Known Issues

Verison 1.0.2

• Username is not persisted unless the Remember Username checkbox on the Login dialog is unchecked and then checked.
• Selecting a multipicklist field doesn't generate the query correctly.
• The default Screen resolution is fixed and as a result isn't usable on a letterbox display sized at 1280 x 720 without resetting the computer's display resolution - Screen should adjust to display resolution.
  • Should be fixed when 1.0.3 gets released on 4/9/2007. This is postponed for a few days. Stay tuned. --Nick Tran (Tran Man) 10:02, 10 April 2007 (PDT)

Version 1.0.1

• Save does nothing
  • If the Id field is not selected, the query will still execute but the Save does nothing.

TODO

• Add progress bar during Query and Mass Update
• Add ability to save and load queries.
• Disable edit on Table.
• Window for type User and Password by access trought proxy
