Version 1.3 of the Simple Twitter Link plugin has been launched!

This update adds bit.ly to the list of URL shortening services that the plugin can make use of. Thanks to Helgi Hrafn Halldórsson for the suggestion.

Full details can be found on the plugin’s dedicated page.

When you right-click a file and choose “Open With“, and click the “Choose Program…” option, the list of registered applications are displayed in the Open With dialogue. Programs that are not already listed in the Open With dialogue can be added manually using the “Browse…” option.

However, in some cases, I find that when you browse to locate an application, it does not get added to the Open With dialogue.

This happened to me earlier after updating an application – the files normally associated with it weren’t, and I couldn’t get them to. However, a quick search on Google found an excellent, portable application for forcing program to be registered. Named “OpenWithAdd“, it works quickly and simply – launch a .exe and in the resultant Window, select the program you wish to add to the Open With dialogue. And that’s it. And in my case it worked a dream.

The standard readme.txt for WordPress plugins has been updated to allow for changelogs. This is excellent news and has happened at just the right time – I’m currently updating my readme.txt files to reflect that my plugins are compatible with WordPress 2.8!

Therefore, and slowly for now, I’m updating all my plugin readme.txt files. The appropriate pages for each plugin on this site, however, will change only if/when a new release of a plugin is released.
