There are no new features for this release.

Files

• The "all files *.*" option is no longer accessible from the Open/Files dialog box
• Label created with CS 5, opened with CS7
  would cause the database key field in the Table lookup to skip from line 1 to line 2

Printers

• The Windows printer settings are saved with the label

Printing

• When doing an ASCII merge with a laser printer AND with no more than one label on a page, confirmation is asked for each record of database file
• Reset to value is now correctly set when printing from the form display mode
• Counter now keeps the value while printing.  It asks to save after label reopening ans some printing counter increment
• Date from logfile settings is now added in the print logfile
• A SERIALQTY variable can be used for the print quantity even if another number has been given with the printable command.
• TEC lines using a TTF (True Type Font) with a rotation of 90 or 270 degrees are no longer being truncated on printout.
• a printjob of more than 9999 label will only print 9999 labels.  A last label will be printed with the remnant of the integer division by 9999.

Variable

• The "Display in form" option is now saved with the lab file
• Date variables used in formula are now updated when opening a label through File > Open menu (double clicking on lab also works)
• @PRINTERNAME variable value returns the old value if the printer is changed just before a printjob
• Decimal counters with an alphabetical value will be printed.
• If creating a shared form variable and putting a Unicode value inside, a result value is now provided after validation and editing.
• Datbase field can now have more than 1024 characters.

Graphics

• The information in the Preview is correctly displayed.
• It is possible to give path instructions in a variable value for an image, to complete the default path. However, to have the possibility to have a part of the path in the variable value you must :
      - type:   "part2\img" to have "c:\part1\part2\img.bmp" if you set the default folder or the other folder at "c:\part1" and the default extension at ".bmp".
      - OR, You can also use ".\" or "..\" to solve the location, the start path is the default folder or the other folder name.

Caution ! : You must type "\\" only for the UNC and ":\" only for the map drive.

ODBC/OLEDB

• A query can be saved when saving a label, even if the query has not been modified
• Table Lookup variables: if the ODBC datasource does not exist, CODESOFT returns an error message

Text Object

• Object name no longer changes when using the UNDO function.

Settings

• It is possible to change the assigned shortcuts for User Tools from the Shortcut Keys dialog box

ActiveX

• PrintLabel and Merge methods: the LABELNOFROM parameter is working
• A merge with an ASCII database is no longer printing only on the first label
• DateOffsetValue and OffSetUnit are now functional

Network Connection

• When running CODESOFT, if one of the default Network share directories does not exist, (Network connection is not found), a warning will be prompted and the user will be directly redirected to the Tools\Options\Default folder dialog box to solve it.

Other
