VERSION HISTORY FOR WEBRESEARCH 3 PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL ============================================================ Format: Version of the WebResearch application - Date of release Version 3.1.4913 - December 2, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - FIX: After installing recent hotfixes from Microsoft for shell32.dll under Windows 7, the WebResearch application quit unexpectedly with a runtime error 91 on startup and could no longer be started successfully. In addition, "Save Web Page As..." no longer worked in the browser. For instance, this problem occurred after installing the "Enterprise Hotfix Rollup for Windows 7", a collection of 90 bug fixes for Windows 7 SP1 especially targeted for company networks. This collection of bug fixes is currently only available for download on the Microsoft Web site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2775511/) and is not yet distributed and automatically installed via Windows Update. This WebResearch update restores compatibility with the latest version of shell32.dll that is contained in the Enterprise Hotfix Rollup for Windows 7 SP1. - FIX: When displaying the submenu with the recently used folders for moving documents, WebResearch might quit unexpectedly with a runtime error 13 in rare cases. - Minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4912 - November 12, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: WebResearch now releases occupied memory when closing the WebResearch program window (by default, when closing the program window, WebResearch continues to run in the background with an icon in the notification area of the taskbar to avoid time-consuming relaunches of the program) - Minor bug fixes, improvements, and optimizations Version 3.1.4910 - October 17, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: Compatibility adjustments for Windows 8.1 release version and Internet Explorer 11 release version under Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 (earlier WebResearch versions are not compatible with Internet Explorer 11 under Windows 8.1) - NEW: Improved compatibilty with High-DPI displays under Windows 7 and Windows 8 - NEW: WebResearch now uses Internet Explorer 11 to display saved documents if installed. Benefits: + even faster display of saved Web pages + even more support for CSS3/HTML5 layout features in saved Web pages - Numerous minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4905 - August 3, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: Compatibility adjustments for Windows 8.1 Preview and Internet Explorer 11 Preview - FIX: In WebResearch Personal, saved Web pages could no longer be opened in the browser by double-clicking. Version 3.1.4904 - May 6, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: WebResearch now uses Internet Explorer 10 to display saved documents if installed. Benefits: + even faster display of saved Web pages + correct display of most modern CSS3/HTML5-based Web pages - NEW: Minor adjustments to Windows 8 Preview as well as Internet Explorer 10 - NEW: More robust moving of data files (File -> Collection -> Change Location). For example, if moving a collection to an external hard drive fails because the drive is full, the original collection will not be affected. - NEW: In Full Screen Reading Mode, searching the displayed Web page is possible (by pressing CTRL+F). - NEW: The limit for not automatically displaying large documents in the Reading Pane has been expanded to 3 MB (formerly 2 MB). - NEW: The shortcut key to show/hide the (running) WebResearch application has been changed from Windows logo key+W to Windows logo key+A because under Windows 8, the Windows logo key+W shortcut is reserved for searching the system settings. - FIX: On startup of the WebResearch application, a runtime error 76 "Path not found" could occur under rare circumstances, preventing the startup of the application. - FIX: When saving an Internet address from within the WebResearch application, just "http://" and not the entire specified address might have been saved in WebResearch. Saving Internet addresses from the browser was not affected. - FIX: When saving a Web page with Internet Explorer 10, images referenced in style sheets might not have been saved. Earlier versions of Internet Explorer were not affected. - FIX: When saving eBay pages with Internet Explorer 10, the inner content IFRAME of the page was missing (caused by stricter security policies in Internet Explorer 10). - FIX: The WebResearch application quit unexpectedly if a search term contained the ' character. - FIX: If a collection was no longer available, Internet Explorer quit unexpectedly when opening the WebResearch Explorer bar (Windows XP only). - FIX: While editing a saved Web page, pressing CTRL+SHIFT+V would turn off the Reading Pane, and the WebResearch application would quit unexpectedly. - FIX: When changing the icon of a folder, the name of the folder was temporarily no longer displayed in the Reading Pane. - Numerous minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4860 - September 28, 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: Support for Firefox 7 (in conjunction with the new WebResearch