Hello,

When copying/pasting a table from Excel in comments (Rich Text mode), then putting a shortcut link after (to a file, an Outlook email ...), the hyperlink generated doesn't feet properly and doesn't work properly.

The problem doesn't occur in Simple text mode, so I can use the link anyway by switching between the two modes ...

Regards,

[.dan.g.]

Thanks Koruneko.

This has been reported before but the fix is quite substantial so I won't be releasing it until 7.3.

[Koruneko]

OK Thanks.

BUG: Gantt Chart: Taskinfo Columns resized before executing "Save Task View to Image"

Hi Dan,

I'm back from holidays and just got to working with the new RC. So this is what I found ;)

If I export the Task view to an Image, after I arranged the view and executed the "save to" command the column width is resized.

For Start and Due Dates for example I only use "DD.MM" Format.

With the automated column resizing it is not possible to Export a Gantt Plan with that Format.

Before "save to Image"

After "save to Image"

The saved Image itself has an error in the alignment of the column Separators between the head and following seperators.

cheers

Under "Options - Language" there is the button "Edit..."

It only starts the translation tool, but it does not load a language file. Is it intended or no

[Pierre de la Verre]

I have a new tasklist with only one task which starts at "01.03.2019" (March) - the export to Gantt-project shows a start-date one day before - at 28.02.2019. Same with start 01.01.2019 - export creates a start at 31.12.2018.

A start at 01.04.2019 stays correct at first of April .. ??

Thanks for reposting Peter.

This is a daylight saving issue which was fixed elsewhere but not here. Good catch.

[.dan.g.]

Thanks Peter.

The problem is that I forgot to double-quote the language file path and it contains spaces!

>>  With the automated column resizing it is not possible to Export a Gantt Plan with that Format.

True. And unfortunately the column resizing is IMO the better of the two possibilities.

My reasoning is that people typically resize columns smaller because of a lack of horizontal space, and so when producing the image I decided to recalculate the full width of the columns.

However, I will fix the alignment of the column header for the next update.

Hmm, I'm not able to reproduce this...

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. Are you referring to the fact that the previous column widths are not restored afterwards?

Sorry Mikro, I am completely wrong in what I said!

In the Task Tree and List View none of the columns get resized except the task Title, and all other views should be consistent with this.

Hi Dan,

In my case the horizontal space space issue is my point why I would enable resized columns.

The 'missing' year Information would covered with the gantt chart. 

But ok, that's a design decision.

Bug: Opening multiple lists via explorer or file Dialog in quick succession instantiates multiple ToDoList windows though porperties option 'allow multiple instances' is not checked.

Hi Dan,

verifing your fix for the disabled network Connection I noticed that opening 5 lists from the windows taskbar sticky files in quick succesion, meaning before the previously selected list is fully loaded, results in multiple open ToDoList windows even though the preference option is not set to allow that.

Seems like a minor issue to me so no worries, but maby you would like to address that.

Cheers

See my later comment in the original thread

[.dan.g.]

There are a number of ways to detect existing instances and my current method depends on the main window of any existing instance being communicative, which takes a bit longer to achieve..

In the past I also used another method which detected the existence of a system-wide token that is created by the first instance. I must have refactored it out without understanding its importance.

I'll see what I can do.

BUG: Category Filter generates hits on partial matches.

Hi Dan,

just noticed the following bug.

A tasklist features categories "Projekt" and "Projektplan".

If I apply "Projektplan" in the category filter I get the expected results of tasks having "Projektplan" set as category.

If I apply "Projekt" as filter criteria I get all tasks having "Projekt" set as well as all tasks featuring "Projektplan".

Example tdl list attached.

I assume the filter by error checks for partial matches in the list.

cheers

Thx Mikro, it's actually an old bug that I hadn't previously been able to figure out the best fix for.

But now you have highlighted it I find the solution is quite easy!

[mikro]

Sometimes a little while and a different angle are all it takes ;). Glad I could help!
