Hi Simon,I have tested yWriter7 right now on Windows 7 (german locale). Here my short first feedback:
- yWriter 5 project import and conversion into yW7 format seems o.k. so far. I saved as yW7 and deleted any yW5 file as well as the whole RTF5 folder. No problem on reopening the project.
- The way back to yW5 format did not work. I changed the project settings from yW7 to yW5 (just after program start without any previous actions) and saved the project. A yW5 project file was generated, but only 5 empty RTF files (from 38 scenes). On yWriter5 startup, the project could not be loaded. yWriter5 displayed an error messaging form which I did not send (hopefully).
- HTML export is o.k.
- On startup, there is a OS warning in German meaning "unknown publisher" This message can be suppressed.
- On startup, there is a yWriter messagebox saying "Cannot perform Alternate backup as the Alt backup folder has not been specified".
- Editor settings: "Choose default font" has no effect.
- Displayed font size is rather small at first view on my notebook screen, but can be adjusted easily with Ctrl-Mousewheel. On closing the editor window and reopening, the font size is small again. Same to switching scenes via Next button: Font size adjustage is lost.
- All displayed project metadata such as chapter/ scene/ character/ location names and descriptions are displayed with a wrong encoding. That means, all german special characters are substituted- by question mark symbols. yWriter5 project files are ANSI encoded. yWriter7 project files seem to be UTF-8 encoded. I converted an yWriter5 project file into UTF-8 and let yWriter7 load it -- problem solved (by the way: yWriter5 loads UTF8 encoded projects as well and displays them the right way, but saves them ANSI encoded). The project file's xml encoding information seems not to be processed.
Good luck and thank you for all the effort,Peter
