| Posted: | | | | BulkEdit V2.53 Available
- Fixed old bugs in XML Import of Purchase Currency - Added Cancel button to all menus with progress bars to allow interruption of long tasks - Added Purchase Date, Purchase Place, Purchase Price and Purchase Currency to Bulk Import of Personal Data - Collection\Flagged\Flag Children changed to remove parent flags before flagging the children
Here is the exact set of header fields recognized:
"profileid", "disc", "location", "slot", "notes", "prenotes", "postnotes", "collectiontype", "collection#", "purchasedate", "purchaseplace", "purchaseprice", "purchasecur"
For Purchase Currency, you may use any of the following ways:
- Full text of Purchase Currency dropdown (e.g. "United States (Dollar)", "Denmark (Krone)", etc.) - The country portion, up to the "(" symbol (e.g. "Great Britain" or "Japan", etc.) - The denomination sysbol, as used by DVDP XML Export, (e.g. "USD", "JPY", "GBP", etc.) - "$" in lieu of "USD" - "£" in lieu of "GBP" - "€" in lieu of "Euro" - "¥" in lieu of "JPY"
For convenience, here is a code snippet that reveals the complete list of currencies recognized:
currencymap.Add("ARP", "Argentina (Peso)"); currencymap.Add("AUD", "Australia (Dollar)"); currencymap.Add("BRL", "Brazil (Real)"); currencymap.Add("CAD", "Canada (Dollar)"); currencymap.Add("CLP", "Chile (Peso)"); currencymap.Add("CNY", "China (Renminbi)"); currencymap.Add("DKK", "Denmark (Krone)"); currencymap.Add("€", "Europe (Euro)"); currencymap.Add("£", "Great Britain (Pound)"); currencymap.Add("HKD", "Hong Kong (Dollar)"); currencymap.Add("ISK", "Iceland (Krona)"); currencymap.Add("INR", "India (Rupee)"); currencymap.Add("IDR", "Indonesia (Rupiah)"); currencymap.Add("ILS", "Israel (Shekel)"); currencymap.Add("¥", "Japan (Yen)"); currencymap.Add("MYR", "Malaysia (Ringgit)"); currencymap.Add("MXP", "Mexico (New Peso)"); currencymap.Add("NZD", "New Zealand (Dollar)"); currencymap.Add("NOK", "Norway (Krone)"); currencymap.Add("PHP", "Philippines (Peso)"); currencymap.Add("RUR", "Russia (Rouble)"); currencymap.Add("SGD", "Singapore (Dollar)"); currencymap.Add("ZAR", "South Africa (Rand)"); currencymap.Add("KRW", "South Korea (Won)"); currencymap.Add("SEK", "Sweden (Krona)"); currencymap.Add("CHF", "Switzerland (Franc)"); currencymap.Add("TWD", "Taiwan (Dollar)"); currencymap.Add("THB", "Thailand (Baht)"); currencymap.Add("TRL", "Turkey (1 million Lira)"); currencymap.Add("$", "United States (Dollar)"); currencymap.Add("USD", "United States (Dollar)"); currencymap.Add("JPY", "Japan (Yen)"); currencymap.Add("EUR", "Europe (Euro)"); currencymap.Add("GBP", "Great Britain (Pound)"); | | | Thanks for your support.

Thanks for the update!! |

| Posted: | | | | Brief note: Please ignore the "Headshots" menus that appeared in V2.53. That was an unfinished experiment that I stopped when I discovered that it was not needed. I hope to remember to remove the code in the next update. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!!

