Hi NBOS: I am a QA engineer with over 20 years of experience and if I released code with a bug this huge I would be canned. Here are the details. Title - Creating then deleting a log entry immediately after changing a text entry removes all chan…

Just nest other campaigns under different folders. They are also working on a tab feature that should help and prevent the need for multiple db.

Second question...is there a way to make it use Firefox or another browser? I doubt this is possible but I thought I would ask...

If you have not done so please check the "b" bug that I found as well. Really stinks because I would love to run a character creator inside of it.

Hi Ed: I'm not sure how to put this and not come off wrong so I am just gonna put it out there... I was kinda disappointed by this post. There is this huge list of 2.0 features most of which would help anyone using the Keep but instead you guys …

I want to +1 his vote for 4) and 5). Please work on lists. The indent tabs need to allow for subnumbering and such...not sure what it is called. Great reply.

Got another one for you... * You cannot paste text into the Replace text dialog. Very annoying. Still on the lookout for more suggestions...

More minor stuff...not sure if there were mentioned already or not... 1) When you setup a hyperlink the format of the text is removed. This is really a bug but it should get fixed. 2) There does not appear to be a way to edit an existing hyperl…

I would call this a bug or a design omission but there is a simple work around. Select the rows you want to delete. Click on the Table menu item then select your delete option (i.e. don't right click).

I will think about this and add more but here are a few that jump to mind. I will number them for discussion but these are NOT in any type of priority order. 1) Fix it so that File Attachment children that are PDF open the file in the full clien…

I don't know about the garbage hyperlink text...I have not seen that one. Enter the exact steps to repro and the text and maybe we can throw out some suggestions. The other one I have an idea what is happening. I THINK when you highlight text…

One more hint that I forgot last time. Definitely get all of the service packs. In the latest one they added some keyboard shortcuts that are pure GOLD! They make moving stuff around really easy.

I wanna vote for this option too. I am in the same boat...I use a netbook and I don't use the dice roller or search so collapsing them as a default would be great.

I wanted to post a simple thankyou for this update. I really love The Keep and use it religiously for my games. Thanks for working on The Keep!

Ah gotcha. Thanks for the nice detailed reply.
