Alerts are generated by comparing what's in the current database to what is in a new save file being read in. So to get alerts, you need to load in another save file for comparison.
Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Presently, only the sig int files can be recognized. So the file is named asigint.txt, jsigint.txt or something of that ilk with a date prior to the .txt extension. The first line of the file will read [font="Courier New"]SIG INT REPORT FOR [/font] and the date.
Delete the trackerdb.* files.

4 months after release and we're at 1.4 already !!

Not a big deal, but the Engine Planning under Air Production has the Availability date set up as mm/yy and it should be yy/mm.
I'd love to go mm/yy for all, but you Americans want to make my life difficult [;)], I'll fix it so it is consistent, the Engine Planning tool is good though -- right ? [8D] I work for peanuts and need your approval![:D] (still drunk from last nights debauchery)

One of the cases where sorting doesn´t work.
Seems to sort only the first number.
Saw this already when i filtered for dates somewhere.
Yeah sorry, I'll do this one too ...

Didn't realize that. Seems worse than XP security patches, but at least we're adding new features each time.

We complain about dd/mm instead of mm/dd. Please get our annoyances straight. [;)]

With mm/yy you'll need to add special sorting routines for the column -- yy/mm makes it easier.

Thanks for helping out Floyd. This is exactly why I mentioned this. Its all about the "sorting" routine. Damian's brain cells are still suffering from a lack of water. [:D]

If you use the appropriate Java classes, sorting should be easy.

It's actually the JTable component. If we use standard String or Integer sorting, it comes for "free", but anything else needs a custom sorter. They're easy to add.

Hello, I've just installed version 1.4. The main screen came up, so I assume it was successful. My problem is how to restart the program after exiting. The witptracker executable doesn't bring anything up. Which file should I use as the shortcut?

Many thanks,
Simon

I thought the Date and Calendar classes had their own orderings.

If you started up from the witptracker.bat file, then re-start using the witptracker.bat file. It takes a little while to start up (maybe 1 minute or more).

If you got errors loading it intially, I'd say everything after is suspect. Please try again and post the original errors.

Completely re-loaded Tracker v1.4, copying over all files. Re-ran *.bat file. Does not repeat original string of "-5 exceptions". Merely get the same thing as listed above.

What shall I try next ?

One other thing that I may be in err .....

I did not create a new folder to unzip the zipped file. Extracted it into the current Tracker directory in AE and overwrote all files it asked about. Not sure if this is important but did re-read your installation instructions and it does say to create a new directory .....

Nah, I doubt that's the cause.

Is it just one save file you've read in so far? If so, can you send it to me at witptracker@gmail.com so I can look under the hood on this error?

Thanks.

Scout 1 after a clean set up of Tracker on your c drive, in the settings try setting the save mode to 2.  I had alot of problems getting it to run and I just found that this works.  From testing I am sure that alot of the issues are caused by the latest update to C++.
