It has come to my attention that within the last 24 hours the McAfee virus scanner is reporting that Killink CSV contains the Trojan Backdoor-CEP. I have triple checked the program files and there is no virus or trojan in the Killink CSV program available from the White Peak Software web site.
I am slowly but surely making progress on version 2 of Killink CSV Editor. I’m focusing most of my attention right now on huge (aka, very large) file support. You know, files greater than 1GB. My goal is to support up to 4GB file sizes under the 32-bit version of Windows XP and Vista. However, a major challenge is how to handle sorting. Image opening a very large file, say 3GB, highlighting columns B, D, and G, and sorting on all three columns. With what will most likely be millions and millions of rows in the file, sorting is going to be a little slow, so I need to really ramp up the sort algorithm to ensure descent performance. And I need to make sure memory usage is low at the same time. Definitely fun challenges to tackle with version 2.
Even though Killink CSV Editor version 1.13 is only a few hours old, I decided to squeeze in one more new feature resulting in the release of Killink CSV Editor version 1.14. As always, this is a minor update and is a FREE update for all licensed users.
I made a somewhat embarrassing mistake. I forgot to post version 1.13 of Killink CSV Editor. I’ve been working on version 2 and between that and other things my mind has been elsewhere. Still no excuse for not getting this version out sooner especially considering that it contains the bug fix for the find and replace feature. I sincerely apologize to the Killink CSV users out there for this delay.
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.
I just received word from Apple that Labor Mate version 1.1 is now available for purchase in the iPhone App Store. I’m sure it will take a bit longer to propagate but existing users should be getting update notices soon.
First let me say “Arghhhhh!” Okay, that helped a little.
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.
Just want to say thank you to the new customers and Bits du Jour for making today’s Killink CSV a success. And special thanks to Kelly and Charlie for posting feedback on the Bits du Jour web site.
