New developments in CC (Cremer Commander) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Nov 07,23: Release of the new version 5.8 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Jul 18,23: The task "Help / Feedback to CP..." now informs the user if files (especially a currently open CAPLAN project *.CP) are locked and cannot be added to the message. Either the message will be created without the locked files or the user can close the CAPLAN project and then add the files again. Jul 03,23: Links to other folders are now resolved correctly when double-clicked. Thus the folder from the link is immediately set as the current folder. ----------------------------------------------------------- May 02,23: Release of the new version 5.7 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Feb 16,23: The setup now allows the online help for the installation to be accessed by pressing F1. Jan 25,23: If, when packing files, the named archive already exists, the user will now be asked about overwriting the file rather than about deleting it. ----------------------------------------------------------- Nov 03,22: Release of the new version 5.6 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- May 02,22: Release of the new version 5.5 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Feb 22,22: Even with simple formulas, the results of the calculator page had very small inaccuracies after the tenth decimal due to there being insufficient valid digits. This error has been rectified. ----------------------------------------------------------- Oct 21,21: Release of the new version 5.4 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Jul 15,21: All the selected files from the left file view will be trans- ferred as arguments to the button clicked in the right Programs view (via parameter %). This allows multiple files to be opened at once in CREDIT, CAPLAN or any other application. It is also possible to drag&drop the selected files onto a program button. ----------------------------------------------------------- May 03,21: Release of the new version 5.3 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 26,21: Since March 2021, calling the file search regularly caused CC to crash. This error has been rectified. Jan 13,21: For quite some time some files, especially images, have been opened with CREDIT when double clicking them in the file list. Now the images will be displayed with the associated application. ----------------------------------------------------------- Nov 06,20: Release of the new version 5.2 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Nov 03,20: The search for a certain text in files now finds the search text in the MS Office documents *.docx and *.xslx as well. Jun 22,20: In some networks, problems arose when accessing folders and files from the file dialog or with Cremer Commander. This caused the application to freeze. These problems should no longer arise. ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 30,20: Release of the new version 5.1 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 21,20: The dialog for renaming a file now adjusts its width according to the length of the filename. Jan 26,20: Connecting an USB stick could CC cause to crash. This should no longer happen. Jan 21,20: If the old version of CC was used in maximized mode, runn- ing the updated version of CC (version 5.0) could cause a crash. This crash is caused by the entry "MAXIMI=1" in the [CC-Frame] section of the CpUser.INI file. After deleting this line from CpUser.INI CC will start correctly. This error has been rectified in the current version of CC. ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 30,20: Release of the new version 5.1 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 21,20: The dialog for renaming a file now adjusts its width according to the length of the filename. Jan 26,20: Connecting an USB stick could CC cause to crash. This should no longer happen. Jan 21,20: If the old version of CC was used in maximized mode, runn- ing the updated version of CC (version 5.0) could cause a crash. This crash is caused by the entry "MAXIMI=1" in the [CC-Frame] section of the CpUser.INI file. After deleting this line from CpUser.INI CC will start correctly. This error has been rectified in the current version of CC. ----------------------------------------------------------- Nov 04,19: Release of the new version 5.0 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Oct 29,19: Caused by the Windows 10 update version 1903 problems arised if CC was executed in maximized mode. To circumvent these problems maximizing the CC window is no longer available. Jun 04,19: If, on closing CC, a network path was active, then with the following start the USR path was shown. Now the network path will be restored as far as it is available. ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 30,19: Release of the new version 4.9 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 16,19: The favorites list only shows local directories that actu- ally exist. Directories from network dirves will not be checked in advance. ----------------------------------------------------------- Oct 31,18: Release of the new version 4.8 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 30,18: Release of the new version 4.7 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Oct 30,17: Release of the new version 4.6 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 27,16: Release of the new version 4.5 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 10,17: The dialog for extending the program license now offers a direct hyperlink to our website after selecting the new mo- dule 'CP'. Mar 09,17: In some dialogs, pressing the F1 key did not show the cor- rect help page. This error has been rectified. Dec 22,16: Unfortunately, our recent setup program wrote the Windows Explorer commands "Open with CREDIT" "Open in CC" to the Windows registry incorrectly. By executing the REG files CREDITtoContextMenu.reg