again...
 
 
the core is the outline control.   If you've got that down,  the future is open!
 
 
Outline is being used to help people thing things out & keep things ordered.   Flow, clean responsiveness,  feel of unity on page  (ie., not as discreet items)  this is key...
 
 
if this is achieved there is *SO MUCH* and *SO FARTHER* beyond ecco that is possible.......
 
 
I think very soon after getting to 'ecco' capacity,  will be able to really add in 'next generation' utility....
 
 
could be very cool.

just a note for those who follow the RSS,
 
 
MagicView 5.45 released.   An extensive amount of internal bug fixes large & small, activation of Templates,  support for chromium type browsers ( http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php [for example] ) [recommend a build from the PUBLIC SOURCE of chrome, and not 'chrome'  with its privacy and copyright issues],  enhanced clipping engine, streamlined clip hotkey menus,  screen clip to new item toolbar (right click) shortcut, copy selection as HTML,  pretty cool support for audio/multimedia files,  friendly & helpful quick audio note recorder,   and other features.
 
All around, a substantially improved viewing 'experience'.
 
 
 
Some humbling milestones reached,  
 
 including  MV now officially (based on user self-reporting)  having clipped over 1 million web pages,
 
and incredibly,  official user base passed four thousand with download rate reaching almost 150 per day.

note: If you are upgrading to the latest MV version,  be sure to check your configuration settings (Control + F1).   In most cases you will not to 'update' some of the settings after updating.

Interesting MagicView developments:
 
     Official user base passed an incredible 10,000 uers.   INCREDIBLE.
 
     A large number of Law and Accounting offices have turned MagicView into their primary electronic document organization tool,  using ecco files a 'cabinets' for 30,000 documents each.  AMAZING.
 
     That has led to led to complaints that it is too difficult/complicated to add files to an ecco outline.  Often times there is a need to jump to a section of an outline,  add a file or two, and jump somewhere else to add more.   For my own use,  loading a MV page (Winkey + /) and then dragging the file(s) to the ItemText box is smooth enough.   Copying the file name and using the  File > Load > Shift + File command also works fine for me personally, but allas...
 
     Mass demand has been persuasive and new 'Drop Box' has been added.   Just drag any file(s) to the drop box and they are added at currently selected ecco item (as children if that item is a TLI, as subsequent items otherwise).  File name is item text, optional ground holding shift when dropping, or internalize with control+shift.   Search & Replace for directory structure in name is nice for cleaning up items when appropriate.
 
     Other stability improvements and smaller added powers,  Right-Left universal click improved, updated help.
     
 
     Likely Ecco iteself is similar,  but in tracking typical use from registered users,  less than 10% of MagicView functions/capabilities are being used by more than 80% of the surveyed users.   Probably a fault of design and simplification needed or better tutorials.  (Volunteers ?).
 
 
 
important note:  internal restructure of MV means that you MUST reset your Control + F1 config settings when you upgrade to this version.  THIS IS IMPORTANT.  Old config settings will be 'hashed' first time latest version is run.  Sorry.  Should be much more relaxed in future updates.
