<li>Using the GUI preview while the indexing thread is running
|

will sometimes crash the GUI or provoke other
|

strangeness. This happens much more rarely than in 1.15.7,

but still occurs. Workaround if this happens too frequently:

use the standalone recollindex program instead of the GUI

thread.</li>

<li>When an open error occurs on an external index while

starting the GUI, the initial indexing dialog is started,

<li>1.15.8 fixes quite a few bugs (see

the <a href="BUGS.html#b_1_15_7">BUGS</a> file) and also
|
||||
breaks my promise to only fix bugs in minor releases because
|
||||
it also has a few small functional improvements (which
|
||||
actually border on the bug fix category):
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Searches now allow negative directory filtering (all
|
||||
results except from the specified directory). Other attempts
|
||||
at still impossible negative searches
|
||||
(ie: <span class="literal">-mime:</span>) now cause
|
||||
explicit errors messages instead of lame results. The
|
||||
inverted directory filtering is accessible from the query
|
||||
language and by checking a checkbox in the advanced
|
||||
search panel.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The GUI advanced search panel now allows specifying a
|
||||
field for each entry (ie: author/recipient, etc).</li>
|

.mhtm (other web archive format).</li>

<li>Result table:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>The detail area now has a popup menu similar
|
||||
to the one in the result list (open parent, save to disk
|
||||
etc.).</li>
|
||||
<li>Estimated result counts are displayed in the
|

status line.</li>
|

<li>Set row height according to default font size, and better

adjust row height and vertical text position in

||||
cells.</li>