Firefox Extension 1.9.5, which requires this WebResearch update) - NEW: If the WebResearch saving engine crashes, Firefox is no longer affected because the saving is now executed by a separate process (WRGet.exe; saving in Internet Explorer already has been working this way). - NEW: Reduced memory usage in Firefox because the WebResearch saving objects are freed immediately after saving has finished. - NEW: When using "Save Selection As" in Firefox, the original formatting is now preserved. (Until now, this only worked when using "Save Selection" but not with "Save Selection *As*"). - FIX: When saving a Web page in Firefox, a Division by Zero error could occur on some computers. - FIX: Certain selections that contained special characters couldn't be saved in Firefox. - FIX: The shortcut key for saving an Internet address (SHIFT+F9) didn't work in Firefox. - FIX: In very rare cases, the local ScrapBook file path was displayed for saved Web pages instead of the actual Internet address. - FIX: After switching the keyboard layout in Windows (for example, after switching from English to Russian), Firefox suddenly stopped responding if a Web page had already been saved before. (A big Spasibo to all our customers in Russia for their patience with this nasty issue!!) - FIX: Scrolling upward in the Document List didn't work smoothly when using the Microsoft Touch Mouse. - Minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4857 - July 20, 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: Speed improvements when loading the WebResearch toolbar and during saving in Internet Explorer (optimized communication between the WebResearch toolbar and the separate saving process) - FIX: PDF documents that were served via JavaScript sometimes could not be saved correctly. - FIX: In Firefox, when saving a Web page whose Internet address was longer than 255 characters, the WebResearch saving process could quit unexpectedly and Firefox afterward. In addition, the following error message appeared: "Data Provider or other service returned an E_FAIL status". - FIX: Text from the Clipboard could no longer be saved using the Windows logo key+Y shortcut. - FIX: In the WebResearch application, after closing a shortcut menu, the runtime error "Method ~ of object ~ failed" could occur in rare cases. - FIX: When right-clicking a non-active folder, the folder shortcut menu didn't appear right away and only after right-clicking once more. - FIX: When selecting a highlighter color while the Highlighter Remover was active, the highlighter icon on the toolbar wasn't updated and continued to display the Highlighter Remover icon. - FIX: After saving a screen clipping or closing the folder selection dialog box, a window from another running program might have become active and brought to the foreground. - FIX: In Windows Classic mode (Windows 7 and Vista), when moving documents using drag and drop, disturbing flicker might have occurred in the Folder List. - FIX: On slow computers or under a low screen resolution, opening Full Screen Reading Mode could cause the WebResearch application to quit unexpectedly. - Numerous minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4854 - May 31, 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: Unicode support in Thumbnails view and Multiple Saving (ensures correct display of Asian characters in Web page titles, for example) - NEW: Minor speed improvements - FIX: After installing the PDF viewer "Foxit Reader 5.0", PDF documents were no longer saved correctly in WebResearch. This problem didn't occur with earlier versions of Foxit Reader. - FIX: In rare cases, Web pages were saved with a wrong character encoding, resulting in altered characters that appeared on the saved Web page. (This problem could occur if a different charset was received in the HTTP header than specified in the HTML source of the page.) - FIX: Images on Web pages whose "alt" or "title" attribute contained the ">" character were not saved. - FIX: When saving a Web page that contained multiple iframes that referenced each other, an infinite loop could occur, finally causing a runtime error and crash of the WebResearch Saving process. - FIX: In very rare cases, thumbnail images were not created correctly for Web pages from certain sites. - FIX: When entering a category longer than 100 characters, WebResearch quit unexpectedly (The maximum length for a category is 100 characters.) - Minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4853 - May 20, 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: Improved Web page saving in Internet Explorer 8 and 9 by filtering the style sheets (CSS) of the Web page before saving: WebResearch now only saves those pictures referenced in style sheets that are actually being used on the specific page. (Under Firefox, this is done by the WebResearch ScrapBook extension.) Benefits: + Much faster saving as fewer elements (GIF images, for example) must be saved. + Smaller size of the saved documents (even more documents can be stored in a collection) + Quicker viewing, moving, and deleting of saved Web pages - NEW: Improved Full Screen Reading Mode for distraction-free reading of long documents (accessible by clicking Read on the toolbar, for