(InfoSnapV8) - Beta 5k - continuing a major overhaul

Hi friends,

The first part of face-lifting (B5j) disturbed the mud and several issues which surfaced the daylight
have been adressed in the B5k update. Consider it a must if you have B5j.

Other fun stuff in short goes here:

Beta Update 5k -- 26 July 2003
-------------------------------------------

- Added 'Swap fonts' setting to the right-click menu in InfoSnap popup.

- Improved 'Single Bump'-feature: it will now respect 'Dbl.bump left/right/bottom edge' settings
and use them when deciding whether to nuke InfoSnap popup on single bump or not.

- Added a new variable: INFOSNAP_TEXTEDITOR. If defined it should contain the name of the applet you
want to use for editing the DoubleBump settings file. If not defined, it will default to NOTEPAD
applet.

- Added 'Level Slot' (i.e. internal level id) to toggles compatible with AccuSnap balloon.

- Added a bunch of keyins (yes, really!)

- Fixed bug causing incorrect file type being reported in MicroStation's main title bar. InfoSnap
reported original file format, not the current one (discovered first by Chuck Rheault). Now it will
report both formats.

- Fixed bug making reusing of 'ByLevel' and 'ByCell' element attributes impossible (discovered first by
Jeffrey Malter). Reporting of 'ByLevel' and 'ByCell' in AccuSnap balloon is improved as well.

- Changed: color, weight and style are no longer reported for Cell Headers (this should lessen the
confusion about those somehow meaningless 0-values in cell headers).

- Fixed bug which made AccuSnap balloon output dependent on whether a particular toggle was shown in
main InfoSnap popup (i.e. the old, pre-B4j hierarchical dependency of those settings was erroneously
maintained in B5j).

- Fixed bug introduced in B5j -- if sort order of toggles in InfoSnap popup has been changed, controlling
their on/off status in Toggles list became unreliable after a while. Sorry for this mishap.

- If SYNCHBYLEVEL Select enhancement is installed, there will be a warning written to Message Center
each time SYNCHBYLEVEL circumvents snatching data from the InfoSnap popup. If you don't want SYNCHBYLEVEL
to interfere with InfoSnap, make sure that you have the Level Name and Number being defined AFTER the Color,
Weight and Style in InfoSnap Toggles tab (only then they take precedence over all SYNCHBYLEVEL overrides).

- Updated help files again

(You can tell I have vacations, no?)


Consider this update being the Release Candidate for InfoSnapV8 1.0

PS: Big thanks to Jeffrey Malter who played the role of crash test dummy during last few days
and whose incredibly well written and well structured test reports made this update being so
extensive and successfully completed during very short period of time.
