AZZ Cardfile Blog

Thanks to all beta testers for their generous contribution, there are about 60 small and more significant bugs to fix. Antanas is at about 30 currently.

Some insight on what has been done.

(I will publish only the first name of betatester for privacy reasons)

From Marten:

I have azzcardfile setup for a blind-user in a more friendly way: without custom controls, without extra toolbars etc. When starting it, the focus is placed in the search-field. I am using it as addressbook. When typing a name, that doesn’t exist in the addressbook and pressing arrow down, to land in the list, the list is empty as it must be, because the result-list will be empty. When pressing f6 at this moment, you will get an error.

Another thing:
when opening the addresslist and when searching by ctrl-f in the list and field for a string that does not exist, azzcardfile tells me not, that the string is not found, but says end of searching or so. Maybe it can tell, that it is not found. Also: when pressing ctrl-f to search and than ctrl-v to paste, nothing happens. Ctrl-v is not working here. When pressing the right mouse button, paste is possible, but not with the keyboard-shortcut.
Regards, Marten

All fixed Marten, thank you!

From Nick:

I’m having more problems with this Beta 4 version.
1) I can’t seem to quickly enlarge the text size. Why can’t I hold the mouse button down and use my scroll wheel to enlarge and decrease the font size on my
screen?

Working on this

2) When I highlight text, and then go to the font size, and type “20″ and hit [enter], nothing happens. I must actually scroll down to the font size 20 and
click with my mouse to change the font size. Why can’t I hit the [enter] button to do the same thing?

Fixed

From Steve:

Just noticed another pain with version 4: you have removed the useful superscript and subscript formating. (or perhaps its just hidden)

Fixed

From Pierre:

Hello, Azz Cardfile 3.2 is a great software.

Since I am getting older, my eyes are not as good as they use to be (LOL).

Will version 4 offer the possibility of larger menu icons ?

It would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, Pierre

Large Icons - later, perhaps in next update, lots of work and we want to release final bug-free 4.0 as soon as possible. Hope you understand.

From Jason:

A few comments on the beta of AZZ Version 4 beta c, 2007.06.06.

When I have text entered in the top left header filter box and a filtered list is displayed…. and I also have the cursor in the text of the card… and if I then hit the “X” Clear button (to find another card), the cursor ends up in the top left of the first card in the cardfile. By this point I am already entering the new header filter text, and this gets entered by mistake into the text of the first card. Could you have the cursor revert to the filter box when the “X” Clear button is pressed. It is more intuitive.

This version seems to take a very long time to load with a 20+ MB cardfile…. just an observation.

Thanks for the beta version!

All the best,

Jason

Fixed, thanks!

From Steve:

Here is an major interesting bug:

I copied a credit card number that had the last four digits highlighed in yellow background color. (all the numbers were not bold) than I pasted it into another card in the same file. the first 12 digits appeared in bold face and the last four digits appeared not bold ,without the color highlight ,and as superscript raised above the line.

I checked this several times and it does the same thing.

However when I cut and paste into the same card it does it correctly.

—————
WOW
I just tried it again pasting into a different card and it wouldnt paste at all!

than I just did another number with same highlighting and pasted into yet a different card and it did something different. This time it left the first 12 numbers in normal type face and highlited them in green (origonal had no highlighting on those numbers) and the last four numbers were not highlighted( original was highlited in yellow) but increased the size of the font (on the line this time)

After trying this out a bunch of times : It wont paste at all into a card that had no previous highlighting in it. and It will paste into a card that has something already highlighted but it makes the strange variations as described above.

FYI this file was origonally a version 3 that was transfered to version 4.

I have not tried this with a “virgin” version 4.

Hopefully fixed, needs more testing. Steve, thank you very much for detailed description.

From Andrew:

Why does Cardfile Beta version print an extra blank page at the end of every print-out?

Sorry, can’t reproduce, need more detailed step-by-step report.
