File Expression 0.9.4 ReleasePermalink

File Expression 0.9.4 is now available to download.  This one is a pretty big update compared to the rest, and addresses some issues that have been hanging around.


File Expression 0.9.4
  • ADD: Can add a description of the pattern.
  • ADD: Ability to insert text before or after found match.
  • ADD: Some logging is now done for troubleshooting failed searches and errors.
  • FIX: Buttons staying disabled when closing the 'Save File' dialog after a search.
  • FIX: Issue where selecting pattern action would not be saved.
  • FIX: Choosing pattern from list where the action is EDIT or ADD does not allow text editing until the action box is clicked.
  • FIX: More tolerant of missing/malformed pattern information.
  • FIX: Crash when trying to open a file that is already opened and locked.

There is still an issue if you're on a Win9x machine where it crashes when you click the 'browse' button.  It'll take a little longer to fix that since I don't have a readily available 9x machine laying around, but it'll be fixed in the next release.

File Expression 0.9.3 ReleasePermalink

File Expression 0.9.3 is now available to download.  This is just a minor bug fix.


File Expression v0.9.3
  • FIX: Crash after only deleting a pattern and not adding at least one new one to replace it.

In addition to that, the site is almost fully functional.  I've added alot behind the scenes and am pretty happy with how it's turned out.  It's not really anything you'll notice right away, but i've been building a framework for various features so when then time comes, the changes i'll make will be easier and the transition won't be so rough.
