Shrook v2.41 released

This blog post popped up in one of the vanity blog search result feeds I have in Shrook. They wanted a way to look at the web page for just the current item, which you've never been able to do in Shrook 2. But now you can.

The other change concerns the buttons that Shrook sometimes puts in the item pane - for attachments, the Channel Guide, Learning Groups and so forth. They sometimes got their labels mixed up. This wasn't my fault, it was some horrible bug inside WebKit, since the buttons are HTML. I've finally found a way to fix it, with some JavaScript that runs inside the pane and cleans up WebKit's mistakes.

(P.S. The reason it's been so long since the last Shrook update is that big things are planned for it and my other products. More soon)

What about the "Enter" key? I'd prefer if the view pane really just viewed the xml supplied by the feed.

Thanks for your great reader, Graham.

@gabe: the enter-key opens safari, clicking on the button doesn't and you can't hit enter with a mouse.
@graham: thanks for fixing the mixed up buttons in the items pane !

OK - duh... Probably should have clicked the button before complaining, eh? An interesting feature I'm not sure I'll use. I'll reiterate my request to be able to disable the button or perhaps moving the button to the bottom?
