ToyBase 7.0.95 is mainly a housekeeping release but it contains some essential work that had to be done before I can get back to adding new features.
Changes:
- if you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7 then ToyBase will now attempt to put its database in the correct folder for your user and so Windows will never complain about the database being 'read only'. See the linked article for more details
- your I.T. department can override ToyBase and tell it to store the data anywhere that they choose (for example on their network drive)
- if you attempt to create a toy but you don't have any categories you will be directed to the Toys...Create Category menu instead
- I have added these currencies to the Tools...Options menu:
- Australian Dollars
- Euro
- Indian Rupee
- United States Dollars
Bug fixes:
- some people were not deleting the 'import v6 data' shortcut which was included for a quick upgrade and import of data from v6 to v7. ToyBase now asks you to confirm that you want to import your old data. I consider this a bug because it should not have been so easy for a user to re-import their old data. The import icon has been moved from the desktop into the Start menu
- the folder icons were missing in the Tools...Backup menu - they are now put on your PC when you install ToyBase
- apostrophes can now be included in your Organisation Name of your Licence. I have had to remove some in the past but this has not been a problem for the last few versions of ToyBase
- when you click on links that take you to the toybase.net website, all the links now point to the new pages and not to the old site. All the old links will continue to be redirected to the new pages and so you will not notice the transistion
The application icon has changed from a blue cube to a blue index card holder:
To get the new version, open ToyBase and hit the Help...Check for updates menu or click download.