example) * Choose among 25 high-quality background patterns * The width of the page is automatically adjusted to the document width of the Web page so that no horizontal scrolling is required. * The document is always centered on the screen, also after manually changing the document width (by dragging the page margins). * The toolbar at the bottom of the screen is only displayed on hover and is automatically hidden when the mouse pointer leaves the area. * Full Screen Reading Mode can now be activated quickly by pressing the SPACEBAR in the Document List. Further pressing of the SPACEBAR scrolls the document. * Faster switching to and back from Full Screen Reading Mode (flicker-free return to WebResearch application under Windows 7 Aero) Tip: For maximum speed of Full Screen Reading View, under Windows 7 and Vista, install Internet Explorer 9 even if you're using a different default browser like Firefox, and make sure to use the latest graphics driver. - NEW: When double-clicking in the Reading Pane, it is now only maximized when double- clicking an empty area of the Web page. This allows selecting a word on the page by double-clicking it without also maximizing the pane (which might be undesired). - FIX: Exported Single File Web Pages (.mht files) could not be displayed if the original Internet address of the exported Web page contained a number sign (#). - FIX: When syncing, subfolders of the Internet Addresses folder might have been ignored. - FIX: When syncing, folder comments were ignored. - FIX: After saving a PDF document in Internet Explorer, the progress bar was no longer working when saving Web pages afterward in the same browser tab or window. - FIX: After changing the position of a collection in the Folder List, moving or deleting documents in the collection was not possible until another folder was selected. - FIX: After manually updating the view (by pressing F5, for example), Network Collections might have been displayed as temporarily unreachable. - FIX: After leaving Full Screen Reading Mode, parts of the WebResearch application window might not have been redrawn successfully, resulting in temporarily blank screen areas. - FIX: In certain cases, occupied GDI resources were not released again in the WebResearch application (resource leak). - FIX: When shutting down Windows or logging off, a runtime error 91 could occur if the WebResearch application was still running in the background and a saved Web page had been edited lately. - Minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4803 - April 20, 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: Dynamically added elements on Web pages (such as "Like" buttons from Facebook) can now be saved correctly offline in WebResearch. As a result, the display of those Web pages in WebResearch is now faster. - NEW: WebResearch can now save pictures that are included inline in Web pages (using the Data URI scheme). - NEW: Faster saving of Web pages (Internet Explorer and Firefox) - NEW: Faster folder search - NEW: In the Refresh from the Web dialog box, both browser windows are now scrolled synchronously, which makes it easier to compare both Web pages. - NEW: If installed, WebResearch now uses Internet Explorer 9 to display saved Web pages. Benefits: + extremely quick display (by using hardware acceleration) + correct display of modern CSS3-based Web pages - FIX: While saving a Web page, the WebResearch Saving process could quit unexpectedly or stop responding when encountering a redirection whose target URL was longer than 400 characters. This single issue was responsible for more than 90% of crashes occurring while saving. - FIX: Style sheets that were served by the Web server in gzip or deflate compression might not have been saved correctly. As a result, the saved Web page was not displayed as expected in WebResearch (just with basic formatting). - FIX: Pictures on Web pages whose source address contained the % character were not displayed offline in WebResearch. - FIX: If Internet Explorer 9 was installed, the highlighter mouse pointer was no longer displayed in most cases. - FIX: In the Folder List, the scrollbar was sometimes drawn incompletely. - FIX: After switching to the already runnig WebResearch application, the DEL key sometimes didn't work immediately. - Minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4704 - April 8, 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 4 are now fully supported. - NEW: In Full Screen Reading Mode, WebResearch now remembers the last scroll position, which makes reading long articles in multiple steps more comfortable. - NEW: Optimized colors in the WebResearch application under Windows 7 Aero - FIX: After installing Internet Explorer 9, the WebResearch application might have stopped responding after clicking a button on the toolbar of the application. - FIX: In Internet Explorer 9, the WebResearch Edit toolbar could no longer be activated. - FIX: When installing WebResearch when Internet Explorer 9 was installed, the WebResearch Edit toolbar was automatically displayed on the first startup of Internet Explorer. - FIX: Internet Explorer 9 stopped responding after closing the Customize WebResearch Toolbar or Define Personal Fixed Style dialog boxes. - FIX: