Version 1.4.0 of lcStackBrowser Released

[Peter Haworth]

I'm happy to announce the release of version 1.4.0 of lcStackBrowser, a
plugin alternative to the Livecode Application and Project Browsers. If you
haven't tried lcStackBrowser yet, there's a 30-day, fully functional demo
available here <http://www.lcsql.com/lcstackbrowser.html>. The full release
notes for this version are
here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gPK6EQ1qXxr_-g9zLkRDa7thmV62jW_5_ylgkpKAOAc/edit?usp=sharing>
.

Please note that lcStackbrowser will not run in the new Livecode 6.0
Community Edition since its stacks are password protected, a feature not
supported by the Community Edition.  Testing so far shows that it is
compatible with the Livecode 6.0 Commercial Edition.

Here's a list of some of the enhancements in this release.

CUSTOMIZE THE POPUP MENUS
You can already customize the font, text size and color and background
color of the display. Now you can customize the popup menus!  Organize them
to suit your work habits by including only the commands that you need,
putting them in your preferred order, even grouping them into submenus.

IDENTIFY CUSTOM CONTROLS
Configure them to have their own unique icon of your choice, and choose
whether you wish to include their components in the display.  You can even
search for them using lcStackBrowser's powerful search tool.

SEE WHAT YOUR CARDS AND CONTROLS LOOK LIKE
Shift-click on a card or control icon to see a full size snapshot of it in
a separate window.  Works for hidden objects too.

Rather see the text of a label or simple text field than it's name, and be
able to edit it without opening its inspector?  Just set the preference on
the General tab.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
Click the new Quick Reference option on the Tools menu for handy access to
information on keyboard shortcuts, drag and drop operations, mouse click
operations, and the syntax for lcStackBrowser's powerful search function.

SUPPORT FOR SHARED GROUPS
A new shared group icon distinguishes them visually from unshared groups.
Place shared groups from the card popup menu. Remove them from the control
popup menu. See any changes to them reflected in all instances of the
shared group in the display.

IMPROVED DRAG AND DROP OPERATIONS
Not new, just works more reliably. Relayer controls, move them in and out
of groups, move or copy objects.  The cursor changes when copying rather
than moving (thanks to Marty Knapp for the Plus cursor image).
