Version 1.2.0 :

Update at 05/05/97

 

• Correction
  • Doctor
    • Correction of a bug which crashed the application when opening a very damaged structure (and manually repaired!).
      (Bad size of table types, wrong number of types, wrong number of resources for a type)
      (Thanks to Maurice Inzirillo AJAR SA and to Antoine Ducrey - Switzerland)
  • Editor
    • The first methods of 4Dv5 were the same format as 4Dv4. Rescue For 4D recognizes neither the v4 methods nor the first versions of 5. (It is inferior to v5.1)
      (SNECMA)
    • Correction of a bug in the construction of the sub-structures name.
      (Thanks to Thibaud Arguillere - SOS Medecins Sud - La Réunion)
    • When searching for a precise type (as in selecting the resource column in the resource list), if there was only one resource with this type, the search would sometimes never finish.
    • If the text being searched was too large, the text zone of the search's editor did not automatically create a line feed.
• Addition
  • General
    • Works with 4D Version 6.
    • Now recognizes objects V6 PIC#, PICT, FGS#, FGps, List, mem!, xfon, HExx and DBPR.
    • Now recognizes the new V6 form of LE4D, FI4D, LiHe and HE4D.
  • Doctor
    • The link CC4D -> FO4D (Layout methods) is now checked.
    • The link CC4D -> FI4D (Table Methods) is now checked.
    • The link DBPR <-> CC4D (Database Methods) is now checked.
    • The link LE4D <-> List (list of v6) is now checked.
    • The link FI4D -> List (Enumeration of fields) is now checked.
    • Crossing test between PIC# <-> PICT (v6)
    • Crossing test between FGS# <-> FGps (v6)
    • Crossing test between FGps -> PICT (v6)
    • Crossing test between FI4D <-> FI4D for v6 is now implemented.
  • Editor
    • Version 6 now has some additional resources. The type list becomes longer and more confused.This is the reason we have added a new check box in the zone "Types", "Show All".
      If this box is unchecked, only the important types of 4D are displayed in the Editor types list. The box is checked by default and will allow you to see all the 4D types. This option has no effect on the Doctor.
    • The link CC4D -> FO4D (Layout methods) is now made. You can see the name of Form in the CC4D list (If it's a Layout methods, of course.)
    • The link CC4D -> FI4D (Table Methods) is now made. You can see the name of fields in the CC4D list (If it's a Table Methods, of course.)
    • The link DBPR -> CC4D (Database Methods (v6)) is now made. You can see the name of this procedure type in the CC4D list
    • The link FGps -> FGS# (FormTemplate (v6)) is now made. You can see the name of templates in the FGps list.
    • The link LE4D -> List (v6 list) is now made. You can see the name of enumeration in the List list.
    • The link FI4D -> FI4D for the v6 is now implemented. You can see the name of sub-structures in the FI4D list. (v6)
    • The Insider v6 objects are documented (HExx).
    • The QTxx type is now documented (QuickTime compression parameters for the picture fields).