After installing Internet Explorer 9, Multiple Saving could quit with a runtime error on certain Web pages. - FIX: When trying to expand a password protected structure of a Web site, Multiple Saving quit with an "Access denied" runtime error. - FIX: In Internet Explorer, when choosing another color for the highlighter, the new color only became active after restarting Internet Explorer. - FIX: In Firefox, when saving a screen clipping, a runtime error occurred when the Save Screen Clipping dialog box was maximized the last time when saving a screen clipping. This issue could only be resolved by reinstalling WebResearch. - FIX: If Data Execution Prevention (DEP) had been activated in Windows 7, the WebResearch application quit unexpectedly when trying to display the progress in the taskbar (while optimizing or moving documents to another collection, for instance). - FIX: When creating a folder, in rare cases, the runtime error "Key column information is insufficient or incorrect" might have occurred, and the folder was not created. - FIX: Thumbnail generation sometimes was slow for Web pages with Flash animations. - FIX: Some thumbnails were generated with browser scrollbars visible at the bottom and the right side of the thumbnail. - FIX: When activating Full Screen Reading Mode for a Web page that contained an IFRAME with Internet references, a new browser window was opened, and just the contents of the IFRAME were displayed in the browser window. The actual Web page was not displayed in Full Screen Reading Mode, however. - FIX: After deleting characters from the yellow Document Comment text box, traces of the previous comment might still have been temporarily visible at the end of the comment (display garbage). - FIX: In the Document Comment text box, two mouse clicks might have been required to set the position of the insertion point (text cursor) with the mouse. - Numerous minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4501 - September 18, 2010 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: The WebResearch toolbar in Internet Explorer now loads up to 50% faster. - NEW: Under Windows 7 and Vista, the menus of the WebResearch toolbar in Explorer are now displayed in the native Windows menu style (faster, prettier icons, etc.) - NEW: At the bottom of the list of the recently used folders for saving (WebResearch toolbar in Internet Explorer), the new command "Other Folder" quicky allows choosing a folder that is not on the list. - NEW: You can now add the "Save In" button to the WebResearch toolbar in Internet Explorer (under Tools, Customize WebResearch Toolbar). This button displays the dialog box to choose a WebResearch folder and then saves the document to that folder. ("Save As" offers more options but requires two additional mouse clicks) - NEW: When dragging a Web page out of WebResearch, the source address of the document is now included in the page header. - NEW: Faster exporting and sending of Web pages when WebResearch metadata should be included in the page header. - FIX: When editing a Web page in WebResearch, the CTRL+X shortcut (Cut) no longer worked. - FIX: If Foxit was installed as the PDF viewer, using the "Check If Already Saved" command with a PDF document caused a runtime error. - FIX: On certain computers, the Back Up Collection command and AutoBackUp were not executed. - FIX: In Internet Explorer 9 Beta, saving a screen clipping from an Internet Explorer window could cause a runtime error. - FIX: In Internet Explorer 9, the "Save Linked Web Pages Command" caused a runtime error. - FIX: In Internet Explorer 9 Beta, the "Edit Web Page" command caused a runtime error, and Internet Explorer quit unexpectedly. - Minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4477 - September 4, 2010 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: You can now quickly reuse WebResearch documents outside of WebResearch by using the drag & drop method. Instead of using the Export command, just drag documents to a destination outside of WebResearch. Usage examples: * Drag documents from WebResearch to the desktop or a USB drive. * Drag documents to a new e-mail or instant message window for quick forwarding. - Additional minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4474 - August 24, 2010 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: Emptying the Deleted Documents folder is faster. - NEW: In Multiple Saving under Windows 7 or Vista, the triangles from Windows Explorer are displayed as expand/collapse indicators. - FIX: Document Packages might not have been created successfully and could not be opened with WebResearch (only occurred in the previous version 3.1.4473). - FIX: Sending as Document Package was not possible when using Windows Live Mail (successor to Outlook Express). - FIX: When using huge Network Collections (with databases larger than 6 GB), a runtime error "Query timeout has expired" could occur on startup.

