Release 1.4.F - November 16, 2008 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated Bug Reporting module, version 6.0.17 - Integrated with an updated Skinning engine, version 5.67 - Now, instead of reporting that it can't create a unique report number when using auto numbering, it will append a temporary suffix to the report number which will be removed once the report number becomes unique, such as might be the case when using the property address tag in the auto-numbering format. For example, the first duplicate will have a "(1)" appended to the non-unique report number to make it unique and easily indentifiable when browsing reports. - Reorganized the General Information pages so that the property information is in the forefront. - Enhanced Picklists so that you can use picklists to select RapidRemarks. If the first char of a picklist item is a caret (^), the current list of RapidRemarks will be searched. If it finds an exact match, the picklist will be completely replaced by the respective fully formatted RapidRemark body (use CTRL+Z to undo a misselection of this type since it will no longer be a picklist). [Bug Fixes] - Corrected several auto-numbering issues when the auto-numbering format is set to use values that have not been entered at the time of report creation, such as the property address. It might have warned you that it could not create a unique report number. In another instance, if you tried to load an existing report that had not had the info entered still, it might have used the previously opened report information to fill in the missing information to create the report number. - Fixed indentation of a table within a table that caused paragraphs to be indented two or more times during report generation time if those paragraphs were part of an inner table (a table inside of another table). - Fixed a situation that could cause a list index out of bounds error if there is no work view and you modified the report view. - Fixed an error which could occur after installation where it can't find the ReporterDatabase.zip initialization file. Release 1.4.E - October 2, 2008 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated editor, version 5.40. - Integrated with an updated Bug Reporting module, version 6.0.16 - Integrated with an updated Skinning engine, version 5.53 - Added a picklist menu item to allow resetting the picklist to an unselected state. - Added an option to allow all chapter and topic layouts for the report view to be cloned when saving a report view as a new report view. This can be useful when creating a similar report view, and the chapter and topic layouts will be modified later and you didn't want to affect the original report view layouts or have to make copies of them separately prior to modifying them. - User checkboxes will now have a light yellow background in the editor to help make them standout and to indicate that it is an active checkbox as opposed to just a wingding character. - Increased clickable area for clicking on user checkboxes. Plus, if you are inside a checkbox, a space will toggle the state. - Linked images contained within text being copy/pasted from one comment to another will now also be included (both within the same report and also between reports, cloning images as needed). - When selecting a RapidRemark using the AutoPaste feature (F2), it will launch the RapidRemark Manager instead of inserting it into your comment if the Shift key is held down when clicking on the selection. The RapidRemark Manager will automatically load the RapidRemark you had selected where you can then edit it if desired. - Double clicking a RapidRemark in the RapidRemark Manager will now add the RR to the current comment (same function as if you clicked the "Insert info current report comment" button). A new status bar was added to the RR Manager to show confirmation of the insertion. - Updating of the image panel is now performed in a separate low priority process. This will prevent having to wait for the image panel to update in order to continue in the application, which could have been as long as 15 seconds or more if you had hundreds of images imported. - Now includes the address in the subject line when emailing the report. - Now saves into the registry the last license file accessed just in case a full backup is restored which contains old license file information. - The RapidRemark window now remembers where it was last positioned. [Bug Fixes] - Fixed a bug which didn't properly restore a topic that had no layout. Prior to 1.4.A, a topic was required to have a layout; however, starting with 1.4.A, this was no longer required and the restore logic was still expecting a layout to be assigned. - The respective Layout or Hint window was not being updated if the current layout or hint was edited in the Report/Work View managers. - Various buttons and text/combo boxes now resize and align properly when the Report/Work View managers or their subpanels resize. - Fixed a bug which didn't copy the chapter layout when cloning a work view chapter. - Fixed an undesirable effect of being able to type when the cursor was positioned inside the hidden checkbox tags, causing text entered to have the wingding font. - Report/Work View managers will now correctly color code the layout view. - Fixed a problem where user checkboxes would not toggle even though it appeared you did click it. - The database collation sequence is now set properly when used outside the U.S. - The new editor corrected a problem processing nested linked text (linked text inside of a wider scoped linked text block). - Corrected the timestamp set in the PDF file. It was using the UTC time rather than local clock time. - Corrected various timestamps and timestamp comparisions when backing up and restoring individual reports. This was causing issues when backing up individual reports in one timezone and restoring in another. - Corrected a problem when restoring a report where the list of topic checkboxes that were checked for each topic did not get remapped properly to the new checkbox group if that checkbox group had to be