Alpha version 0.8.113 is ready!

Link: http://www.zoundry.com/raven/builds/zRaven-0.8.113.exe

Release Notes

Enhancements

• When creating a new media storage, it will now be automatically associated with any blogs that are not already mapped to a storage.
• Added a right-click context menu item for "Image Properties" when right-clicking on an image in the editor.
• Added double-click support for images in the editor - double clicking an image will now open the Image Properties dialog.
• Importing Zoundry Blog Writer 1.0 profiles into Raven will now import the user's personal dictionary (currently only works for US English).
• Added some meta data to the index (last 'synch' time) which allows us to figure out if a blog post is dirty - so now in the Blog Posts List View, you will see a different icon for blog posts that are dirty (only applicable to published content, obviously).
• Implemented the "View (online)" toolbar button in the editor.
• Modified how the main window's views' drop shadows were being drawn to make them faster and less prone to paint problems.
• Implemented Insert Image Tag in the editor (toolbar item).
• Find/Replace dialog now remembers the recent searches.
• Added a shortcut key (Alt-T) that will position the cursor in the editor's "Title" field.
• Better initial focus when an editor opens - focus is now put in the Title if the post doesn't already have one (new posts, typically) otherwise it is put in the content.
• Added a Feedback dialog - go to Help->Feedback to either 1) report a bug, 2) request an enhancement, or 3) tell us how awesome we are.
• Added "New Blog Post" option in the Tray Icon's right-click context menu.
• If you only have a single Blog, the editor will now always pre-populate the blog selection for you, rather than leaving it blank and making you select it each time.
• Implemented crash-recovery support. Snapshots of your content are now taken every minute as long as you have a dirty editor open. Then, if the application crashes or is terminated, those snapshots can be recovered on the next startup of the app.
• Included a new program/application icon for Raven.
• Implemented the Font Options toolbar item in the editor.
• Re-ordered publishing tabs so that Categories (the most frequently used one) is shown first.

Bug Fixes

• When a blog post is deleted, the toolbar no longer remembers it - a new post is selected, if there is one, otherwise an empty selection is made.
• Drag and Drop an image from a web browse should now be working better. There may still be some lingering width/height problems.
• Publishing a document using the Publish toolbar item in the main application window (not the editor) now works properly in all cases (there was a problem where old content would get remembered and published, whacking new edits).
• Removed the "Test Settings" option from certain types of media storage (such as Image Shack) since some storage types don't support delete.
• Editor toolbar now properly refreshes when content is saved (e.g. the 'View online' button will now become active automatically when a blog post is published).
• Fixed a problem with image sizes not being updated properly when (re)thumbnailing.
• Fixed a problem with a border getting added to an image incorrectly when modifying image properties.
• Fixed a problem where restoration of dialog settings (size and position) could sometimes cause a dialog to be positioned off-screen.
• When the cursor is in the Tagwords field, hitting Tab will now move the focus to the content.

Known Bugs

• Standard Perspective - Blog Post preview sometimes steals the focus from other controls