Could not update; currently locked." - FIX: Under Office 2010 64-bit, transferring a WebResearch document to Word or using the Set Reminder for Follow Up feature no longer worked. - FIX: In the folder selection dialog box, after clicking two different tabs in very rapid succession, WebResearch could stop responding. - FIX: When saving a screen clipping, a window that was partially obscured by another window could not be captured completely because it was not successfully brought to the foreground. - FIX: After optimizing, the new size of the collection was temporarily displayed in GB instead of MB. - FIX: If 16-bit color depth was set in Windows, a runtime error occurred when using the Scanner Interface. - Additional minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4413 - May 19, 2010 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: Much faster display of saved documents - NEW: Slider in the status bar to set the zoom level for saved Web pages and images in the Reading Pane (helpful for small screens with a high resolution, where text would be hard to read at 100% zoom). - NEW: When creating a new document or editing a saved Web page, you can now paste pictures from the Clipboard (by pressing CTRL+V). - NEW: Under Windows 7, during lengthy operations, the progress is displayed as a progress bar inside of the WebResearch taskbar icon (when moving documents to another collection or during optimization, for example). - NEW: After setting a reminder for follow up, when Outlook displays the corresponding task, the referenced WebResearch document can now be opened directly from within the task window by double-clicking. This even works if the document has been moved to another collection in the meantime. - NEW: The Flash blocker in Internet Explorer now automatically requests administrator permission once if Flash can no longer be blocked due to missing registry permissions (probably caused by a recent Flash update that locked down the Flash registry keys). - NEW: IFRAMES containing Google ads are now always filtered out while saving. - NEW: If a wrong charset is specified for a Web page, WebResearch automatically detects this problem and corrects the charset for the saved document. - NEW: When dragging a folder, the folder is always displayed next to the mouse pointer so you can be sure that you picked the right folder for moving. - NEW: After moving a document, a notification is displayed in the status bar. - NEW: The complete path of a folder is now also displayed in a balloon for results of a folder search. - NEW: The Categories folder is now called Categorized Documents. - NEW: In the Domain column, the www. prefix is no longer displayed for each document. - NEW: Faster transfer to Microsoft Word - NEW: Sending documents from within WebResearch now supports Thunderbird. - NEW: Further visual enhancements in regards to the Windows 7 Aero style (The Document Comment text box now sports a soft gradient instead of plain yellow; new notification window for large documents; status window during optimization; and more). - FIX: After importing multiple files, the imported files and folders could nowhere be found inside WebResearch if the option "Create the same folder structure in the collection as on disk" was active and the New Documents folder had been selected as destination. - FIX: When importing multiple files from disk, the import process could stop unexpectedly. - FIX: In very rare cases, when saving a Web page, garbage or a fragment from another Web page was appended at the end of the document. - FIX: After exporting or sending as a WebResearch Document Package, documents could not be moved or deleted any longer until restarting WebResearch. - FIX: When exporting a whole search results folder as a WebResearch Document Package, WebResearch quit unexpectedly with a runtime error. - FIX: If a thumbnail image could not be generated for a specific document, the following documents in the folder might display thumbnails from other documents. - FIX: When displaying or exporting a saved Web page that contained a style sheet larger than 300 KB, WebResearch could quit unexpectedly. - FIX: In the Document List, the file type icon might not have been displayed for certain plain text file types. - FIX: Under Windows 7, when transferring a document to Word 2010, long delays and a runtime error could occur. - FIX: When resizing the WebResearch application window, the previous status bar text suddenly disappeared. - FIX: In the "Examine Last Saved Document" dialog box and in Full Screen Reading Mode, the mouse pointer could flicker heavily with certain documents. - FIX: In the ToolTip that appeared after pointing to a collection in the Folder List, garbage characters might be displayed, or the ToolTip might have been displayed incompletely. - FIX: In rare cases, the Document List would switch to rename mode even if two different documents had been clicked one after another. - FIX: When clicking inside the WebResearch application while optimizing a collection, Windows reported that WebResearch was no longer responding. Especially during lengthy optimizations, this could give the impression that WebResearch had crashed despite the still running optimization. - FIX: Under Windows 7 64-bit, when saving a Web page in Internet Explorer, a security warning related to WRPH.dll could appear in rare cases. - FIX: When saving a YouTube page in Firefox or Opera after March 2010, a recommendation to switch to a newer browser was displayed in the Reading Pane when viewing