remapped because it was different than the existing group. - Corrected a problem where restoring a report view as new instead of replacing an existing one, Reporter did not apply the same suffix to the new corresponding work view (if there was one). Release 1.4.D - July 10-11, 2008 [Enhancements] [Bug Fixes] - Corrected a problem introduced in 1.4.A in regards to restoring a duplicate report as a new report. The comments would be saved to the current report rather than the new report. - Corrected the Inspection Time on restored reports (the UTC time was not being converted to local time) - A new set of Layouts, Hints, Checkbox Groups, Checkboxes and RapidRemark Views were being created when restoring a duplicate Report View as a new Report View. Now they will only be created if needed (i.e. different than the exiting one). * Re-uploaded on 7/10 @ 9pm to include this fix: Problem where the editor toolbar was not restoring its default color when skins are turned off until Reporter was restarted. * Re-uploaded on 7/11 @ 6:30pm to include this fix: Now skins the signature dialog and corrects the signature area color. Release 1.4.C - July 8, 2008 [Enhancements] - Enhanced the sort algorithm when sorting picklist items. Click the Sort Items button the first time, and it sorts Ascending, click a 2nd time, it sorts Descending. It will also sort leading numerical values as numeric rather than as a string, i.e. 1, 11, 2, 22, 3 will now sort as 1, 2, 3, 11, 22 instead of 1, 11, 2, 22, 3. - Text fields will no longer be automatically removed if empty while designing a form entry type of template. This also removes the requirement that a space be automatically inserted between field tags when a text field is added. - Added a Checkbox Group Rules builder so that you don't have to be a programmer to create rules for the topic checkbox groups you create. - Corrected the skinning of the editor toolbar. [Bug Fixes] - Corrected a problem restoring an individual report whose report or work view does not currently exist in the database and the folder list being restored is out of order. This could cause an error indicating that it was trying to restore a child folder before its parent folder had been restored. - Corrected the default inspector information license file path... it was not empty, and could confuse the user on new installs. - Updated the evaluation license in the full setup (the no docs setup was already updated). Release 1.4.B - June 29, 2008 [Bug Fixes] - Corrected a Topic Checkbox Group audit problem introduced in 1.3.P where it would incorrectly identify which topics didn't have any checkboxes checked. - Fixed a problem refreshing the checkbox group in the Report View Manager if changes were made. Release 1.4.A - June 28, 2008 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated Bug Reporting module, version 6.0.14 - Bug reports are now sent to us without the need of the user's email client or server. - The report number for the manual entry will now default to the scheme used by the auto-generated report number format. This will allow a manual report number to default to some pre-generated value using the format specified by the auto report number generation setting so that you don't have to always enter a frequently used prefix to your manually specified report number for instance. - Integrated with enhanced splitter control for the Navigation, RapidRemark and Hint panels. - Added a new printing option that will suppress any topics that have no comments. - Added a new function key, F3, to perform one of the following: (1) if the text cursor is over a link, it will be removed without prompting, or (2) if the text cursor is not on a link, it will apply a link type of Linked Text without prompting, using the last qualifier selected. In case (2), if there is nothing selected, it will select the whole paragraph to apply the linked text attribute, else it will only apply the linked text attribute to the seleted text. - Now if backing up a single report, it will use the report number as the default backup file name. - Added the ability to apply various "skins" to the look-and-feel of the application. The default skin loaded is "Elegant", but can be turned off using Setup > Select Skin > "Standard (no skin)". - Added a Print button to the PDF creation completed dialog which will launch the Windows' default application to print the PDF version of the report. - Enhanced the Report View Manager and the Work View Manager by breaking them down to look like the main window, plus it also includes previews of the respective selections. - Added the ability to create submenus in a picklist popup menu by using backslashes for a menu item. For example: Wood\Cedar would create a picklist menu item "Wood" with a submenu item of "Cedar". - Added a configurable zoom level for the hint panel, default is 80%. Right click on the hint panel to change zoom level. - Now you can toggle the Form Entry style even if the topic layout is set to Form Entry style to allow for one off changes to the body of a form template. - Updated the Texas WDI templates to correct the Structural Pest Control Service name. [Bug Fixes] - Fixed an access violation during auto open/close of the panels if there was no active control. - Fixed a problem under Vista where the popup picklist menu would not resize its width smaller to fit the current longest menu item; i.e. it would resize wider, but not then reduce its width if the new menu's longest item was shorter than the previous menu's longest item. This worked fine under XP, but not under Vista. - Now properly defaults the OK button when first loading the Create New Payment dialog. - Fix a problem inserting a Form Entry Text Field introduced in 1.3.P. - Fixed a flicker issue with the general info tab pages. - Implemented a fix to correct a system level MonitorFromPoint access violation when either LogMeIn remote access was installed, or the number of monitors configured was changed without restarting WhisperReporter. - Fixed a problem where Reporter would not save the current modified comment when creating a new report. Instead, it would save it into the new report. - Fixed a bug under certain Windows configurations where it would cause dates in a report to be incorrectly exported when backing up individual reports. The date/time entries would be missing the separator chars ("/" for the date separator and ":" for the time separator) which would cause an invalid date error when restoring the report. Note: The backup file is in editable XML format, and therefore the dates are correctable should the need arise to restore one of these corrupted backup files. - Fixed a problem restoring a duplicate report view that was then specified to be saved as a new report view. The report comments would be mapped to the original report view instead of the new report view. - Fixed a problem changing the Topic Layout of the topic comment currently shown in the editor where it would not update the comment view to reflect the change. Release 1.3.R - May 4, 2008 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated Bug Reporting module, version 6.0.13 - Improved auto-close of the Navigation and RapidRemark panels. - Enhanced auto numbering of linked text in the body of the report so that the numbering includes the full point number as it appears in the resolved linked text. Previously, only the last number of the point sequence would appear in the body. - Combined the multiple Audit Alerts into a single scrollable audit alert dialog. - The Browse Reports dialog now remembers the column widths so that any adjustments you make will be retained. - Now suppresses duplicate named checkboxes in the suppress section of the Print dialog and when creating a new template. Previously, if more than one checkbox group was used, and some topic checkbox descriptions were the same in each, they would appear more than once in the topic checkbox list shown in the print and new template dialogs, causing confusion. Now if more than one topic checkbox group is used in a report view, and a topic checkbox description from one group matches that of another group, they will be treated as if they were the same topic checkbox, and listed only once. - Added an option in the Picklist Manager to be able to automatically build the picklist menu with submenus based on the first character of the picklist. This helps to organize the picklists when there are too many to fit on a single popup. - Added shortcut keys to select All (CTRL+A), Select Paragraph (CTRL+ALT+A), and to invoke the Print dialog (CTRL+P). Also added a menu option to select paragraph. [Bug Fixes] - Fixed a problem introduced in 1.3.Q to correct insertion of a RapidRemark into a bulleted list ultimately caused a RapidRemark that started with bullets itself to lose the first bullet if inserted into a non-bulleted list. - Corrected a problem where it wouldn't honor the selection to always make the property address the same as the client address when creating a new report. Release 1.3.Q - April 22, 2008 [Enhancements] - Implemented tags for the various report notes. [Bug Fixes] - Now when inserting a RapidRemark into a new bulleted item, the bullet attribute will not be reset for the inserted RR. - Fixed a "Failed to set data" error introduced in 1.3.P that occurs on new installations. Release 1.3.P - April 13, 2008 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated editor, version 5.36. - Integrated with an updated Bug Reporting module, version 6.0.12 - Added a topic checkbox panel right click popup option to uncheck all topic checkboxes, bypassing checkbox group rules. Useful when creating a new template from another template, but want to uncheck all checkboxes so the audit will notify if any topic checkboxes were not checked. - Enhanced the paragraph attributes toolbar button. The first time that it is clicked, it exposes only the basic paragraph attributes (end of paragraph, spaces, hidden table borders, etc). If it is clicked a second time within 2 seconds, it will then expose the extended attributes, such as bookmark style attributes (linked text, etc) and hyperlink tags (checkboxes, etc). - Added an option to the AutoPaste functionality (F2) to allow searching for the entered word anywhere in the RapidRemark description, not just the first word of the description. Right click on the RR panel, and select the desired search style. - Increased the scrolling speed as you drag an RR item to a new location using the RR Manager. - A payment no longer requires a description to be entered. - A new payment will now prefill the amount field with the current balance. - Doubleclicking a payment will now bring up the payment editor. - Changed the minute increment of the inspection time to be 5 minutes instead of 1 minute. - The inspection time now defaults to the current time when creating new reports (rounded to a 5 minute increment). - The "no topic checkboxes checked" audit will now take into account those checkboxes that are not printed. Previously for example, if you used an unprinted checkbox to suppress a section, the audit would have warned you that no topic checkboxes were checked for that topic even though the unprinted "suppress" checkbox was checked. - Enhanced the audit alert for unchecked picklists by identifying the chapter and topic where the unchecked picklist exists. - Added a Tool menu item that allows you to review the audit alerts that might have been created the last time a report was generated. The menu item will be disabled if there is no audit alert report available. [Bug Fixes] - Fixed an invalid index error if clicking on the list of Real Estate Companies, Agents, or Title Companies and nothing is selected (and you didn't click on one of the items in the list). - Fixed a problem introduced in 1.3.N where clicking "use with current report" in the Report View Manager would not permanently save this new report view setting for the current report. It was only applying it to the current working report, but would revert back to the original report view next time the report was loaded. - Fixed a problem where the mouse cursor would disappear after hitting the F2 key (auto-paste). - If the text within the hidden attribute tags is deleted, the hidden attribute tags will now also be deleted. Also, if the cursor is moved inside an older empty tag, it will remove the empty tag. - Upgrading to the latest editor corrected a problem which would cause a signature to get corrupted if it followed a linked image. - Fixed a problem where if borders were applied to the first paragraph of a comment the borders would not be printed. - Fixed a problem under Vista where Reporter wasn't able to determine if ImageEditLite had been installed in order to make it available as the image editor of choice under Preferences. Release 1.3.O - March 13, 2008 [Enhancements] - Now when enabling to view paragraph attributes, it will also show hyperlink tags. [Bug Fixes] - Fixed a page count issue when the TOC extends more than one page. This was introduced in 1.3.N Release 1.3.N - March 9, 2008 [Enhancements] - The Browse Reports dialog now remembers the sort order. Also moved the Inspection Date to be the first column and made the default sort order to be by Inspection date instead of Report Number. - Added a feature that allows the printing of multiple pages per sheet of paper. This can help conserve paper if printing a hard copy for your files for example. - Added a printing option, Scale to fit within printable page margins, that allows the page to be printed fully within the printer's printable page boundries. In other words, the full page will be scaled down as needed so that it will print entirely within the printable area of a page. Previously the pages were not scaled, and therefore, if you designed a form which had text within the paper's physical edges but outside of a printer's physical printable margins, the portion outside those margins would not get printed. - Added support for PNG image files. - Now remembers the setting for "Property Location is the same as the Client's address" for future new reports. - Added a feature to allow you to immediatly view the PDF file just created. - Improved Browse Reports grid (live tracking when using the slider, and sort order is now shown) - Added a Setup > Linked Text option to automatically trim off leading and trailing blank lines of the text being linked in. - Added a TOC preference setting to exclude all chapters and/or all topics from the TOC. [Bug Fixes] - Fixed a problem importing a work view that had parentheses in the name. - Fixed a problem trying to update the topic summary when switching to work view when there was no work view. - Fixed a problem which allowed the attempt to save part or all of a comment as a RapidRemark even though no RapidRemark folders were available for the current topic. This would result in an error message since there would be no default folder to place the RapidRemark into. - Corrected a problem where a paragraph attribute, such as a bullet, from the previous linked text inclusion would carry over into the automatic insertion of the chapter and/or topic heading. - Now suppresses the faint section marker in the left margin when printing to a physical printer. - Fixed a TOC issue if there were more than one root folder and the TOC placeholder was somewhere in the last root folder. - Fixed a problem creating a new template if the Report View had one or more topics referencing the same topic comment. Release 1.3.M - January 1, 2008 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated Bug Reporting module, version 6.0.11 [Bug Fixes] - Fixed a problem which could read a license file incorrectly. - Fixed a problem where it would continue to use the current report when deleting it and then canceling out of the browse reports dialog. Release 1.3.L December 9, 2007 [Enhancements] - Improved the way Apex and RapidSketch are loaded. - Added new links to the updated help file (included with the full setup) [Bug Fixes] - Added hooks to prevent the ability to invoke the image editor a second time if you double-double clicked an image too quickly. - Fixed a problem where paragraph spacing would not be updated on the screen until something else updates the comment. - Fixed a problem when restoring a report that already exists, and you selected to have it added as a new report instead of replacing the existing report. If the reports have duplicate payment information, you would get an error saying that the payment information was not unique, and the restore would fail. - Fixed a problem similar to one fixed in 1.3.D where it had allowed a node to be dragged and dropped into one of its own child nodes (for both RapidRemark Manager and Report/Work View Manager). Release 1.3.K November 13, 2007 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated Bug Reporting module, version 6.0.9 - New setup program which is fully Windows Vista compatible. - Now allows more than two digits when specifying the auto-report number starting incrementing value. - Enhanced the New Report dialog. - Updated Texas WDI templates to reflect the 9/01/2007 revision. The updated templates will only install on new installs; if updating an existing install, please download the latest templates from the website and restore from those. - Improved performance of the Topic Checkbox Summary compilation by about 2x. - Added an Inspection Date Range selection to the Data Export feature, and sorts the results by date. [Bug Fixes] - Corrected a problem that allowed the Print button to be double-clicked, causing various recursion errors. - Under Windows Vista, fixed some dialogs which would imprint part of the background onto unused areas of the dialog. Release 1.3.J October 29, 2007 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated editor, version 5.30.3. - In the Backup, Restore and Archive functions of the Data Manager, you can now hold down the SHIFT key to select a range of reports instead of having to select each individual report while holding down the CTRL key. - When saving a comment as a RapidRemark, if the description given is the same as an existing description in the same folder, you will now be prompted to save as new or replace the existing one. - You can now invoke the Picklist Manager directly from the pop up list of