Hazel modification history:
1.0 First major release
----------------------------------------------------------
1.1 Provides an Index dialog box which allows entries to be selected
quickly.
Some documentation, both on-line and external, has been updated.
I also did some internal work, but these changes should not be
visible.
----------------------------------------------------------
1.1a Fixed inconsistent find behavior when "All fields" selected.
----------------------------------------------------------
1.1b Fixed problem with Index/Find buttons remaining disabled when
Index box is dismissed and a save Save is executed.
Made first phone number (if present) default number to dial in
Dialer dialog (at request of user).
----------------------------------------------------------
1.2 *VERY IMPORTANT* The Hazel file formats had to be changed as a
result of some of the enhancements outlined below. A program
"11TO12.EXE" is provided to convert both Hazel address book files
and your user preferences file to the new format. You *must* be
a registered user to use this program; your personalized disk
serves as a "key" to allow use of "11TO12.EXE". Hazel 1.2 will
alert you if you attempt to access un-converted pre-v1.2 files.
Added "Save Window Positions" option to Edit menu. This allows
customization of the main, index, entry, dial, and find window
positions. To use this feature, bring up all the desired windows,
position them to your liking, then select Save Window Positions.
The main, index, and entry windows will be brought up in the
saved positions when Hazel is started. The find and dial
windows will be brought up every time in the saved positions.
Added Day-Timers(R) vertical offset selection to User Preferences,
since some users were having minor problems with print alignment.
Added alternate dial prefix to User Preferences. Prefixing a
phone number with "@" selects the alternate dial prefix (The "@"
isn't printed when the printing options are used nor is it
exported). The "@" prefix works for phone numbers associated
with an address book entry AND for numbers typed manually into
the Dialer.
Added Remove field to User Preferences. This field specifies the
prefix that should stripped from phone numbers in the Dialer (for
example, "1-504-" might be specified to ensure that calls local to the
504 area code are dialed without the "1-504-" prefix).
Added Entry Dialog and Index Dialog checkboxes to User Preferences to
allow selection of the dialogs which automatically pop up when an
address book is opened. Both are checked by default.
Added a Modem Delay field to User Preferences. If Hazel doesn't
report "No response was received from the modem after a command
was issued" when you attempt to dial, you can ignore this field.
If you do get this message when you attempt to dial, try increasing
the number until the problem goes away. This field was added to
assist Hazel users with older modems, which sometimes process
commands more slowly. Make the value only as large as
necessary to eliminate your dialing problem.
Added Dial and ClipBd buttons to Index dialog. Dial brings up the
dialer without going through the Entry dialog and ClipBd pastes the
current entry to the clipboard. Double-clicking on an entry still
brings up the complete entry in the Entry dialog, as does clicking
the Select button.
Added ClipBd button to Entry dialog to allow pasting to the clipboard
directly from the Entry dialog.
Added support for up to six phone numbers. Phone numbers 3-6 are
accessed through a spin field to save screen space. The Dialer has
access to all six numbers.
Added a Country field to the Entry dialog.
The Find and Index dialogs can now both be popped up simultaneously.
The main Hazel window may now be raised above the Entry and Index
dialogs.
Import/Export now allows the field positions to be specified via spin
buttons.
Added Dup(licate) button to the Entry dialog to duplicate the current
entry. [Note: Hazel tracks its own registered users, and this makes
keeping "equivalent" information for all registered users much easier!]
Added "Find All" button to Find dialog. This allows all entries
matching a particular string to be tagged. "Tag Matches" is
assumed when "Find All" is used. (Example: A Hazel user
places $MAIL$ in the Comment field for each entry in a mailing
list. Using Find All on "$MAIL$" allows all these entries to be
tagged quickly for envelope printing, etc. Find All does not pause
between matches as a combination of Find and Find Next would.
Accelerator keys added for toggling the Entry and Index
dialogs and tagging/un-tagging all entries. The accelerator
keys are F2, F3, F4, F5 and function only when the main Hazel
window has the focus. [Note that these keys also provide an easy
way to bring the Index or Entry dialogs to the front if they become
buried under other windows].
If no changes are made to an address book, the index file is not
rebuilt on exit. This change is particularly important for Hazel
users with large address books (one user regularly uses a 1500+ entry
one); exiting Hazel should be much faster now when no changes
have been made to the open address book.
Hazel 1.1b's dialer would refuse to dial phone numbers if you
imbedded commas (as in 9,1-555-1212) directly into the phone number
fields as opposed to including them in the dial prefix only.
This has been corrected.
Envelope printing has been significantly improved; specification of
a "10" form via the Job Properties dialog is no longer necessary, as
an envelope-sized "image" will be printed on whatever form is
selected. The Job Properties dialog is no longer displayed when
printing envelopes. Return and TO: address placement can still be
adjusted in User Preferences.
Fonts may now be selected for both the return and TO: addresses for
envelopes.
The Job Properties dialog is no longer displayed when Day-Timers(R)
are printed. Make sure that a Letter-sized form is the default
form for the default printer.
The font for Day-Timers may now be set independently of the Job
Properties dialog (many printers did not even allow selection of
fonts from the Job Properties dialog, anyway. Mine does, but users
indicated that most don't). The Job Properties dialog is no longer
displayed when Day-Timers are printed.
Reworking of the index dialog fill routine has yielded faster
index box reloading during delete, add, etc. operations.
The index box now displays blank lines for entries with no first,
last, or organization names.
A non-Day-Timers print facility has been added. The fields you wish
to print may be selected via a dialog after a Print Entries command
has been issued.
The Comment field now has scrollbars.
Bug fix: In 1.1b, when the Index dialog was open and the last
entry in an address book was deleted, the item was not deleted
from the Index listbox; selection of this "ghost" item would
cause Hazel to exit. The Index dialog now works correctly.
Bug fix: In 1.1b, attemping to Tag All or UnTag All entries when
there were no entries remaining in the address book caused Hazel
to exit. This problem has been corrected.
Bug fix: Corrected temporary filename selection problem.
Bug fix: Corrected a problem with redial of long-distance numbers.
Bug fix: Hazel would sometimes hang the message queue if it was
shut down improperly (for example, just killing the Hazel process).
Since this isn't a good way to close Hazel, I don't think this bug
bothered too many people, but it should be fixed now anyway.
An annoying registration reminder has been added. The
registration reminder remains up while Hazel is running. All
of the Hazel windows may be raised above this dialog, but
executing menu commands from the main Hazel window causes it
to be raised from the bottom of the window stack if you've
"buried" it. The registration reminder dialog can be dragged
off screen, but will return next time you execute Hazel. I
realize it's a pain, and that's the idea. You'll be able to
use Hazel to determine if it suits your needs, and if it does,
register! As far as I can tell, the number of users of Hazel
far exceeds the number of registered users; I need registered
users to continue development at a reasonable pace, and
registering is the *honest* thing to do if you're going to
continue using Hazel.
