More trouble in dictionary land;
I've been able to add species that are currently missing from the dictionaries. This morning I added a few I had a note of and proceeded to run the import again. A few hours later I can get to matching species. I was expecting it to just remember all the matches but it only seems [can't be sure] to remember once I have made one search. I proceeded to make all the searches I think I needed and then went on to match missing items. It had not matched the names I had added this morning. I was able to search for them and add. When it came to a new species however I found I could not return it having just entered it. I could search for it and find it but as soon as I select it the 'return selected' button is disabled!
Not only that but in my frustration in trying to get it to accept my choice I fell foul of my previous comment in that the list returns to the first item in the dictionary in this case Chlorophyta [Phl].
At this point I was reminded that the help? You can delete any matches made by selecting the text in the relevant cell in the 'Recorder Matches' column and pressing the <Delete> key is a lie as it has never worked. In the past I have had to cancel the import, as I am now going to have to do, as it will not accept the species in the dictionary and will not allow me to delete the bogus choice that has been made. Luckily I have years to waste not importing data in to this database? What does one call a database that cannot accept data? Nonobase perhaps, anyway that's what I have so far.
I cannot write the feelings I have for this thing as I'm sure I would be banned.
