1 If you want to add somebody's name as a registered user just for the hell of it, pass the following string to the program at run time: /Register Firstname Lastname.

2 if you don't like the selection of category and owner name icons, feel free to get your own. Just keep the directory structure that I provided or change the code to suit your program flow.

Miscellaneous items

1 You can supposedly drag a title from the list to another category and that will update it to that new category. It worked last time I tried it:)

2 If you drag and drop a properly formatted text file onto the title area, it opens as a new record and the title and information are filled into the correct areas.It's the same rule as in "Import Item"

1 I could never get proper DPI scaling to work on Windows 10 and as that is the only O/S that I have, I have given up. If you can get the entire program to work somehow with DPI, please do so. I am too tired to fight with this any more. After 4 and a half years of the pain and frustration of the Windows Insider program, I have quit and just stopped fighting it.

2 I am also too damned tired and hot to learn how to use threads and speed up the display. I am getting older and tireder, my eyesight isn't what it used to be and it's time for someone else to do this if they care to.

3 I can't remember what bugs there are and what else has to be done. Someone can maybe fill me in.

Backup database

Backup the current live database to the backup directory with an extensiona dded on that is the day of the week.

Convert database

Convert and import an old Keeper database into Myinfo. No table checking is done, it is assumed the user didn't rename anything. Duplicates are ignored by title, information and category. All 3 must be unique. Duplicates cans till occur however due to the user making constant changes to existing records that may differ in an older database that is no longer being used but imported nonetheless.

Export database

Export the current database to Text and XML files on disk in the backup directory. Csv files cannot be added to to the complicated nature of textual information.

Import database

Import an XML database from disk. Due to the nature and formatting of text files, this format is currently not supported for import.

Open a database

Open someone else's MyInfo database. Any missing tables will be created and retained when this database is closed by re-openning another one.

Vacuum database

Clean the database of all entries that are currently marked as Deleted. This is similar to using the Kill function but goes through the entire database at once. This process is irreversible.

You will be asked if you wish to mark each record being merged as deleted as they are being processsed.

When you open a particular program window and select the help function for that window, a default help file is created if not exists that will also give you a clue as to where it belongs by the file name.

Changed: Remove leftover editlog code from the save data routine. Don't need it, forgot it was there.
Changed: Reordered all the declarations to match the order of includefiles, added some missing ones.
Changed: Removed borders from all gadgets on the front form. Easy for you to change if you don't like it.
Changed: Most preferences are saved in their respective procedures instead of the huge dump at program end.
Changed: Main form is hidden while asking for startup password.
Changed: Minor but..search record limit is saved when it happens and not the end of the program.
Changed: Message queue priority for various toggles was changed because they didn't always make it into the log.
Changed: Fixed some icon missing messages for comboboxes to better reflect the problem reported in the log.
Changed: Most routines get the category name directly from the database instead of complicated string routines. Less chance of errors.

Fixed: All balloon font colours are now changed in real time.
Fixed: Toolbar is now properly hidden or shown.
Fixed: All fonts are now properly changed when selected but Windows 10 still sometimes has glitches with this.
Fixed: Some messages for procedures were duplicated onto other procedures instead of their own.
Fixed: Crash in EditCategory because font enumeration was running before the window was open.
Fixed: After adding a category, icon was wrong until program restart. SortCategoryEntries didn't set the icons.

Added: The ability to save attachments into the JSON code courtesy of TheWeavester. Hope I did it right.
Added: The ability to select the level of logging you want MyInfo to output. Gui front end.
Added: Save and restore the last category displayed in MyInfo
Added: Text database export also saves the attachments now as base64 encoded text.
Added: Log level form shortcuts to keyboard shortcuts list.
Added: When a category is highlighted, Add new record selects that as the default category.
Added: Address book and home inventory icon as I tend to add my info here instead of dedicated software.
Added: Itemtype field to record form as I will add extended form editing to address and inventory items eventually. (Maybe?)
Added: Extra 'debug' field for coders to include their own temporary info in the logs instead of in-your-face debug (SetInfoBarArea)

14/01/2019

Added: Add toggle switch to keep balloon tooltip background standard or random. Main form cannot be changed except at startup.
Added: Import older Keeper databases into MyInfo, adding everything except duplicates.
Added: Import non duplicate categories from Keeper databases. Icon names are not kept as icon store for Keeper may be located elsewhere.
Added: Import non duplicate owners from Keeper databases. Icon names are not kept as icon store for Keeper may be located elsewhere.

FixMe: Toolbar is still being hidden on restart even though the options has been set to show.

ToDo: Allow balloon tooltip colours to be changed in real time on the main form.
ToDo: Give users the ability to change to their own fonts? (Didn't always work right before)
ToDo: Fix the forms greying out on the conversion list. Can't get threading right.
ToDo: Allow other MyInfo databases to be imported in addition to Old keeper ones.
ToDo: When attaching databases, determine type by available tables and branch accordingly.
ToDo: During Export, make sure XML, CSV, Text AND sqlite export files are created at the same time.

04/01/2019

Fixed: Left behind a strange message about stuffing ducks. Don't remember why.
Fixed: ReadOnly|WordWrap missing from scan window document name.
Fixed: Balloon tooltip toggle shortcut assigned to colour banding somehow.
Fixed: Search button wasn't enabled as hoverable on Add or Edit data screens.
Fixed: Help and search buttons got accidentally swapped around. Help should always go last.

Added: Aquire document from scanner to attach to a record.
Added: Added a choice to cancel multiple attachments from storage.
Added: Warn level events are also logged now.
Added: My copy of the code uses random colours for the balloon tooltips each time a procedure is called. A toggle switch will be available to keep this standard.

Changed: Redundant word "password" from Keeper changed to just "information"
Changed: Turning off colour banding changes it in real time now. (Not right yet)
Changed: Colour band colours are less harsh now. (Friend suggestion)
