New Features in detail

Single UI file - allows us to import into a data only file, reducing the TO count and speeding up imports.
Makes names more prominent over id fields.

Notes Layout - allows you to see notes against previous iterations of this solution.
Notes Layout - shows a portal of errors, unreferenced and warnings against this item as well as against previous iterations of this solution so you can compare the current version to previous to see where and when errors were introduced.
All layouts have been updated and re-configured with the new FileMaker 9 Autoresize feature. So layouts can expand to fill your screen.
Added a total of errors, unreferenced and warnings to the main portal on the home screen.
New Sort Order Items table, showing the real sort order for script steps.
New Script Text field, listing all of the contents of a script in a single field.
Smart Search feature - when doing a find in BaseElements, it can automatically limit your find to a particular Analysis, so that you only find in the solution or import you’re currently looking at.

New consolidation Report.

Using BaseElements, we built a report, in BaseElements, to consolidate BaseElements.
This allows you to move any Table, or sets of layouts or both from one file to another.
So you can use it to consolidate multiple files into one, or to split a file into separate data and UI, or any combination of those.
This report takes advantage of some previously unseen optimisations to make the entire process as easy as can be.

Other Reports.

New Error Report - Allows you to list errors, unreferenced and warning items, independent of the item they’re related to.
Modified the comparison report to allow a comparison by name or id.
Comparison Report - now you can compare by name or id, you can see changes in a solution over time (by id) or difference between two versions of the same thing, developed independently.
All reports have options for notes, as well as assigning the report item to a developer and marking it as complete.

More Data Tables and layouts.

New Calculations Table.
Calculations - you can now search in a calculation across your entire solution.
New Variable Layouts - you can now search for variable usage across your entire solution.
New Plugin Layouts - you can now search for Plugin usage across your entire solution.

Updated import process.

Optimised import process imports all of the files in a solution in one step, making imports quicker and easier to see progress.
New import layout gives a better indication of progress.
Almost completely remove the processing steps, and built them into the import instead to reduce import time.

Other (not so exciting) changes.

BaseElements 1.0b3 - Released 7th Jan 2007

Completed changes made to the way references (Field, CF and ScriptSteps) work. This completes the changes started in b2 and resolves all of the outstanding issues with regards to this.
Fixed an issue with ValueLists not including Tables from the Show Related option.
Worked around a broken DDR issue where the Layout from a GTRR step has the wrong name.
Added a warning and a warning count to the above GTRR issue in the ScriptStep file.

Added a link to the Version History page from the about screen.
Change the plugin registration code to automatically save a copy of the plugin to your extensions folder.

Fixed an issue with FileReferences with multiple values showing errors.
Changed the sort order in list view for unreferenfed and errors to descending to put the larger totals at the top.

BaseElements 1.0b2 - Released 18 Dec 2006

Important Notes about the b2 release : If you’ve been using b1, then make sure to remove the MBS, Troi Dialog and SMTPitPro plugins, as they’re no longer required (Unless of course you need them for other projects).

Also b2 contains an updated version of the Troi_File plugin, so you should replace the old version with this one in order to be up to date.

Other changes in b2 :

Figured out a way to script the window size change and get it to stick every time.
Cleaned up the feedback option - made it much simpler, so it uses your local email client - this also reduces the number of plugins to 2 - why didn’t I think of this earlier ;)
Changed the XSLT export option to use the ExportFieldContents script step instead of a plugin - this reduces the number of plugins to 1.
Modified the FieldReferences XSLT to do a sub function for the script steps part for Scripts/CustomMenus/LayoutButtons.
Changed the way field reference types are used so that it’s cleaner to work with.
Fixed an issue with CF’s not being found in WebViewers.
Fixed an issue with Sort order in a CustomMenu not being picked up.
Added a warning for calculated XML/XSLT imports where the fields aren’t in the DDR.
Added the errors in field references to the ScriptStep error count.
Changed the links in the portal in the DDR_DDR File to go to the List layout instead of the form layout.
Updated the TroiFile plugin to 3.5.3
Added the command/ctrl left arrow and right arrow commands to the menu to match the back and forward buttons.
Added the BaseElements Website and register menu options to the help menu.
Sorted the portals on the “Layout” form layout to be sorted by error count so that errors appear at the top of the list.
