Hi Everyone:
I just released the latest update to Digital Rockhound’s Companion Version 3.0.5
This update is large in size and features.
When the DRC update is run, it will download .net 4.00 and crystal reports 2011 as needed if these libraries are not found on your computer. On a decent broadband connection you can expect the update to take 20-30 minutes to download install. The good news is that .net 4.00 and crystal reports update will only be ever installed once.
Requirements:
Microsoft .net 4.0 Framework
Crystal Reports 2011.
Enhancements
Redesigned Data Explorer, Mine Explorer and Map builder
Supports online maps from Open Street map, Bing and Google
Improved Fossil database
Added ability to add fossil images
Added Fossil labels
Enhanced Fossil support in Collection Manager
Upgraded to Crystal Reports 2011
Upgraded Application to use Microsoft .net 4.00 sp1
Added Support for Office 2003+ Word and Excel
Stabilized error handling specifically in the following areas:
When Starting up application and linking to data
In the Map control for Mine Explorer and map builder
Code used to manage upgrades
Bug Fixes
Incorrect DRC version number being displayed
Incorrect Distance label on Nearby mines
Folders being created in root of drive C:
