Known problems in version 6.1.4.2: (list updated on Sep 14, 2008)
Update 6.1.4.2 released (June 24, 2008): We have released an update that fixes the links problem mentioned below. If you are still using 6.1.4, please update your copy from the support area. In addition, this version also has much improved link processing for the text pasted from Internet Explorer.
Known problems in older version 6.1.4:
- If you see any corruption of links in the new or old documents, please stop using this version and let us know immediately. The corruption can look like < > appearing around the links. We are working on this and hope to release an update soon.
New features and improvements in 6.1.4:
The following list gives the history of even minor fixes in this version. Instead, you may want to see a nice description of only major new features in 6.1 available at http://whizfolders.com/whizfolders61.aspx.
- Copying a Run command to open a note: Some times, you just need to get a run command that you can use in another application to start WhizFolders, positioned on a particular note. You can do that by the “Copy Run Command” operation on the Tools menu. You can simply paste the copied command in the other application that supports executing a run command.
- When you perform an “Insert Favorites” type Links operation in the topic list, the target used is the final web address instead of the url file. This makes sure that if you move that document to another computer, the links still work.
- When you insert links in the topic list, certain help text is inserted to show how the link works. You can now disable this automatic insertion of help text in a miscellaneous general option.
- For advanced users who can see and understand the targets of web links in Internet Explorer: The web links in the pasted rich text from Internet Explorer only work if full web addresses are provided in the links by the web designer. Otherwise, it doesn’t work because the browser does not put the complete resolved web address (a bug in the browser) in the links of the copy. To solve this problem, WhizFolders can now resolve such links with the help of a common base web address that you need to manually insert in the first line of such a topic that contains the pasted web text. So whenever you paste some rich text from Internet Explorer, check if the links work. If they don’t, find the base address by comparing the link’s target with that in the original link in the browser and then put it in the first line of the topic. Repeat till you get it right.
Fixes in 6.1.4:
- The Numeric List button had stopped working properly in the Editor. Fixed this.
- Fixed “Insert a Favorites Folder” operation in that it didn’t position the file dialog in the proper favorites folder to start with.
- Inserting new Jump links in rich text pasted from Internet Explorer sometimes caused strange problems. Fixed.
- Drag and drop of web address links from Internet Explorer 7 to the topic list does not work on Vista if you are not running Internet Explorer as admin. WhizFolders now catches this problem and suggests the solution.
- If a document was set up to use automatic date or time prefix in the topic name, it broke the link insertion in the topic list because the prefix was inserted before ~~jumpfile. This is now fixed.
- Fixed occasional error, “List Index out of Bounds.”
- In a rare case, an access violation occurred when a topic was inserted at the end of a topic list. This is now fixed.
