Improvements and fixes

WDF/BA Updates:


- Added a confirmation dialog to the multi-delete functionality. Now you have to confirm that you really want to delete the selected records. This of course works only in applications where multi-delete is activated.


- Preparations to replace the current encryption method to a more modern one. This is necessary because of the move from CentOS Stream to Fedora 36, which gives a totally different results with the now called 'legacy' encryption method. This change had an impact on all interactive applications, and, depending on the customer, some batch applications.


- Improved the Google Distance Calculator API call.


- Excel exports now keeps the contents of a multi-line text field together in one cell, where applicable.


- Various under the hood improvements and fixes.

ALT-N or Option-N, tags and styling

WDF/BA update:

- Added the keyboard shortcut ALT-N (Windows) / Option-N (macOS) to start a new record. Now you don't have to click the (+) button. This works when there is no input field selected.

- Added a jQuery Tag-Editor to the framework.

- Added an alternating backround to rows in listview; each even row gets a very light grey backround. This helps the eye to follow the data on a row from left to right.

How the menu will be displayed, can be set in GP006, key 'USERMENU' :
