Aba 2.6 released
25 Dec 2023
This version adds the following features:
- complex replacements including converting the matching text to lowercase, inserting the file name, or adding width/height attributes to <img> tags (now you can use a simple scripting language in the replacements);
- a 64-bit version (if needed, you still can choose a 32-bit version during installation);
- a new hotkey: the left/right arrow key to quickly jump to the next/previous file (when the results pane is focused);
- the taskbar button now flashes when a long operation is complete;
- basic support for emojis (ZWJ sequences and skin tones are displayed as separate characters).
Just as always, the upgrade is free for the registered users; your settings and search history will be preserved when you run the installer.
If you have any suggestions for new features, please contact me. I will be happy to implement your ideas.
