Krusader Newsletter, 18 March 2007

http://krusader.sourceforge.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1913

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the second Krusader Newsletter of 2007 with news, views and
information about recent developments and ongoing issues in the
Krusader project. Our aim is to inform of recent developments, give a
preview of upcoming features and to let our loyal users have a direct
line to the Krusader Krew.

New features available in cvs
**********************************
Since the last newsletter [1] several bugfixes and a Useraction improvement
where added in cvs. We welcome and encourage your feedback! Download it
[2], play with it, push it to the limit, and then tell us what you
found! More cvs information is available in the Changelog [3],
cvsnews [4] and the changelog diff [5].

Changelog:
---------------------------------------------------------------
ADDED: Support for useraction placeholders in Krusader's commandline
patches by Jiri Palacek and Vaclav Juza, thanks a lot!
ADDED: New default user action "Backup current"
http://www.kde-files.org/content/show.php?content=29801
ADDED: ALT+C as default shortcut for compare directories

CHANGED: Useractions: much better handling of the Each-placeholder
patch by Jiri Palacek, thanks!
UserActions: Expander: Many fixes, better error handling, sensible
%_Each&-handling
Finaly we managed to implement Jiris 100K patch for the useractions.
This patch
handles the Each-placeholder much better (i.e. allows Each inside
Copy and can deal
with multiple Each's) and provides a good base for future
extensions. Thanks a lot!

CHANGED: Icons in the 3rd hand (preview, quick and view)
FIXED: KrServices::separateArgs bug, thanks to Jiri Palacek
FIXED: Broken 3rd hand disk usage icon on systems with basic installation
FIXED: [ 1649705 ] "Deleting non-empty directories" confirmation bug
FIXED: keyboard problems in synchronizer
FIXED: [ 1601632 ] Esc don't work in KrViewer on SVG files
FIXED: 'preserve attributes' sometimes fails setting the file mode
FIXED: clicking on the 3rd hand widget's header, doesn't set focus
FIXED: [ 1647279 ] out-of-bounds array access in the Filelight widget
FIXED: Broken view panel icon in 3rd hand when Crystal icon theme is used
FIXED: [ 1629450 ] Editing files in a separate window
FIXED: Valgrind: Invalid Read at switching to a panel profile

I18N: Fixed [ 1650677 ] German: Wrong apostrophs
I18N: Broke and fixed the plurals again! (in the latter case, thanks to
Vaclav Juza for the help ;))

Krusader 1.70.x distribution news
***************************************
Distrowatch.com only tracks stable releases, so there is no
distribution information about Krusader 1.80.0-beta1.
Distrowatch.com reports 16 distibutions that provide
Krusader-1.70.0 [7] and 24 distros that provide Krusader-1.70.1
[8]. Some distributions have released distro updates or beta
releases. Be aware that Distrowatch.com only checks the initial
release of a distro, so updates and backports are not always reported
in this list. Some other distros use repositories where Krusader can
be downloaded and installed but from now on distrowatch.com tracks also
the the Fedora Extras repository, so from now on Fedora is added in
krusaders distrolist.
