QuickViewHL7 Version 2.0 Feb 2013 Release type: ------------- This should be considered a beta release as I have not yet used it in a working environment. Purpose: -------- Bug fixes - several issues which were raised in the forums have been addressed. Minor changes - yes I do pay attention to the feedback and requests on the forum. New features - an experimental new macro feature has been added. Bugs: ----- Numbering of components within fields is now 1 based instead of zero based. Other minor issues. Features: --------- Tabbing and keyboard navigation of directory lists has been improved. When opening a file from Explorer the directory list is hidden by default. Revised Settings dialog, configuration now stored in ProgramData folders, existing bucket definitions should be retrieved from old configuration at first startup. Macros: ------- I have implemented an embedded WebBrowser control, with an interface to the QuickViewHL7 runtime environment provided within the JavaScript environment. This allows the crafting of an HTML standard user interface, for macros which require user input or which display outcomes to the user. The working script for a macro is, therefore, written in JavaScript, and may access the data segments of the item currently being edited, as well as any HL7 file found in any of the predefined bucket locations. Further documentation is pending, regarding the QuickViewHL7 interfaces provided to the macro runtime environment. Currently the installer (quickviewhl7-2.0.4788) includes a small set of example macros in the Macros folder. I have included comments in these macros, as my initial notations towards API and tutorial documentation. Due to the manner of implementation, the embedded WebBrowser control uses your resident version of IE. My development and testing worked with IE9. Debugging and tracing features of other browsers, while very desirable, are not available here. I have implemented a very basic console feature which allows tracing of activity and error capture. Settings / EnableMacros To enable or disable macros, use the settings panel (File/Settings) and change the option EnableMacros. When this is set to False the program will not even check for the presence of macro files, and the Macro submenu will contain the statement "Listing Disabled". The program needs to be restarted for the EnableMacros setting to take effect. Settings / MacroFolder When EnableMacros is set to True, the program will scan the default macro folder at startup, populating the Macros submenu with the titles of macro files found. The default location is the Macros folder in the program installation folder. If you want or need to use another location, you can put an alternative pathname in the Settings item MacroFolder.
