Hotfixes: IDM's User-Driven Development Model in Action |
|
What is a Hotfix?
For those of you who have not heard the term, a hotfix is simply an updated .exe that includes the latest
code modifications based on customer feedback. Modifications range from bug fixes to simple things such as dialog
changes or default setting changes. A hotfix doesn't require a full installation, it is a type of patch that can be
quickly applied to your installation. You simply download the hotfix and place the updated files in the directory in which
you installed the product.
For more information, Click here to view
the "how to install a hotfix" power tip.
Why Do Users Like Hotfixes?
A hotfix provides users real-time access to resolved issues prior to an official release. This is especially
beneficial to those
who have reported an issue as they likely have an operational need for the fix to accommodate a specific task.
For others, accessing a hotfix may not offer any benefit.
You can review the items contained in a hotfix, prior to downloading it, to determine if
you would benefit from one or more items contained in the hotfix. Although the fixes are not official they are
generally embraced by most users as highly beneficial. You can click any of the links
below to view the most current development path for your product. | |

Keep the Feedback Coming...
Your feedback is what makes the difference. It is the means by which we learn how we can improve
the performance and functionality of new and existing features. It is
also the mechanism that drives our development considerations. In fact, should you download a
hotfix and discover something we could improve upon, please report it to us at support@idmcomp.com. Your voice is
welcome and always heard.

UltraEdit.com Goes International....

In response to requests from our international community, we have localized
the home page of UltraEdit.com and the product home pages for each IDM product.
You can easily find the localized pages for all supported localizations in a
block on the upper right hand corner of www.ultraedit.com.
As part of our ongoing international community efforts, we plan to further localize
other relevant content as
time and resources permit. We hope you enjoy the localized pages. |

Maximizing Your TaskMatch™ Environments...
Create Your own TaskMatch™ Environment!
|
|
 Learn More |
TaskMatch™ Environments are a fantastic feature because they allow you to switch between
a group of configuration/options in a simple click rather than configuring
the items
individually. The default Environments are pre-configured to provide you
with the tools you need for your specific task, and of course they are fully
customizable.
But... What happens if you want an Environment of your own making? Simple... Create your
own!
TaskMatch Environments are easy to create... Learn how. |

Managing your Files Has Never Been Easier...
Leverage the Power of Projects...
|
|
 Learn More |
What is a project? Projects are a convenient, time-saving, feature that allow you to group and manage
associated files.
Consider you are working on a website and need to group all the website
files together, or work daily with a common set of files, Projects make it
easy to group these files together instead of searching through Explorer to
find/open them...
What's more, Projects are integrated throughout the framework of UltraEdit/UEStudio making it easier to perform
other actions on your project files such as replace in all project files. |

Getting the Most out of the Explorer Tree View
Filtering the View and Creating File Groups...
|
|
 Learn More |
The File Tree View is a feature that many of us take for granted in our
daily use of UE/UES. It lists the files and directories in a tree type
format. If you have a lot of files and directories, the list can quickly
become overwhelming - this is where filters come into play.
Not only can you filter the results of the explorer tree
view, but did you also know you can define your own file groups for quickly
filtering on the file types you use most?

Bookmark your Favorite Files and Folders...
|
|
 Learn More |
Have you ever thought to yourself, there has to be a better way to access this
file/folder that I compare all the time? Well... there is, with Favorites.
Favorites are a convenient way to "bookmark" your most commonly used files and directories.
You can use Favorites to save both file and directory paths, and quickly
retrieve them for your daily compare and merge operations. |