the saved document. - Numerous minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.1.4310 - October 9, 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: Improved Folder List: * Space between collections (like in Windows Explorer of Windows 7) * More pleasant, subdued colors for the numbers next to the folders * Light background color * During a drag & drop operation under Windows Vista and Windows 7: + Mouse pointer sports Explorer style, which makes it easier to recognize + Highlights the full row on hover + Collapsed collections expand on hover + No more flickering of the mouse pointer * No more mouse flickering when expanding large folder branches * Much faster processing, resulting also in faster application startup - NEW: Improved saving of Web pages in Internet Explorer and Opera * Much faster saving (especially when saving repeatedly from a specific site) * High fidelity even when saving most complex, CSS-based Web pages * Web pages in new eBay layout are saved correctly again * No more flickering of the status bar display ("xx elements left") - NEW: Improved export of saved Web pages * Sophisticated, CSS based Web pages are now exported even truer to the original. * WebResearch metadata are now inserted as a separate area (IFrame) into the page header or footer, better preserving the layout of the metadata header. * The source Internet address inserted into Single File Web Pages (.mht files) is now an active hyperlink that can be clicked. * Speed improvements when exporting - NEW: Modernized visuals, such as: * numerous icons in higher quality (for document importance, for example) * more pleasant saving sounds in Windows Vista/7 audio style (a different saving sound can be specified in Control Panel) * adjustments to the Windows 7 color scheme * adjustments of even more dialog boxes to the Windows 7 Aero style (Synchronize window, New Collection wizard, Enter License dialog box, etc.) * more coherent colors under Windows Vista * new animations during lengthy operations * less intense yellow for search term highlighting * new highlighter mouse pointer * more neutral background in Full Screen Reading Mode - NEW: The total number of documents in a folder is now displayed right next to the folder path (in the bar below the toolbar). - NEW: When saving a screen clipping, the non-selected area of the screen is now dimmed, making it easier to select the desired area for the clipping. - NEW: When saving just an Internet address, a different sound is played than when saving a complete Web page. - NEW: If the Document List is active and no text is selected, pressing CTRL+C automatically copies the Internet address of the active document and puts it on the Clipboard. - NEW: The document size is displayed in KB instead of bytes. For documents saved in the last two days, "Today" and "Yesterday" is displayed instead of the real date saved. - NEW: The Create New Folder command now always creates one more folder on the current level. Subfolders can be created using the shortcut menu as before. (Through this change, creating new root folders is much easier because it's no longer required to select the collection first.) - NEW: In the folder selection dialog box, when pointing to a tab (representing a collection), the file location of the collection data file is displayed in a ToolTip. - NEW: In the menu that lists the last used folders for moving, when pointing to an item, a balloon tip appears that displays the complete path of the folder within its collection. - NEW: After copying the internal WebResearch address of a document, Microsoft Word automatically recognizes the address as a hyperlink when pasting. - NEW: In most cases, scrolling by using the mouse wheel is possible without having to click first. It's now sufficient to just point to the area that should be scrolled. Additional improvement: faster scrolling in the Document List when rotating the mouse wheel - NEW: If installed, WebResearch automatically uses Internet Explorer 8 for the document display in the Reading Pane. Benefit: Much faster display of saved Web pages, proper display of complex HTML 4/CSS 2.1-based Web pages. - NEW: More than 100 additional minor improvements, such as: * Systematic speed improvements * AutoBackUp is now always run whenever it's due, not just on exit. (Until now, for users who didn't exit WebResearch for several days, AutoBackUp might not have been run on time). * When suppressing the display of a document in the Reading Pane by holding down the ALT key, WebResearch now displays a notification. * If WebResearch quits unexpectedly under Windows Vista or Windows 7, Windows now offers to restart the program. * Under Windows Vista and Windows 7, WebResearch now displays all file folder paths in the Windows system language and no longer just in English, if possible. * In the delay page for large documents, when "Display document now" was clicked for a specific document, the delay page for this document is no longer displayed until restarting WebResearch. * When entering a folder or category name that already exists, WebResearch displays just a balloon warning and no longer a message box so that you can enter another name right away. * Also collections that are currently