Bug Fixes

QDS™ Version 4.0 Software Patch addresses the issues within the QDS™ module shown below:

Design Studio

Problem Description

The program would crash every time a user closed a Comments or Marker element.

This problem only occurred when running on a device that supports touch input. This now works correctly; the user is able to insert or view all Comments and Marker elements in a specifications file.

Fixed in version 4.0.0.7 (5/9/2019)

Negative values were not displayed correctly in the Codebook CSV file.

If a special response code or a numeric rating scale code was assigned a negative value, the number was displayed as a large positive integer in the Value column of the Codebook CSV Values file. Now it is output correctly as a negative number.

Fixed in version 4.0.0.6 (7/12/2018)

Find function sometimes failed to open the correct page when displaying an item on the Data Element property sheet.

If the search string was found and resided on the Notes tab of a Data Element property sheet, the program opened the Test tab, and if the search string resided on the Response Set tab, the program opened the Notes tab. This problem has been fixed. Now the program opens the correct tab and highlights the search string.

Fixed in version 4.0.0.5 (4/20/2018)

Data Entry

Problem Description

The program sometimes failed to update the composite variable for Date and Time of Day responses.

This problem only occurred if the question allowed a missing day and/or missing month and the "Allow a missing value for all non-ID fields" build option was turned on. (For Time of Day responses, the question needed to allow missing seconds and/or missing minutes.) If a user typed a valid month, then selected Code | Missing for day, and then typed a valid year, the program moved forward to the next question and stored the correct responses for each sub-component variable but the composite variable was never updated and showed up as "No value" in the Warehouse. This has been fixed so that the composite variable is always updated.

Fixed in version 4.0.0.6 (7/12/2018)

Warehouse Manager

Problem Description

Edit function sometimes failed to update the composite variable for Date and Time of Day responses.

This problem only occurred if the variable allowed a missing day and/or missing month. (For Time of Day responses, the variable needed to allow missing seconds and/or missing minutes.) If the user selected Edit | Details to modify response data and changed the value type for a sub-component variable from "Normal response" to "No value", the response for the composite variable was not updated. This has been fixed so that the composite variable accurately reflects changes to the sub-component variables.

Fixed in version 4.0.0.6 (7/12/2018)

Custom Dictionary Editor

Problem Description

The program failed to update AT&T Natural Voices configuration file.

When the user attempted to update AT&T Natural Voices(r) speech engine with a custom dictionary, the following message was displayed: "Access to C:\Program Files (x86)\ATTNaturalVoices\TTS 4.2\data\<language>\<language>.cfg is denied."

Fixed in Custom Dictionary Editor version 1.2.0.2. (3/19/2018)
