I would like to add:
1. When marking media files to play, the files are queued
alphabetically and not in the order in which they were marked. A
person trying to playlist multiple chapters of an audio book will
find quite a surprise when the chapters are out of order even
though they were marked in order.
2. The "folder commands list" and "subdirectories commands list"
both contain an item about moving the current or marked
folder(s). Moving folders is still impossible.
3. You are prompted for the configuration to connect with in
Keyweb when switching back into it from another application; this
should not be necessary as you have already established which one
you want to use.
4. Not a bug, but there should be an option to send email when
entering the inbox. I know many people found it bothersome, but I
liked it as all I had to do to send my reply was exit the inbox,
then press entery, y, enter, enter and my reply was sent plus I
knew if there were new messages.
5. The symbol for English appears at the top of emails and things
I write (not sure about documents yet) even if it is the only
language ever used and is my gefault language.
6. The help in the Block Commands Menu says nothing about the
Quick Marks feature, which I discovered completely by accident
when browsing the user guide index. If not for that, I would
never have known about them.
7. My speech just stopped as I wrote this, the first time that
happened. Everything else worked fine and speech came back once I
went through "speech on request", "speech off", and finally
"speech on" (so I didn't accidentally turn it off; it stopped by
itself). This has not happened since 5.x or 6.11, I cannot
remember which.
8. Keymail still has the problem of not sending (or even saving)
a message if, during its composition, the user switches to
another task and then back. The message acts normal except that,
even though the BN says there is an email to be sent, nothing is
in the Outbox and no copies are saved, even if the BN was told to
save a copy.
9. Saving emails using the space-s command no longer works
(according to other users). The email, if anything gets saved at
all, is only saved for the first few lines. (Again, this is
according to other users and I am not speaking from experience.)
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] List of current bugs found under KeySoft
7.5.17
Dear HumanWare staff, development team and
BrailleNote List members,
HumanWare released KeySoft 7.5 on August 31,
2007. Th upgrade is full of many new
features such as SSL support, Playlist
support and so on. Alth it has many features
that we, the users asked for many months both
on the list and off list, there are still
bugs that still pleague KeySoft and might
create a situation that we've experiencec a
year ago: when KeySoft 7.2.43 was released
last year, there were countless reports of
bugs experienced by users of BrailleNote
family of products. Alth KS 7.5Ag is
certaintly more stable than 7.2.43, it still
has numerous bugs that might affect daily use
of the product.
Some of the notable and documented bugs
include:
inin KeyMail: when attempting to connect to
send and receive email, two things happen
depending on the following two scenarios:
a. If an email account uses SSL to connect
to the email server (for example, Gmail):
when you invoke Connect function, an error is
returned, stating that it is "incorrect
function" for no apparent reason.
b. When an email account does not use SSL
connection: when a user uses "Connec"
function, it returns an error stating
"invalid socket handle" with error cone
10038.
These two scenarios occur when attempting to
connect to an email service using a network
(Ethernet) connection.
inin Networking: When a network card
(specifically Ethernet cards such as Socket
EA2902-139) is used to connect to the
Internet, a dialog appears with the following
text:
Windows CE Networking
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
was unable to obtain an IP address. If the
network card is removable, try reinserting
the card. Otherwise, you can assign static
IP address.
DHCP is used to assign unique IP address for
the BrailleNote (if a network uses
router/hub/switch to connect multiple
computers). Th occurs even though the
configuration in question is set to use DHCP
(the user have to say "yes" to the prompt
"obtain an IP address automatically"). Al,
even though a user assigns static IP address
such as 192.168.0.17, the error message with
the words "invalid socket handle" is still
displayed.
inin KeyPlus: When entering Data Entry Mode
with SPACE with d (on BT), an exception is
thrown. X says, "Exception: Command: 600 at
"address". Access violation at "memory
location"." This persists every time a user
turns Data Entry on. Data Entry mode is used
to input data for statistical inperations.
Af few attempts at this, KeyPlus "literally"
stops working with following symptoms:
a. When attempting to access Scientific
Calculator (KeyPlus) from Main Menu, an error
beep is heard and the cursor stays at Main
Menu items.
b. When Scientific Calculator is run, it
displays "KeyPlus" on the braille display and
nothing else.
The only way to solve this "temporarily" is
to reset the BrailleNote.
Inconsistancies:
inin File Manajer: when invoking Help
function at "Drive" prompt, the shortcut key
for Flash Disk and KeySoft System Disk (RAM
Disk; f and k, respectively) is surrounded by
what looks to be quotation marks. All other
shortcuts for other drives (CF, PC, SD, hard
disk; c, p, s and h, respectively) does not
have quotes around the shortcut key.
inin Information: The date for the copyright
for KeySoft is written like this: the number
"1986" is written in literary grade 2
braille, while numbers "2007" is written in
computer braille. Th also applies to the
word "to" between these numbers.
inin General/Help: When a user invokes Help
function at a prompt that is part of a
database e.g. when adding an email account
or manipulating Connection Configurations,
the help messages are displayed in computer
braille instead of preferred braille grade
e.g. literary Grade 2. All other prompts,
such as help messages for menus, are
displayed using preferred braille grade.
I hope that these issues would be resolved in
the near future (like in the form of a patch
for KeySoft 7.5).
Regards,
Joseph Lee
