What's new in Modern CSV 2.0.7

Apr 23, 2024
  • BUG FIXES:
  • Fixed navigation keys not working when a new file is pulled up.
  • Fixed shift selecting working only intermittently.
  • Fixed an issue with the config file where in rare cases, it could cause it to stall on startup.
  • When reloading a large file via that command launcher or menu, ensured that the table doesn’t render which can sometimes cause a crash. It was previously fixed only for reloading from the File Metadata pane.

New in Modern CSV 2.0.6 (Apr 19, 2024)

  • USABILITY:
  • Improved trackpad handling, especially on Mac. Simplified the interface so only shift causes horizontal scrolling.
  • Added tool tips to the file tabs to show the full file path.
  • BUG FIXES:
  • Find/Replace: Fixed a crash when doing a Find in some circumstances.
  • Find/Replace: Fixed a bug when doing a Find when filters are on or rows/columns are hidden.
  • Find/Replace: When the table’s been transposed, Highlight Matches and Preview Replace was highlighting the wrong cells.
  • Unique Values: Applied the Case-Sensitive Sorting setting when sorting the values column.
  • Unique Values: Fixed filters so they work when a cell starts or ends with a space character.
  • Mac and Linux: In Unique Values, fixed the filter buttons being squashed together.
  • Fixed the Join commands in the case where the last cells they’re joining are empty. Before, it was not leaving separators for those cells.
  • Fixed a sorting issue when sorting numbers mixed with “nan” strings.
  • Hid table rendering while it reloads a large file just like when it loads it fresh.
  • PERFORMANCE:
  • Changed the name of the Edit Preferences command to Preferences.
  • Mac: The Preferences command now appears in the Modern CSV menu rather than the Preferences menu.

New in Modern CSV 2.0.5 (Apr 19, 2024)

  • BUG FIXES:
  • File Metadata Pane: In large files (>24 MB), fixed the **Load Parameters** fields so they’re not disabled.
  • Fixed Select From Main Cell To …. It was selecting entire rows or columns in some cases where it should not. Also, fixed where it was sometimes highlighting the wrong range as the user typed.
  • Blocked some messages from printing to the console unnecessarily.

New in Modern CSV 2.0.4 (Oct 18, 2023)

  • Changed the default keyboard shortcut for Switch to Tab 10 from alt+10 (or cmd+10 on Mac) to alt+0 (or cmd+0 on Mac).
  • MISC:
  • Changed the name of the Edit Preferences command to Preferences.
  • Mac: The Preferences command now appears in the Modern CSV menu rather than the Preferences menu

  • When a new file was created and saved, the tab bar now shows it as saved.
