[Eclass-users] bugs

[BJ C. <ca...@tu...>]

Hi Kevino,

1.  Here is a petty bug, but...When using the html document editor, Ctrl =
S does not save the document. The rest of the keyboard shortcuts work =
fine,
and if you try to close the file, you get the dialog box asking if you =
want to save it. Not a big deal if you can't fix it, just remove the =
Ctrl S from the file menu.

2.  This one is a bit bigger as it has larger ramifications...If you =
"cancel" when using the Find Feature in the html document editor, it =
crashes
the editor and EClass.

Unfortunately, you lose all your unsaved work and despite the error =
message there is nothing in the errlog.txt. I seemed to have lost all my =
"system
preferences" after the crash too.

3.  Document Editor:
The Insert Bookmark seems to be acting a bit off. Maybe I am =
misunderstanding what you mean by "insert bookmark". Do you mean create =
the
bookmark or are you linking to the bookmark.  From the HTML code it =
looks like you are creating the bookmark. How are you suppose to link to =
the bookmark except through the html code? A quick explanation of what =
"#" does might help novice users.

Once you "create" the bookmark, the "insert hyperlink" sometimes does =
not work.

Also I noticed if you cancel the link window without putting a link, the =
link is still created...probably should do nothing.

4. Greenstone search...
Greenstone only indexes files in the pub directory. I looked in the =
collect.cfg file for some indication of what gets indexed, nothing. Are =
you using the import function? Anyways, I would also like to have the =
"file" directory and any sub-directories of the File directory indexed. =
Possible?

5. When using the no frames theme:
The alignment on some of the pages are off. Sometimes the treemenu is on =
the left margin and sometimes it is right next to the page content. =
Could we standardize it? I think the left margin looks best.

6. I have been having minor trouble editing the new template files =
(*.TPL) with Editpad lite. In particular, I can't move the cursor with =
the mouse. Can you recommend another editor?

7. The convert to PDF works great except most links do not work. It is =
looking for material in the same directory as the pdf file. I would =
recommend removing the links, or moving the pdf file into the file =
directory, where most of the material resides. Other ideas?

8. Not really a bug, but a feature I would like to see. In many text =
boxes (the Credit box, Quiz question box, author box), you can use =
simple scripts to change font size and include links. I wish you could =
do this in the objectives text box.

9. Not really a bug, but an idiosyncrasy. If you change a page name in =
the page properties, it changes the name on the page, but doesn't keep =
the change when you open the page editor. I would think that the two =
would work in conjunction.

10. Using Swish-e search, doc files do not get indexed even though they =
are in the "File" directory. I checked out swishe.conf, no problems =
there. Other ideas?


I will start again tomorrow.

Thanks,

BJ
