Version 2.6.0.960 alpha is out

[arb...@nomad-net.info]

Hello everybody. Today is my birthday, so I decided to present a
preview of new release. This is major upgrade features tabs, portable
mode, configurable themes and so on. Also this version introduces
breaking changes into configuration files, so options upgrade from the
previous version is not possible, you need to manually configure
everything again (and even copy your bookmarks and tools into new
location). Sorry. But I hope this is last time, because due to new
configuration subsystem, everything now is written by me, and I hope I
can provide transparent upgrade path in future.

As usual I need you responses about this release. So feel free to send
your ideas, comments and of course bug reports. And don't be silent!

Program has also uploaded to the files section of this group:
http://groups.google.com/group/nomad-net/web/nomad-net_2_6_0_960_a.zip

Happy birthday! :)
And thank you for the new version.

[TnS]

I also would like to wish you happy birthday! :)

My first bug that I encountered with is that on 64 bit Windows 7
archives are not working, Tools/Options/Archive says that "No archive
format descriptions found".

Anyway I'm happy that I've found this program (on
http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=9958.msg106722#msg106722
), because it looks very promising. :)

Firstly, Happy Birthday! and thanks for this present.
I love the new version, and the tabs are great (with vertical folder
bar, 1 panel and in detailed view). I haven't spent much itm with it
yet. But i did get 1 exception. See below.
I also have one question. Where does the configuration save to? (how
do i make it portable?)

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


2. Ctrl+G

when to type f:\
message occurs 'Invalid folder name' with not correct description "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"


3. Deleting files on flash devices\HDD in recycle bin does not work

Often deleting files with flag(move to recycle bin turned on) does not work without any message.
When flag is off, all works fine

4. Feature suggest

when there'are much windows are opened, it's comfortable to view percentage of copy in task bar,
but this is not comfortable because for russian translation caption is stripped and user have to put mouse above the task bar copying/moving window item and wait for popup.

idea is to Copy/Move {0}%-> Copy {0}% or Move {0}%, that will allow to view entire message about percentage of completing in taskbar without opening window. Also % of work is important so maybe there's no sence to take it in ()

as for me that's not important in nomad, because i'm often copying much from computer caffe to flash device and there's no .net 2 installed nor nomad.

5. Also about program main menu. Intellectual menu.

Idea is based on fact that in overloaded with menu items programs all menu items that were used very rarely in past week are hidden and arrow(that shows all hidden) in the bottom of such menuses are added. That helps to user to not read in xxx-th time 'Connection with Ftp' without taking care of configuring the program and speeds up their work.

what do you think of it?

6. Bug with popup window. When working with some programs i sometimes see a modal popup with file selected file contents when nomad is inactive and i work with other application.

7. Deleting files via keyboard issue

In dialog box button Cancel is activated, so user have to press 'Arrow left' and enter to complete the operation. Cases when user makes mistake with removing files/folders are rare, and for such cases a recycle bin was done in windows, but the discomfort for removing files via keyboard present always(user have to press 'Arrow left')

Look at nomad.exe.config file there is commented section at top of
this file, you can uncomment it, and nomad will become portable. There
is also config strings for bookmarks and tools location, so you can
configure them too if you wish (by default they linked to default
configuration path).

Can you reproduce this bug? Maybe some steps that lead to this bug?

This is not a bug really. This archive includes 7z.dll for 32bit
windows only. And while nomad can work both in 32 and 64 bit, 7z
won't. So right now you need to download 64bit 7z. Install it. And
take 7z.dll from 7z folder.

Later, when nomad will go final, I will include both 7z.dll versions
in the installer (I already has install script made by Cuchuk Sergey :)

[Hunter]

oh yeah sorry, i didn't say when the exception occurred: after i
upgraded from the last Nomad I ran this version for the first time. I
turned off the dual panel, turned on the vert folder bar, changed to
detailed view and created 2 new tabs. I went to the Options and turned
on (always) the delayed icon reading, and Ok. I then tried to close
the form (top right X). The exception occured. I selected Continue and
tried to shutdown again and did not get an error. If i open and close
Nomad now, i do not get any error.

Thanks for the delayed icon reading tip, Nomad.NET is now almost as
fast a Total Commander. :) I think it should be always by default.

also this problem can be avoided by configuring according to this article http://opensebj.blogspot.com/2007/12/64-bit-windows-with-c-express-net-and.html
