March 2008 – Notesbrowser 1.8 Release Candidate 1
We are proud to release the new Notesbrowser 1.8 RC1.

This Version will go final in a few days if we don't find a critical bug.

Beta software disclaimer:
This is beta software, this means: Be careful, there may be undiscovered bugs. Please backup your Notesbrowser database before you install and backup often!

New features in Notesbrowser 1.8 RC1:
Here are the most important new features of the RC1 1.8:

Graphically and functionally enhanced reminder:
The reminder looks now better and dates and priorities are highlighted with small graphics.
Also the column headers are now resized automatically to the full available size:


New Date/Modify Date dialog has been re-designed:


There is a "New date" entry in the icon right click and the border right click menu


Repetition dates for X days/weeks/months can be inserted now

A running search can be aborted with ESC or a new small icon next to the progress bar:

A new MP3 Timer 2.3
The MP3-Timer is improved.

New Skin "Lime" for the Professional Version
The Professional version of Notesbrowser has a new skin (lime):

Vista Aero Support:
This version now supports Flip3D and other Aero Features:


Also the Vista taskbar preview:


This will be supported if Notesbrowser is run in the taskbar - if it is run as icon in the system tray these features are not supported. That is not an bug, Vista is designed this way!

Unlimited Fields supported on every Page (only pro version):

Unlimited Fields supported on every Page (only Pro Version). In reality, only 8 by 8 Fields are supported (64 Fields), because there is no more space (Fields can not be sized below a minimum size)

50 instead of 6 Notesbrowser Pages available (only Pro Version):

With 50 Pages you have now much more place for your notes. Theoretical you have in every category 3200 fields for notes.

Re-designed info page (in the configurations):


New features in Notesbrowser RC1:
- some language adaptions
- better print preview (Headlines are looking better, text in preview is word warped)
- uncritical bug resolved: "Insert field" places a field atop of another
- New key combination: CTRL+Shift + Arrow keys (up/down) moves Categories, left/right moves pages
- Move Categories has been improved internally to remove a bug where only the caption of two categories was exchanged and not the content. The bug appeared on XP or Vista with limited user rights, for example the guest account
- import bug from NB 1.6 "Load Error: End of file not found" resolved
- graphical error removed if you turn off Title bar

Attention:
If you use 1.8 RC1 with your Notesbrowser database, the files are updated and can not be downgraded for use with 1.7 or earlier versions again! The reason is, that 1.8 introduces more fields and pages that can not be read by the previous versions and will be lost if present.
