SoftCAT version 5.20 is now available for download. This is a free upgrade to users of version 5.

Changes in version 5.20:

• Updated the layout of all explorer templates.
• Updated and fine-tuned all standard reports.
• Print List: Various enhancements to layout of generated report.
• Updated to latest version of the report engine.
• Report: Added a 'Prevent orphans' setting for groups. When this setting is activated, group headers that would appear at the bottom of a page without corresponding detail, will be moved to the top of the next page. Group footers that would print alone at the top of a page, will have the last detail of the prior page moved to the top of the page, followed by the group footer.
• Report: Added an outline list in the 'Print Preview' window. This list shows the values of the first report group, and allows you to quickly go to a specific page.
• Report: Printing to PDF creates smaller PDF files (better image compression).
• Report: Better quality output when printing to HTML. All report pages are now generated in one single HTML file.
• Report: More accurate positioning of report objects when printing to MS Word file.
• Report: Print to File: Better support for printing to Excel files. No longer "Excel found unreadable content" error when opening file in Excel 2007/10.
• Report: Added a "If empty" property for memo fields.
• Quick Search: Now searches image filename, image notes, file links and web links.
• Lookup View: Show Programs command will now show programs linked to *all* selected lookup records.
• Pressing F1 will open help file in Report Designer and Form Designer.
• FIXED: Error when sorting on the New Program field.
• FIXED: Print List: Width of last column not set correctly when 'Adjust columns to fit page width' was selected.
• FIXED: Report: Problem setting width of text labels from Properties window.
• FIXED: Report: Selected font not always used when printing a DBXsl field ("Times Roman" used instead).
• FIXED: Search: Show Previous/Next commands did not work if quick search was active.
• FIXED: Problem with dates if date separator was set to space in Windows Control Panel.
• FIXED: Problem with TWAIN image scanning if more than 3 scanner devices installed.
• FIXED: The system tray launcher app was unable to find the database if database was located outside the default database folder.
• Fixed a couple of typos in the sample database.
• Various other fixes and enhancements.

Hi Fredrik.

I noticed that there is no smaller "Update" version, as there has been in all of the other CAT programs. Is this a major change?

Thanks!

Jim

No, there is no "update patch".
