OrganiZator's english Blog

Está disponible para descarga la versión 5.6.4

El motivo de esta actualización es corregir una inconsistencia en el Bloc de Notas, donde al seleccionar “Cancelar” después de haber efectuado algún cambio, al volver a invocar el Bloc, este aparecía como si los cambios se mantuviesen, aunque en realidad, la apariencia solo se mantenía durante la sesión actual de trabajo. Si se salía de la aplicación y se volvía a entrar, podía comprobarse que los cambios no se habían conservado. La modificación introducida hace que el comportamiento sea más acorde con las expectativas del usuario. Ahora, si después de algunos cambios se selecciona “Cancelar” y se vuelve al Bloc en la misma sesión de trabajo, se comprueba que los últimos cambios no se han conservado.

The version 5.6.3 is available for download

* This version corrects a problem in the creation/modification of events on the Scheduler, which featured a false error message when you create/ modify the first item (despite the warning, the operation was done correctly). It also corrects a inconsistency when modifying Appointments and Expiry dates, in which the initial time and forewarn was lost when making a modification, so that it was necessary to re-enter that data.

* It has been improved the description of the errors provided by the routine to maintain the Initial Parameters. When you enter a wrong path to the Mailbox; the Historic files, or the Backup directory, the message identifies which of them is incorrect.

It is available for download the version 5.6.2

* It corrects an error that could potentially hide data when moving items from one group to another group of dBase, and the target depends on the source (the target group is a descendant of the source). Such movements creates a logical inconsistency that deal in the disappearance from the user interface of the moved group and all its descendants, thus becoming inaccessible (tantamount to try graft a branch of a tree in anyplace of itself -the cut of the branch for graft make it disappears from the tree, and then can not be accessed from any point of the original the tree or from any other-). The new version includes a control that warns about the inconsistency and does not allow the movement.

* The new version also includes the possibility that, when making numerical/date calculations in dBase, the values used can be in any position within the item itself (in previous versions these calculations always refer to the values at the beginning of the title) . To this, has been included the possibility of selecting the hypothetical column within the item containing the data to consider, as well as define the character or characters (up to five different) we assume that act as column’s separators in the title.

It is available for download the version 5.6.1.

* The main reason of this release is the correction of an error detected in the earlier version by which, in the Notebook and in the Note/Memo fields of dBase, it is not possible cut/copy text to the clipboard if the selection includes characters behind the position 65,535. Of course this can only happen if the content of the field exceeds 64 KB.

* In addition to the correction above, it has been included the ability to perform calculations in the window of results (contextual menu in the auxiliary bottom window). This option allows interesting possibilities, since the items in this window are the result of a search (implement a condition over the whole dBase or any part thereof).

It is available for download the version 5.6.0

This release fixes two problems found in previous versions:

* Ability to cause a fatal error when attempting certain operations (for example, import files) who pertain to the clipboard.

* Ability to cause a fatal error when attempting to import some very large BLOB objects as a result of the lack of enough contiguous memory in the system.

Besides the previous ones, we have incorporated significant improvements, the details of which can be seen on the corresponding page (Change Log). These include:

* It has been improved the mechanism for import BLOB objects, so that now can be included in the Zator’s database objects of any size -in the tests carried out, we have included without problem objects with more than 472 MB in size (483,571,471 bytes)-

* It has been included an option to export (restore back) these BLOB objects to external files.

* We have included new options to import/export data to/from OrganiZator, with external files and with the clipboard. This lead the user to a much more comfortable working with external applications or data.

* We have extraordinarily expedited jump movements. For example, when from a bottom window (of links) we want to go to the corresponding item (option “Jump to this item”).

* In the help window (About Zator) has been included information about the use in the dBase connected at the time in the main area. This lead to a much more friendly use of the standard version (unregistered), because the user can easily ascertain the margin available in each dBase.

It is available for download the version 5.5.0.

Besides correcting the known problems in the previous version, the 5.5 incorporate significant improvements. Perhaps one of the most significant is that the capacity of the Memo/Note fields of dBase has been expanded up to 1.5 MB. (In previous versions the maximum size of these fields is 32 KB). There are also new and improved options to search, move and delete objects in dBase.

Note: due the lack of time, some of the new options are not yet documented (not yet in the on-line manual). Although in some cases their operation is fairly intuitive, we will try to comment them in the manual as soon as possible. While the relevant documentation is not available, we recommend visit the Change Log page, which contains basic information about the new options.

* After using the command “Count words/Character” in the Note/Memo fields of dBase, the application presents a problem of stability and any subsequent movement can produce a fatal error (not recoverable). The problem is solved in the version to be released shortly. The only way to avoid this is not to use that option.

* In some cases it can happen that after a print of some dBase content, the Log field result misplaced on the screen. The only significance is that the contents of the Log is difficult to see as it is overshadowed by the upper windows. The solution is to exit and restart the program.

Users of version 5.4.0.305 (english build 305) should download and instal again the version 5.4.0 (currently english build 317) to avoid a bug in the mechanism un-do/re-do of dBase.

The 317 build also correct a bug in the english version; when creating an account entry, pressing [Alt]+[E] or [Alt]+[C] now automatically settle the annotation (Close/End it) as documented.

It is available the version 5.4.0, which includes various improvements in dBase.

* Has been added a context menu to the un-do/re-do buttons of dBase, so that in addition to revisiting the last positions and un-do the way, it is now possible to jump directly to any of the 20 previous positions without having to visit the intermediate steps.

* It has added the option of counting characters/words in the Note/Memo fields of dBase.

* It has added the option of setting initial and final dates for calculations of account balance, so that it is now possible to know the value in a specified interval. Likewise, the accounts listings also allow define the beginning/end of account entries that will be included in the list. Thus it is possible to obtain the list of movements of a given period.

* It has been improved text search/replace in the Memo/Note fields, so that now function properly. In previous versions there not work properly the options “Match case”, “Match whole word” and “Search backward”.

* The windows to enter dates retain the last value selected, making it easier to introduce new dates if they are the same as the last one.

* The windows to search text retain the last search string used, which facilitates subsequent searches.

The version 5.3.5 is available to download, with various improvements in the dBase:

* By default, the contents of the Log appear sorted by date (in previous versions the content appears on the order of creation and to sort by dates you must click on the appropriate section of the title bar).

* In general listings that includes Logger data, the latter are printed ordered by date.

* Fixed a bug on the windows of results of searches on Logs and eDir fields where clicking in the title bar, the corresponding columns does not appear correctly ordered according to its content.

* The user interface has been improved, thereby eliminating the buttons to widening/narrowing the main windows of dBase (upper row). It is now possible to widen and strengthen these windows individually dragging their vertical edges with the mouse. At the same time, it is possible to width/marrow jointly these windows by dragging the bottom and right edges of the root window (first left on the top row). This new option, along with redistributing the bottom by dragging the edges of the Log window, allows that all the main window of the dBase can be configured according to the user preferences.

By cliquing successively with the mouse on the auxiliary windows of Links, it is possible to widen/narrow individually these windows. In the upper windows can be achieved the same effect by successively clicking in auxiliary window of the root, although in the latter case, the change affects all upper windows.
