Re: Floorplan - crashes every time with runtime error 9



Gary,

This was mention to me a couple of days ago and yes there is an issue
with updating certain records, actually it's the saving of the data to
the file that had the issue. I'm just about to release the next verison
with is free from this issue. Assuming i can get the installer to build
it, it will be out in the next couple of hours. This is a floorplan only
issue everything else you have sounds like it's working exactly as it
should.

Floorplan beta4 features:
File saving issue fixed
Display style is now correctly stored
All new timer system. The old time only system has gone. The new system
is much more flexable and includes security randomiser, sunrise/sunset,
day, weekday, month, leap year settings. So you can now run a script
only on Friday the 13ths at a random point around sunrise only in
January and only on leap years if you like.
Along side the existing scripts there are now auto scripts. Those who
have use the xAP events within HomeSeer will be familiar with this but
basically without scripting or xAP knowledge you can send sequences of
commands in very easy way.
Can now be run as a service
Both BSC and raw items can be included both on a floorplan as before and
now in a Control tab.  This lists the devices with their control buttons
in a list which give quick access to them.
Raw devices can now have control options too. Each raw item can link to
upto 10 scripts or auto scripts and you can give each button captions as
required.
Active inserts can now be deleted
Timers and links can be enable/disabled by simply clicking the green/red
globe next to each
Script functions increase and a method of allowing scripts to generate
temporary timers is of particular use. This allow a script to either
schedule another existing script/autoscript to be run at a set time or
loading a timer with actual script code to run at a set time. This last
one is a bit confusing to explain but is very useful. One example would
be for a timer to run at midnight to turn all the lights off but what
the script does is to make a series of timers over say the next ten
minutes to slowly fade down the lights once this fade is complete all
the temporary timers are removed leaving you with just the midnight
timer in the list.

Please note the existing timer system is no longer supported. Converting
them to the new system is easy though and instructions will be included
in the upgrade zip.
