What's new in 3.1.1

Version 3.1.1 is a maintenance release to accommodate Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) and fixes bugs. Some features were also added:

The Sort button was added to the Toolbar
The Cabinet button of the Toolbar has a popup menu
The History feature is implemented independently from the Shared Menus Component

The Shared Menus Enhancer (included) now also works in Panther.

To add the new Sort button to the toolbar, please use th Customize Toolbar command from the Window menu.

What's new in 3.1

Version 3.1 improves the Mac OS X look and feel of URL Manager Pro and adds Shared Menus* support to Safari (see below), Mozilla, Netscape and Mail.

You have a system-wide bookmark menu as well. The Global Bookmark Menu gives you bookmark access in any application from the system menu (also called 'Menu Extra') area of your menu bar (the document icon left to 'Wed' is your system-wide bookmark menu, see picture below).

You can now specify the bookmark file when you add a bookmark (see picture).

From the Shared Menu or the Global Bookmark Menu, you can open bookmark files and easily switch between your bookmark files.

*Shared Menus give you access to your URL Manager Pro bookmarks from within any web browser.

Improved Mac OS X look and feel : Standard Toolbar, Window Menu and Font Panel, uses Carbon Events
