What is new?

1. ?«Component Palette enhancements?»
The expert integrates into component palette menu and enables to change the palette external view (multi-linesness, type of bookmarks), and to work with bookmarks in addition. The following functions are added:
?· transition from the menu to a required bookmark (active bookmark installation);
?· assigning a default bookmark and transition to it through the hotkey combination;
?· fast transition to the first and the last palette bookmarks through the hotkey combination;
?· assigning favorite bookmarks and working with the list of them;

2. ?«Code Explorer enhancements?»

The main expert function is an opportunity of fats loading in IDE of one of the units listed in the ?«Uses?» explorer section. To perform this, an ???Open unit??? item is added to the observer menu. Depending on settings the unit can be opened with double-click on the required unit, holding the Control key during this - as a variant.

The expert can modify appearance of the code observer a little by substituting different pictograms for denotation of its units opening. Besides, the expert can correct the incorrect positioning of the vertical scrollbar and focus transferring on selecting the bottom elements from the observer list.


3. ?«Manager of favorites?»
Enables to create files/directories lists for their fast opening. The lists can be enlarged with the current units, opened in the code editor, or via the standard browsing in the tree of disc files and directories. Functions of units adding and opening are accessible from main FastExperts menu

There exists a special manager window with expanded functions set as well:
?· files/directories opening (directories opening = files selecting and loading from the open directory);
?· files/directories adding to ???favorites???;
?· paths to files/directories editing and saving in ???favorites???;
?· files/directories deleting from ???favorites???;
?· files/directories order allocation modifying in the list;
?· direct and reverse sorting of the files/directories list alphabetically;
?· the general ???favorites??? list export/import to the text file;

Modified experts
1. New opportunities of the ?«Manager of the open windows?»
Alongside with the list of all forms opened in IDE, the expert adds one more list to the object inspector ??? the list of al existing project forms. The form selecting from the list enables to load it in IDE just from the object inspector without addressing to the other instruments help.

2. New opportunities of the ?«Code Editor enhancements?»
In the 4-th and 5-th Delphi/C++Builder versions there appeared an opportunity of adding the list of opened pages (bookmarks), which presents in previous product versions by default, to the editor local menu.

3. Additional functionality of the ?«Components manager?»
Now the manager can quickly select all non-visual components (convenient in group dragging or general properties assignment).
Also there appeared an opportunity of binding (positioning) modifying of non-visual components on the form sizes changing.

The expert can integrate into the form or frame designer menu. Now this function can be disabled because collisions with the set earlier, indirect experts, using the same integration, are possible. Also one can observe several collisions while working with frames in the Delphi. Tat is why all expert functionality operates only via the FastExperts main menu, which modifies its state depending on the current active IDE object, dynamically.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
