What's new in LandlordMax Property Management Software 6.05d
Apr 13, 2012
- Fixed a bug where typing in the first letter of the city and/or state fields of an existing city/state would cause it to incorrectly set the text selection and make typing in the value difficult and error prone.
- Fixed a bug that was recently introduced in a recent update where some amount columns were sorted alphanumerically rather than numerically.
- Fixed a bug where the values from some of the comboboxes weren't always immediately refreshed on a database restore operation.
- Fixed a bug for the report "Cashflow grouped by buildings" where the amount calculated for buildings that had more than one landlord assiciated to the building could be incorrect.
- Fixed a bug where the pie chart in the report "Accounting entries grouped by unit for one building" wasn't always consistently generating the pie in some special cases depending on the data set.
- Fixed a bug where the Date Discrepancy would sometimes miscalculate the amount when it was manually entered. Once saved, and/or if entered with the mouse, the discrepancy was correct. The software now always correctly displays the date discrepancy, regardless of if you use the calendar or manually type it in.
- Fixed a bug where the Building associated to the Landlord wasn't always saved on the first save attempt, it had to be done on a successive save in some situations.
- Fixed a bug where the selected Landlord on the Landlord/Building popup association window was incorrectly selected if it had been pre-sorted before.
- Fixed a bug where if you deleted a single residential home the building combobox in other areas wasn't updated until the software was restarted. It is now immediately updated.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes on some systems the popup Scheduled Entry dialog window wasn't wide enough to fully display all the information.
- Adjusted the column names of several reports where the space between the words in the column names was missing.
- Fixed a bug where the date of birth for the tenant wasn't cleared when creating a new tenant.
- Reduced the max RAM settings for the application to use at most 800mb because some systems were not able to correctly utilize the previous max RAM setting of 1024mb (only for 32-bit systems, 64-bit systems will continue to use up to a max of 1024mb RAM)
- Fixed a bug where you sometimes couldn't create a new "Daily" Scheduled Accounting Entry.
- Fixed a bug when exporting QIF files with accounting entries with empty values for the Date Paid (no longer includes the date line in the QIF file).
- Fixed a bug where in some cases the login credentials for a just restored database that was password protected weren't always immediately requested. Now it's always immediately required.
- Fixed a bug where an invalid image somehow saved into the software for the logo could cause the Preferences section to hang when loaded the next time. Now it will present an "Invalid" image for the logo if this should ever happen.
- Fixed a bug in the Vehicles tabbed panel under the Tenant where the Comment field was not always correctly being updated.
- Fixed a bug where the Amount Due column was not displayed in the report "Accounting Entries grouped by tenant" export files only (Excel, PDF, etc.).
- Fixed a bug where the date columns wasn't wide enough for the date format MMM dd, YYYY (for example Jan 12, 2012) for dates in May.
- Printing the list from the main accounting and workorder list screens now correctly respects the date format preference set by the user.
- Fixed the printout for the report "Late accounting entries for an account" so that all the column appear on the printout rather than just within the software.
- Fixed a bug in the "adjusted for % owned" reports where the date format preference wasn't correctly adhered to.
- The dates on the line items for both receipts and invoices are now correctly formatted according to the date format preference set by the user in the preferences section of the software rather than the default date format.
- "jpeg" is now also an excepted file extension for images within the software, along with "jpg" and "gif".
- The version comparison for restoring a database now compares both the version number and the patch letter.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes when an accounting color code was changed and saved the screen didn't immediately reflect the change.
- Adjusted the widths of the columns Description and Category in the report "Expenses for a building" so that they didn't overlap with their columns on the right.
- Fixed a bug where on some computers the width of the popup dialog windows for some of the accounting feature were not the full required width on some systems.
- Changed the error message when trying to restore to a newer version so that it says it's not forward compatible rather than backwards compatible.
- Fixed a bug where part of the address in the report "Expenses for a building" in the report header was whited out.
- Fixed a bug where you can now add spaces or commas in the Amount for the amortization table (for example 1 000 000 or 1,000,000 for 1 million).