CCtoContextMenu.reg from the BIN folder the registry entries will be corrected retroactively. Dec 08,16: The current version no longer supports Windows XP ----------------------------------------------------------- Dec 07,16: Last version to support Windows XP ----------------------------------------------------------- Nov 29,16: In rare cases the auto refresh of folders could cause CC to crash. Such program crashes should no longer occur. Nov 16,16: If the option "Show hidden files and directories" (in "View / Options") was not set, a directory that contained another hidden directory was permanently refreshed. Thus it was nearly impossible to select a directory or a file. This error has been rectified. ----------------------------------------------------------- Nov 02,16: Release of the new version 4.4 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Sep 06,16: The recent change in Auto Refresh caused CC to close the folder box immediately in empty folders. This error has been rectified. Aug 29,16: In some folders, CC's Auto Refresh didn't update the file list although the folder contents had changed. This error has been rectified. Aug 04,16: With high resolution displays offering more than 2000 x 1000 pixels, CC now adapts its display so that the user interface is optimized for the resolution and clearly legible. Aug 03,16: When viewing a file via F3, the font size can be adapted dynamically using Ctrl+Mousewheel. Hitherto, the new font size was not displayed until the text was scrolled. The new font size will now be shown immediately. Jul 20,16: Upon user logout, CC is automatically closed and hitherto the recently used directory was not saved. Now the recent- ly used directory will be restored after starting CC in this case as well. May 27,16: The function "Settings / Launch File with..." contained the entry '*.K*' in the file filter. This caused KML files from Google Earth to inadvertently always be opened with CREDIT. With new installations this filter is set to '*.K'. With existing installations the entry has to be changed by the user. ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 29,16: Release of the new version 4.3 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Oct 30,15: Release of the new version 4.2 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Oct 16,15: The performance of the drop down list for navigation has been improved. ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 30,15: Release of the new version 4.1 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Nov 28,14: When extracting only marked files from an archive, some of the marked files were inadvertently skipped and not ex- tracted. This error has been rectified. ----------------------------------------------------------- Oct 20,14: Release of the new version 4.0 for download ----------------------------------------------------------- Oct 16,14: Archive files of types ZIP, ARJ and 7Z can now be opened like an ordinary folder. You can thus navigate within the folder structure of the archive and view or extract indivi- dual files. Apr 15,14: The sorting by file type was in some cases incorrect if the current folder contained some files without a file exten- sion. This error was corrected today. Sep 04,13: The context menu was entirely reworked and is now in line with the context menu of Windows Explorer. Some file icons in Windows Explorer are overlayed by small icons to show additonal information. These overlays are now available in CC as well. Feb 06,13: The menu "Commands" now offers the new items "Connect Net- work Drive" and "Disconnect Network Drive". Dec 21,12: In some cases a copy operation was not executed correctly and the backgroud program CCADMIN.EXE had to be cancelled via the Task Manager. This error was corrected today. Nov 19,12: After a time with few improvements now it was time for a comprehensive rework especially considering the require- ments of Windows 7: The menu structure was arranged more clearly. All the func- tion considering directories were moved from the "File" menu to the new menu entry "Directory". The new menu entry "Commands" contains common tasks. And the toolbar placed at the left of the directory window was reordered. All the file operations consider the User Account Control (UAC) introduced in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and query for administrator authorization if necessary. In addition all the file operations are started as indepen- dent processes. Hence during a long lasting copy you can go on working with CC. Via "Commands / Command Prompt..." the command line window will be opened starting at the current directory. Renaming a file now differentiates between upper and lower case file names. E.g. the file "Name.txt" can be renamed to "NAME.txt" which wasn't possible up to now. The status line is now exactly divided according to the windows above and shows further information about the cur- rent selection. When switching to the program panel all buttons have to be created new which took a considerably amount of time with multiple buttons. This process was speeded up. The performance of drag&drop was improved considerably. The functions "Edit / Write Protection..." and "Edit / Lower/Upper Case..." were removed. Aug 16,12: The sort order of the file names was resembled to the Win- dows Explorer. The search for the first file which matches the keyed in characters now considers the sort order of the file list. Aug 09,12: Within computer networks the CP programs will often be dis- tributed to the local workstations by centralized services. Subsequently the license has to be updated on every work- station via the command \BIN\CC_W.EXE "Password" /V The switch '/V' allows to check whether the license was suc- cessfully updated. If so, a file LIZENZ.OK will be created in the BIN folder. Feb 02,12: In the Setup process, the option to add "Open with CREDIT" to the Windows Explorer context menu was extended by adding an additional entry for CC to the context menu. This