Known Issues

Microsoft Internet Explorer caching prevents document check-in when logging on to multiple servers from the same KT Tools environment. (BBS-1570)

This issue occurs in multi-server KnowledgeTree Tools environments, in the following scenario: A user checks out a document from one server (Server A), and Microsoft Internet Explorer caches this file location, and the actual document. The user then checks out a document with the same file name from another server (Server B). However, in this instance, Microsoft Internet Explorer downloads the cached document (from Server A). When checking in the document in KnowledgeTree Tools, the document appears to check in, but when refreshing the KnowledgeTree Explorer interface, the document is still ‘checked out’. Clearing the IE cache resolves this issue.

Runtime exception occurs when attempting to save a document with the same name as a document that already exists in the 'Downloaded' folder. (BBS-1569)

This issue occurs when the document in the ‘Downloaded’ folder is ‘read-only’. Documents in the ‘Downloaded’ folder are ‘read only’ when they are opened from KnowledgeTree Explorer using the ‘Open as read only copy’ action. The workaround is to ensure that the document is not made ‘read-only’ on the Open action, or to ensure that documents you want to save in this way are not ‘read-only’.

An exception occurs when cancelling a ‘Save’ (to KnowledgeTree) action of a new XLSX document. (BBS-1559)

This issue occurs only in Excel, when in Edit mode (i.e. when you are actively editing a cell), then saving the document to KnowledgeTree. After selecting a ‘save’ location in KnowledgeTree, a system message informs you that a document with this file name already exists at that location. Click ‘Yes’ to replace the file, and your document is checked in to KnowledgeTree. Clicking ‘Cancel’, or ‘No’ triggers an exception. Dismissing the exception reverts to the pre-save state, and you will need to Save to KnowledgeTree again to check in your document.

Defect Repairs

BBS-1588: Copy folder does not work. KnowledgeTree Explorer does not support the copy action for folders via the right click menu. The ‘Copy’ action in the right click menu is only supported for documents in the KnowledgeTree Explorer interface.

BBS-1592: Client Tools and shortcuts. In KnowledgeTree Explorer, when browsing to a folder via a shortcut link in the KnowledgeTree Explorer interface, the folder content does not display. When dragging and dropping files and folders into a folder shortcut link, the dropped content does not display in the folder, and appears to be orphaned. This issue was fixed so that clicking on a folder shortcut link in the KnowledgeTree Explorer interface displays the folder content; and, when dragging and dropping files and folders onto folder shortcut links, this content is successfully uploaded to KnowledgeTree. Closed. Fixed.

BBS-1594: In KnowledgeTree Explorer, when attempting to paste a document that was copied using the Copy action in the document right click menu, the document copies to its current folder location, and not to the selected destination folder. The 'Copy' action was removed from the right click menu for folders in the KnowledgeTree Explorer interface. The 'Copy' action on the right click menu in KnowledgeTree Explorer is only supported for documents and not for folders. Closed. Fixed.
