2 Six new options in Advanced - see here

- Exhibit Conversion - Convert Internal Image and Text file to external in folder of choice.
- Exhibit Conversion - Convert all internal /external Exhibits to OLE ( Linked or Embedded)
- File Finder - as used in the [View/Modify] browse grids when clicking on Fname2 and selecting Search for Candidates. - see here

Version 8
An 'Advanced' option with 3 options
- - The ability to output to disk files both Internal
Exhibits, and External exhibits to reduced size 'skinny' files (a la Thumbnails)
stored in the exhibits table. These are saved as files with the exhibit number
in a single folder of your choice.
- - The ability to 'swap' between the normal exhibits and
these 'skinny' files. This is of interest to VCF users who find the use of
'normal size' exhibits in a large project may cause VCF to stop printing. They
would also be useful in other applications such as WebPages. Internal exhibits
can also be written to the same folder.
- - An alternative indexing option using an internal routine ( cleaner solution to the need to reindex) but this may not work on all machines particularly Vista.
NO
Use of TMG V7 paths in place of those used in TMG V6.
