Simidude 1.6.3 Release Notes

Today, I released version 1.6.3 of the Network Clipboard Simidude.
This one is a maintenance release – it mainly fixes a few bugs.

Simidude did crash on older Mac OS X versions because the new global shortcut handling on Mac depended on a library compiled for Snow Leopard. I fixed this so that crashes are no more (at least, not because of this).

I also updated the libraries that Simidude depends on on all platforms which probably also fixed a few bugs…

As always, you can download the updated Simidude here and I suggest you do- it’s free for everyone with a license.

Have a great day,

Torsten.

Simidude 1.6.2 Release Notes

Today, I’d like to cheerfully declare the release of Simidude version 1.6.2.

This one is a maintenance release that adds a few features and a critical bug fix.

There was one hard to grasp bug that some of you experienced when Simidude suddenly tried to suck all juice out of your computer’s CPU. I was finally able to reproduce the problem and eliminate the course. Well, that’s not to say that there aren’t other causes for this type of problem waiting to be released but, that one is gone…

New features:

• The Network Settings preference dialog has a new setting where you can enter IP addresses or network names that should be ignored when Simidude tries to find it’s own IP address. This is useful if you regularly switch networks and do not wish to change the hard wired IP address (“The machine’s IP address” field in the prefs) every time you change networks but you need to eliminate other network addresses that would pop up.
• The installer has been updated. The old installer sometimes left the Updater icon hanging in the Mac OS X Dock. This problem has been resolved for the most part. If you do experience problems please let me know.

As always, you can download the updated Simidude here and I suggest you do- it’s free for everyone with a license.

Have a great day,

Torsten.

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.

Feedburner sent out a pretty messed up news mail to my subscribers yesterday and I sincerely want to apologize.

The problem might have been that I changed the setting of posts in my RSS feeds. That might have caused Feedburner to reset it’s internal markers and make it misbehave.

So in the end, it’s my fault.

I hope the problem ist solved with this last message to you folks. I really value your interest in Simidude news and it was not my desire to jeopardize that.

So, have a great day, anyway.

Torsten.

PS: Please let me know if further problems exist.

Hi everybody,

this is a short notice to let you know I released version 1.5.0 of the Network Clipboard and Drag&Drop utility Simidude.

It took me a while to finish this version but I believe I did hunt down and kill some bugs and also introduced some features.

The release notes for this version can be found here.

You can download or buy Simidude here.

Have a great day,

Torsten.

During the last few days I got reports from two customers that said the virus scanner AVG reported Simidude as a trojan horse:

As reported by the install4j people these issues should be resolved by now. You might need to update your AVG virus database if you were hit by this:
