I am very grateful to Joseph,Rhonda, Richard, and Isaih for
quickly and competently compiling the following list of bugs and
suggestions for fixes at today's phone conference.
As per their separate requests, I am sending copies to Andy Riden
and Robin Williams of the HUMANWARE staff.
List of bugs that were discussed during Conference:
Bugs:
1. Occasionally, there has been an issue of Braillenote
freezing for no
apparent reason. It is accompanied by the fatal application
dialog. The
issue is that: when a file is downloaded from the Internet,
contrary to
HumanWare's words, the file is still saved first onto the system
disk, and
than it is copied over to the desired location. When the disk
becomes full,
the fatal dialog appears.
2. Some people expressed concerns about an issue where an extra
dot 4 might
be present. It happens with both the display and speech.
3. Some also expressed concerns with file manager. Although we
praised new
features that were introduced with KeySoft 7.2 in regard to file
manager,
there were mainly two concerns: one, that it uses its own copy
command
(backspace with y or Ctrl_y) instead of universal copy command
(backspace
with k or Ctrl_k). And, second, it is also found that there is no
way of
switching directly to File manager from anywhere in KeySoft.
4. Some also expressed concerns about memory code in calculator.
When a user
saves a value e.g. 100 to memory from KeyPlus, and after the user
has
performed a Reset, when the user goes back to KeyPlus and loads
that memory,
the value might have doubled somehow.
5. It is also found that the User Guide is written in a way that
suggests
that it is out of date. We also observed some issues with the
text of the
manual itself e.g. there is a section on the Media Player that
the text
might drop out from middle of a sentence.
Suggestions:
1. It has been suggested that we have a more tighty file
manager with
the universal copy command implemented, plus a universal hotkey
to switch to
File Manager from anywhere in KeySoft.
2. The manual should be written in a way that reflects the
current KeySoft
version. Also, the manual should be checked for inconsistancies.
