    Build 1.1.0.1

    Download

    This build is just some minor changes and fixes I did over the weekend.

    Tasks | Enhancement | Greatly improved speed of Tasks retrieval in large lists.
    You should find that the display of Tasks, especially when used with the option to display tasks in sub-folders, is now much faster.

    Tasks | Fix | Items out of order when sorted by folder upon refresh.
    Thanks to Carl for reporting this.

    Calendar | Fix | Using Mouse Wheel over task listing in Calendar section.

    Calendar | New Feature | New [Settings & Preferences/Reminder Alarm] setting, "Ignore notifications older than X days".
    Again, Carl. Thank you. I hope this works for you, but always try to "Dismiss All" when you want the Reminder Window to go away.

    UI | Fix | Changed Research Google search to not default to a mobile display due to the way Google changed their search parameters.
    If you manage your own research URLs, edit the Google entry to read:

    Google https://www.google.co.uk/search?nomo=1&q=%s

    That will stop the default "mobile" view that Google have sprung upon us.

    Build 1.1.1.1 - Download

    Just a Hot Quickie

    It's another "Hot Release Friday" today. Perhaps I should do this every week.
    Today's build focuses mainly on fixes. Especially with the Alert Message grabbing the focus from your active window. Hopefully fixed in this version so when your chimes sound it won't grab your focus... or should it? ;)

    Another useful fix is the scrollbar contrast. I realise in the dark theme you can hardly see the scrollbar thumb, so I've made some nice improvements to it.

    I hope you're enjoying the fixes and I'll see you next Friday :)

    Summary of changes for 1.1.1.1

    [UI | Fix] Alert message no longer takes focus control away when alert is displayed.
    [UI | Enhancement] Scrollbars contrast improved so you can see them better.
    [Browser | New Feature] Close button bar added above Developers Tools to make it easier to close.
    [Internal | Fix] Fixed an important crash when adding a new blank tab from a brand new database or one that has just opened.
    [Tasks | Fix] "Reference" field moved to "Other details" in Task edit window.
