Now it is clear that the converting (aka Import, "Add data structure...") of REC-files into the new epx-format doesn't work 100%tly.

Plausibility checks are not importet. This is one of the BUGs I can see. Maybe there get more lost in the conversion.

This is not a bug in the program. It was chosen this way, that importing old .rec and .chk files would not support loading checks other than valuelabels.

Is there a bug-tracking system where I can add and monitore it? Where can I see the development time table?

Yes there is. You have to create youself an account, but after an initial registration, you can create bug reports and feature requeste as you like.

Kind regards, Torsten Bonde Christiansen.

ps. please identify youself when writing to the list. All mails sent on this list uses anonymous email adresses making it impossible to see who is writing if not stated.

It is important to realise the nature of the conversion project. Some aspects are not being updated and others not completed yet. This is clear in writing and reading on this list.

It is also important to realise that while some aspects will be supported in the future not all will and for certain there will be no 1-1 import/export feature from rec +chk files to the new XML file principle.

When (if at all) it is appropriate for a given project to change to the XML principles in the new versions is up to each project to decide - based on needs and thorough testing of the capabilities of the rec+chk based systems and the xml based systems available.

There has been no "promise" from my side to have a 1-1 conversion from the old to the new system.

Sorry to be a little harsh, but software development is neither easy nor simple in economic terms. In particular for a system which is already in place on many aspects. We are looking ahead and meanwhile take your choice on what is possible with the old and upcoming systems.

It is good practice never to base your expectations on "what will come" when using IT-systems. You never know if it comes and in particularly not if it comes in time for your specific purpose.

I really need to update my project to the new format. Of course I need a complete converting routine for it. I won't do any work again that was done before in the old version.