unavailable can be moved up or down in the Folder List. * All WebResearch program files are digitally signed. As a result, they are found trustworthy in Internet Explorer by default. - FIX: The DEL key sometimes no longer worked inside WebResearch after saving a Web page. - FIX: Under Windows Vista (beginning with SP1) and Windows 7 (32-bit only), WebResearch quit unexpectedly if a TabletPC or graphics tablet was used and a WebResearch folder was clicked. - FIX: After using the Scanner Interface, a runtime error "Element not found" could occur, and the WebResearch application could quit unexpectedly. This problem might have occurred only after a delay while normally using the WebResearch application. - FIX: Under Windows XP, the download page for the update didn't open after the download button was clicked in the update notification window. - FIX: Under Windows 7, AutoOptimize didn't run. - FIX: Under Windows 7, after each manual optimization, a warning appeared that optimizing was not possible. However, the optimization did in fact run successfully. - FIX: When opening the Create Web Page Presentation dialog box, a folder named Web Page Presentations was always left behind in the My Documents folder even if no presentation had been created. - FIX: Connecting to a network collection failed if the SQL Server didn't react within 2 seconds. WebResearch is waiting longer now and gives the SQL Server more time. - FIX: A changed folder comment might not have been saved when clicking in the Document List immediately after entering the comment. - FIX: When cleaning the Windows TEMP folder while WebResearch was active, it was only possible to display saved documents again after restarting WebResearch. - FIX: In some places, the time was always displayed in 24-hour format even if the 12-hour AM/PM U.S. time format was specified in Windows. - Additional minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.0.4038 - March 23, 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - FIX: After installing Internet Explorer 8, editing saved Web pages repeatedly (using the Highlighter, for example) could cause a loss of umlauts and special characters within the Web page if the Web page was in Unicode (UTF-8) format. This also affected all documents and notes created with WebResearch because they are also in Unicode format by default. - FIX: If a password longer than 20 characters was specified for a collection, the WebResearch application quit unexpectedly once (the maximum length for collection passwords is 20 characters). - FIX: In the Examine Last Saved Document dialog box, Web pages with frames might have been displayed incompletely. - FIX: When selecting a screen clipping on dark backgrounds (for saving in WebResearch), the selection border around the clipping area was barely visible. - FIX: Under Windows 7, an error message occurred when saving a screen clipping. - FIX: Under Windows 7, no mouse pointer was displayed in certain areas of the Save Web Page As dialog box. - Additional minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.0.4033 - February 21, 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEW: Significant speed enhancements in many areas (for example, when moving between collections, displaying documents, generating thumbnails, opening Document Packages, exporting, and much more) - NEW: New toolbar button "Remove Backgrounds" when editing a saved Web page removes all background colors and background pictures. (Frequently requested for cleaning up saved selections originating from Web pages with a dark background, for example) - NEW: In the "Examine Last Saved Document" dialog box, a new "Open in WebResearch" button allows to go quickly to the document's location in the WebResearch application. - NEW: When sending documents as a list of links, the comments of the documents will now be included as well in the message. - NEW: When sending WebResearch documents using Microsoft Outlook, the message window from Outlook no longer blocks the WebResearch application in the background. - NEW: Compatibility adjustments for Windows 7 - FIX: When saving from within Firefox, the local ScrapBook file path could appear in the WebResearch application and the Save Web Page dialog box instead of the actual Internet address for the document. (To fix this issue, the new Version 1.04 of the WebResearch Firefox extension must also be installed: in Firefox, on the Tools menu, click Add-ons, and then click the Find Updates button). - FIX: Moving documents to another, large collection could be quite slow (compared to earlier versions). - FIX: When moving documents to another folder from within a search result or a categories folder, the current folder view was closed and the collection properties were displayed. In addition, the entire Folder List was recreated, slowing down the move operation significantly. - FIX: If the last used folder for saving had been moved to the Deleted Documents folder in the meantime, WebResearch stopped responding after clicking Browse (to choose a folder for saving). - FIX: When searching for folders in the folder selection dialog box, WebResearch could stop responding when clicking a subfolder of the Document Inbox in the folder search result