-
Clicking 'X' on the toolbar would close the program
without an error message when trying to delete the
contents of a cell.
-
If
you closed the Select Field dialog with the X in its
titlebar, SKY Index closed too.
-
If
both 'see' and 'see also' cross-references exist for
the same entry, it was not flagged as an error when
using Error Scan.
-
When a user has Windows setup with a locality that
uses a period for separating thousands and a comma
for separating the decimal portion of a number, SKY
Index's configuration dialogs would fail to handle
numbers with a fraction correctly.
-
Cut
and paste: Cut and paste did not always work as
expected when trying to copy and paste from/to other
programs.
-
Quotes in cross-references did not get ignored when
they should be.
-
If
you have the following: “/i1IPconfig
command/i0” and I want to change it to: “IPconfig
utility”. If you edit "command" and change it to
"utility", then use F2 to change modes and
simultaneously highlight the entire cell quickly,
then use Alt+F10 to remove the underlining. The
underlining was removed but "utility" was also
changed back to "command".
-
If
the program window was sized to be very narrow,
anything that uses the progress bar would crash the
program.
-
The
program is now compatible with Windows Vista.
-
When in Edit Mode, the fonts did not always match
what was seen in View Mode.
-
Having a duplicate record with a page range i.e.
38-40, 38-40, would report a reference within range
error when no error should have been reported.
-
If
you type an entry that should cause an Automatic
Entry and the subheading contains a trailing ignored
word, the entry would not be automatically
duplicated and swapped.
-
When importing a CINDEX file that has
cross-references with a comma and a space, the space
after the comma was removed.
-
Characters in the Extended ASCII character set did
not import or export correctly when using Cindex DAT
files.
-
The
Find pattern: <ants> would erroneously match
'giants'.
-
if
you have an entry for Saint Paul's Cathedral, and
have hidden the "ain" of "Saint" so that it comes
out as St but sorts as Saint, whenever you type
another entry starting with S, autocomplete comes
out with Saint Paul's Cathedral including the hidden
formatting and when you continue to type e.g.
t,a,n,f,o,r,d for Stanford, the rest of the word
comes out as hidden when it should not.
-
1,
2, 3 = 1-3: the combination of 111, 112-115 causes
an error and results in: 111-112
-
When demoting an entry, text could be lost by being
demoted to a level lower than SKY Index supports.
-
The
Demote/Promote command would remove formatting when
used to demote from the cursor.
-
After Propagating Edits, some functions that operate
on selected records would only operate on the
current record, not all selected records.
-
Performing Combine or Swap on selected records after
using Ctrl+Enter to modify a heading would either
produce no result or a result that seems correct,
but is not actually reflected in the index database.
-
If
the "\" is pressed, the marquee moves to the next
row in the Translation Table. Unlike the data entry
grid, it should simply enter the "\".
-
A
problem with reading a configuration file would make
it impossible to read any additional configuration
files.
-
When words beginning with diacritic characters exist
in the index, the alphabetic separators can come at
the wrong place. The diacritic characters aren't
recognized as being sorted with the letters A-Z.
-
When filtering by date, the end date must be one day
greater than the desired date to include that end
date.
-
After doing the Error Scan for Cross Reference
Existence, the progress bar did not disappear.
-
"after" was not in the default list of Ignored
Words.
-
If
you type something in a cell mistakenly using caps
(like "using Full-Text Search"), press F2 to
highlight the entire cell, and then try to use
Ctrl-L to make the contents lowercase, the contents
disappear entirely.
-
Trying to import an empty text file would cause SKY
Index to close.
-
In
page order sorts, locators with page ranges would
sort before those without them.
-
If
a user typed a new acronym or translation and did
not move the grid marquee to start a new record, the
newly added acronym or translation would be lost.
-
When using Save As to save a group, you are
presented with a message saying the index was
created prior to SP2 and needs to be resorted.
-
The
documentation was wrong for some keyboard shortcuts.
-
In
a locator with Chapter labels, if you enter a page
range like: “8.9-8.25f” where the ‘f’ is in
italics, ‘25’ would also have been in italics in the
generated index.
-
Improvements in sorting routines have been made
including, but not limited to, the following: en
dashes and em dashes are now ignored whenever a dash
(hyphen) should be ignored; German quotes are now
ignored; Sorting changes made by choosing
Index->Resort now match the sorting characteristics
created when using the sorting options in the Index
Options dialog.
-
Certain filenames (including “Power to the
People.skx”) would cause the Error Scan to fail.
-
When importing a CINDEX DAT file that included
multiple cross-references separated by semicolons,
the second and all remaining cross-references might
not be of same type as the first cross-reference.
-
When locators
contained certain types of formatting, the indexer
could receive “Error 6” after prolonged periods of
editing or data entry.