| Posted: | | | | Ok, I am posting this in case it helps people in the future
I have a laptop with Windows 8 64 bit. I installed the latest security updates the other day (and there were some for .NET) and after the updates DBDP would have an APPCRASH on startup. And then when I would start it up again it would come up with the dialogue asking if I wanted normal or diagnostic startup. Well it would only start if I started it with no plugins.
I uninstalled all the plugins and it came up. After installing each plug in one at a time, stopping and starting DVDP I determined that the BE plugin was at fault. I actually did this determination in many more methodical steps that I am stating to give mediadogg all the information I could. But I am truncating that for this post.
Well I PM'd the dog...
He thought about it and then asked if it had anything to do with this post http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=295144&PageNum=39&messageID=2180858#M2180858
Well I have never had the CCV plugin, but the fact that the 'C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Invelos_Software\DefaultDomain_Path_[a lot of letters]\1.0.0.0\user.config file was in question got me curious
But I thought possibly what if there is an issue with that config file
So I opened 'C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Invelos_Software\DefaultDomain_Path_[a lot of letters]\1.0.0.0\user.config'
And in there were default values based on the last time I used BE.
I deleted the XML for the BE configs from that file
I installed BE and DVDP comes up
Now I don't know what the MS updates had to do with that config file and causing BE to crash. But initializing the config settings make it install and work.
So possibly the CCV issue is really an issue with that config file or config entries.
At any rat it is working. So if you all get initialization APP crashes try this. |

| Posted: | | | | @Scooter1836: Thanks for posting that. As we discussed by PM, I don't quite get what is going on, and what I can do about it, so it is good to have the workaround until I get smarter. Greenie! | | | Thanks for your support.

If the first plugin you ever installed is compiled in .NET 3 or 4, then all other plugins which use .NET 2 do not work anymore, except if you delete the config file. If you install first a .NET 2 plugin and then the others, it works. Seems Microsoft forgot in .NET 2 to consider that multiple .NET frameworks can be used in the same process, if .NET is used in plugins, but not in the main program. What happens is, that the first .NET plugin creates the config file, and all others append there config settings there. But if, for example, a .NET 4 plugin creates this file, a .NET 2 plugin cannot read the format. The other way around it works. A .NET 4 plugin can read a .NET 2 config file. | | |

| Posted: | | | | Thanks Tom. Now I remember that you explained this to me before. I think it's about time for me to move up to .NET 4. But does that also mean I cannot support users on Windows XP?
That would also mean that nobody is using any of my other plugins that are still .NET 2, in combination with a .NET 4 plugin. That may be true, but it does make me wonder if there is more to the story - perhaps a specific way we are using Settings that MS didn't account for.
I'm not aware of any other .NET 2 plugin where this issue has been reported, which also seems strange, given the number of plugins out there, and the apparent wide use of CCV.
If I change BE to NET 4, will I cause more problems than I solve? That's my fear. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!! BDPFrog. | | | Last edited: by mediadogg |

But does that also mean I cannot support users on Windows XP? .NET 4 Framework is available for Windows XP. My tools are working on Windows XP. If you move to .NET 4, it just means that they may be some users who also have to install a new .NET Framework. As a matter of fact, .NET 2 may cause problems on Windows 8. As far as I know, you have to activate the .NET legacy support on Windows 8 for it to work. | | |

Or maybe there are some features there, which your plugin would benefit from. LINQ sounds like something which could be useful in your case. I never used it though. Besides some minor things, the main reason I had to switch to .NET 4 was the nice Chart control which is available there. | | |

| Posted: | | | | OK, sold. Will move to NET 4. I'll probably avoid LINQ for the moment. One step at a time. Thanks again for the analysis. By the way, I have several Windows 8 machines - in fact I test and compile all my plugins on it. Go figure. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here.

By the way, I have several Windows 8 machines - in fact I test and compile all my plugins on it. Go figure. I don't mean that Windows 8 necessarily causes problems. I just know that at the machine at work where I have Windows 8 installed, I had to activate the .NET 2 support. Which was really tricky, because activation needs internet contact with the Microsoft server, which our IT does not allow. There is a tricky way to do it without that connection by running a special command from the Windows 8 DVD. In the long run though I think it is better to upgrade, because you never know when Microsoft decides to drop support of .NET 2 completely. | | |

| Posted: | | | | Actually, I don't think that is the case in general. NET 4 should include support for NET 2 applications. I have never had to do anything special, and almost all of my plugins are NET 2. I have run my plugins on almost every version of Widows (TechNet subscription), and Windows Servers, with no issues that I can attribute to the version (Vista excepted). So, I definitely think there are some nuances that, I for one, do not fully understand. All that being said, I do intend to migrate BulkEdit to NET 4. | | | Thanks for your support.
