What's New

A brand new Glossary Viewer

Importing foreign files is now done in the Glossary Viewer. No more importer.

Compiling glossaries is now done in the Glossary Viewer too, via Tools->Enrich Glossary From Documents. We now use a third party open source java jar from Apache called Tika, to extract the text from documents. It is quite powerful and is able to handle quite a wide range of documents.

Multiple tabs similarly to a web browser.

You can change the font in which entries are displayed.

You can color your includes!

Different includes can be colored with different colors. Includes are now supported for all types of glossaries.

Mass dialogs enable you to mass delete, copy, or transfer entries.

You can define your own short form rules.

Interface changes

New menus.

We introduced new menus attached to the Linking and Docking indicators. They offer an alternative way to the Ctrl /L and Ctrl /D shorcuts, to toggle the linking and the docking. A G button was introduced for those who like to have the Glossary List as a combo on the title bar. Clicking this button opens the Glossary menu.

Glossary List:

No more limits on the size of the glossary list.

A new "Reorganize Glossary List" dialog enables you to open multiple glossaries in one shot.

New docking alignments.

New docking alignments were introduced, they give you more flexibility in automatically positioning Instant Text where you want.

Instant Text is now portable.

It now uses relative paths to store path information in the ini files and glossaries.

Moving your Instant Text installation to another disk or computer has never been easier.
You copy your Instant Text folder, and voilà, the transfer is done!
