Product Scope 32 Bookmarks V3.2  Two versions - Viewer and Unlimited
Editing.

The Viewer version contains most of the features of the Unlimited
Editing version, but editing capabilities are restricted. For example,
up to 9 product records can be created and EDITED with the Viewer
version per directory. You can change to a known empty subdirectory,
and create more, but the limitations per directory are only removed
with Unlimited Editing registration.

When you change to a data directory which exceeds the editing
restrictions, the program turns into a View only mode.

The unlimited editing version includes an Import/Export program.

Version 3.2 Updated Features

Profile Exchanges available at Encourager Software Web Site

Profile Exchanges are data file sets (Product and Company profiles)
developed/coordinated by Encourager Software for a particular
interest group, and will be available at the Encourager Software Web 
Site:

http://www.encouragersoftware.com/

NEW Text Only Buttons

In order to simplify use of the program, most image on buttons have been 
changed to Text Only buttons. This also provides more consistent use of 
<Alt> + key combinations as well.

Product Image File

The product image file field in this latest update of the program is now 
saved as a local directory filename only - NO path information. To 
display the Product Image File correctly, product image files must be 
located in the current local directory and the local directory filename 
only with no path information must be entered in the Product Image File 
field. This was changed to add greater versatility to exchanging product 
data files and increase the usefulness of the Profile Exchange concept 
Encourager Software has developed.

The current local directory is displayed in the Main Window Titlebar:
ie: Product Scope 32 Bookmarks  - C:\Program Files\PS32 
BookMarks\Example Data\

If you have previously saved the product image file with path 
information, you must delete the path information before the product 
image file will display correctly in this V3.2 update.

Example: C:\Program Files\PS32 BookMarks\Example Data\ps32book.gif

Delete  "C:\Program Files\PS32 BookMarks\Example Data\"

Only ps32book.gif filename should be stored in the Product Image File 
field.

You can manually delete the path information on previously saved records 
or use the Product Image lookup button, locate and select the Product 
Image file.
