Issues Resolved

  • Under some circumstances the thumbnail for a non-image based document (eg. Microsoft Word) may not be displayed correctly. The correct icon is now displayed.

  • Entering an invalid query term may result in an error message indicating a window could not receive focus. The problem has now been corrected.
  • Various catalogues may receive in an error indicating a column is not found when merging records or showing all attachments. The error has been corrected.
