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.
What's New In Onfolio 2.01
Bug Fixes:
• Compatibility problems with Firefox 1.04 and later
Changes in Firefox 1.04, 1.05, and 1.06 could cause unexpected behavior when using Onfolio. Onfolio 2.01 addresses these issues.
• Improved framed PDF capture
PDF files that were displayed in a frame were captured as a link or as a page in Onfolio 2.0. In Onfolio 2.01, PDF files that are displayed in a frame are detected and you can capture them as the PDF or as a link to the PDF.
• Control characters in capture descriptions
In Firefox, capturing some sites would result in control characters being displayed in the capture dialog. Onfolio 2.01 remedies this.
New Features:
• Improved capture dialog<
Onfolio 2.01 introduces an improved Capture dialog that makes it more straightforward to select the folder that the item should be captured into. The capture dialog has also been made resizable, making it easier to navigate large collections.
• Customizable Installer
Onfolio 2.01 includes a customizable installer that is useful for large deployments. For additional information about this feature, please contact Onfolio at info@onfolio.com.
• Academic and Scientific Edition
Onfolio 2.01 introduces the academic and scientific edition of Onfolio. The Academic and Scientific edition of Onfolio includes features that assist with academic and scientific research on the internet. For more details about Onfolio Academic and Scientific, please see http://www.onfolio.com/product

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.
