Try the script in the Profile Tab just to prove its a GPO issue over anything else, at least then you have a clear pathway to go down in terms of troubleshooting..

No problem, I’ll post them before 10am. We’re redirect both the gallery and the lesson activity stuff.

Ours is on the network, works quite well, we also have the team content there too. It is just registry keys that point to the XML file in the gallery folder. If you still need help I can post our reg keys..

What type is the login script? Vbscript, Batch file etc?? I’d also go back to basics, put the script in the net login folder. If you have multiple DCs, make sure the script replicated as normal. Also make sure the permissions on the script have “Domain Users” set. Then make sure the logonscript path in the users AD profile tab is set correctly...

Nothing on chrome books but I can replicate it m, as the text control I use is available as a web component. But it is not free and costs £1000’s.... I’d love a complete cross platform solution but it’s very difficult to maintain with limited resources....

In your situation look at the documentation for the “fixes” and make an informed decision as to whether you need to upgrade. But this version is the best and most stable yet! (He says fingers and legs crossed)

Just a quick update.... After the release I have had a few longer standing issues to sort out which typically have now been fixed but missed the boat for this release by one day, arrgh!! The issues that will be fixed in the next build are: 1) ALT+F4 will no longer close the app including bypassing the candidate info window etc. This was done to stop candidates from exploiting these bypasses... 2) A new sound Library (NAudio) has been added to now detect wether the system is muted or not so that if you ask EWP to Mute Audio, it will do so unless the system is already muted, as EWP in this instance would unmute a muted system. Also because Im using this library with regard Narrator it will now detect wether the master sound volume is below 50% and raise it to 75% in order to hear the narrated voice. On the back of this audio library inclusion, it will allow EWP to possibly play CD Audio tracks etc in future so you dont have to use an external audio player. Hopefully EWP will have its own built-in. This type of feature will come in version 4, if possible. 3) If you have a branded custom logo on your splash screen, if you update EWP throught the built-in update, it will overwrite your logo with the default blank one, this issue has now been fixed. If you spot anything else in 3.9.0.0 drop it here or via www.examwritepad.com Thanks for your support as always!!

Update it within your current vrsion of EWP or go to the 'Download' page of www.examwritepad.com Remember to always test this version and report any bugs via the track on the website or here onEduGeek, before releasing it into a production/live environment. RELEASE NOTES · NEW: The standard Message Boxes provided with .Net Framework have been replaced for a new custom control to offer more flexibility with regards visual, layout, icons, text length and size. · NEW: You can now allow numbers in the Candidate Name text field. Set the config option “AllowAlphaNumericCandidateNames” = 1 to allow. The Candidate Name field has been extended to 48 characters in max length to accommodate those that wish to fudge other information into the candidate name where there is no option to do so. For example, inserting the candidate’s year group after their name. With this in mind you can also use the following additional characters of open/close brackets ( ) and hyphens. · NEW: Candidate Number field now support the use of an ‘Input Mask’. If you wish to for validation and conformity to it for candidate numbers used BTEC for example, where it starts with a letter then followed by six numbers. You can enforce this type of pattern/validation. The config option to turn on this feature is “MaskedInput_CandidateNumber”. For now, it only will support the following masks: 0 = Digit (required), 9 = digit or space (optional), L = letter (required), ? = Letter (optional). · NEW: Toast Notifications for Windows 10 have been added for future use. If you can think of ideas of how best to use this feature, please submit anything you can think of via the EWP website or though EduGeek. · NEW: Ability to auto print a coversheet after printing the main document. There is now a checkbox next to each Coversheet print button that you can manually set. Or set option ‘PrintCoverSheet_Form2_AfterDocumentPrint’ or ‘PrintCoverSheet_Form4_AfterDocumentPrint’ to 1 in the config, to have the auto print turned on without the candidate having to do it. · NEW: ExamWritePad now uses an XML Schema XSD file to detect any errors in the ExamText files you are trying to load. What used to happen is if you loaded/opened an incorrectly formatted ExamText file then the main document window would be blank. It’s now as simple as “now you see me, or I quit” outcome. The schema XSD file resides in the ‘Assemblies’ folder, so please do not move it or else you cannot open or save EWP files. · NEW: You can now retrieve all Candidate Names for Active Directory which will be displayed in a drop-down list on the Candidate Information window. The config options you need to look out for to set this up are: ‘AD_GetCandidateNames’, ‘AD_GetCandidateNames’, ‘AD_OU’, ‘AD_Auth_User’, ’AD_Auth_Pass’ and ‘AD_LDAPServer’. All LDAP connections are now via SSL (port 636) hence the request for a username and password. · NEW: ‘Test Default Printer’ Button now includes the computer name, IP Address and Username on the test printout. This has been added for situations where you have multiple computers printing to the same printer. · NEW: You can now specify the following defaults in the config: Candidate Name, Candidate Number and Exam Board. These options appear in the config editor as ‘ExamDefaultCandidateName’, ‘ExamDefaultCandidateNumber’ and ‘ExamDefaultBoard’. · NEW: Candidate Information screen, when re-editing the information, upon clicking “Exit” will display a yes/no message box to suggest there are unsaved changes. ‘Yes’ will cancel the exit allowing you to click on ‘Save and Exit’ and ‘No’ will exit without saving changes. · NEW: Added new option “Supress_Save_Messages” to supress the two saved file message boxes to aid the efficiency. Displaying these types of boxes sometimes are deemed overkill and unnecessary. ConfigEditorGUI has also had this option added. · FIXED: Previous Version History never resets its contents when you re-open the window having closed it, during the same EWP session. · FIXED: Encrypted ExamText files that try to run on EWP with no specified/incorrectly specified encryption key, would open up blank then you click on save or wait for the autosave timer to elapse and it would save also, overwriting all the work in the file. Now when you try to open an encrypted file it will go through a verification check before loading it or quitting the open file process with an error. You will no longer get a blank screen and the possible of losing your encrypted file. · FIXED: When 'Save Prompt After Candidate Info Screen' and 'Auto Save' are both enabled, if you leave open the ‘Save As’ dialog window and the Auto Save Interval has elapsed, a second ‘Save As’ window will appear. The Auto Save Interval has now been set to start after the ‘Save As’ dialog has been closed, thus now only one will appear. · FIXED: Restoring from Previous version via the splash screen, with also having option “Startup_SavePromptAfterCandidateInfoScreen” set to 1 would force you to save the same file twice. · FIXED: Error handling information has been added to those handlers that didn’t have any at all. · FIXED: ConfigEditorGUI when clicking on “Reset to Defaults” would not offer the save changes on closing the application. · FIXED: Fullscreen didn’t work when the ‘Startup_FullscreenMode’ was set to 1 along with option ‘DisableControlBoxes’ also set to 1. The latter option ‘DisableControlBoxes’ has now been removed and depreciated is it doesn’t serve a purpose. You either want a full screen with no control boxes (‘Startup_FullscreenMode’ = 1) or a normal screen with control boxes (‘Startup_FullscreenMode’ = 0). · FIXED: All text boxes and Combo boxes, when right clicking on them, bought up a generic context menu that isn’t relevant and pointless, all these menus have been removed so that the only context menu you now have is the main document window. · UPDATED: TXTextControl control has been updated to service pack 2, to fix known issues including an issue where message boxes appear behind the main EWP window when in full screen mode when using the Find/Replace option. · UPDATED: ConfigEditorGUI has been update to v3.9.0.0 to align itself with the new/deprecated EWP config options.

