  • Several other minor issue have been addressed.

3.5.2 Known Issues:

  • Incompatibility with Mountain Lion dictation feature: Attempting to use the Dictate feature of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" may cause a crash. This issue is under active investigation. (There are no other known incompabilities with Mountain Lion, so using this version should work fine as long as you don't use Dictate while in HyperRESEARCH.)

3.5.1 Fixes and improvements:

  • A problem that caused the Frequency Report tool to occasionally report an error has been fixed.
  • An issue with Importing Studies containing Group names identical to Code names (or vice versa) has been addressed
  • Several minor cosmetic issues have been addressed.

3.5.1 Known Issues:

  • Word Counter doesn't exclude short words and accented characters:  In the Word Counter tool, the "Ignore words shorter than N characters" setting is not respected, and words shorter than the specified length are counted and displayed. Words in the "Words to Ignore" list that include accented characters are not excluded.
  • Incompatibility with Mountain Lion dictation feature:  Attempting to use the Dictate feature of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" may cause a crash. This issue is under active investigation. (There are no other known incompabilities with Mountain Lion, so using this version should work fine as long as you don't use Dictate while in HyperRESEARCH.)
  • Installation error message when an alias is present:  Under OS X, if there is already an alias for HyperRESEARCH on the desktop, the Installer may display "Couldn't create shortcut (0)." at the end of installation. (This error message does not prevent HyperRESEARCH from being installed correctly.)

Compatibility with previous version:

  • HyperRESEARCH 3.5.2 is fully compatible with all files saved by version 3.5.
  • Compatibility of HyperRESEARCH with operating system versions is unchanged.
Upgrade status:
  • This version is a free upgrade for all users of version 3.0 or later.

Do You Know...

... that in HyperRESEARCH you can use keyboard shortcuts to code audio and video? Just play your source file while listening and/or watching. When you come to the starting point of a segment you want to code, press Control-[ (if you use Windows) or Command-[ (if you use Mac OS X). Continue playing the segment, and when you reach the end of the part you want to code, press Control-] or Command-]. Your chosen segment is now selected, ready to have a code applied!

(This tip can be particularly helpful when you have a long source file and it's difficult to place the play head precisely enough at the spot you want to code. Using the keyboard shortcuts lets you code interactively, without fiddling with the controls on the screen.)
