Finally!

Today I’m excited to release a new version of Simidude with some cool new features.

• BIG NEW FEATURE: Well at least I’m excited about this one. The Simidude hotkey support is now available across all supported platforms (Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), Mac (32-bit) and Linux (32-bit and 64-bit)). That means on all platforms you can now use a global hotkey to make the Simidude window and you can use a hotkey to paste the latest Simidude entry (basically “Activate Item” and “CTRL-V” combined). To enable global hotkey support on Mac systems I started an open source project that does just that.
• The Simidude tray menu now hold a menu entry “Toggle Clipboard Monitoring”- you can use that to switch clipboard monitoring on or off without the need to navigate to the main window.
• I upgraded the Simidude installer which does a better job now integrating with the operating system, especially on Non-Windows systems.
• Fixing minor bugs.

As always, Simidude is available from our download page at http://www.agynamix.de/products/simidude/download/.

Enjoy,

Hi everybody!

I finally released version 1.5.1 of Simidude. This is mainly a bug fix version that improves upon version 1.5.0:

• Bug Fix: I tried to improve the way Simidude finds its own IP address.
• Bug Fix: Some people experienced creashes on older versions of Ubuntu
• Bug Fix: Some people experienced crashes when a hard coded network address was not available in the current network.
• Feature: I updated the used UI libraries to their respective latest versions. This might bring some improvements especially on Mac and Linux platforms.

This version is recommended for all users.

As always if you have any feature requests please let me know- loud and clear.

Hurray, great news!

I finally released version 1.5.0 of Simidude. This version fixed some important any annoying bugs and provides a few new features:

• Bug Fix: Circling Clipboard Items: There where circumstances when a clipboard item was sent back and forth between connected clients.
• Bug Fix: Wrong Sort Order of Clipboard Items: Sometimes clipboard items where inserted at the right position in the item list.
• Bug Fix: Fixed Drag&Drop on Mac: There where problems using Drag&Drop on Mac systems.
• Bug Fix: Runs on Ubuntu 09.10: Using new libraries problems while using Simidude on new Linux/Ubuntu have been resolved.
• Bug Fix: Sometimes Simidude crashed right after the start if the computer’s clipboard held certain data.
• Feature: Preference Setting to manually overwrite a clients IP address: You can enter a specific IP address in the network preferences if you want to force Simidude to that address and not auto detect the most probable primary IP address.
• Feature: You can now select which Clipboard items are being monitored: You can now enable/disable the monitoring of Text/Image or File items. That way you can for instance disable the monitoring of images copied to the clipboard when you only care for Text / Files.
• Feature: Network Analysis Dialog: In the Help menu there is now a “Network Analysis” dialog that shows information about connected clients and a connection history of received data (only statistical data). The Network Analysis report is appended to the Bug Report that can be sent from inside Simidude and is a useful debugging aid in case of connection trouble.

This version is recommended for all users.

As always if you have any feature requests please let me know- loud and clear.

These are the release notes for version 1.4.0 of the cross platform network clipboard Simidude.

Version 1.4.0 adds quite a list of new features that will make your use of Simidude more effective and fun:

• Feature: Simidude on Windows (32-bit) and Linux now supports global hotkeys to bring the application to front or to activate the latest Simidude entry into the clipboard. On Windows (32-bit) it does not just activate the latest entry but will actually paste the entry into the active application.
• Feature: You can now enable an option to show a balloon tooltip near the tray icon whenever a new entry arrives in Simidude.
• Feature: You can now enable an option to automatically activate a new arriving Simidude entry. Please note that the entry is only activated when it is inserted top of the list of entries.
• Feature: Another new option is to let Simidude automatically download remote files or directories.
• Feature: The user manual is now included with each Simidude distribution.
• Feature: When an item arrives in Simidude for a second time, the item is moved from it’s current position in the list to the top. That makes it much easier to refind entries if the list is long.

This version is recommended for all users.

As always if you have any feature requests please let me know- loud and clear.

These are the release notes for version 1.3.3 of the cross platform network clipboard Simidude.

I published version 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 earlier this week but had to pull it back due to a problem with the installer.

Version 1.3.3 is a maintenance release that fixed some bugs and brought a few new features:

• Fix: Simidude saves the active clipboard entry to disk so that after a restart of your computer that item can be reloaded and will immediately be available to your system. That mechanism was broken and has now been fixed.
• Fix: Simidude caches files and directories that are transfered between computers into a special cache directory. That directories are removed when the application exits normally. In case of a crash that cache directories remain and will not be removed in the future. That has now been fixed. Cache directories that have no reference to a Simidude item will now be deleted.
• Fix: Simidude crashed when you tried to access it through a browser but where using the server port, not the designated http port. That has been fixed.
• Fix: In some circumstances the written logfile could get huge. Writing of logfile entries has been limited to Error messages and a bug has been fixed that let log files grow endlessly. The Simidude logfile is contained in c:\Users\\.Simidude (Windows Vista and 7). It’s surprisingly called simidude.log.
• Fix: I added an installer option to delete old application libraries from Simidude’s lib dir. That did not workon all platforms.
• Feature: The title bar of the Simidude window now shows the URL you can use with a browser to access it’s entries- if http access is enabled.

This version is recommended for all users.
