Summary of Changes in Rapid Flyer 2.00

[Introduction] [How to Determine your Build Number] [Version 2.00] [Changes to Version 2.00]

Introduction

As more people use Rapid Flyer, we sometimes find problems with the program. Some of these problems occur only to certain hardware setups, and some of them apply only to certain host system (MLS) differences. To solve these problems we make small changes to PC Rapid Flyer. Some of these changes are invisible to most users, while others require us to add new program features or setup items. After we accumulate a few changes and are ready to distribute them, we release a new Build of Rapid Flyer. This document describes the changes in each Build of Rapid Flyer since we began shipping the product.

Rapid Flyer would display this message: "%1 does not appear to be valid" when the E-mail Address field was empty. Rapid Flyer no longer displays this message if the field is empty.

  • In the Template Designer, the Center Vertically check box on the Properties of Text windows and the AutoSize Frame? check box on the Border Properties window are mutually exclusive. Added code to disable one check box if the user or Rapid Flyer selects the other check box.

Build 016

Beta Test

Problem Fixes

  • The first time a user downloads listings and runs a Rapid Flyer Broker version, it leaves the E-mail Address field blank in the Agent Setup: Information Setup tab and E-mail Setup window. This allows each user to enter their own e-mail address.
  • Fixed the double-space text problem in the Edit Plain Text and the Edit Rich Text windows. If you edited the text in either one of these windows, then clicked the Restore button, Rapid Flyer would double-space the text in the window.
  • Added Apply buttons to the text editing windows in the Template Designer, Flyer Wizard | Step 4, and the History List | Step 2 windows. Also disabled the timers to fix a "List Index Out of Bounds" error.

  • Fixed a problem that occurred when you changed a photo in the Flyer Wizard | Step 4 window. Prior to this, when you changed a photo in the Flyer Wizard | Step 4 window, then returned to the Flyer Wizard | Step 3 window, the photo field was missing.
  • Fixed a problem that caused Rapid Flyer to save some types of flyer templates to the History List. This caused some of the flyers in the History List to lose text and photos.

  • Fixed a problem that occurred when you selected a field to edit on the Agent Info tab or the Listing Info tab in the Flyer Wizard | Step 3 window. If you selected a field to edit, then moved your mouse, Rapid Flyer would open the field below the field you initially selected.
  • Fixed a problem that caused Rapid Flyer to cancel e-mailing all flyers from the Flyer Wizard | Step 4 window and the History List | Step 2 window. The problem occurred if you were sending more than e-mail message. If you cancelled sending one e-mail message, Rapid Flyer would also cancel sending the next e-mail message.
