TextStudio 0.0.712 Changelog

2007-10-28: Lots of code cleanup with performance gains and reduced size of textstudio.exe. Bug fixes and interface improvements, too.

Opening Files

New parser to get paths from strings:
- Supports more delimiting conventions.
- More lenient with what it accepts.
- Returns the number of valid paths.
New subprocedure to manage updating the interface afterwards:
- Updates menus and toolbars.
- Simpler status bar text which still gives useful detail.
Applied to:
- Command line.

Drag and drop:
- Files will now be opened when dropped on more places:
  - Toolbar.
  - Sidebar.

- All currently unsaved files via SaveAllFiles().
Applied to:
