Release 1.5.2 (August 3rd, 2009)

Previously, you could copy files to an nControl unit using FTP until the entire capacity of the system disk was used. This in turn prevented the unit from working.

In this version, a separate disk partition has been created specifically for storing media files. The media files partition is used automatically when you copy files to the nControl unit, ensuring that the main system partition is left with the required amount of free space.

Currently, non-administrator users cannot run NWare or Kiosk under Windows XP without additional steps being completed after the installation.

The administrator must change the permissions of the \program files\mediamatrix\nware <version>\plugins\nware\xml folder to allow write access for the non-administrator users. Once this has been done, NWare and Kiosk will operate normally.

For more information, see Allowing non-admin Windows XP users to run NWare and Kiosk in the PDF or webhelp NWare User Guide.

• To uninstall NWare under Windows Vista, you must complete the following procedure:
  • On the Windows Task Bar, click Start, click All Programs, Click NWare, and then click Uninstall NWare <version>.

    Note: It is currently not possible to uninstall NWare via Windows Control Panel, even if you are logged on as Administrator.

If you drag a device from the device tree over to the page, open the device block, and then press CTRL+Z to undo the operation, in the case of certain devices, NWare will close unexpectedly.

Note: This does not occur when adding all types of devices, but we recommend avoiding this exact sequence of steps as a precaution.

If you use the page locking feature, it is possible that NWare will not allow you to view the different pages in your project or add devices to the project. We have seen this problem occur in the following scenario:

1. A new NWare project is created.
2. A new page is added next to the default page and then it is locked (and automatically hidden).
3. The new page is shown again.
4. The first page is deleted.
5. The project is saved and then reloaded.

No page tabs are available, so different pages cannot be viewed or edited.

If you attempt to play audio files using the CHIMP option on the Wav File Recorder, no audio can be heard from the PC headphones. This problem does not occur under Windows XP – it is a Vista-only issue.

If you drag an XDAB device over to the page, the Virtual XDAB Properties dialog box is displayed. If specify a channel count value greater than 448, then display the advanced settings, override the normal channel limit and specify a new limit, when you close the Advanced properties dialog box and then the Virtual XDAB Properties dialog box, a warning message is displayed and the device cannot be created.

If you double-click an npa file to open it, the file is opened in NWare as expected, but a Command Prompt window is also displayed.

If you add the setting <hide_root_tab value = "true"/> to the Kiosk personality file to hide the page tabs in your design, and your project contains a button that switches to a new page, the display will flicker when the button is clicked.

When all the NION and nControl units on the network are set to use normal mode for time synchronization, if you change the time on the nControl unit via the web interface, the time is advanced by one hour from what is specified.
