FF! 8+ Development Notes

- Fixed support for Distinct Count. Only one Distinct count calculation can be added to a report so the UI doesn't allow you to do more
- The Filter tab now has descriptive tooltips to help you learn more about what specific options do
- You can now delete a filter condition while editing it
- When you right-click on a data item and choose Filter, it automatically becomes an ask at runtime filter condition
- Small cosmetic issues with Data Item Picker
- Added new feature to allow you to only show the Comments on the first page (instead of all of the pages)
- When building summary reports, removing a data item also removes the sort/group.
- The Workbench now remembers your last position and size much better than previous builds
- When you double-click on the column header, it now brings up the Change Appearance. We're still noticing some issues with double-clicking that we are investigating
- In the relationship Editor, there is now a Reverse button to allow you to fix opposing relationships. This is useful if you have joins that don't seem to be working - you can now hit a button and "reverse" them
- The Close box now works properly in the Previewer.
- A status message now appears when the previewer builds the preview. This is because of the XFRX Preview engine that processes all of the pages before displaying it. So now, when you preview a report, it tells you its progress.
- Output to Word now uses the Flow format so the document is written more like a Word document with a proper header, footer and looks amazing
- User Profile Manager now displays the Notes field so you can explain how each user will work.
- When you created a new preference set and a new request, it used to automatically create a blank request. This has been fixed
- Various fixes when printing to a printer or to a file. Now works with the XFRX Output to File option
- Better support for VFP 9's Protected feature. When using VFP 9, editing the layout automatically appears in Protected Mode so users can see the NAMES of the data items, instead of the hard to understand fields.
- A fix in the opening of files now allows you to run two instances of Foxfire! side by side.
- A fix has been made in the Import Data Items to properly support SQL Server tables with spaces
- A bug in the Summary Calculations in Group options caused the calcs to be listed multiple times. This has been fixed.
- Changing the remote data source in the Preference Editor now works properly. In earlier versions, it wouldn't always take the right data source.
