    Hi Jim,

    thanks for taking the time to check it out :)

     

    However, I still do have some concerns with this:

     

    1. If Primary is not meant to be confined to *image* exhibits, Help should be changed accordingly in that makes it clear that non-image exhibits can, in fact, be primary and should then also contain mention that primary non-image exhibits will not be shown in e.g. charts, image window and a number of reports.

     

    As it is now, I find Help confusing and/or incomplete

     

    I tried an external text file as a primary person exhibit with output to Word. It worked and that might be useful.

    2. OK, but I've so far found at least one where I, personally, wouldn't consider the output desirable:

    Individual Detail: If output of 'Image' is selected under Options > Exhibits, the first line of a primary text exhibit actually shows following the name of the report subject - please see gif attachment for clarification

    I also tried a WMV and nothing was output. So some exhibits that can be marked as primary aren't actually output.

    3. So, *at least* for those which are not output, IMHO, the user should not be able to select them as Primary - ?

     

    Just my 2 AU cents <G>

    Hi,

     

    just stumbled over the fact that non-image Person exhibits (Audio, Video, Text and OLE) can be selected as Primary in their respective properties (never noticed it before) - Help says:

     

    ----------------------------------

    Primary

    Place a check in the box next to Primary if you want this *image* to be used as the primary one for reports or charts, and in the Image Window.

    ----------------------------------

     

    My question:

    Is this a bug or a 'feature'?

     

    Considering the above, I don't see the point of non-image exhibits being primary, so if it's a 'feature' - where would they be used?

     

    Slightly puzzled :)

    Like Jim, I strongly object to NZ being shown as part of Australia!!!  :(

     

    Having finally figured that as I couldn't add a country, you must have it somewhere already, and looked under Australia.

     

    Like Jim, suggest renaming the map either Australia and NZ, or even better NZ and Australia :)

     

    It also took me ages to get the pin to show up in the right place, as it kept popping up several positions too far to the left rather than where I thought my mouse was pointing.

    I agree on the pin placement ... ended up in the water a couple of times :D but I object to 'NZ and Australia' ... of course they'll have to be 'separated' somehow but it's got to be the other way around (Australia and NZ) (ducking ...) :lol:

    I created the custom theme(s) by copying a generic Second Site theme and editing the copied files with my image editor, ACDSee, now using the theme(s) in Second Site with no post processing required.

    Have fun browsing :)
