Re: Recorder 2002 to Recorder 6 transfer errors
Hi Ian
The next upgrade to V6.9.3 is imminent, but, unfortunately Dorset Software now estimate that we won't receive the release here until mid November (due to the amount of bugs reported at the last minute and annual leave):(.
I emailed them yesterday to ask for a more accurate date of release (in view to updating the forum) and I plan to post any further information I receive on the announcements page.
The next upgrade (V6.9.3) will also include i) a species dictionary update, and ii) the ability for JNCC to provide species dictionary updates without having to develop a new version. We therefore anticipate providing more regular updates to the species dictionary for users in future - approximately once a month. The good news is that the species dictionary update provided as part of V6.9.3 will include an up to date BOU checklist.
From the development plan you will see that we do intend to improve a lot of the supporting areas around Recorder, including the Help, Getting Started Guide, installation guides, and are looking into providing further tutorials for users (all of this is a lot work but we will get there in the end :) ). As far as I am aware there isn't an equivalent user guide for Recorder 6, although some users (such as local records centres) have developed their own. Can you let me know where you found the Recorder 2002 user guide just so I'm clear on which document you mean? If there is a general need for an equivalent guide for Recorder 6 I can look into producing something similar in the future.
Many thanks,
Sarah