picklist items to easily add or remove items from the current list. - Now when selecting a Chapter in the navigation tree, the main panel will show a topic checkbox summary so that you can view at-a-glance the topic checkboxes that are currently checkmarked for each topic under the selected chapter node. - All forms now initialize at mainform center rather than screen center (for improved behavior on widescreen or multi-monitor setups) - Added code to trap for and display jpg file corruption during import of an image rather than having a bug report generated. - Added limits to all the text boxes to prevent exceeding the width of the respective field in the database. - Added the ability to export selected data to XML, XLS, TXT, CSV and HTML format files using the Data Manager. [Bug Fixes] - Fixed a problem where it sometimes would not delete the image database folder for a report that was being deleted. - Fixed a problem where an empty image database folder would be created when saving part of a comment as a RapidRemark even though there were no images in the resulting RapidRemark. - If an image was added to a RapidRemark and then subsequently deleted from that RapidRemark, the image was not being deleted from the image database folder for that RapidRemark (only the link to it was deleted). Now when saving a RapidRemark, any unused images in the image database folder for that RapidRemark will be deleted. - Fixed an Access Violation when updating a node icon which could occur under the following scenario: switching reports from one that had a work view to another that did not, and the report view had some of the same navigation nodes as the previous report view. So when one of the navigation tree icons needed to be updated, such as marking the comment as complete, and the node just happened to have been referenced by the previous work view, the Access Violation would occur trying to update the work view icon which was no longer there. - Fixed a page count issue when a TOC was used in its own topic page. - Fixed an Index out of bounds error when generating a TOC when there was only a single root folder being printed. - Fixed an Access Violation when manipulating tables - Fixed a problem keeping all the city pulldowns in sync when new cities are added on the fly. - Fixed a problem where edit windows would not always get refreshed when it needed to be to correctly represent the WYSIWYG environment. - Fixed an invalid date error when trying to edit an existing client name. - Fixed a problem where changing the taxrate might not get saved. Release 1.3.I September 3, 2007 [Enhancements] - Added a method to remove the old WhisperPI linked text attribute, which can be an artifact of cut/paste using the clipboard to move data from WhisperPI to WhisperReporter. Simply click on the double red underlined area, and then right click to select "Remove Old Style Link Text". Note: This menu item will only be visible if the double red underline is the result of an old style link text attribute. - Improved responsiveness when preloading a large number of images into the database. - Added the ability to reset the WDI sketch by right clicking and selecting the "Reset Sketch Using" item from the popup menu. This allowed for combining all sketch flavors of WDI templates into a single WDI Template. - Added the ability to view an image's properties when in Field Edit mode using the right-click popup menu. You can also select to edit the image from the same popup menu (previously, only a double-click of an image when in field edit mode would invoke the image editor) - Changed the logic flow when creating new reports. It now defaults to create a new report from a template. The template list is pre-populated with the most recently used list including all reports marked as templates. - Added configurable Audit items under Preferences, which include two new audits: No Topic checkboxes checked, and empty comments being printed. [Bug Fixes] - Now converts the path to the Apex sketch to a short path so the Apex integration control can handle it without causing Apex to error with a 2739 error. - Corrected a problem restoring a report having a report number containing a single quote. This was introduced in 1.3.C. - Fixed a problem introduced with the updated editor integrated in 1.3.G where a table could cause a page break when it didn't need to. - Corrected a problem which could invalidate a license file. - If the topic checkbox group changes for a particular topic and contains a different set of checkboxes, the previous list of checked checkboxes will not be discarded the next time the topic is saved. This way, if the checkbox group is reset back to the previous checkbox group, the checked state for the checkboxes in that group will have been retained. Release 1.3.H August 16, 2007 [Enhancements] [Bug Fixes] - Fixed a problem updating the visible folder list when selecting an item in the RapidRemark View Manager. Changes to a RR View might also include the folders selected in another RR view previously looked at while in the RR View Manager. Release 1.3.G August 15, 2007 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated editor, version 5.25 [Bug Fixes] - Corrected a problem introduced in 1.3.E where during auto-summary resolutions the last item in a topic might have its paragraph attributes stripped off (for example a bullet item might not be bulleted if it was the last item resolved from a topic). - Corrected a problem where if a large number of images were included in the report (somewhat greater than 20 or so), the PDF would arbitrarily grow very large (for example, a normally 5MB PDF file might end up being 28MB if it had 65 images). This was corrected with the updated editor. Release 1.3.F July 26, 2007 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated Bug Reporting module (6.0.6) [Bug Fixes] - If the client city was modified, any subsequent reports you loaded would not show the correct city but would instead show the city you last entered. This previous city could be updated in the report if changes were then made to the client address and you didn't