Change log for version 4.4
===============================================================================

Fixes:

( 1) We fixed an issue where an anchor tag containing a valid url but with one or more images in lieu of any link text would be ignored.

( 2) We fixed an issue where pasting or dropping file names containing embedded spaces did not work correctly since the first space was incorrectly treated as the end of the file name. As part of this fix we improved the matching of valid file names so that most but not all unquoted files names, particularly UNC names, will be recognized correctly. Note that if a valid file name does not actually exist then it is treated as text.

( 3) When pasting files an unnecessary query was removed and some unwanted behaviors were fixed. Pasting/dropping of files and/or urls should work correctly now and be less redundant.

( 4) We fixed a number of miscellaneous errors which occurred when processing multiple files at one time.

( 5) When selecting files from multiple sources it was possible to get multiple instances of the same file path. Duplicates are now removed.

( 6) Increased the list of non-text files which RCFV can ignore when doing a bulk retrieval. Note that since there are many proprietary file extensions only the most common ones are included.

( 7) Fixed a serious bug which could cause refreshing the display of a non-text (binary) file to loop.

( 8) Fixed a problem where the default file font as specified in the Startup section of the Settings was not being used for path lists.

( 9) If you selected and "pasted" a large number of files or urls (> 20,000 characters) from a path list or equivalent the files were not processed individually but were treated as a single text file which is likely not what was wanted. Note that this will still be the case if the total number of lines "pasted" exceeds 1000.

 

New features:

( 1) RCFV will, by default, ignore files which do not look like text files (or ones that can be converted to such as .DOC files), for example. You can change this behavior by unchecking the 'Ignore non-text files (based on extension)' option in the General tab settings. You might do this to be able to create a path list of the files rather than actually processing them. This is what you would do if you wanted to use Copy and edit to resize and display image files for example. When creating such a list you are given a number of ordering options, the last of which tells RCFV to read the actual files as opposed to just processing the name. You might do this to use the File List {F6} window to copy or move selected files to a particular directory. Alternatively, you might want to use RCFV to view the non-text file in hexadecimal display mode. Because most of the time you probably won't want to do this for non-text files we have added an additional message box to ensure that you did not select this option by mistake.

( 2) A new filter has been provided for Google News lookups.

( 3) Hides the file list window temporarily, if open, when removing files from the viewer.

( 4) Improved TTS voicing of numerics, viz., "$100m" is voiced as "one hundred million dollars", "$100B", "100mn", "100BN" similarly, "100x" is voiced as "one hundred times", and "FY25" as "fiscal year 2025" plus some other enhancements.

( 5) Included the optional voicing of "," with the voicing of ellipses. This is useful if the text contains a fair amount of comma-delimited data.
