New Additions and Changes for Pocket Secure v4.0
#1 "Landscape Mode" Support - Full support for landscape mode, including manual and auto-switching devices*.
#2 "Fit To Screen" (Image Stretch) - Added option in the Slideshow listbox, to Stretch, or Fit Image To The Screen Size! This will be handy if plain backgrounds are used, and they will be universal for Landscape & Portrait!
#3 "Different Skins Loaded Same Time" - The skin files are now designed so that a completely different skin can be loaded when switched to Landscape, without manually changing! The skin file can contain images for Portrait, and separate images for Landscape
#4 "Ignore Apps Added For Inactivity Feature" - When some 3rd party programs cause system activity, and will not let the 'Run After Inactivity' feature run, these apps can be added to the new 'Ignore List'.

#5 "Short Term" File(s) Encryption" - Added the ability to choose one or more files to encrypt using AES 128bit encryption! The files chosen for this option will be encrypted "Only" while PS is running! This will serve as an added layer of protection in case the program is compromised!
Short Term uses the "current password" to encrypt & decrypt!
#6 "Long Term" File(s) Encryption" - Using the same AES 128bit encryption, the file(s) added to this option list will be encrypted at all times, until the user decrypts. A separate / different password can be used for these files!
#7 "Ability To Choose Multiple Images / Files" - Added the ability to choose one or many images / files at once when populating the list for Slideshow Images, or Encryption Files! To do this, simply start at the far right of the first file, and 'drag' to the left and down (or up). Files will be highlighted.
#8 "Remember Last File List Tree Structure" - Last Tree Structure for files in the Encryption and Image List Dialogues, will now be remembered when next open, and eliminate the need to navigate to the same folder location.

#9 "Hard Reset with xx Incorrect Password Attempts" - This option does just what the title says. If the user set number of wrong passwords is passed, the device will preform a Hard Reset, erasing all data to protect personal info!**
#10 "Added Registration Code"" - The Trial version & Full Version are now contained within the same file! A Registration Code will be needed to 'unlock' the Full Version! The Trial will work for 3 days, and then will require Registration!
#11 "Increased Screen Timeout Delay" - Added a slight increase in the timeout, where the display changes from the password / keypad screens, back to the main capture or slideshow!
#12 "Added 3rd Options Tab" - Added additional tab so as to make room for these additions, as well as future!
#13 "Fixed" Long Button Press Issue" - An issue was reported that some Button Mapping programs allowed a "Long Press" that was able to activate apps while PS was running! Tests show this has been eliminated
#14 "Fixed" Process Running Issue" - On 2003 devices, when PSecureIdleProc.exe was running, the install would fail unless this process was stopped with SKTools or MemMaid! This process will now be stopped before installation on all devices!

Important #1 With the new Registration Code in place, all current users will be able to download updates directly from my website. Current users simply need to complete & submit the "Registration Request Form", by following the link on the bottom left of the home page! When the new v4.0 is installed over the old, a message will appear when PS is run. When OK is tapped, the "About Screen" will then appear from within the program! This is where your Registration Code will be entered! Just tapping OK there will close the window, but the same will happen the next time PS is started!
Important #2 There are now 2 new types of installers available! A Desktop Install Version, and a PDA "CAB" Version. When installed, the device will "Automatically Display the PS Help File" after install, for instant reference!
Important #3 In addition to the standard program release, a special "UPX Compressed" version is also available. This version will install and function exactly the same as the original, except the program's file size is Greatly Reduced, so as to save precious device memory! This has worked well on all test devices!
Important #4 Current v3.0 skins will need to be "Modified", in order to work with the new v4.0. Please see the "Skinning Tutorial" on the PS website, for info on doing this! I will be modifing the existing skins that I myself & other users made, and posting them on the PS website in the coming days..
See the new Pocket Secure HTML Help File (http://www.totalpocketpc.com/Help_PS_v4.htm) here!
Help file is also formatted for easy viewing on the device!
The PS Website has had many modifications and improvements. Current users can download the update, and submit the Registration Request Form.
New purchases can also be made immediately, and the registration code will be emailed within 24 hrs. This is only for the next 24 - 48 hrs, until the automatic registration process is implemented!
I hope you all enjoy the new Pocket Secure v4.0! ;)
