|
New in this release:
* Added a third list highlight style "Gradient" for those who like color schemes that don't work well with the "Glass" highlight algorithm.
* Added the ability to disable automatic article grouping per Workgroup.
* Added per Workgroup article grouping threshold override.
* Adjusted scaling of Queue quick filter edit box to reduce the scaling factor when standard DPI is used.
* Changed the way the Queue toolbars "shrink" to wrap rather than use the chevron popup menu.
* Added saving of selected groups when using the "Get new headers for multiple..." dialog.
* Fixed a bug that occured when performing a "Finalize Job" and MS-SQL Server is the current database engine.
* Added a new command-line option to pass the path where you want NMP to store instance-specific data and configuration settings: -ini:<path>
* Added .snn and .tnn files to post processing cleanup to backup folder.
* Fixed a bug that caused the selected items to be reset when using drag-select and the right mouse button was clicked.
* Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when changing the priority of queued jobs while the queue was active.
* Added a date check when getting new headers and the news server starts returning old headers.
* Added confirmation dialog when closing the New Message window if changes have been made.
* Added save/restore of last used settings in regex subfolder generator.

I like the new connections fuel bar, but after messing with some of the themes, the workpane headers are all stuck on orange text on a grey background, which is very painful on the eyes. Is there any way to change it?

What theme are you using? If you select a different theme and restart do the colors change?

| Ahh, that's better. Although the theme loads as soon as you select it and click okay in the settings window, it seems that NMP needs to be restarted to get those window headings back to normal. Thank you! |

| Deleting a queued item in the Message workspace does not always dequeue the item. It seems to happen only if you have just accidently queued the item, and then immediately delete it while the queueing activity icon is still visible. At this point you will not get the message box saying something like "do you want to delete queued items". I think this has been like this for a while. |

Oh it's always done that. I think you can't dequeue something that isn't in the queue, and the the queueing process running in the background will still queue it up after your dequeue command is finished.
You can test it by queuing up something big, and in the middle of it try and dequeue the whole lot. The first half that's already in the queue will be dequeued. The second half will queue up directly afterwards as the queue process is still running. |

In the connection pane - it's the bar that goes up as data comes down for each connection - it's now got a 3D look about it. |
