Bug fix release v9.0.6 is now available

[Jean Lalonde]

I did weekly bug fixes updates in the last weeks. As I'm soon leaving for vacation, there should not be new release before the end of July, unless a serious bug is found before I leave.

This release v9.0.6 is more that a bug fix release. As I was fixing a bug with Shared menu, I decided to improve support for cloud services.

Version: 9.0.6 (2018-06-10)

 

Shared menus and Time zones

- shared menus now fully support menus saved on cloud shared drive (Dropbox, etc.) when users are working accross different time zones

  - note 1: before v9.0.6, sharing menus on cloud drives was possible but some modification alerts could be skipped or sent at inapropriate time

  - note 2: there never was issue when sharing menus using network drives because the file's timestamp is the same for all users regardless of time zone

- add to add/edit shared menu the "Drive hosting the shared menu":

  - "Network" (default option, backward compatible pre-v9.0.6), get last modified time of shared menu from file's date-time

  - "Cloud" option (Dropbox, Gogle Drive, OneDrive, etc.), get modification time from each PC's UTC time (for better sync messaging, users shold sync their clocks on a time server)

 

Shared menus refreshing

- before showing the "Settings" window, refresh all external menus that were changed since last load and rebuild main menu

- in "Settings", when opening a shared menu, check if the menu was modified by another user and, if yes, refresh it before displaying it and rebuild the main menu

- when changing a favorite in a shared menu and the menu was modified by another user since last load (should be very rare), refresh and reload the menu, rebuild the main menu and inform user that its last change cannot be saved

- when loading a shared menu, if it is already locked by the current user (because something unexpected happened and the lock was not released previously), unlock the menu immediately

 

Various

- display tooltips during saving favorites and rebuilding the menu (not only when rebuilding)

- sound debug beep also when refreshing shared menus and live folders on-demand

Hi Jan,

Could follow-up on this issue? Did you solve it? Was it caused using QAP Settings window or because you did changes manually in the settings file?
