New release v9.3 now available - update STRONGLY recommended for v9.2.x users

[Jean Lalonde]

This v9.3 includes new features, more integration with Directory Opus and Total Commander, internal performance improvements and fixes some bugs including one memory leak that can become noticeable when running QAP for a long period.

Update is strongly recommended for v9.2.x users and recommended for all other users.

Version: 9.3 (2018-11-14)

 

Directory Opus Favorites menu

- add the new QAP feature "Directory Opus Favorites" under the "Dynamic Menus" category

- at first QAP launch, add the QAP feature "Directory Opus Favorites" to main menu if DOpus is selected as supported manager (NOTE: users upgrading to this release must add the QAP feature manualy)

- fix bug when opening a group of folders in Directory Opus and DOpus is not launched, or when the first group item is not a folder

 

Total Commander Hotlist menu

- when builing Total Commander Hotlist menu, support path redirected by "RedirectSection=" value under [DirMenu] (in addition to supporting "AlternateUserIni=" under [Configuration]), with path relative to folder of wincmd.ini

- at first QAP launch, detect Total Commander ini file location and save it to the settings file

- fix bug when opening a group of folders in Total Commander when the first group item is not a folder

 

Various improvements

- add the option "Start Numeric Menu Shortcuts at 1 (instead of 0)" in "Options", "Menu" tab

- add "Refresh Live Folders and Shared menus" and "Open QAP working directory" items to Tray menu (QAP system menu)

- always close the "Update Quick Access Popup" dialog box after any buttons is clicked

- change QAP icon to gray "loading" icon at the beginning of QAP load sequence and set the normal blue icon when loading is complete and menu can be open

 

Performance improvements

- when checking if a path in Windows Recent Items is a document, if path is on a server (starting with "\\"), check if server is offline and if yes avoid trying to retreive info from the file

- when checking if a file in Windows Recent Items exists, if path is on a server, return that file does not exist if server is offline

- stop refreshing the Windows Apps list at each startup, do it at first QAP launch before adding the "My Windows Apps" menu to ini file, on demand when user adds a Windows App favorite or when RefreshWindowsAppsListAtStartup=1 in settings file

- when refreshing the "Clipboard" menu, do not refresh the menu if the Clipboard size is greater than 10,000 bytes to avoid too long delay before showing the menu (the maximum value can be changed using "ClipboardMaxSize=" in settings file)

 

Bug fixes

- fix bug in "Options", stop changing the QAP temporary folder from %TEMP% to QAP working folder by error

- after Settings import, reset the QAP temporary folder to %TEMP% to avoid dependency on local folder from other system

- fix bug in "Settings" tool tips labels were inversed for "Sort" and "Always on top" buttons

NOTE about the "In the Works" menu: Now that menu refresh time has been optimized (in v9.2.x), it is now recommended to "attach" the "Recent folders", "Recent files", "Frequent folders" and "Frequent files" menus to the QAP main menu. Make sure the "Attach all dynamic menus to QAP main menu" option is checked ("Settings", "Options" button, "Menu" tab, first check box in second column). For new installations, this option is now checked by default.
