PsiDat Revision History

Revision Details
v1.01 Fixed bug that caused the toolbar to be switched to the state it wasn't in last time you exited PsiDat.

Fixed bug that prevented restructure when you increased the total number of fields (I had eliminated this once - don't know how it crept back in to v1.00)

Added manual recalculation option to recalculate all fields.

Altered the shortcut for Restructure to R so that I could use r for manual recalculation of all fields.

Altered the 'New Record' routine so that it recalculates if 'auto recalc' is on.

Fixed bug which caused termination when you deleted the very last available record when calculations or copy-down fields were being used.

Modified the calculation/special field so it can take up to 80 characters instead of 64 and limited the equivalent field in zPsiDatFieldInfo to match.
v1.00 Modified datetime field so that it no longer defaults to the current date (you can restore this with the <NOW> option in the field properties).

Also added the option to 'blank' a datetime field.

Added copy to clipboard functions

Added summary operators <CNT> <SUM> <AVG> <MIN> <MAX> to the available calculation items in the numeric field properties (CNT = COUNT).

Added functions for reporting and printing

Added 'Goto Record' function.

Added 'Apply SQL as Filter' option.

Added an option whether zero values should be displayed.

Altered the general field edit routine so that pressing right-arrow, left-arrow, or the delete key while on a memo or datetime field gives access to the field.

Added option to restructure table (note: a new table is created - it must have a different name from the source table). This allows numeric field types to be changed and fields to be added, deleted, renamed, and moved around.

Completely overhauled the create table routine - you can now move fields about and it is dialog-based instead of database table based.

When restructuring a table or using 'Save As' you can decide which fields to copy data over from the source or even decide to create an empty blank table.

Option to edit field definitions during a dBase import removed (there's too much to go wrong there; it's safer to import and then restructure if necessary)

Added a vertical bar to show the relative position in the database. You can move to a relative position in the table by tapping the bar. (Just in case you are wondering, I tried scrollbars but they were too slow for record navigation and looked as though they were a method for scrolling up and down the fields. I may add scrollbars for this later anyhow, so this seems better for record position. A horizontal scroll bar takes up too much room, especially on the Revo).

Added Ctrl-X as a shortcut to close the current table instead of the escape key so that it's harder to close a table by mistake (nice to see that combination resurrected from the series 3 !)

Added INI file to save settings.

Improved Clock display on the Revo.

Embedded required SIS files in PsiDat.SIS
