Version 4 contains a few major changes from previous versions. Among the most notable are:
Vista compatibility: Cabinet Planner is now 100 percent Vista compatible. Unfortunately this means you
will need to re-register your copy(s) of the program if you are a current user. With the previous version
there was a problem when the program tried to read from and write to the registration and job files
because of where they were located. This is no longer an issue.
Panel optimizer: A panel optimizer has been added with this version. See the related in-program help
topic for instructions.
New file system: The file system used by the program has been significantly changed. Jobs are now
opened with a standard Windows file dialog. Also, there is now just one file for each job; the cabinets
and walls are included in the same file. With this change there is a limit of 200 cabinets/objects in each
job which shouldn't be a problem. Any jobs created with earlier versions are not compatible with this
version.
Along with the new file system comes the ability to have a 'Save as' function. This lets you save a job
under a different name or to a different location, including Cd's. If saving a job under a new name you
will probably need to change the Page Heading for the job as it is a separate function.
Note: Cd's created on an XP machine can be transferred to a Vista machine without problem, but Cd's
created with a Vista machine must use the "Mastered format" to work on an XP machine. Read this
Microsoft web page for more info or check your computer's manual.
Job name: You are now required to enter a job name before creating anything with the program. This
was done to streamline the code of the program and has no real affect on the overall use.
New Desktop Icon: Since Version 4 installs to a separate location on your computer than the older
versions, there will be two icons for the program when you install it and still have the older version
installed. Files from the older version are not compatible with version 4 so do not uninstall the older
version until you are sure you're done with any jobs created with it.
For the most part these changes are the result of updating the program to be Vista friendly. Also, over
the last two years all the upgrades have basically included a lot of patchwork to make it work with jobs
created with earlier versions. This gives me a chance to remove all this patchwork and start fresh again.
