External tools
User interface

Skipper 3.2.23 was released in March 2020. It added an output window that shows the progress of external tools. Closing windows now detect unsaved changes and ask before they discard them, and field editing handles the TAB key better.

Hello,

Even the time is tough right now, we hope you all are doing fine. We are and we would like to let you know that our team is still working from the home office on Skipper. So today, we bring you some new enhancement in a new 3.2.23 update. You can download it directly from Skipper download site or you can launch the application and let its auto-update to do this work for you.

And what is new?

  • New external tools output window to track the progress of the task.
  • Reworked system of closing windows now detects the changes and asks for permission to discard these changes.
  • Improved TAB key handling during field editing.
  • Improved "missing datatype" validator message in entity editor when switching between tabs.
  • Other small enhancements and bug fixes you can find in Skipper changelog.

If you have any idea, how to make Skipper better, we would be happy for letting us know.

Your Skipper Team
