OEBackup.exe doit etre dans le meme repertoire que OETool

Button 9: lancer DBXtract ou DBXtend si install�.

DBXtract.exe doit etre dans le meme repertoire que OETool. If you have DBXtend, then it will be launched instead of DBXtract.

Button 10: Ouvrir le message PLEIN ECRAN (right click or use ALT-F4 to close. Does not show images in OE 5.5.)

Button 11: Nettoyer le cache (OE en met plein et ne nettoye pas .)

The program can be monitored in the system tray. Right clicking or double clicking the icon in the system tray will enable you to end the program.

OETool was a challenging and fun program to write. I hope you, as users of OE, enjoy it as much using it as I did writing it.

KNOWN ISSUES

This was a rather tricky program to write, also, and there are some known things that users of version 1 will have to accomodate:

1. The Options popup screen may flicker on and off when clicking on one of the plain text toggle buttons.
2. The Views Drop Down Combo Box may be obscured by the OETool Toolbar. This can be corrected by clicking where the Combo Box is located.
3. Although the program runs in the background, it has been reported that sometimes it does not display the toolbar in OE, if OE has not yet been started. If that is the case, end the program and then restart it.
4. OETool will not run if background compaction is enabled for the current Identity. The program will exit, if this is the case and you must disable background compaction and then restart OETool. (This is by design for security purposes).
5. If you run DBXtract from OETool, it is not recommended that you attempt to extract from a folder that is open in OE. Otherwise, there might be a collision of DBXtract operations with those of OE itself and message store damage could result.
6. There are some issues with images not displaying and scripts not working correctly in some cases in the Fullscreen window. These issues are being investigated.
