Hi Beta Testers!

Just to say I uploaded the new cut of the 6.5 beta this morning, including the new Reading Template feature.

Cheers
Richard

Hi Richard!
Looks great. Just played around a little bit. Love that you added a place for text at the top and bottom :o) And that you can have a standard text from the beginning of the wizard that can go into each and every reading. Now I can just put my reading template here and no more copy and paste!

I did want to mention that when you convert to RTF and select from the reading wizard it is not using the card images, but an image from the reading wizard. They are small and include a black box around the card. I would prefer the card image :o)

Also from the Create or Edit.. you can't tab and enter to select which one you want.. I'm a keyboard kinda gal so thought I'd mention that.

Also hope that adding a card is still a possibility (lol... i'm not going to quite asking .-) you've spoiled us).

As I play around and use it more I'll let ya know if I notice anything else.

You Rock!!!
Shari

Shari,

you just beat me to it!!!

I was just playing too. Richard, this is absolutely fantastic. Thanks.

I love the way that you can move the order of the LWB, Personal Notes, and/or Spread Notes up and down. It gives us so much flexibility.

Woohoo!

Hi Shari, Scorp...

Great - thank you both for the feedback. I have already made some of the tweaks you mentioned so there will be another beta appearing in a few days, hopefully the last one before 6.5 is ready now.

I occurs to me that now I have changed the format for card notes to include reversed meanings, I really need a new set of card notes to supply with the Traditional Tarot - one that includes reversals. Do you think between you you could come up with something along these lines, a kind of Orphalese LWB?

Cheers
Richard

Hi Richard & Scorp,
I don't really use standard Rx. meanings, however I'm sure I can come up with something .-) Maybe we can split the deck? How about you Scorp?

I'd love to help ya out :o)

Dear Richard,

it would be my absolute pleasure to help out.

Now, only problem is - I don't read reversals at all (and I'm more of an Oracle gal) so coming up with a reversed interpretation for a Tarot deck is not something that I even know if I can do. But, if somebody has the interpretations, then I'm more than happy to convert them to card notes (or anything else that I could do to help).

What's the best way to go about this? Richard, should you send Shari my email address so we can take this discussion off line?

Regards
purple_scorp

Hi Scorp

OK will do. It will have to be later because I don't have access to my emails right now (guess where I am!).

BTW, you can email anyone in the All Users list through the email link there - then they decide whether they want to give away their email address or not by replying.

Cheers
Richard

Hi Scorp

Excellent! I tried to reply to this message yesterday but I thought it was an email you had sent me directly and missed the fact that it was a forum post (don't worry, I am going to fix these design problems with the forum soon!).

I just wanted to add that although I am talking about releasing 6.5 soon, it isn't a deadline for the card notes or anything else. The card notes, like the various translations etc, can be added in as and when they are ready.

Cheers
