Xverb 1.1.0.500 — Iceland

The last release published here. From 1.1.0.500 on, releases live at https://github.com/xsm909/xverb/releases — a copy of 500 or later updates from there by itself. This build is here only so that installs of 497 and earlier find their way across.

What's new since 1.1.0.477

• Every page a plugin draws says which plugin, which version, and what changed
• A page keeps the keyboard after a window over it closes
• Only a workbook of several pages stands clear of the strip
• A sheet's status line stands clear of the strip, so its pill can be pressed
• A table has a face on the strip: the head of the sheet, drawn small
• A sheet keeps the widths it was given, and a view's sheet pages like a viewer's
• A sheet draws joined cells as one, marks notes, and keeps hidden what the file hides
• A sheet has a status line: where, what the cell says, and what the numbers come to
• A plugin hears what is done with its sheet: its own menu rows, the selection, Enter
• A sheet freezes rows and columns up to a cell, and hides columns
• A sheet has a menu: copy four ways, select, sort, find, fit, and say whether there is a header
• A sheet is sorted by a column, for looking, with the file left as it is
• A plugin's sheet is shown before it has been read, and its cells can be bold
• Up and down walk what a search found; a sheet lets the window show through
• A sheet is searched and copied: Ctrl+F through every row, Ctrl+C for a spreadsheet, Ctrl+Shift+C as JSON
• A plugin can hand over a sheet, a page of a workbook at a time
• A sheet is worked with the keys and the mouse: cells, rows, columns, ranges
• F3 on a CSV draws a sheet: headings, row numbers, every row there is
• A CSV of a million rows opens in 48 ms and counts itself in the background
• A sheet knows what is selected in it: cells, rows, columns, several at once

What's new since 1.1.0.461

• A first run offers Python and the everyday plugins, on the About card
• Iceland is the default appearance, the palette of the release's photograph
• Ukrainian
• A drawing has a face on the strip: SVG, EPS and PostScript thumbnails

• Finnish
• Norwegian, in Bokmål
• Simplified Chinese
• Italian
• No password on disk: the history and the remembered places write none
• Help → Plugins opens on Plugins, and Key bindings on the table of keys
• A file that is neither picture nor text shows how dense its bytes are
• F12 opens the folder history, off the same clock the pointer uses
• The offer to add a folder opens its place, and the rule under the pins fades
