What's New in 5.3

Sharing

It is now possible, with only a couple of clicks, to share content with other Infront users. All windows with sharable content now have a Share item in the caption menu.

The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+S. The sharing command is also directly available on the Chart toolbar.

In the sharing dialog that pops up you can enter a text describing what you want to share. Then you can share the window using Twitter, email, copy the URL or by writing a news item (this require that you have access to the News Contribution feature).

Sharing will generate a web page with a unique URL. Anyone can use the web URL to view what you shared in a browser. Other users of the application can use the URL to open the actual window (providing they have access to the same service feeds). This is a great way of communicating about changing market conditions.

Twitter Support

Twitter client

The application now includes a Twitter client. Using it requires you to have a Twitter account (that can be registered at twitter.com). To open a Twitter window, click the icon in the toolbar (or use File | New | Twitter).

Using Twitter you can follow other leading market tweeters and gather information from all kinds of sources. You can also write your own tweets and share windows.

Share by tweeting

To share a window in a tweet message, simply use the Share command in the information window, then press the Tweet button.

Support for Reply, Retweet, Favorite, Follow and Delete

Supported links

Click on @ tags to view that persons timeline. Click on # tags to search for a topic. Click on $ tags to search for or open a quote window for a symbol.

Toolbar

In the toolbar you have buttons to go to your home timeline, tweet and view your favorites. Type text into the field to search for anything.

Drag and drop

It is possible to drag and drop a symbol from a market or composite window. That will trigger a new tweet and will paste in the code for the symbol. Other users of the application will be able to click this code to open the corresponding quote window.

User defined RSS news

It is now possible to add any open RSS feed in the terminal.

The RSS feeds you define will become available as News services, in the RSS News category.

The RSS news will be displayed in the normal news list window and you can mix them with other news sources.

All the normal features like filtering and news alerts work with RSS news too.
