Features to implement/fix

waiting for sign-off by end user completed

Menu item Feature/Problem Comments
1 Slow uploading. SFTP re-opening connection for each file agree, will look
2 Cannot open .mdb files with Access 2016 this is unfixable, I think.
The problem is that Access2016 can not read old JET2 files
But VB6 can *only* read Jet2 format
Is Access for writing your own reports ?
3 Default Sites Screen Sort not saving (eg. LPRBDATE descending, Site Number) will check
5 Automatic download at startup - 'file-not-found' are you still using this ?
I though you were using DropBox, or Google Drive ?
do you get the same error with FileMenu/Transfer ?
6 Save symbol size not working AC
RZ styles - UPPER/LOWER shading GD
6a Variables RZ2FULL, etc AC
Doco: formulas edit GPT files
6b deploy usefull to highlight items, but <save> needs to be disabled
7 Often when closing PRWIN3 and then trying to reopen get an error 'PRWIN3 already running'
need to restart PC to be able to open PRWIN3
we should be grateful to MS that it is running at all on W10
actually, I get same problem with Firefox - takes ages to cleanup it's act after FileMenu/Close
alt_ctrl+del still brings up TaskManager, and you can kill apps without need to re-boot
8 output to pdf for each grower/farm ie. create *.rpt file to use our pdf printer to create pdf versions of report
And email to growers as an attachment by farm.
Prwin 'knows' nothing about the print-to-pdf files, doesn't know what they are called
What are the pdf's called ?
Could attach/embed report.png's to email ?
9 Would it be possible to make a change whereby when exporting Readings to a file
, and you have Append selected,
not to ask to confirm the file name for each site ?
will look
10 tab: Gauges width adjustable by user
doco
prwin.css
in progress
11 1. predicted rainfalls GD
2. Automatic download at startup
3. Implement [Sites.RegionID]
4. Implement [Farms.RegionD], to all sites
5. doco
12 Comment function is used very frequently
Could this be a free text box in the area where comments show on graph rather than a double click from 'graphs'- 'comments'
Very difficult as it is a separate 'window'
Can it be dragged on top of the comment area on graph, and resized ?
ie could we save/restore the position and size ?
13 LOWER LIMIT start label not correct fixed
14 Pause-at-each-site: , not working AC
15 Post over N days - (as in PRWIN1) AC
16 Elite - intermittent problems
17 Import GPS coordinates FarmsMenu/GPS, ReadingsMenu/Predictions
18 same Gauge and Profile code to be used in .gpt file ???
18 cannot copy YS from previous season, so 'cannot set last season'
CopyPRDatabase() Object not valid
UPDATE SITES SET LOCATIONID=0
Clear [SITES.COMMENT]

More Bugs

ID U Problem RSNE ver date
41 Is it possible to have the Date (LPRBDATE?) in the file name schedule.htm? The intention would be that growers could look at historical schedules and graph files How do growers access historical reports ? Looking at RSS format
103 Maximise Graph, when opening a graph Maximise Sites, when opening sites screen
123 FileMenu/PrintExport/Readings Would it be possible to make a change whereby when exporting Readings to a file, and you have Append selected, not to ask to confirm the file name for each site?! Not Sorted Yet - wish list)
132 Importing Keydata Overflow Sort data 6 error (from Brendan))

211 Grapes.kc error (will send trace file on site 1611 Brendan's PC)

Functionality wishlist

I think 2 and 3 are not possible, but 1 and 2 would be great if possible

1 -Would be beneficial to be able to use the mouse scroll button to be able to scroll up and down through the sites list. Mouse Scroll good idea
2 Could PRWIN check against the server that the latest versions of databases are being used and alert if not?
Alternatively, automatically update to latest database?
Alternatively, show time/date of database version?
Database versions- great idea, can almost do this now but have been very wary as could automatically stuff it up if we hadn't got our timing of SEND's right. If there is some wat to check 'latest version' this should work -
3 Think it says it all! An undo or back button similar to other windows programs would solve a lot of headaches from inadvertent deletes etc. Undo button GREAT IDEA! But not possible
4 Comment function is used very frequently- could this be a free text box in the area where comments show rather than a double click from 'graphs'- 'comments' Comments - great idea
