Image Import Preview dialog ------------------------------------- - Enhanced image filename components' numerical position to remain the same when disabled, instead of changing to 0. - Optionally add T, P, S prefixes to the treatment, plot, and subsample file name components. - Remember the last set Sort Order option each time the dialog is opened. - Add leading zeros to treatment and subsample numbers in assessment image filenames to allow easier sorting of images outside of ARM. - Fixed so images are added to the correct row when default sort order on the Image Import Preview dialog differs from sort order on the Assessment Data editor. Window - Trial Map ------------------------------------- - Enhanced so when an alternative plot is defined, it displays as the actual plot number on Trial Map. - Fixed so when factors are listed in ascending order on treatment editor, the Color By Factor option now matches Trial Map coloring. - Fixed for a multifactor trial that is colored by factor, so comparison treatments are no longer the same color as one of the factors. Window - Schedule Tasks Editor ------------------------------------- - Enhanced to use the Outlook Appointment starting time as the default starting time for the task. - Enhanced to check the trial study definitions when building the list of supported Schedule Task intervals for a protocol if the Emergence and Planting Date fields are not found. - Fixed so when a task is defined as an interval from a blank date, the planned date is now correct. Window - Attachments Editor ------------------------------------- - Enhanced Preview and Open Attachment to search the standard ARM attachment paths as well as the path listed. Window - Settings - Layout ------------------------------------- - Enhanced plot numbering for Range by Row to display as Range.Row on the Assessment Editor, Trial Map, and Reports. Also added the option to select the separator character. - Increased the maximum plot numbering values to support plot numbers as large as 2000000000 (2 billion). Graph ------------------------------------- - Graph title is now hidden when no text is entered for the title. - Added 'Reselect' button on Labels tab to reselect the X axis labels. - Fixed so all changes on Graph - Advanced Options are saved between graphs. General ------------------------------------- - Fixed so pressing the right-Alt key + C keyboard shortcut opens the Properties Panel instead of typing a special Polish character. ST - Print Reports ------------------------------------- - Fixed an error "There is no package called 'lem4'." - Fixed an error 91 when a running Tukey's HSD on individual trial means with the Least Square Estimation analysis method that caused all mean separation letters to be missing. - Fixed an error 5 that occurred when a previously built Covariance table remained uncleared, and Tukey's HSD on individual trial means was run with the Least Square Estimation analysis method. ST - Tools - Begin Summary ------------------------------------- - Fixed so ARM ST Summary is faster when a large number of trials containing missing data are included in the summary. - Fixed so treatments excluded using ARM Action Codes EC or ET are now correctly excluded from ST analysis when the study name is different than Trial ID. - Fixed an error 13 that occurred when Treatment number field was not selected to print when the 'color bands' option was active. - Fixed an error 62 that occurred when using the entire study list for the 'Trials to Search' grid when at least 1 study in the list no longer existed. - Optimized the ST Summary performance when summarizing a large number of data columns. ST - Graph ------------------------------------- - Fixed so mean comparison letters are now correct when criteria treatments are not in sequential order. - Enhanced to save the graph size, location, and font changes made to the Preview graph. TDC - Record GPS ------------------------------------- - Fixed so decimal portion of GPS coordinates is no longer lost when Windows decimal separator was a comma. - Fixed an issue that often resulted in reading the same GPS coordinate for all 4 corners of the trial. TDC - Autosave ------------------------------------- - Fixed so TDC prompts to delete unsaved assessment images when a trial is closed after an automatic backup was saved. Help ------------------------------------- - Updated Quick Reference Card pdf. GDMdef ------------------------------------- - Added new Treatment Type codes CROP, APPL (application), and MITI (miticide). - Added new Factor Descriptions SED (Seed Date), SER (Seed Rate), NRA (Nitrogen Rate), PRA (Phosphorus Rate), and KRA (Potassium Rate). - Added new Rate Unit VBEST = percent versus best. - Added new ARM Action Codes ET (Exclude Treatment 'n') and ER (Exclude Replicate 'n').