also correct the city pulldown. However, if no changes were made to the client address, the report would not be updated with this erroneous city selection. Release 1.3.E July 2, 2007 [Enhancements] - The Add/Edit service fee now includes a pop up calculator. - Enhanced the Merge feature to take into account template data. Now during a merge, if the topic comment being merged differs from the current comment but has not been modified, it will not be appended to the existing comment (the existing comment will stay as-is). Also, if the topic comments differ but the current comment has not been modified, the topic comment being merged will replace the current comment rather than be appended to it. - Now if an installation of WhisperReporter expires before the 14 usage days has been exhausted, WhisperReporter will ask for a license file instead of simply terminating. [Bug Fixes] - Now prevents the "Next" or "Previous" button from being double-clicked in the Data Manager which could result in an blank dialog having just Next/Previous/Close buttons. - If an incomplete or corrupted archive is specified during a restore, an error message will be invoked rather than producing an Access Violation. The actual error was being caught in the archive tool and not forwarded to the Data Manager, which continued on its merry way to try to restore basically nothing. - Fixed another access violation related to a previous bug which had been corrected in 1.3.D (where a RR folder could be dragged onto itself). If the topic currently selected was using a RR View that had the problem (parent folder pointing to itself), then bringing up the RR View Manager would result in an access violation. - Now if a RR folder's parent ID points to itself (earlier bug), it will be treated as if it had no parent. This will prevent this orphaned folder from being lost by now appearing as a root folder. - Fixed a problem where the scrollbars would disappear on the Image Panel. - Fixed a problem introduced with the new editor that was integrated in 1.3.D. You could no longer edit images when in Form Entry mode, such as the WDI structure diagram. - Fixed an access violation which could occur undo'ing a table row deletion. - Fixed a problem when restoring individual reports and the report being restored has updated general information that was user selected to be "added as new" instead of replaced or skipped. The restored report might point to the original general information instead of the "added as new" version of the general information. (in other words, the restore would not remap the general information section). - Fixed several table alignment issues during report generation, including indented tables not being indented, and an adjoining table being indented if there wasn't an empty line between the two. - Eliminated an extra line that was being added between topics of linked text items. Release 1.3.D June 16, 2007 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated editor, version 5.24 - WhisperReporter now remembers the path where the database was installed at the time of the current or previous installation. We have found that the Window's Shell Folders registry entry that points to a user's location that all applications should save user data to, can be modified and redirected to a new location without consent. All apps that relied on the expectations that this path information would not change are affected, including Microsoft Outlook. - Installation no longer overwrites the default autocorrect.adu custom dictionary. This dictionary was intended to be the default custom dictionary as released by the spellchecker, and a user's autocorrect dictionary would hold any newly added items, including custom autocorrect entries. We have found that some users have modified the spellchecker configuration and redirected custom additions to be written to the default dictionary. In such cases, updating WhisperReporter would then overwrite the default custom dictionary, losing any additions the user had added. - Added the checkbox type as a link type, whose properties can be viewed and a type that can be removed. - Added a "New Picklist" menu item to the Picklist pulldown button on the toolbar to provide an easier path to create new picklists, especially when in the RapidRemark Manager. - Added the ability to change the background color of the RapidRemarks panel. Simply right click on the RR panel and select the background color from the list of available colors. - In the RapidRemark Manager, added a button to allow the insertion of the selected RapidRemark into the current report comment. - Hitting the ESC key in the RapidRemark Manager will now close the dialog as if you hit the close button. The ESC will have no effect if editing a RapidRemark. [Bug Fixes] - The Report View Manager now prevents topic nodes from being able to be created under the root folder (topics can only be created under chapter nodes). - Fixed a race condition which could have caused an Access Violation when using the Report View Manager and changing the Report View that is currently shown. - Fixed a SQL error if the autogeneration of the report number included an apostrophe. - If toggling the "Comment Complete" on or off, all work view nodes will now reflect the change, not just the first one. - Fixed a problem which allowed RapidRemarks folders and Report/Work View Chapters to be drag-n-dropped into themselves, corrupting the parent reference of the node. - Fixed a stack overflow condition when selecting a topic that had the above parent reference problem. To correct such an instance, simply use the RapidRemark View Manager to clear and reselect the folders desired for the particular RapidRemark View causing the problem. i.e. Use the Report View Manager to select the topic you are having problems with, and then click the "..." button next to the RapidRemark View pulldown. This will load the RapidRemark View for that topic, where you can then reselect the folders for that RapidRemark View. - Corrected a problem backing up and restoring custom spellcheck dictionaries. - When creating a new report