January 2004: Version 3.4 is a maintenance release, free for all registered users of version 3.
New features
| · | Multiple montors: Improved handling for multiple monitors on Windows XP: Help & Manual runs properly on a secondary monitor and remembers its window position(s).
|
|
|
| · | Screen capture: also improved for multiple monitors. The screen capture save dialog in Help & Manual saves the format preference for easier selection.
|
|
|
| · | Insert Picture dialog box: keeps the most recent file name for easier selection.
|
|
|
| · | Help Context Tool: Import of help context numbers has an option to automatically create new topics.
|
|
|
| · | HTML Help export:
|
| Redundant HTML formatted popup topics are removed.
|
| TCard Winhelp macros now translate fixed logical parameters (IDYES, IDNO, ...).
|
| The default extension for topic pages (in Project|Properties -> HTML Layout -> Topic Pages) can now be either ".htm" or ".html".
|
|
|
| · | HTML Help / Runtime merging: You can specify the master table-of-contents for run-time merged child files. This is important, if you call context topics in child files from your application.
|
|
|
| · | Browser based help:
|
| After some modifications of the Javascript, it is now possible to address a particular anchor in a page with the syntax "...index.html?testtopic.htm,anchorid".
|
| All popup topics now have a title. In previous versions, they appeared as "untitled topic" in the keyword index.
|
| HTML template parser included double quotation marks in certain cases. This problem is now fixed.
|
| If the default topic had an umlaut in the topic ID, it did not work with a static table of contents.
|
| The $ prefix for TOC and index files was removed because of incompatibilites with MS Visual Source Save. You can activate the $ prefix (or any other prefix) though in Project|Properties -> HTML Layout.
|
|
|
| · | Manual designer: text objects show dummy data in the preview instead of long variable names. A new alignment function on the Edit menu makes it easier to align objects properly on a page.
|
|
|
| · | Word/RTF export: new option to insert a file name marker for images.
|
|
|
| · | eBooks (Multimedia Help): we changed the name "Multimedia Help" to "e-Book" in general.
|
| The e-book EXE view now supports a wheel mouse.
|
|
|
| · | Batch export (command line parameters): the batch export now has a new /debug switch to test it.
