Shepherd's Staff 2024 Version (9.0.0), release 20241001
Change
-
The "generate recurring transactions" window in Finance is now sizable (and it remembers the size you selected and uses that next time).
-
The backup option under "Tools/Backup and restore" will stop if it detects that you have windows still open. This is to make sure any data changes have been saved before running the backup.
Fixed
- Periodically, when exiting the program and choosing to backup or optimize the database, you could get a message that someone else was in the database, even though you were the only one using the software. The program now: (1) interactively closes all open windows that may have the database open; (2) runs the a function to make sure the closed database objects are no longer in memory (so that the database locking file closes).
- On the Contributor Details window, if you saved a change to a contributor, and then while saving you moved the cursor off of the Save button and onto another field (e.g., a giving ID), the "saved" checkmark remained on the Save button. If you tried to immediately to make another change to that same contributor, the Save icon did not appear (so you did not receive a warning if you left the record and had not saved the second change).
Cosmetic
- If you printed Mailing labels or Information labels and chose the option "Smith Jr., Andrew R. (Andy)", it left out the comma between the last and first names.
- If you printed Information labels and chose the option "Smith Jr., Andrew R. (Andy)", it did not put a space between the first name and middle initial. Example: "Abbott JacobP." would print (notice no space between the "b" and "P").
