Change Details

This is a list of the major fixes and changes that have been made from the last release (2.1) to this release (2.2).

Description	Remarks
If a networked drive was disconnected (if the remote computer for example was restarted) could QMAN sometimes crash. This has been corrected so that the process that was mapped to the networked drive now will be disabled instead.	Reported by VLT-Press 1999-12-07
When doing a backup did not the backup contain the files in the GFM Main directory but only the directories and all it contents. This has been corrected.
When creating a new schedule did not QMAN warn if there wasn’t any script entered. This would cause QMAN to crash when the script should be started. This has been corrected so that you cannot create a new schedule without having entered the script.
