A REALLY BIG update! All binaries on my GopherSpace have also been updated to the latest versions as well. *** What's new *** * Full Bookmark support! Bookmarks are saved into a local file in Gopher Menu format. So if you know the Gopher protocol, you can edit the bookmark file. * Support for many more GopherTypes, search, and binary. * Ability to save the image you are viewing to your local disk(Right-click menu). * Ability to download supported GopherTypes to local disk, Text/Image/Binary * You can now close previously opened GopherNodes in the tree view. * Updated icons, taken from the Emerald GPL iconset. * You can now resize the middle divider. * Many bug fixes and improved stability. I wouldn't recommend downloading uber large binary files on a slow connection as threading AKA a download manager which runs in the background isn't yet implemented, so downloads do hang the GUI. Attached is a screenshot from my Linux workstation, I tried to snapshot the right-click context menu in the tree view, but KSnapshot doesn't do that. Anyways, let me know what you think of this update and the project overall.
