Outstanding tool! However, I have some problems with it:
- Op-Reports don't seem to work at all. (Intel works fine!)
- "Game Entry/Edit" dialog doesn't allow change of game date. "Save" is greyed out. Can only be cancelled. Sometimes "cancel" doesn't work either and the window can neither be closed nor edited because all options appear to be frozen.
- In WITP Manager Options dialog there is no button so save the changes. All changes stay at default settings.
- In order to update the reports in WITP Intel/Ops Report there should be a refresh button in that window. If I go back to the utility and click on "report" to refresh" and don't close the report window before a second window will be opened.
- I would like to see the possibility to resize the report window.
Do you have both operationsreport.txt and com_operationsreport.txt files in the main WitP Save folder?
Do you have a com_operationsreport.txt file in the XXX folder (XXX is the game save slot number) sub folder of the Save folder?
Any clues in the TraceLog.txt file in the utility program folder?
The program does some basic sanity checks before allowing the "game" to be saved. These are done after you finish editing a field. Try tabing to the next field, or clicking on another field to get the "save" button active.
As for lock ups, what field(s) are you editing when it happens?
Is WitP running when you make the changes?
Note that changing the scenario, save game slot or game date with the report form loaded will cause a reload of all the scenario data and intel/ops reports which may take some time to complete. I'll check that I have an hourglass cursor running on the edit form to indicate this is happening, and add a comment to the status bar.
- In WITP Manager Options dialog there is no button so save the changes. All changes stay at default settings.
This form contains the config settings applied when you start the program. Changes are written to the start up config file when you exit the form, so there's no need for a save button. However, when you open the form, some settings are set to the current options. For instance, if you are currently NOT autoarchiving game save files, this option will be set to off on the form when it's opened. Changing the settings on the options form should be remembered and applied when you start the program. Try changing the settings to what you want, then restart the program.
(The "Export Only Valid Rows From Scenario Database Files" option is not currently saved in the start up configuration file, but would be applied if the exports were functioning correctly.)
- In order to update the reports in WITP Intel/Ops Report there should be a refresh button in that window. If I go back to the utility and click on "report" to refresh" and don't close the report window before a second window will be opened.
The reports should auto refesh if there is new data when the report options section is activated. Clicking the report button again shouldn't cause a second form to open, and I'll fix that to force a refresh of the report. There was a refesh button on the report form until the last round of tinkering when I added the auto refresh. Maybe I'll put it back.

Nico,
Seems we're making some progress. I had a fear that date changing may cause problems. However, you shouldn't need to change the date. If your game is already in progress, leave the default scenario start date when you enter a new "game". It should automatically update to the current game date after the next turn resolution (assuming you have the save intel/ops reports active). I may lock the date field in future editions.
