Manual error

Post by G4DWV »

Hi,

I don't know if there is any point in reporting errors in the manual in the current release. I just came across one.

Page 45 in the latest copy of the manual, in the text under the Time Management graphic, the text should read "In the Options/Settings *2* menu...". In the manual, it says settings 1.

Changed with apologies for not being able to upload the revised manual immediately but I have no broadband at this time, due to BT Internet failure.

No worries Terry.

The manual is a fantastic work. Many software manuals are written by people very close to the software. They invariably write thus, "clicking the box 'activate feature abc' will activate abc" without telling why one would wish to do that in the first place.

You manual is written as if a newcomer to the program had written it. That is NOT an insult, but a real compliment and so few programmers can do it. In fact, it is a good bedtime read it is so well written.

PS No sign of the updated manual as of yet. Where should I look for it? Direct download or Log4OM? I tried both just now.

When it's there use either method but my internet has been down a week and no indication or interest from BT about fixing it.

The updated manual showing the correct settings page for time management is now uploaded to our server and can be downloaded from the web site or within Log4OM at the 'Help' menu.

Well spotted because that error has been there since I first wrote the user guide 3++ years ago and no other user had sharp enough eyes to notice it!

Again my apologies for the inconvenience about the user guide error and also the delay in uploading the revised user guide. This was due to my broadband being US since last Wednesday until 30 minutes ago - Good old BT!

That, and some of the questions we find here in the forum, shows that most of the users working under
"Try and Error" rules, HI. They don´t take a look to any manual.

It´s the same on my end. Normal functions are easy to handle and there is no manual needed but when
i have some special problems i take a look into it before i ask in any forum ...

Think that´s the reason that nobody have seen a 3+++ year old error, HI ... :D ;)
