New in Exam Helper v1.10:

  • Added: Basic statistics are tracked for the current session (reset when you close the application)
  • Added: New XML file format. Modify this file (in your home folder) to edit and delete individual questions!
  • Change: Answers are no longer case-sensitive
  • Bugfix: Application name did not always have a space on Mac OS X

Therefore, keep in mind that any questions you add to the current file will not be able to be ported to a future release of Exam Helper. Instead, v1.10 will include a new file format that will fix this problem.

Won't be released until after my exams.

Pressing return should automatically behave as though the “Check answer?” button was clicked

Already planning this - as mentioned above. I will probably add it soon, because it's annoying me at the moment.

When creating the answer to a question, provide a checkbox saying “Case-sensitive”

Was planning to make it non case-sensitive 100% of the time. Good idea. Will add that to the list as well.

After typing in the incorrect answer, re-activating/clicking the answer text box should automatically remove the “TRY AGAIN:” message

Yeah, I need a better way of handling this too. :\

  • Pressing return should automatically behave as though the “Check answer?” button was clicked

@bmcwd (Twitter): @leiger_ Pretty good for half a day's work! Would be good to be able to edit Qs & delete specific ones. Stats would be cool also.

Added to the list!
