What's New in EdgeManage
EdgeManage v2.2
Version 2.2 brings some more user-requested features... the ability to copy items (by holding down the CTRL key during a drag and drop operation) and a new View->Collapse All menu item.
EdgeManage v2.1
Version 2.1 brings some user-requested features... the ability to perform a search on favorites in the tree, the ability to load an "external" version of the Edge database (perhaps from another user or from some removable media), and the ability to see the URL (in the status bar) when selecting a favorite.
EdgeManage v2.0
This version of EdgeManage uses checkboxes to allow you to select more than one item at a time. So, this means that you can move, delete, or undelete multiple items in a single operation. Just put checkmarks in the items you want to group together for an action, then use the normal menu or drag operation.
You can select all of the items at the same level with the View->Check Selected feature, and clear all of the checkboxes (everywhere) with View->Clear All Checks.
Checkboxes are only used for [copies,] moves (via Drag-n-Drop), deletes, and undeletes. They are ignored for all other operations. So, to use other features, just select the item in the tree by clicking on the text.
