BlogMatrix Sparks! 1.7.17-beta for Windows is available. Here's what's new/fixed:
Features:
- #364 Subscribing from OPML should select new subscription afterwards
- #366 New entries should be bold
This makes a huge difference in usability - #370 Clicking in Location Bar should select whole thing
- #373 Context Menu for Location Area
Try right clicking in the Location Area above the browser, particularly if you're reading a blog or a blgo entry. - #365 Better indicate current download or recording
The current download is now indicated with red text.
Bug Fixes:
- #367 When synchronizing, podcasts are being added to My Weblogs
- #374 Ensure "Automatically Download" is turned off
This shouldn't affect most people but if you're finding everything is downloading, this will help. Also try typing command:AutoDownloadClear in the search field. - #375 "Discovered" attachments should never be automatically downloaed
Sparks! not only recognizes "enclosure" attachments, it also looks for any media objects embedded in the text of the Podcast. This can only be explicitly downloaded with a right-click action.
