[ANN] Version 2.1.6 of lcStackBrowser Released

[Peter Haworth]

I'm pleased to announce the release of version 2.1.6 of lcStackBrowser, a
replacement for the Livecode IDE Application and Project Browser.

This release is free to existing users.  A 30 day, fully featured trial
version is available at http://www.lcsql.com/lcstackbrowser.html

This release includes the enhancements detailed below.  The complete
release notes are available at http://www.fwd-to.com?0mt

SIMPLE CONTROLS PALETTE
The simple controls palette contains only one of each type of Livecode
object, thus taking up less screen space.  When you drag/drop or double
click a control in this palette, you'll be prompted for its style.

This palette is provided in addition to full controls palette already
available in lcStackBrowser.

CUSTOM PROPERTIES WITH BINARY CONTENT
lcStackBrowser will attempt to identify the type of data contained in
custom properties with binary content and display them with the appropriate
native application as defined on the users system.

Currently, PDF, MSOffice, Disk Image, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIF, MP3, MP4, WAV,
AIF, and MIDI content is recognized and you will be prompted for the
application to use for other binary data types.

TOOLSTRIP
A new toolstrip is available containing buttons for the commonly used
functions in the IDE Toolbar which are not implemented elsewhere in
lcStackBrowser

These include toggling the selectGroupedControls setting, grouping
controls/ungrouping groups, displaying the dictionary, and displaying the
message box.

The toolstrip occupies the same screen location as the current search
controls and a button is provided to switch between it and the search
controls.

With this new feature, you may wish to remove the IDE Toolbar to free up
screen space by deselecting Toolbar Text and Toolbar Icons in the IDE View
menu.

PLUGINS MANAGER
The Plugins Manager provides a way for you to organize your plugins into
logical groups using a new "Plugins" tab in the Preferences dialog.

The toolstrip includes a Plugins popup with the following options:

Your most frequently used plugins.

Your plugin groups with subitems for each plugin in a group.

An "Others" group with subitems for plugins not included in any user
specified plugin groups.

An option to refresh the plugins list, removing the need to quit/restart
Livecode when a new plugin is installed.

Options to configure when a plugin is loaded and its stack style.
