Suggestions and Requests / Re: startup diagramm

But is it possible to open a project in the state it was when it was last saved? Then you don't have to browse the Project Explorer and re-open all the diagrams you're currently working on

Bugs and Issues / Re: Misc. issues while working with RTF-generator

« on: July 23, 2009, 12:25:31 am »

.... nor is the RTF-generator.... I have many elements in my model without any extra notes or other characteristics, which (rightly) causes the generator to print just the element titles and nothing else. To prevent this from happening, I checked the 'Hide Note-less Elements' in the Advanced tab of the Generator dialogue. The note-less elements are skipped indeed, but so are most of the elements that *do* contain notes.... especially the multi-line ones... sigh ....

Another really funny bug: One of  the elements contains the note: "Administratieve Organisatie" (I have simulated the underscores here). The RTF-generator starts working and lo' and behold the result: "rganisatieO dministratieveA". In other words, the two terms have been swapped and the initial, underscored characters have been moved from the beginning of each term to the end of that term.

Bugs and Issues / Misc. issues while working with RTF-generator

« on: July 17, 2009, 05:11:41 pm »

Hi, these last few days I having been attempting to create a template that can be used in the organisation I am working for. I ran across some issues:

Can't use package information in header. I tried to use package name in a templates header.
In addition, it appears I can refer to a section only once in a template. (In some cases, I want to re-use certain elements).

Very basic header/footer functionality. All pages share the same headers and footers, except for the first page.

According to the manual, a two-row table should be used for lists. The first row contains the headers, the second one the the data fields that should repeat. However, the first row is repeated with every data row. The table has been formatted exactly as specified. Rather annoying.
This error also occurred in a version of EA that I tried last year.

"Undo" limited to one step or does not work at all: Uncheck a package in list on the left. The package plus all its contents are removed from the template. Type Ctrl+Z (Undo). Nothing happens. All you can do is to close and re-open the doc, losing all other changes in the process.

Window-setting not remembered. The template editor always opens in a small window. It does not remember the window setting (size / maximised ) from the previous editing session.

Heading setting not restored. When a template is loaded in the editor, the headings and footers are hidden by default, regardless whether they were visible when the template was last edited.

"View generated document" setting not stored. One has to check View Generated Document time and again to view the generated doc after it has been generated. The Document Generated message box should be replaced by a message in the Generated Document window, thus saving another mouseclick. (The required functionality should be: Click Generate Document, wait a while, and then the generated doc appears without further ado or mouseclicks).
 
Style editing: Does not always work according to the instructions in the dialogue box. No way to inherit styles.

Version 846.

Bugs and Issues / Imported elements are not "autonamed"

Hi,

I have set up EA to use auto name counters for requirements and checked the Active box. When I create a new requirement in EA, it is autonamed. However, when I import requirements, they are not autonumbered. Is there some way of accomplishing this?

Cheers,

Wopke

Bugs and Issues / Import CSV: First char lost

« on: July 01, 2009, 12:22:27 am »

When a Name entry of an element in a CSV file contains double quotes, the first character of Name is not imported.

Example (literal tekst from CSV):
REQ035: "PDF SIGNALEN PER LEERLINGHet systeem genereert een PDF met alle beschikbare details van de leerling en diens examengegevens~ analoog aan ""EXV-i: Resultaten per leerling met fouten"""

Resulting Name in EA:
EQ035: "PDF SIGNALEN PER LEERLINGHet systeem genereert een PDF met alle beschikbare details van de leerling en diens examengegevens~ analoog aan "EXV-i: Resultaten per leerling met fouten"

Please not the missing first character
