Roland Weigelt's Emaroo 1.2.1 - Release Notes
Installation
- Doubleclick the MSI and install Emaroo.
- Start Emaroo (e.g. via the start menu); please be patient if the
very first start of Emaroo feels a bit sluggish. Depending on your
system it may take a while to read the icons (they will be cached and
persisted so subsequent starts will be faster).
- Use the arrow keys to visit the tab page with the paper airplane icon (or
press F1) for a quick reference of the features.
Tip: Use a global hotkey!
For a tool like Emaroo that is started rather often and is easy to use via keyboard, it only makes sense to launch it
using a global hotkey. Emaroo itself doesn't come with a feature for defining a
global hotkey (yet), but there are several things you can do:
- On Windows 7, you can pin Emaroo to the taskbar and start
it using Win+<digit>
(with <digit>
corresponding to the position of the icon in the task bar).
- All versions of Windows allow a shortcut key to be defined on shortcuts
appearing in the start menu or in the quick launch bar (right-click the
icon, -> "Properties" -> "Shortcut key"). Unfortunately, Win+<key>
combinations are not supported.
- You can use one of the many hotkey utilities (e.g.
Hotkeyz or AutoHotkey)
- If you're not using any of the above, you can use the
Emaroo Global Hotkey tool:
- Download it: Emaroo Global Hotkey 1.2.1
- Install it into the same directory as Emaroo
- Run Emaroo Global Hotkey from the Start menu (you will be asked to choose a global hotkey). You only have to start the tool manually once; after the next logon, it will be started automatically.
This tool is independent from the actual Emaroo version, i.e. once you
have installed and configured it, you don't have to care about it when updating
Emaroo itself.
What's New
Version 1.2.1 (released 2011-10-01)
Version 1.2.1 has been finished for a couple of months, but somehow
never made it to an official release due to lack of time - sorry!
- Fixed: Right-clicking an item did not select it before opening the context menu
- Fixed: Possible issues in certain corner cases
Version 1.2 (released 2010-11-07)
- Added: MRU lists can now be filtered by typing a search term, the
search results are shown in alphabetical order. The current version supports leading and trailing wildcards, i.e.
text*
for "starts with text"*text for "ends with text"-
text (equivalent to *text*) for
"contains text"
Tip: Typing "*" (without the quotes) will sort
an MRU list without filtering.
- Added: A (global) list of directories that should be
excluded from all lists can now be defined (open the file
"
ExcludedDirectories.txt.sample" in the Emaroo
installation directory for more information).
- Fixed: On the Explorer tab, "
\\servername"
entries were sometimes shown as being unavailable even if the server was
actually online.
Version 1.1 (released 2010-10-23)
- Added: Tab page for Windows Explorer, showing
directories that were recently entered into the address bar.
- Added: Accelerator keys for selecting tab pages by
pressing Alt+<key>.
- Fixed: Overlay icons of shell extensions not appearing in new
Windows Explorer instances on
some 64bit Systems.
- Changed: Ctrl+<digit> does no longer
switch to a specific tab page. Use the accelerator key for the tab page (Alt+<key>)
instead. The Ctrl+<digit> hotkeys will be used in a different
way in future versions.
Version 1.0 (released 2010-10-03)
