QDT Release Notes Release v0.61d/0.62b 01-02-05 jdh ====================================================================== _____________________________ Known Errata Folders - resizing a window to the very max that a screen can hold may keep it displaying correctly -> do not try to make any folder as large as your screen -> if this happens, exit QDT without saving the desktop >> will be fixed in next release - renaming by doing a right mouse click on the text within a folder amy crashes QL (always does in Beta release, intermittent in demo) -> menu option and desktop objects are also less stable but rarer -> rename only from notebook (should be safer) >> CONFIRMED: will be fixed in next release - changing the folder title - if you exceed 32 characters it may corrupt the folder display or crash QDT -> quit QDT without saving the desktop and restart it >> CONFIRMED: will be fixed in next release - moving and dropping an icon to the very left edge of the folder makes it seem to disappear -> please leave a small bit of room to the left of an icon when moving -> if this happens, do NOT save your desktop; Quit without saving >> CONFIRMED: will be fixed in next release - with a folder with no horizontal scroll bars, move an icon far enough to the right where a scroll bar appears, drag the icon back where the scroll bar should disappear. This will mess up the functionality of the horizontal scroll bar. -> try refreshing the folder -> at worse close and reopen the folder -> resizing after such a move should also fix the operation >> CONFIRMED: will be fixed in next release - moving and dropping an icon too low in a folder window without a vertical scroll bar will seem to make the icon disappear and the vertical scroll bar will not appear. -> resize the window taller and the icon will reappear -> if this happens with the scroll bar, scroll the window to get the icon back or resize the window a bit >> CONFIRMED: will be fixed in next release - shortcut key to close window [CNTR F1] may not work on all systems Text Entry - occasionally during a text entry, doing a backspace after typing will cause the first character to be incorrect and other characters to be off by one to the right -> continue typing as if the characters are still in their correct position and do a RETURN as normal, text should be OK -> ESC and retry >> CONFIRMED: will be fixed in next release Notebook - if changing an Icon from a notebook, the folder/desktop version may update to the incorrect one [rare]. -> verify that the change took place by reopening the notebook . it will be correct there -> save and restart the desktop if it is correct - underlines for shortcut keys in buttons disappear after being selected the first time -> the shortcut keys still function -> change the page and come back, the underlines will be back >> CONFIRMED: fix is pending IconDraw - the live update icon window may have an overlapping row of verical pixels about 2/3 the way across the window. The main drawing window is correct. >> CONFIRMED: fix is pending _____________________________ Unimplemented Features QDT is a work definitely in progress.
