1, Ctrl F and Ctrl G (Find and Find next) dont work in either the Taglist window or the Source code window. The new "FILTER" feature in the taglist view, is too cumbersome for simpler "find" work. The old way was better, now its almost impossible to navigate/edit/copy source code. This is really bad.

2, When using the Ctrl B (replace) feature in the taglist view, neither the Tag or the L_Tag are selectable for global modification/replacement, I find this a major hindrance. This is bad.

3, There is a feature, Ctrl M, which is available in most views to allow multiple selection of blocks etc. but you must tick each block individually with the cursor to select them, the previous version allowed use of the uppercase arrow and Ctrl key in combination with the cursor to select large, spreadout, chunks of blocks or whatever. (Think of selecting multiple cells in Excel and you will know what I mean here). This is, well, a bit dumb.

4, Loop copying truncates most of the tag/block/compound data if the loops are not typicals, this is bad.

5, When importing taglists, there was a feature to save the mapping from the import file, this message/prompt now comes up with no text in the box, just the YES/NO buttons. Some of these type of messages are in German, and yes, I did an English install. This is just a niggle.

6, New TAGS dont appear in loop view, the only way I know to make them appear is to export the TAGLIST and then import it again. This is bad.

7, If you export the taglist and then import it  (directly, without changes) some loops are listed as being modified, but no parameters are listed in the differences display area. This is misleading.

8, I set up a user for level 1 access which means read only. If this user activates a nest view from the Enclosure Loading view, the add/remove tag buttons in the lower left corner are not selectable, suggesting access is denied, but if you double-click on a tag in an fbm, a message appears requesting confirm/cancel deleting the tag. Basically double-clicking in an fbm area opens up the various add/delete options for tags in this view. This is not good if you wanted multiple user access. This is not good.

9, Why does the online transfer window automatically close after a transfer, it takes too long to connect to the AWs (weve got 8) each time, I frequently want to transfer more than one CP, couldnt we just have an exit or close button to end this session manually. This is a pain.

10, Can we have proper support for SFC programmes and ladder logic, Ver 4. will transfer these, I think, but you cant view/edit etc. This will never happen, right ?

I can provide further clarification if needed.
