Helper
23.08.30.0
Release date - 30-08-2023
Bug - Sent date of emails copied to the clipboard was incorrect
Emails showed a sent date of when they were copied to the clipboard rather then when they were sent. They now show the correct date.
23.07.15.0
Release date - 15-07-2023
Bug - Failing if same email is rapidly opened twice
The App now gracefully handles any errors that occur when a user makes repeated and rapid attempts to open the same email.
Improvement - Automated upgrading installer
You no-longer need to un-install the previous version of the software as the installer will detect the presence of an earlier version and uninstall that first. This is sometimes referred to as ‘over the top installation’ or ‘automated upgrading’.
23.07.01.0
Release date - 01-07-2023
New Feature - Copies the email to the clipboard
When you open an email via the search tool the Helper will now also copy it to the clipboard as an MSG, allowing you to paste it into a new email. If you have Windows notifications enabled, you will see a notification similar to this example.
Improvement - More reliable pathing
The code is now using newer methods to establish the users 'Downloads' folder.
Improvement - Bringing the opened email to the foreground
The Helper now uses multiple methods to bring the message to the foreground so that it is not opened behind other windows.
Improvement - Logging
It now writes a log file to %localappdata%\CloudFiler\Helper
Improvement - Installer reliability
Whereas previous installers created a scheduled task in Windows Task Scheduler to ensure that the Helper was automatically restarted for you, it now adds the Helper to your Windows Start-up group so that it is started when you log in.
23.03.10.0
Release date - 21-05-2023
Improvement - PowerShell used to add the Helper to Task Scheduler
In one customer environment the installer was unable to set up the action in Task Scheduler to start the Helper. This new installer now spawns a PowerShell script to set up the Task Scheduler action.

Release date - 14-02-2023
Bug - Failing on Windows 11 following an update
Following the update to Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621, the tool exhibited two problems. Firstly it would display a blank console window and secondly it would no longer open downloaded emails.
The new code uses a revised method.
23.01.08.0

Improvement - Clean-up
When processing emails that have been downloaded via the search, the Helper will now delete EML files that are no longer needed.