and the Document Inbox was hidden. - FIX: After installing Internet Explorer 8, it was no longer possible to expand the links of a Web page in Multiple Saving. Thus, the subpages referenced by the page could no longer be displayed and saved using Multiple Saving. - FIX: In Internet Explorer, the highlighter could no longer be activated for certain Web pages. This problem was more likely to occur after installing Internet Explorer 8. - FIX: The highlighter mouse pointer was no longer displayed after installing Internet Explorer 8. - FIX: After installing Internet Explorer 8, Microsoft Office documents stored in WebResearch were sometimes no longer displayed in the Reading Pane and were opened in the Office program instead. - FIX: The "Check if already saved" command only worked in Internet Explorer and Firefox but not in Windows Explorer (for checking files). - FIX: After updating to version 4 of Windows Search, WebResearch no longer displayed a notification that a search result might be incomplete if Windows Search was still creating the full-text index for the collection. - FIX: If the Windows Search service was disabled, WebResearch displayed a misleading error message when searching. - FIX: When canceling a synchronization, the changes already made were not automatically reflected in the Folder List and Document List of the WebResearch application. They only became visible after manually updating the view (by pressing F5, for example). - FIX: WebResearch no longer remembered the password for Network Collections when using SQL Server authentication. Thus, the password had to be re-entered each time when using WebResearch. - FIX: When AutoOptimizing, always the default collection was optimized even if another collection was specified for optimizing. - FIX: At startup, WebResearch could quit unexpectedly with a fault in kernel32.dll. - FIX: In rare cases, the WebResearch layout file could become corrupted. As a result, icons on many toolbar buttons and menu commands were missing. - FIX: The weekly automatic update check didn't work under certain cicumstances. - FIX: Under Windows Vista, if Firefox had been set as the default browser and Internet Explorer again later, WebResearch didn't see this change and continued to use Firefox as the default browser. - Numerous minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.0.4010 - May 23, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------ - FIX: When clicking "Save Selection As" on the WebResearch toolbar in Internet Explorer, the entire Web page was saved, not just the selection (saving a selection using the shortcut menu commands worked correctly, though). - FIX: If the connection to a network collection was dropped and a folder was clicked afterward, the WebResearch application quit unexpectedly. - FIX: After synchronizing, the changes didn't become immediately visible in the WebResearch application but only after refreshing the view. This could give the impression that the sync didn't run successfully. - FIX: When searching for all indexed documents, the WebResearch application quit unexpectedly if the search result should be shown in a new folder. - FIX: Under WebResearch Personal, the application could quit with a runtime error when viewing certain documents. This problem didn't occur under WebResearch Pro. - FIX: When saving Web pages from the Wall Street Journal (www.wsj.com), pictures were missing. - FIX: The "Examine Last Saved Document" command displayed an empty page when the last document that was saved was just an Internet address (not a Web page). - Additional minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.0.4008 - April 29, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------- - FIX: When creating a new document or note, pictures pasted from the Web were not saved. - Additional minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.0.4007 - April 23, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------- - FIX: Retrieval or export of large documents could take a long time. - FIX: When searching using Windows Search, Web pages containing frames were included multiple times in the search result. - FIX: Embedded URLs longer than 255 characters could not be processed correctly in certain cases. - FIX: When examining the last saved document or refreshing a document from the Web, script error messages could appear if the Web page contained script errors. - FIX: When creating, renaming, or deleting categories in the Select Categories dialog box, the changes were not automatically reflected in the WebResearch application. (For example, after clicking a category that had been deleted in the meantime, the WebResearch application quit unexpectedly.) Only after refreshing the view (by pressing F5, for example), the category changes became visible. - FIX: In Internet Explorer, balloon notifications shown by WebResearch didn't disappear right away after clicking them. - Additional minor improvements and optimizations Version 3.0.4004 - April 11, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------- - Initial release of WebResearch 3 For a list of earlier updates (Web Research 2.x), see: www.macropool.com/en/download/webresearch/wrhistory.txt -- Copyright (C) macropool 2008-2013
