Seems fine Michel, but please note that the 'draft email' preference when using Mapi only refers to Outlook/Express when it happily bring up my Thunderbird client.

Having said that, the first time I set it to draft email using mapi, the standard email form (I think) came up with some numbers in the various fields, and I assume it was mapping itself to Thunderbird.

Great stuff, and looking forward to v3.

Regards

Henry

Hi,

   Thanks for the feedback.

   Sorry for not being clear. The MAPI option should work with all MAPI programs: Outlook, Thunderbird, Lotus Notes, etc.

   Cheers!

FYI...

Just received some feedback who was having difficulty merging two large invoice files together:

file 1 – 2002 pages (95.5MB)
file 2 – 1984 pages (94.5MB)

He just tried the new v2.2.921, and he reported the following:

WOW AMAZING. FASTER THAN PREVIOUS VERSION.
IT REALLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

Downloaded and installed the beta v2.2.921.
I'm running on Win XP Pro with SP3.
I previously had v2.2.8 installed, and installed "on top".

1. At the end of the install, the bit about "Show the Readme" didn’t show a readme. Couldn’t swear to this, and I'm not that bothered, but think I’m right, and just flagging it for the record.

2. After installating, and then running for the first time, got an error box:

in LoadPrefs.
1. 00013 - Type mismatch
2. OK

It didn't appear when running again, so can't reproduce it, and probably not bothered about it.

3. Attachments (the meaty bit)

The beta notes say: "IMPROVED: Adding attachments remembers last location for faster navigating, and otherwise defaults to "My Documents""

Add attachment defaults to C:.

Add one attachment, then go back and add another, and it doesn’t remember the folder used for the first attachment. But at least it’s possible to select more than one file at once, and they are both added as attachments. In 2.2.8, you had to add files as attachments one by one.

If you click on "Add attachment", then click on Cancel, you get a "User Interface for PDF reDirect has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." message window, and the app closes.

The diagnostic info is:
AppName: pdf_redirect.exe AppVer: 2.2.0.921 ModName: oleaut32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.5512 Offset: 0001a9a3

I wonder if the install didn't complete successfully, as there are too many things not going right.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad tidings. If I can assist further, let me know.

Hi,

   The 1st error message, you will never get again. It's just the new entries in the preferences that raise the error messages. Obviously, I need to trap those, or add them as part of the upgrade.

   The Read Me works. It's actually the help file that should open in your browser. It might not appear if your browser and/or firewall does not allow access to your local drive.

   The attachments Cancel issue - I will look into. I have added that to my list for v2.2.922. Not something I tested, so it's probably a bug.

   I'm OK with the bad tidings. It's what will help catch the last of the problems before releasing the program for good.

   Thanks!

It looses values after the comma if the focus of the field is lost.
i.e
45,3 -> 45,0
7,7 -> 7,0

Hi MrX1980,

   Thanks for all of the bug reports.

   When you 1st install the beta, you will get two (minor) error messages if you are upgrading from v2.2.8. They do not affect anything, and they will not come back. I have fixed this in the new beta (v2.2.922) which will be out this weekend.

   The encrypted file picture screenshot is simply that the settings you have in the red box can only be set for files in the "Merge List" which are new printer output files. If the raw data from the printer is lost, then the options to change the rotation or the quality are not available.

   I'll take a look at the "register" error. It worked for me, but I'll go re-test.

   The page size data loses it's value after the comma. It works for me, but in the US, we use a period, not a comma (ie 7.2 instead of 7,2) - so I will test with a European regional setting - and see if I can fix the problem.

    Thanks for the help. I appreciate your feedback.

   Cheers!

Hi,

   Actually no, just a different kind of problem. My hard drives failed about two weeks ago. I did a reformat, and re-installed the latest backup. It lasted a few days, and failed again. I tried again to rebuild, but then they started failing every day.

   It turns out that these drives are part of a "bad batch", and are being replaced under warranty. I went out on the 15th and got a temporary replacement drive for now until the main ones come back from the vendor. So at least, I am "operational" again.

   The good news is that the data drives that contain all of the code for PDF reDirect were not affected, and I have resumed work, mostly finalizing the new help files, and have been making good progress. It should be another week.

   Cheers!

I should also point out that I did lose 3 e-mails, so my apologies to these 3 people to whom I never responded. Unhappy

Hello,
love the application and only small problems with this beta.

I somehow managed to make an error when I installed this Pro version on a new computer (and I don't remember what I did) So in the Merge List part , I have a Swedish version so please bear with me, it says something like "unregistered (%day(s) remaining) but it is registered. What can I do to correct that?

I also have a suggestion, in the same part, it would be perfect to have the possibillity to print all created pdfs without first having to save them.

Thanks

Hi,

   I think that v2.2.922 has fixed the bugs that were remaining with v2.2.21. You can get it [here].

   For the registration question: you may need to re-enter your license key.

   Cheers!
