Settings screen
* Added: a button 'default' to change all settings to their default values.
* Added: a new category 'print' to the settings screen with options to change the print mode as well as an option to include page numbers or not.

Startup/shutdown
* Fixed: access violation when TreePad Client closes on Windows shutdown.

Multi-monitor support
* Added: a button to the 'View' toolbar which enables one to send TreePad X Client to a different monitor. Up to eight monitors are supported. This feature only works when you have two or more monitors connected to your computer, and Windows needs to have the option 'Extend my Windows destkop onto this monitor' enabled for the additional monitors in the control panel.

Database
Added: database properties dialog (Menu: Database/Properties)

Hyperlinks
* Added: one can now change the path for relative file hyperlinks. The database properties dialog can be used to set the base path for relative file hyperlinks. E.g. if you set the base path to 'd:\mydata\' then the relative link 'docs\invoicetemplate1.pdf' points to: 'd:\mydata\docs\invoicetemplate1.pdf'. Consequently, if you move the target files to e.g. 'e:\docs\' you only need to update the base path (using the database properties dialog) to make the relative file hyperlnks function again.
* Added: if you specify an empty base path in the database properties dialog (default), the situation is as before: relative links are relative to the location of the current database directory.

Website export
* Improved Website search engine:
* When you enter multiple words in the search box separated by spaces, TreePad Web-search now will return the pages that contain all these words.
* To search for a phrase, now just put quotes around it. For example: "millions of people" will return all pages containing the exact phrase millions of people.
* More complex search phrases are now also possible. Example: when you enter "millions of people" employee company hire, Web-search will return all pages containing the exact phrase "millions of people", as well as the words employee, company and hire.
* Improved: search results are now sorted according to the number of occurrences (of the search words and phrases) in the articles.
* Added: a 'Search help and tips' document which is part of the generated Website.
* Added: a link inside the search form to the 'Search Help and Tips' document.

Skins
* Changed: skin 'Purple' has been renamed to 'Purple 1'.
* Added: a new skin called 'Purple 2'.
* Improved: the looks of the skins 'Purple 1', 'Blue Sky', 'Blue metallic' and 'Green'.

Shortcut keys
* Added: ctrl-1 .... ctrl-9 in the tree navigates to items in the bookmarks pane.
* Added: ctrl-0 navigates to the root node.

TPX Administrator program
* Added: a button 'Database size' to the tab 'Table management' which reports how much disk-space the selected database uses. It also reports the size taken by the 'safety copy' files.
Added: a button 'Make backup' to the tab 'Table management'. This function creates a zip-compressed copy of the database.
Added: Menu: Help/TPX Server version which shows the current version of the TPX Server.

 

New features in version 7.10.1
(multi-user)

March 18, 2008
Free upgrade for registered users

Website export
* Added: a built-in Website search engine. You can enable/disable the TreePad Web-search engine in the tab 'Search engine' inside the Website export dialog. Please note that the Website search engine is a PHP script which needs to be uploaded to the Internet in order to function.
* Added: a link inside the navigate panel titled 'search'. When you have enabled the 'Search engine' option, you also need to enable the 'navigate panel' option for generated Websites, because currently the 'search link' inside the navigate panel is the only method of accessing the search engine.
* Added: new options for the title frame. On can set the title to: (1) the caption of the most fundamental node (in the exported Website), (2) the title in the metatags section, (3) a custom text See: the category 'title' in the Website export screen.
* Bugfix: the meta-title is now included again in the exported Website.

Tree
* Improved: new tree control. The old third-party tree control has been replaced by a new solution created by us from scratch.
* Improved: tree operations, such as drag-drop, have been speeded up (because now, in most cases, the tree does not need to be reloaded anymore).
* You can now modify the type of tree drag-drop operation during a drag-drop operation, instead of only before, by pressing ctrl or shift. The drag-cursor will change accordingly. Pressing ctrl inserts the selected node before the dropsite node, pressing shift inserts the selected node after the dropsite node, in all other cases the selected node is inserted as last child of the dropsite node.
* Added: support for node templates. When a node is designated to be a 'template base' for the subtree, all newly created descendant nodes will contain the template article text and template images by default. Currently the template resides inside the article of the node which is the template base.
* Added: the node properties screen now contains a checkbox 'Is template base' where one can make any node a 'template base' (of its own subtree).
* Added: the 'New node' dialog. Inserting a new node inside a template-controlled subtree will result in showing the 'new node' dialog. This dialog presents you with the option of inserting a node using the current template, or a blank node (ignoring the template).
* Added: a template node can be distinguished (from regular nodes) by a little mark which is visible on the left-hand side of the node-icon.
* Added: internal tree clipboard. Copy/paste subtree now uses the internal tree clipboard by default, which is much faster (than the external tree clipboard). As before, you can use the internal tree clipboard to copy/paste subtrees inside the same database, as well as between different databases which are open inside the same program, but not to/from other TreePad programs which might be running (in order to do this, you need to utilize the external tree clipboard as before).
* Improved: Menu: Insert "date", "time", "date+time" and "specified date" now also functions when the node editor is active. More specifically, the date/time is inserted at the cursor position.
* Added: the keyboard shortcut "F4" scrolls the selected node into view.