- Fixed a typo where the field use to be labelled "Date Discrepency" to where it's now labelled "Date Discrepancy".
New in LandlordMax Property Management Software 6.05c (Nov 22, 2011)
- All data entry fields have been widened to better fit the minimum screen size of 1024x768 (and higher). This means that the description fields, date fields, etc. have more room before the field starts scrolling.
- Adjusted the default sorting order on the following reports from Date Due only to Date Due, then Building, and then Unit:
- Rent Roll
- Rent Roll for a building
- Lease Expiration
- Lease Expiration for a building
- Late rents
- Late accounting entries
- Adjusted the text on the upgrade notice popup window to inform the user which upgrades are included in the year of free upgrades and which upgrades would require an upgrade license purchase at a 50% discount.
- Fixed a bug where the report "Late accounting entries for a tenant" would fail to initial load the screen in some instances.
- Fixed the auto-select on the tenant comboboxes so that if you type in a letter, it will select that tenant.
- Fixed a bug where the lease information didn't always save the first time a Tenant was saved.
- Fixed a bug where the mortgage information didn't always save the first time a Building was saved.
- Fixed a bug where the full date couldn't displayed within the date fields on the Mac only (ie. required scrolling).
- Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the look and feel of the application to revert when the calendar popup dialog window would appear.
- Fixed a bug where the stacktrace wasn't always logged to the llmax.log file.
- Fixed a bug where adding too large a year (such as 20094) in the Date fields would cause an error.
New in LandlordMax Property Management Software 6.05b (Nov 22, 2011)
- Added tenant phone numbers to Late rents report.
- The Categories tabbed panel in the Accounting Workarea now has the rows color coded according to the type of category (red for expenses and green for revenues).
- Fixed the report "List of expiring leases grouped by building for one landlord" when a Start/End Date was entered which could cause the software to error.
- Fixed a bug on the reports where the totals column would render the incorrect color (the amounts are always correct, only the color could sometimes be incorrect).
- Fixed a bug on qif files that were imported with accounting categories that contained apostophes.
- Fixed a bug when verifying a backed up database as part of the backup process when the file extension wasn't included.
- Fixed a bug where that could occur if you created an invoice without selecting a tenant and then later tried to edit it.
- Added gray column header to the "Late Rents" report.
New in LandlordMax Property Management Software 6.05a (Nov 22, 2011)
- Fixed an upgrade bug (only occurs when upgrading) that could cause issues with the tenant data if at least a tenant from the previous version (3.11f) had an email associated to it, and that email also met a specific set of criteria. Although very rare, if all the specific criteria were met, it could cause damage to the tenant information. If you do encounter this error while upgrading, please upgrade to version 6.05a and then "Restore" your database from your pre-upgraded backup database. This will complete resolve the issue and your data. If you're unsure how to do this, or what this means, please contact us at [email protected] and we would be more than happy to further assist you.
- If you've already upgraded and not encountered this issue (ie. you had no tenants with emails that meet both specific criteria), then no further action is required, you are not affected (please note it is extremely rare, so the odds of encountering this bug are very very low, and if you do, it will be immediately apparent).
- Fixed a bug which caused Scheduled Entries to be saved when the popup dialog was closed by pressing on the "X" (the close window button). This could result in a processing bug for Suggested Entries if no Start Date was entered in the popup dialog.
- Fixed a bug for the report "Accounting Entries for a category for a tenant". The pie chart option has now been removed since it's not applicable and could cause the program to error.
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't print an individual accounting entry without first saving it.
- Fixed a bug with images that have Invalid ICC Profile Data. This is a bug within the programming language and not LandlordMax, therefore images with this issue are no longer allowed to be saved withing the software.
- The internal database is now significantly further compacted/compressed as part of the database backup process.

- Databases from versions older than 2.12 (1.08, 1.02, and 1.00) which use the old database engine will no longer be supported. These will now need to be upgraded by contacting LandlordMax at [email protected].
