CD2HTML Title

History

Now somethink about the program history. You dont have to read this ;-).

CD2HTML v3.3

  • New look and feel because of using a tree view and a list view like the Windows Explorer. This causes also many internal changes and improvements and also the handling is easier.
  • Now for createing HTML files there is also a depth deeper than two levels possible (which was often wished). The maximum depth is now 99, which is limited by the file systems path lenght.
  • Exclude lists for files and directories. So you can exclude e.g. the thumbnail directory or description files from the search (they will be only not listed, but further used as description).
  • Support for the spain and polish language (there are now 9 languages supported).
  • Full support for MP3 files. Not only the ID3 tag is supported, now there are all MP3 informations available (like song duration, encoding, bitrate ...). The corresponding html tags are <$mp3original$>, <$mp3copyright$>, <$mp3samplerate$>, <$mp3durationmin$>, <$mp3durationsec$>, <$mp3mode$>, <$mp3layer$>, <$mp3version$> and <$mp3bitrate$>.
  • File descriptions for unknown filetypes will be written in a files.bbs if the file had no description yet. Write me if you have better ideas. Picture descriptions will be written in descript.ion's (so they are compatible to ACDSee) and directory informations in file_id.diz's.
  • Sometimes the thumbnails in HTML files where shown in a wrong size, this bug is now fixed.
  • Wrong filesizes greater 2 GB solved (now cd2html supports sizes up to 2^64 = 9.223.372.036.854.775.807 Bytes)
  • If you run cd2html from the windows temp path, all cd2html files (except cd2html.exe) where deleted (because [WINTEMP]\cd2html\ was also the temp path for cd2html which is always cleaned up when closing cd2html). This problem should be solved (the temp path for cd2html is now [WINTEMP]\cd2html~.tmp\, e.g. c:\windows\temp\cd2html~.tmp\).
  • <$root$> tag, which gives the name of the top directory in the search (the search root). It's a good replacement of the <$title$> tag.
  • The state images (the small images beside the list item captions) now shows if a description is available or not
  • I have removed the commandline options for sorting, because only one searchmode makes a sense which is now hardcoded. Also columnclicks doesn't change the alphabetical order out of the same reason.
  • Improved edit item dialog. Now you only see what you need, nothing else (which confuses sometimes).
  • In most cases the <$prevnextlist$> tag leaves the last page number off. This bug is fixed.
  • The prev|next buttons in EditHeadline will be now desabled at the beginning|end of the list.
  • The <$piccomment$> tag passed always the second line of a picture description.

CD2HTML v3.2

  • massive internal changes, so the program is much more stable (even with more than tenthousand files to scan), also the WinNT error message: "No More Internal File Identifiers Available" shouldn't any more to see
  • CD2HTML's own file format (.c2h) is now more 'stable' (but incompatible to the previous version). If you create pure html files (without thumbnails or icons) you don't need the described files any more; all informations (without pictures) are now hold in the .c2h files.
  • descriptions will now also be fiend for documents in the search root and they can be used also in the <$---tableheader---$> section
  • new help file
  • slightly improved html presets (more will follow)
  • naming of files in 'limited files per page' and 'multifile' mode improved (e.g. for the first mode the files will be named file_01.htm, file_02.htm instead file1.htm, file2.htm, in the multifile mode the files get names like system.htm for the directory named system)
  • a IE5 bug is passed round by changing the html header (if a picture is viewed out of a html document and you press the back button, the IE5 showed the directory list instead returning to the html file)
  • detection by file header for jpeg, gif, bmp
  • wrong size information for interlaced gif files solved
  • problem with the same thumbnail for pictures with a identical filename but different paths solved
  • the program handles UNC paths (network paths) like \\computername\directorie
  • on some older Win95/NT systems the buttons in the print preview where invisible
  • if the description text for an image was changed, the bbs/file_id was actualized, but not the StringList inside the program
  • thumbnail path and name prefix are now changeable
  • border and background for thumbnails can be switched off
  • OEM (DOS) conversion for 'descript.ion' and 'files.bbs' can be switched off
  • filte attributes for 'descript.ion' and 'files.bbs' can be switched to 'hidden'
  • sometimes it could happen, that the thumbnails in html files are always shown (not saved) in 150x150 pixels
  • the first line of a description (files.bbs, descript.ion or added by hand in cd2html) will now be used as ALT tag to describe an image (<$dpiclink$>, <$picture$> and <$picturelink$>) inside a html document (if no description is available, the filename of the image will be used)
  • the directory sizes where sometimes wrong (if you just searched for some filetypes, but there where also other filetypes in the given directory; CD2HTML added always the size of all files in a dir)