Database
* Added: database properties dialog (Menu: Database/Properties)
* Added: enhanced text filtering. In case the clipboard contains invalid character codes these will no longer be pasted into the article but filtered out. Valid for Menu: Edit/Paste and Menu: Edit/Paste special/Paste as text.

Hyperlinks
* Improved: node hyperlinks are preserved during subtree transfer to another database (= drag-drop a subtree onto a database button).
* Improved: when pasting a subtree multiple times into the same database (using the internal tree clipboard), node-hyperlinks (which point to nodes inside this subtree) are preserved and will continue to point to nodes inside the subtree. The same holds true when transferring a subtree more than once to another database.
* Added: one can now insert relative hyperlinks (optional) to files through Menu: Insert/Hyperlink,
* Added: by drag-dropping files onto the article one can now insert relative hyperlinks (if the option is enabled in the options screen).
* Added by Menu: Insert/Link(s) to files one can now insert relative hyperlinks (if the option is enabled in the options screen).
* added: hyperlinks to anchors inside other articles. Menu: Insert/Hyperlink.
* added: when you first select a piece of text, then perform a hyperlink insert, the piece of text is converted to (the title of) the newly inserted hyperlink.
* Added: relative file and directory hyperlinks (checkbox 'Store relative path' in the edit/insert hyperlink dialog)
* Added: base path for relative file hyperlinks. The database properties dialog can be used to set the base path for relative file hyperlinks. E.g. if you set the base path to \\server2\shareD\ then the relative link 'docs\invoicetemplate1.pdf' points to: '\\server2\shareD\docs\invoicetemplate1.pdf'. Consequently, if you move the target files to e.g. \\server3\shareE\ you only need to update the base path (using the database properties dialog) to make the relative file hyperlnks function again.

Import/Export
* Added: export subtree attachments, recursive (including all nodes of a subtree) as well as non-recursive (including only one level of the subtree). See: Menu: Database/Export/Subtree/To Files.
* Added: the subtree export directory is now remembered between sessions
* Added: the article export directory is now remembered between sessions
* Added: the article import directory is now remembered between sessions
* Improved: the direct transfer function of subtrees between databases (= drag-drop of a node into a database button) has been speeded up. The destination tree no longer needs to be reloaded.

Search
* Added: one can now generate a list of nodes which contain attachments. To locate nodes containing attachments (inside the entire tree or the selected subtree), first open the tree search dialog. You can leave the search-items empty if you wish, then enable the option 'Search nodes containing attachments' in the 'search range tab' before you start the search.

Shortcut keys:
* Added: ctrl-1 .... ctrl-9 in the tree navigates to items in the bookmarks pane.
* Added: ctrl-0 navigates to the root node.

Navigate:
* Added: Menu: Navigate/Scroll selected node into view

Settings
* Added: a new tab 'template options'. It contains the checkbox titled 'When adding a node show the insert dialog'. If this option is enabled, then inserting a node inside a template-controlled subtree will result in showing the 'New node' dialog (which is described above). When this option is not enabled, inserting a node inside a template-controlled subtree will always result in inserting a new node using the current template.
* Added: new category 'Tree clipboard'. You can now choose whether the internal or external tree clipboard will be used during subtree copy/paste operations. The internal clipboard (recommended) is the default. The external clipboard is only required now when a tree is pasted/copied to/from another TreePad program
* Added: Improved: the default tab size and page margin settings can now be entered using a comma or period as decimal separator, regardless of the language settings of the operating system.
* Added: the default caption of a new node can now also be 'a number according to the position in the list'. (category: Tree/Node options).
* Added: 'File hyperlinks created with drag-drop are relative' (category: Article/Hyperlinks).
* Added: 'hyperlinks created with Menu: Insert/Links to files are relative' (category: Article/Hyperlinks).
* Added: it is now possible to store the tree state of each database between sessions (which nodes are expanded/collapsed and selected). Options screen, category: tree
* Added: 'article line numbers' to the category 'infobars' inside the options screen.

Article
* Added: a new toolbar button for 'Save article'
* Changed: the button 'Store article' (which appears only when you move your mouse to the bottom right-hand side of an edited article), has been renamed to 'Save article'.
* Added: article line numbers, optional. Right-click on the toolbar area, then click 'article line numbers' to show/hide the article line numbers.

Compatibility
* Improved: import from tpd file and export to tpd file is now compatible with Windows Vista.
