Wish List - comments on

Post by alanthwaite » 11 Mar 2006 22:33

Wish list:
Comments on the following are in the list:
Make it easier to enter accent characters Rating: Positive 31 Negative 0
Using the Alt-key + Numeric keypad with the info from this website will do many of them quickly – and probably obviate the need for an addition to the FH program.
http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/ALTchrc.html - a significant list.

Data validation on entry (e.g. to detect unlikely dates, etc.) is stated as being added in Version 2.2 – but it is not a sufficiently comprehensive validation.
Another entry called ‘Date Validation on the File, Validate option’ and one called – ‘Extended Date Checking’ are essentially the same request and should be seen as the same thing for voting purposes. I would like to vote for both (keyboard fumbles may otherwise pass unnoticed) but . . .

Voting:
I click on ‘I want this’ – the number of the vote total changes, until I leave the page, then it reverts to the old value and is the same after closing and reopening the webpage. Mystery! How does my vote get counted?