from a template, it will no longer use the current client name and property address for the autogeneration of the report number when those tags are used in the report number format. - Fixed a problem where the scrollbars would disappear on the RapidRemark Panel. Release 1.3.C 2007-05-28 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated Bug Reporting tool, 6.0.4 - Integrated with an updated Apex integration control, 2.7.2.0 - Added Next Topic/Previous Topic toolbar buttons to allow incremental browsing of your comments using the mouse. - Added a View Image toolbar button on the image panel to make it easier to view a large sample of the image using the mouse without having to right-click and select from a popup menu. - Now remembers the last Print Preview zoom mode. - Now if during a restore, either the internal report ID or the user's report number matches an existing report ID or report number, respectively, you can now optionally merge the two reports. During a merge, if comments or notes differ, the comment/note from the report being restored is appended to the existing comment/note. Other information is added only if there is no entry in the current report for that same entry, for example the client or property ID. Services are also merged (appended). - If you click on the same RapidRemark you currently have selected but had closed the preview balloon, the preview balloon will reappear. - Enhanced Auto Report Numbering by allowing to specify the starting point for incrementing numbers: Zero (as in previous versions), Last Number Used, and Other (you can specify a number to always start from) [Bug Fixes] - Fixed a race condition which could have caused an Access Violation when using the RapidRemark View Manager to change the RapidRemark View that is currently shown in the RapidRemark panel. - Fixed a problem with RapidSketch integration - Fixed a problem with Apex Medina integration on Windows Vista. On Vista only, the integration control would close before the edited image was finished being saved, resulting in WhisperReporter refreshing the image with the image that had not yet been updated. On new Apex sketch insertion, the image would never even be added to the comment. Release 1.3.B 2007-05-04 [Enhancements] - Updated the RapidSketch integration DLL to version 1.0.0.1. - The default cursor in the edit window is now the I-Beam (text edit) cursor rather than a pointer. - If editing in the report comment, RapidRemark comment or the Hint editors, the mouse pointer will now be hidden while typing. Moving the mouse over the respective window will cause the mouse pointer to be visible once again. This feature will work whether your mouse driver supports it directly or not. - Enhanced prefix ability to linkedText items, so you can now add chapter.topic.item numbering or a symbol at the beginning of a linked text item. - Now if you click on the Link toolbar icon without any text selected, it will automatically select the current paragraph. - Added a new tool to allow import of WhisperPI's Realtor information (Agents and Real Estate Companies). [Bug Fixes] - Fixed an Access Violation issue with the RapidRemark panel if you closed the RapidRemark Manager without making any changes and then tried to bring it up a second time without changing topics. - Fixed a Database warning that the data was truncated if you edited a RapidRemoark TOC description and the new length exceeded 100 chars. - Fixed an image quality bug which caused images being imported to be scaled using the draft quality no matter what the setting was in Preferences. - Fixed an Access Violation which would occur after closing the RapidRemark dialog under this scenario: You drag selected text to the RapidRemark panel to save the selected text as a RapidRemark, which in turn launches the RapidRemark dialog; then, while in the RapidRemark dialog, you drag the item to a different location in the TOC and then close the dialog. (the two drag operations were actually overlapping one another) - LinkedText resolution now honors the topic heading indentation of the <$comment> tag if used. - Fixed a problem where Print Preview button could be clicked a second time while processing the first preview, causing a error about a closed dataset and the print preview would be blank. Release 1.3.A 2007-04-12 [Enhancements] - Integrated with an updated editor, version 5.22.1. - Integrated with an updated PDF generator, version 2.94. - Integrated with an updated image compression component, Version 1.8.1 (this also caused the scaling method of "nearest" to be deprecated by the Cosine method) - Improved responsiveness of user checkbox toggling when using a mouse. - Added the ability to print the report using the work view. This change also required an enhancement to be able to set a layout for a work view folder. - Enhanced image import support by allowing a configurable border to be added to all images as they are brought into WhisperReporter. The border can range anywhere from a solid border to a drop shadow, using a wide variety of colors and widths. A plain white border could even be used to simply act as an image separator without having to manually space the images apart from one another. - Added the ability to rename an image file that has been imported into the database. Simply right click on the image in the image panel and select to rename the file. - Added zoom in/out buttons for the image panel to quickly change the thumbnail size (and added an 4th "extra large" size). - Added a thumbnail image preview window. Simply right click on an image in the thumbnail panel and select "View Image" to pop up a large preview of the image. Subsequent clicking on thumbnails will show the image in the preview window while still opened. - Added an easier emailing procedure. Now upon completion of creating a PDF file of the report, WhisperReporter will prompt you whether or not you would like to email the report at this time. If you answer yes, it will prompt with email addresses used in the report to select from, and then launch the user's default email client with the report already attached