The feature is done and implemented in v3.9.0.0 please see the release notes on how to turn it on.

By the way, I haven’t forgot about releasing the new version, I’m fine testing it today so should be released tomorrow. Had a busy weekend so couldn’t spend as much time as I would have liked on it....[emoji1303]

It can already be fine in a fashion but I will come up with a better way soon

All working now, the backup solution in Wordpress was still running...

I’ll take a look thanks

Ive taken a quick look at your request and at this point in time, I wont be able to pursue it as it requires a look of moving things around and could get quite messy as the current Candidate Form is of a fixed size. I can how ever offer some light at the end of the tunnel, If you wish to add in a year Group to the header, just append the Candidate name box with the year group, for example: Joe Bloggs (Year 11.2), I appreaite not ideal but given that most schools have no more than 10 students taking an exam on a computer, its not too ownerous on a member of staff to make sure pupils have put the year group with in the candidate name field.

Just for those that dont know... Microsoft Dictation works natively with EWP. Makre sure you have an active internet connection and turn on "Online Speech Recognition" under the speech settings (Windows 10). Then press Windows key + H, click into the Main document window of EWP then click on the Mic icon on the dictation bar at the top of the screen. As soon as you start to talk it will write your spech into the EWP main document window.

Not at the moment because I only put in what is required by the exam boards. Years groups are likely to be required for internal mocks/end of year exams. I can do it no problem, it would have to be activated with a config option. I will add it to the list for the next version to be released at the end of March.

Your welcome [emoji1][emoji1303]

Be sure to look at all the config options via the config editor GUI just in case you need to disable any more things [emoji1303]

Yes please use it!! I want all UK educational establishments to use it... spread the word [emoji1][emoji1303]

Yes, via the config file, look for “Disable_Ribbon_Btn_Spelling” and set its value to 1.

EWP creates the paths if they don’t exist. If that fails it goes to the users temp folder. So the features never break [emoji1][emoji1303]

The auto backup feature stores copies in either the default location of the c:\ProgramData folder, or a path that you select in the config, so that if EWP is closed, you can reload EWP and go to previous history to recover the auto backup file, hence the time stamp in the file name. If you separate out the save path and backup paths do you still need me to create the feature you requested?

The auto-save and auto-backup locations should ideally be in different places for various reason but ultimately it’s your choice an what paths you choose...

Oh, you mean the auto-backups, I see! Yep I can do as you wish

Yes I’m sure I can do it but I’m confused. The auto-save feature saves the file back to the same file name. So are you suggesting that every students saved files are sitting the same folder? If so, that is not best practise as any user could essentially open up another persons file copy their work. I can create a config option that will allow the save to add a hidden attribute flag.
