QStripper 1.13 Released
Posted: Wed May 03, 2017 1:25 pm
https://sourceforge.net/projects/qstripper/files is the main download site.
Apologies to all who just downloaded the 1.12 version, but I've had a good lunch hour coding today, and I've fixed a long running bug, and added another new feature, so 1.13 is now available.
The bug first, the Euro character is now, finally and at long last, handled correctly in the editor, and even exports correctly no matter what format you wish to export. Hooray! This has been a bug bear since I first wrote the utility. So, how many years does it take to fix it? A lot. I ended up writing a whole new translate "codec" so that PC and QL files are correctly translated from 8 bit to UNICODE, QT uses UNICODE internally, and written out in the correct encoding - which is UTF8 for any text format except XML, which has to have ISO-8859-P15.
The feature? You can now open recently opened files. Up to 10 are kept between sessions and the most recent one is always at the top of the list. Each recent file has a shortcut - CTRL+n, where n is it's position in the list from 1 (first = most recent) to 0 (for the 10th file) (last = least recent of the 10 files). The list only shows files that still exists on your disc.
I've just uploaded the executable for Windows 32 and 64 bit, plus Linux 64 bit. When I get access to a 32 bit Linux system, I'll do a build and put the executable up for that too.
Cheers,
Norm.
