DM Secretary

DM Secretary 5 Issues and Fixes

=============================================================
DM SECRETARY version 5
=============================================================
How to report bugs, feature requests and others.

Give a short description of your system:

Win XP, SP 2
Win 98 SE, no patch (Yes it is still supported!)
Give the error message:

Runtime error 429: object could not be created

If there is no error message, describe the result of the error:

The map disappears from the frame...

Give the exact instructions on how this happened:

When I left-click on the map to move a player, ON the player icon, the map disappears.
On releasing the mouse button, it flashes back on.

Give what you expected:

A stable map and some player that can be moved.

If something works but is really non-intuitive, tell us and describe the ideal situation :

Two click to insert a note in the stats list is way too long.
How do you add a new note in the Notes tab ?
How about a moved player leave a trail on the map that fades after three turn...
.

Anything less than that will just burn my time and yours as I might not be able to replicate the error.
