Re: Search Term or Phrase "Hits" Not Highlighted 3/25/2009 4:57:22 PM   (Total replies: 1)
My "personal and favorite solution" so far is simply closing and restarting asksam. Just today it happened twice and in both cases restarting AS made hit colors reappear. May be this will also work for you ... Regards Julian

Hi Guido, No, obviously you are not the only one ... > Did you have to do this multiple times, or with each file before the “hits” are highlighted? No, only once per file, although I remember that in one occasion I even had to restart my pc in order to see the colors again. Julian (running AS under Vista Home Premium)

Indeed, very annoying ... but I'm sure it's only a bug since the "document folder" window behaves the way it should. Meanwhile you could use the following workaround: Change the window option to "dockable" and resize it to, say, 1-2 mm. This way you can move it to the right edge of the screen where it remains almost invisible. But - of course - it's not a very elegant solution. This bug should be removed as soon as possible. Regards Julian

Deaming of a reliable version .. 5/3/2009 10:07:00 AM   (Total replies: 1)
I'm losing my confidence in my former favorite tool: How can it be that I'm getting x times a day the message that the file should be recovered EVEN when I have created 3 NEW versions from scratch without importing any old doc or template or stored search from the old database? Before doing this I exported the whole file to both rtf and txt in order to reimport it into the new file (as I said, created from scratch and from different default templates in order to avoid problems from a ...

Well, since I can only do the test with the latest 141, should I suppose that the bug has found its way back? I can't see any difference - all my date fields appear mixed up just like before: 17 Feb 2009 03 Jan 2009 02 Feb 2009 03 Jan ...

Sorry, I forgot to mention the following workaround (at least for me): I will change the denomination of my date fields renaming them "random digits" and everything will be fine again. ;-) Julian

Just a last word in order to put my posting into perspective: Sorting does NOT work properly as long as I do NOT use a "field" search like this: february in Date[ or Date[* but what I use(d) to do was simply entering a search term into the command line without any restriction like this: 2009 or feb I can't understand why this happens, but at least it's a valuable workaround. Thanks Flo for clarifying this issue. Julian

Date sorting - Am I really the only one ...? 2/5/2009 5:07:24 AM   (Total replies: 1)
Sorry if "Sorting by date" has already been discussed elsewhere (at least I couldn't find it): Since date sorting has never worked with "my" AS-Versions, I gave up using this option. But today I needed it really bad in order to get the last docs I had been working on this week. So I had AS sort my docs by date and realized that obviousely nothing had been done in order to fix this. Regardless of the field type I put (date or numeric), AS does NOT respect date or time order of the 2 specific ...

Well, after inserting the two field names in the (default) template it did indeed work fine. Your advice was important: I had to set them to "numeric" rather than to "date" (although it seems pretty illogical to me). Then I tried it with my real database and again, it did NOT work. Then I discovered that "sort by relevance" had automatically been activated, so I changed this and could see for the first time at all that there was a "certain" order in my date field I will send you a ...
