I’ve talked about the next major release for Killink CSV Editor for a long time now and I’m sure the one reader out there is wondering, “Where is Killink CSV Editor 2.0?”  Well, it’s coming.  Bet you didn’t see that one coming.  Seriously though, I am activity working on version 2.0 of my favorite csv editor.  Version 2.0 is basically a re-write of the previous version which is why it is taking so long to complete.  Unfortunately I can’t give a time frame for the release of version 2 but I’m hoping to have the first beta ready sometime soon.  Post a comment to this blog entry or send me an email if you are interested in beta testing Killink CSV Editor 2.0.

When something goes bad in SMTP Diagnostics or Killink CSV you should see the standard error report window (as shown below). By “bad” I mean some unexpected error has occurred within the program. Ideally you will never see the standard error report window but given the wide variety of computer systems, configurations, favors of Windows operating systems, and so on you just never know what will happen with the program is released out into the wild.

So what should you do if you see the standard error report window? The best thing you can do is click the Send button. This will send the error report to the White Peak Software tracking database and I receive an immediate alert. The information contained in the error report will help me trouble shoot the problem faster which means getting the fix completed sooner. You can also include additional notes with the error report by adding your comments to the “What were you doing when the problem happened?” text area.

Also, you can optionally include your email address. In doing so you will receive a return email with a case number and URL. This case number and URL allows you to follow the progress of the work to resolve the issue.

So if you ever see the standard error report window, and I hope you never do, please send the report. This will help make the program that much better.

Do you have a large amount of text to edit in a single cell? You can edit the text directly in the cell. You could edit the text in the editor line at the top of the edit windows. Both approaches work but it’s still a bit cumbersome when editing a large amount of text. The better approach is to use the Cell Editor window.

To access the Cell Editor window, select the cell to edit then press Ctrl+Enter. This will pop open the Cell Editor window. Or you can press the ellipsis button found at the end of the editor line. Once the Cell Editor window is open you can easily edit the text. You can resize the window making it easier to view and edit the text. And you can even turn on and off word wrapping.

I discovered a nasty little bug in the routine responsible for loading a file into Killink CSV.  If the file is formatted just right then an infinite loop occurs causing a memory leak and strange access violations.  Once I found the bug I was able to squash it.

Download Killink CSV 1.12 Build 180 for the fix.