helps ensure that CC is always at your fingertips when in any di- rectory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Oct 31,11: Release and distribution of the new version 3.7 ----------------------------------------------------------- Mar 18,11: You can now go directly to a specific directory by using "File / Goto Folder..." (Shortcut Ctrl+G). ----------------------------------------------------------- Oct 26,10: Release and distribution of the new version 3.6 ----------------------------------------------------------- Oct 25,10: The directory view in CC on the left can initially display a specific directory and a file. This can be done by adding the argument /L="..." in the command line when launching CC. The dots indicate either a directory name (terminated with a backslash sign \) or a file name including its path. The directory view on the right can also display a directory / file name using the argument /R="...". Jan 11,10: Files greater than 4 GB are now also correctly displayed and copied in the CC directory window. Oct 23,09: The file searching functionality has been supplemented with a new option: the inclusion of directory names in the search process. Name masks and time options apply to both files and directories, whereas specifications regarding size and con- tents are not applicable to directories. Sep 03,09: The directory view provided in CC and in the File Open dialog has been enhanced. Until now, only a single view op- tion was available, which provided the opportunity to disp- lay the file list with grid lines. There are now a further three options available in a dialog reached via the "Opt- ions..." menu command in the context menu: access to files and directories on the Desktop (fill virtual folders), use of "friendly" file names (such as CD drive (F:) instead of F:\) and specification of file sizes in KB units. These options may help with adapting both the layout and the functionality to be more similar to Windows Explorer. Fol- ders that are not required for file management (such as tools, trash can etc.) still remain excluded from the view in our directory views. Aug 24,09: Eliminated bug in the directory comparison function: If the question "Retain emptied directories?" was replied with "No" directories containing files were also deleted. The question has now been fomulated more clearly and only the directories from which files were removed are deleted, i.e. directories which are completely empty. Aug 17,09: In our directory comparison, the previously available file operations have been supplemented by new operations which allow directory structures to be copied, moved or deleted. ----------------------------------------------------------- Jul 27,09: Release and distribution of the new version 3.5 ----------------------------------------------------------- Jul 14,08: In file directories it is possible to quickly find and sel- lect a sub-directory or file in a long list by typing the first characters of the name. This general mechanism has been supplemented by new functionality: if the characters entered start with a dot then file name extensions are searched for. Jun 23,08: In the File Open dialog it was hitherto possible to add in- dividual directories to the favorite list, thus allowing fast access to these directories. This group of favorite directories is now supplemented by a new set which appears at the very top of the list: these are the working directory and any directories created during the Setup process (such as the DAT directory). These new favorites can be selected in CC via the "Settings / Paths..." menu command. Jun 16,08: The directory comparison function has been equipped with a multitude of new options which affect not only the compar- ison results, but also help to confine the display to the most relevant elements. Furthermore, file operations can now be specified, thus enabling a directory synchronizat- ion to be prepared and carried out almost fully automati- cally. ----------------------------------------------------------- Aug 13,07: Release and distribution of the new version 2.8 ----------------------------------------------------------- Jul 19,07: Two files can be compared directly in CC via the menu com- mand "File / File Comparison...". Jul 17,07: With the new directory comparison function any two direct- ories can be shown in two side-by-side panels so that diff- erences in structure and content become clearly visible. Jun 12,07: Launching a program via a user-installed program button on the right hand program platform can now be controlled with further parameters. Jun 11,07: The File Filter dialog lists all the filters entered and preselects the most recently used filter. Jun 06,07: The application window is now compatible with multiple monitors. May 16,07: CC automatically recognizes the insertion or removal of ext- ernal drives (such as USB sticks). Feb 16,07: The list of project directories was replaced with a list of favorite directories, which can be customized. All recent project directories are migrated to this favorite list. Jan 26,07: The Find File dialog was thoroughly overhauled. The dialog size can now be changed. Aug 16,06: The internal zipper now processes folders and files with umlauts correctly. Directory and file names may now start with a dot as first character. ----------------------------------------------------------- Jul 31,06: Release and distribution of the new version 2.7 ----------------------------------------------------------- Jul 31,06: The file filter is now easier to control. If a file filter is set then the filter button will remain pressed and the current filter mask is displayed in the status line. Jul 19,06: When creating a new project directory it is now possible to copy all CAPLAN configuration files from an exisiting proj- ect directory. In this way CC provides the same project env- ironment as CAPLAN. Jul 17,06: Sometimes a directory could not be deleted in CC although th- ere appeared to be no obvious reason for this and access