The ReportWriter has been given a new appearance and is easier to navigate. The appearance of the reports (fonts, colours, background images, etc) can be customized using a CSS stylesheet (located in the 'lib/html' folder of the Patchworks installation). If you customize this file be sure to save it somewhere so that it does not get overwritten the next time you upgrade Patchworks.
Account values have been added to the block table. Account
values will show the result of combining attributes according to
the entries in the accounts.csv input file. Simple accounts that
sum a single attribute having the same name will be excluded.
These additional account columns will be given a prefix of
"Account.". You may change the default prefix by setting a global
variable in the PIN file named
blockAccountPrefix.
Table viewers now support direct editing of attribute values. Only fields that are eligible for editing can be modified. Fields that allow editing have their column heading displayed in a plain font, those that do not allow editing are displayed in an italic font.
You can make edits by typing directly into the cells of the table, or by using the 'Calculate field value' menu item.
The 'AVAILABLE' and 'CURRENTTREATMENT' fields of the block attribute file are available for editing, as well as all attributes in cached files.
The Dbase attributes of a shapefile may be edited if the file is unlocked for editing. This is performed by selecting 'Start editing' from the edit menu. Use caution while editing Dbase attributes, because the changes are written directly to disk and cannot be undone. Make sure not to use the shapefile simultaneously in other applications (e.g. ArcMap) as corruption may result. Also take care to stop editing when you are done to prevent loss of data.
Cached shapefile attributes may be altered, but the results will never be saved to disk. If you want to alter the on-disk dataset be sure to disable caching (specify 'useBlockCache = false' in the PIN file).
You can add shapefile and coverage layers to the mapview using a 'drag and drop' operation. To do this first select the appropriate file or directory in the windows explorer, drag to the map view panel, and release. You can drag and drop multiple files simultaneously.
Minor changes:
The scheduler has been adjusted to increase convergence speed in wider range of situations.
Table headings will now show a tooltip that gives the full column name. This will help when the column heading is so long that all of it does not fit in the heading.
