New in mysys 4.0.0.0 (Feb 11, 2020)

  • Added ability to view PDF's in the Web Browser tab.
  • Requires Adobe or compatible PDF Reader to be installed.
  • On windows 10 the recommended PDF viewer is Foxit Reader https://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-reader, it can coexist with Adobe but the default PDF viewer needs to be set to Foxit, this is because mysys needs to Run as Administrator which causes Adobe Reader to fail. Adobe is aware of the issue and hopefully they will fix it in the near future. Adobe works fine with Windows 7, 8 and 8.1.
  • If your PDF's do not display in the Web Browser tab please visit https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/acrobat/using/display-pdf-in-browser.html

  • Created qlaunch.exe to be used by the Scheduled task, it launches mysys and closes to assure the task status isn't kept in Running state