was not possible. The reason for this bug has been detected and eliminated (and will thus not happen any more). Jun 28,06: If you want to zip together a number of files with the name but different extensions, CC now suggests this name as the ZIP file name. Jun 20,06: Batch files (*.bat, *.cmd) initiated from program buttons will now be executed independently from the current directory. Aug 03,05: If errors occur whilst copying or moving files it is now possible to nevertheless continue the action for all the other files. ----------------------------------------------------------- Jul 18,05: Release and distribution of the new version 2.6 ----------------------------------------------------------- Jun 01,05: Support of ZIP archives is expanded. Now it is also possible to create ZIP archives. To do so, we replaced the old unzip programm PKUNZIP.EXE with 7ZA.EXE, an Open Source program. Long file names are processed correctly by 7ZA.EXE. If you would like to utilize the 7ZA zipper but have used an external unzipper until now you have to reset to "Internal zipper/unzipper" in the settings dialog accessible via the menu command "Settings / External Zipper/Unzipper...". Handling of network connections and shortcut files (.LNK) is much improved now. When exchanging the directories between left and right view the sort order of the directories and the file selection are now retained. May 19,05: From now on CC uses the user profile folder defined in setup as the first start up folder. To avoid access violations in write protected directories the temporary files created while printing are now located in the TEMP folder. Feb 17,05: All function calls from the "File" menu are now applied to the directory in the currently active view. Oct 21,04: A small proposal from the recent Intergeo exhibition was realized: The directory shown in the left panel can be seen in the right panel as well by just pressing a button. Oct 01,04: A further step was made to support similar functionality between CREDIT and CC: Now CC also uses the shortkeys Ctrl+Ins (Copy), Shift+Ins (Paste) and Shift+Del (Cut). Aug 06,04: The refresh mechanism for the CC directory view (with opt- ion Auto Refresh = on) was improved. The time period is now determined more flexibly so that in most circumstances the view regeneration will be considerably quicker. ----------------------------------------------------------- Jul 28,04: Release and distribution of the new version 2.5 ----------------------------------------------------------- Jun 22,04: All file lists are now sorted lexically. The German umlaut Ä will be internally converted to AE for ordering in the list. Jun 22,04: In a dialog box the mouse pointer was always automatically placed over the default button usually OK). This behaviour can now be modified via "Settings / Mouse Pointer...". Jan 24,04: The search funcionality was thoroughly improved and simpli- fied. As well as the global exchange of search texts and related options (e.g. case-sensitivity), updating is also much more effectively performed now. ----------------------------------------------------------- Dec 12,03: Release and distribution of the current version 2.4 ----------------------------------------------------------- Nov 29,03: The Task Window used as the platform to launch applications was redesigned and may encourage you to add your preferred applications. ----------------------------------------------------------- Aug 07,03: Release and distribution of the current version ----------------------------------------------------------- May 08,03: CC's directory view as well as the File Open Dialog were enriched with the function "New File" accessible via the context menu. Oct 26,02: CC remembers past navigation through the file directories. Previously visited directories can easily be revisited by pressing a new button which is added next to the well- known "Go up one directory level" button. Aug 07,02: Via "Edit / Upper and Lower Case" you can set the names of all selected files to upper or lower case. This function may be helpful if you have to utilize UNIX servers (e.g. on the Internet). ----------------------------------------------------------- Jun 05,02: Release and distribution of the current version ----------------------------------------------------------- Apr 08,02: The troublesome messages about a missing diskette in drive A:\ will never appear again. Mar 21,02: Removed bug: A short file name, such as "A.X", was not div- ided correctly (to support the grid display) and so "A.X" appeared in the name column and "X" was repeated in the extension column. Jan 07,02: Via "Edit / Write-Protection..." the Read-Only flag of all selected files can be set or removed. Bug fixed: A file named "Test..TXT" or "Test07.01.02.TXT" wasn't selected by the filter "*.TXT". The convention of long file names is now correctly applied. Sep 24,01: The toolbars located within CC's frame now adhere to the current (flat) style used in Cremer products. Aug 18,01: While copying sub folders into a network directory where these subfolders don't yet exist an unpleasant message showed up saying "file !)XYZ(!.TMP could not be created neither for read nor for write access". This test is now performed discreetly and no message is issued. Jul 19,01: Via the context menu command "File / Properties" you can now change the file's date and time. ----------------------------------------------------------- Jun 21,01: Release and distribution of the current version ----------------------------------------------------------- Jun 15,01: The platform used to start our surveying programs was rede- signed. The two main programs CREDIT and CAPLAN now occupy the first places, followed by the other survey programs. As the integration of our "old" surveying programs into CAPLAN progresses you will find more and more freely assignable pl- aces which can be utilized to launch favorite programs. Apr 02,01: We started to translate a full English version of CC which will be available in June 2001.
