CodeSnip Old Code (SVN)

Standardised svn:mime-type and svn:eol-style properties.

Reintegrated v4-dev branch into trunk.
Trunk now contains v4 development tree

* Reverted check list items to default behaviour. Clicking on item no longer toggles check mark. The modified behaviour was proving more problematic than helpful.
* Removed unit that had provided new behaviour.
* Adjusted other code as required.

* Added new "news" preferences sub-section along with single "MaxAge" setting that records maximum age of displayed news items.
* Added new frame that enables news preferences to be set by user. This frame is displayed in the preferences dialog box.

Removed now unused ULists unit from project. All its classes now superseded by classes from UContainers.

Added UContainers unit to project. Unit was copied from new-backend branch as at r845.

* Renamed TDatabaseLoader and TDatabaseLoaderThread and modified TDatabaseLoaderUI to use the renamed class.
* Added replacement TDatabaseLoader static class that loads the database directly, not in a thread. Modified TDatabaseLoaderThread to use TDatabaseLoader.
* Modified TMainForm to load the database on start up using TDatabaseLoader rather than using a TDatabaseLoaderThread object wrapped in a TThreadWrapper object.
* Removed now redundant UThreadWrapper unit from project.

Added new UDatabaseLoaderUI unit containing TDatabaseLoaderUI class that loads the database in a thread and displays a "wait" dialog if loading takes longer than 0.5 seconds.

* Renamed UWaitForActionUI unit as UWaitForThreadUI and TWaitForActionUI as TWaitForThreadUI.
* Changed TWaitForThreadUI to execute a thread rather than an action as a thread.
* Corrected exception handling in TWaitForThreadUI.
* Removed TActionThread class from UWaitForThreadUI unit.

Renamed FmUserDBEditDlg form unit as FmSnippetsEditorDlg and renamed form class from TUserDBEditDlg to TSnippetsEditorDlg. Modified using UUserDBMgr unit accordingly.
