Where is the version history ?

Post by ChrisAlba »

Good morning,
Where is the versions history for PDF-XChange viewer ?
I keep my PDF-XChange PRO viewer (portable) up-to-date through the excellent Liberkey automatic update system. Being curious, and because I would like to get the best out of it, I would very much like to know what the new features/fixes are (that would also make me more able to recommend the app, I'm a great fan of PDF-XChange viewer).

IMHO, a link in the help section or in the about screen could be a good thing.
Also, the link to the help file is disabled : is this because I'm using the portable version ? If so, it would be nice if the entry could point toward a web version of the help file, or a download of the file.

Keep up the good work!
Christine

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pdf-xc ... on+history

Yes, it is a reason. We are trying to make portable version so lite as possible.

I tried to open the help file, out of curiosity, for the first time, ... bug ... it opened in the new instance even though I have in the setting to allow only ONE instance of the viewer.

It is not a bug, it is a feature :mrgreen: Help file is opened in special mode and into new instance of the viewer.

Ok, I can understand that not everybody has a big USB key and a fast connexion and that you don't want to include the help file with the portable download . A link to a Web version of the help file or a link to a download location, in the help menu, would be a good substitute.
Anyway, where can I find it ? Are you going to ask me to google for it :lol: ? (actually i tried... without success)

And what about the help file ?
Do you really not want to tell me where I can get hold of it ?

Sorry. Please download it by this URL: http://www.docu-track.co.uk/PDFVManual.zip
And unzip this file into Help subfolder of your viewer's folder.

My funny thoughts on this:
There is a very active user on this forum which has put a link to the History of Changes in his signature.
When I want to go to the history page I look for posts from this user (not difficult to find). This is the quickest way for me to access that page :D

I guess I should have replied to this thread earlier. Maybe Ivan could add the link to his signature too.

I used Tiny URL as signature space is limited. Check out my review too.