and the recipients filled in. Previously, the user had to do this all manually, such as bringing up their email client, typing in the recipients' email addresses, locate the report PDF file to attach. Note that this was only tested with Outlook Express, so not sure how it will work with other email clients. - Now WhisperReporter will invoke the default web browser instead of Internet Explorer (which might be the default) when selecting the link under the Help menu to go to Whisper's web site. - Added "Map it" buttons to be able to use Google Maps to pull up a map of either the client or property address. Connection to the internet is required. - Enhanced Autonumbering of linked text items. Now the sequence number can be reset per chapter or topic and the adding of the sequence number to the source text is now optional. - Added a bug reporting module that will trap serious errors and ask you to email to us vital information we've collected to help us diagnose the problem, such as on an Access Violation. - Removed the warning about modifying Whisper distributable view/layouts. Whisper will always release new versions of views/layouts without overwriting exiting views/layouts... so this warning was unnecessary. The new version of a view/layout will have a different version number in the description. - Added example work views for each of the new Texas 7A-0 templates (existing users will have to download the new templates separately). - Added new Report Views and checkbox group for Texas 7A-0 templates to be able to suppress the optional systems. See templates with the v1.1 label. - The label "Report #" is now a hyperlink to modify a report number (this is in addition to the double-click of the report number panel and the right-click of the report number panel that has been there for a while but wasn't obvious). - Changed the application color scheme. - Corrected the sample Invoices for the Texas and California Invoice Layouts. Multiple items would not line up the costs properly. [Bug Fixes] - Corrected a problem restoring from a complete backup where it could not rename the current database to preserve in case of a failure during the restore. - Corrected a problem switching printers using the Print Dialog to select a printer from the pulldown list; the printer mode was not reset in this case. Most noticible if switching from a B/W printer to a color printer (it would print in B/W). This was not a problem if switching printers using the Printer Setup dialog. - Corrected a paragraph alignment issue for linked text merged into the report. - Corrected a situation where an access violation could occur when opening the RapidRemark View Manager or saving a comment as a RapidRemark. - Corrected an access violation if you double-clicked on the RapidRemark Panel and there were no entries in the panel. - If viewing paragraph attributes and the linked text qualifier is changed, the text is now refreshed automatically to reflect the change. - If a linked text item has a qualifier that is not in the picklist for linked text qualifiers, it will be properly shown in the linked text properties window, and you will be prompted whether you want to add it in. - Corrected the order that folders are saved when backing up individual reports or views to guarantee that root folders are backed up and restored first (precaution in case a work view is distributed to a user with an earlier WhisperReporter version that doesn't have the following fix) - Corrected a problem during a restore of individual work views where the root folder might not be restored ahead of a child folder, causing the work view to not be restored properly. Release 1.2.B 2007-02-26 - Improved Work View creation by presenting the available topics to select from when creating a chapter. This way, when you create a chapter, you can quickly create the related topics in one operation. - Corrected a problem updating the thumbnail view after editing an image. An error indicating "Invalid Image Size" popped up... referring to the updated thumbnail image. This problem was introduced in 1.2.A. Release 1.2.A 2007-02-18 - Added a set of tabs at the bottom of the image thumbnail panel list to filter the thumbnails as follows: "All", "Used" and "Not Used". The tabs can be dragged to change the order if desired. - Made a slight performance improvement in report generation. - Added the ability to specify the default font for form fields separate from the default font for the comment area. - Added the ability to sepecify a default font color - Fixed a problem where the service list's up/down arrows could be enabled even though a service was not selected. - Corrected a problem where the image captions would become disassociated with the correct image after deleting one or more images from the Image panel. - Updated database engine (8.10.0.6) for Microsoft Windows Vista support. - Database moved to a new location that is compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista. Release 1.1.B 2006-10-21 - The page number hint when using the scrollbar is now suppressed unless in Page View mode. - Corrected a situation where spellcheck corrections were not marking the comment as having been modified. - If you select to "Spellcheck All" while in the General Info area, the comment area will become visible. - If you select to "Spellcheck All", it will spellcheck using the currently selected Report or Work view navigation tree instead of always trying to use the Report View navigation tree. Release 1.1.A 2006-10-13 - First release! - For reports that have no client or property city/state set yet, e.g. new reports, it now defaults to the city and state of the inspection company instead of blank. - The "Location is same as Client's address" option no longer defaults to checked since it is more likely that the inspected address will not be the client's own address. - Fixed a problem with page numbers printed on a page if (1) a TOC was used which caused the total page count to increase once the TOC was generated, and (2) the report had multiple root chapters, i.e. chapters which restarted the page numbering at 1.
