Changes in this release:
#1135 Show Context Lines toggle This is a behavior change to an existing checkbox in the bottom panel of the main window: previously checking or unchecking Show context lines was only applied to the next search. Now, dnGrep will always cache the lines before and lines after, and you can toggle the context lines on and off using the Show context lines checkbox. If you never want to see context lines and do not want the overhead of caching them, set the lines before and lines after to zero. These same settings are also available in the Options dialog.
#1142 Use file as search input: Added a new feature where you can use a file to search for many patterns and generate one result set.
This works with regular expressions or text search. In the 'Search for' field enter the full path to a local input file with the file:// URL prefix like this:
file://C:\testFiles\issue1142\searchfor.txt
The input file is a plain text file. Put each search pattern or search text on a separate line in the file. Empty lines will be skipped, but no comments or other text are allowed. dnGrep will search each file with all of the search patterns and combine the matches found in the results.
#1142 Copy, Move, and Delete for files in archives: Added new options to choose what happens to files in archives on Copy, Move, and Delete commands. Previously when the user selects one of these commands, for a file in an archive dnGrep will Copy, Move, or Delete the entire archive. Those options are still available, but no longer the default options. For the Copy and Move commands, dnGrep will extract and copy the files with matches to the new location. For the Delete command, dnGrep will do nothing with the file or the archive.
Use the Options dialog to return to switch between this and the previous behavior. Note that dnGrep will extract files from archives, but it does not modify or rewrite archives.
#1144 Options dialog resizing: The Options dialog is now resizable, and the size and location of the dialog are saved for the next session.
#1145 Set input focus option: Added a new Option to choose where the input focus should go after running a search. In previous versions the focus would go to the results tree to navigate the tree with the arrow keys. The new option is to return focus to the Search for input field to accept a new search pattern. In the Options dialog, in the Search options section, look for 'After searching, set keyboard focus to'.
