NV2 Build Changes/Improvements:
When you use the Print>All or Print>Block to print all or part of a table, a print settings dialog appears. A Template field has been added to this dialog to allow for the control of margins, fonts, page centering, etc.
July 2005 Canada payroll update is included.
Prior to this release you could manually resize a "restored" window to occupy the full space available in its parent window. Some users were doing this, forgetting it, and later becoming confused about how to restore the window. Now it is always possible to tell whether a window is in its maximized or restored state.
The window setup for the root journal now includes a Journals Explorer in its window list. This provides a table of all leaf journals. A leaf journal has no sub-journals and is the place where you add transactions. This provides a "nice" place to review all the journals you use for transaction work.
The new window will not appear until you right-click on the journal title bar (i.e. beside the window list button) and issue the Window>Default Setup command.
There are a number of reasons you might date orders in the future, such as anticipated delivery dates and it makes sense to have a column for these orders.
The new column will not appear until you right-click on the account table title bar (i.e. beside the window list button) and issue the Window>Default Setup command.
Progress windows are displayed when a user is performing a long-duration all-or-nothing operation such as deleting a block or rows. In prior releases these progress windows were displayed only when single-user but now are also displayed "across the net" when multi-user.
The NewViews program takes a while to load so we added a startup banner to indicate it is loading.
The NewViews runtime environment was creating tempory files in the temporary directory. NewViews now performs a better cleanup of these temporary files. Otherwise your disk would slowly evaporate. The path to the temporary directory is now displayed in the about box. It would be a good idea to delete everything you can from this directory as files may have accumulated from prior versions. NewViews will continue to use the temporary directory but the amount of disk space consumed will no longer grow due to the better cleanup.
An error could be inadvertantly displayed when you Control-Click on the column title for a date field in order to "home in" on a particular date by typing. The problem was associated with the fact that NewViews only accepts dates in the range 1903 to 2037. This limit is a "temporary" restriction that is scheduled to be removed in a future release of NewViews. The error would occur when you start homing in on a date by typing "1" which places the date in the 1900's, (a normal thing to do considering many dates will be prior to 2000). But this "1" was being extended internally to the year 1000, which (temporarily) represents an invalid date outside the allowed 1903 - 2037 yange.
This problem has been fixed in this release.
