Helpful Information and Known Issues

Installation Information and Known Issues

Important: If you are using Onfolio 1.0x with the .Net Framework version 2.0 (codename 'Whidbey'), you will need to uninstall Onfolio 1.0x before installing Onfolio 2.0.

Onfolio requires the installation of the Microsoft .NET Framework, a component that is distributed with recent copies of the Windows operating system. A brief overview of this technology is available at:

    http://www.microsoft.com/net/basics/framework.asp

Some systems may not have this set of required components installed.

The Onfolio Installer will verify that the required version of the Microsoft .NET Framework is installed. If it is not, the installer will begin a download and installation of the Framework. This download requires a network connection and is approximately 23 MB (about 5 minutes on DSL or a cable modem).

If you'd like to check to see if you have the .NET Framework installed or install the .NET Framework yourself, more information is available at:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/howtoget.aspx

• The final steps of the .NET Installation can take more than 30 seconds to complete. During this time, progress may not be displayed, but the installer is continuing and functioning normally.

General Information and Known Issues

To learn more about what is new in Onfolio, review the Getting Started Guide that automatically displays the first 2 times you launch Onfolio. It is also available from the Onfolio Program Group of your Start Menu.

Adding Onfolio button to Internet Explorer Main Toolbar (Windows XP Only)
In Internet Explorer, open View Menu and select Toolbars->Customize... Using the list box on the left side of the dialog, find the Onfolio toolbar button and add it to the list of current toolbar buttons.

• Unexpected errors
When Onfolio encounters an unexpected error, the dialog informing you of the error includes a button that will email error information to Onfolio. The error information that is mailed to us includes only information about the program's execution state, not any information about what is stored in Onfolio or any personal information about you. Please use this anytime you see an unexpected error.

Dealing with an unresponsive application
If Onfolio becomes unresponsive and opening and closing Onfolio doesn't fix the problem, there is an additional step that you can take to address the problem. Use the Task Manager to end a process called 'onfserv.exe.' (You can launch the task manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del. You can end a process by clicking the 'Processes' tab, selecting the process name from the list, and pressing the 'End Process' button.) This process works with Onfolio stored data, and if it becomes unresponsive, could cause any other Onfolio application to stop responding. Ending this process will not corrupt your data, and Onfolio will automatically start this process again when it is needed.

Onfolio Logs
Onfolio creates log files that can be helpful for diagnosing problems that have occurred. The following logs are available in the locations:

 

<document and settings>/Local Settings/Application Data/Onfolio/Onfolio.log

Logs errors and messages that occur while running Onfolio, the Deskbar, or the Publisher. If you experience an error or bad behavior while using Onfolio, this log may have helpful information.

 

<installdirectory>/Onfolio/Logs/install_log.txt

Logs messages that occur while doing final configuration of Onfolio. If your Onfolio installation has failed, this log may have helpful information.

Using Onfolio 2.0 with the .Net Framework 2.0 (codename 'Whidbey')
While Onfolio 2.0 does currently support the .Net framework 2.0, the installer for Onfolio 2.0 will require that the .Net Framework 1.1 be downloaded and installed. This should not interfere with any applications using the .Net framework 2.0.

Capturing complicated web pages as local copies sometimes doesn't capture the page exactly
When
certain web pages are captured as local copies of pages, they may not be saved exactly as you see them. This includes pages that have significant and complicated javascript, pages that include very complex Flash applications or movies, or pages that redirect you to other pages.

Search terms not captured for dragged and dropped links
When you capture an item using drag and drop, any search terms that may have been used to locate the item are not captured. You can work around this by using the capture button, the F9 key, or the right click menu to capture items.

Dragging and dropping to capture a linked image captures the link not the image
If you'd like to capture an image that is linked, you can right click on the image, selecting 'Capture Image to Onfolio' to capture the image. Dragging the image will instead offer to capture the link.

First line of reports occasionally will not allow formatting
Occasionally, text placed in the first line of a report will always retain its initial formatting. To work around this, you can select the text, copy the text, then paste the text over itself. This will cause the editor to rewrite the text, correcting the formatting.

Canceling while FTPing files using publish to the web shows error
If you cancel while FTPing a file from within Publish to Web, publishing will correctly stop FTPing the files, but you will also receive an extraneous error message. This error message will not affect anything.

Publishing a report to website hosted on an Apache 2.0 Web Server and Encoding
Apache 2.0 explicitly reports HTML files to have charset ISO-8859-1, in the HTTP headers. Our report html files are encoded in UTF-8, which is stated in our <META> http-equiv tags. In some browsers, the HTTP header sent by Apache will override the encoding we specify in our html files. This can cause reports viewed by certain browsers to display unicode characters incorrectly and to include other unusual characters. You can workaround this by using an .htaccess file to configure the Apache server to send the correct encoding. More information on .htaccess files and configuration can be found here.

While an image is selected in Publisher, indent buttons are disabled
You can work around this by using the Tab key to indent the selected image and using the Shift+Tab keys to unindent the selected image.
