主な仕様変更およびバグフィックス

February 22nd 2008, Version 8.7 released

Known issues: Files with long names (>31 characters) will not be automatically re-found when moved to a new location.

Changes:

1. You can now paste in an entire spreadsheet of keyword values into the Workspace for easy editing! (Click here)
2. You can now "Marquee" select (click and drag to select multiple items) in the Group analysis list.
3. Mouse-wheel scrolling is enabled in the Group list.
4. Horizontal mouse-wheel scrolling (shift-key while scrolling) is also enabled.
5. FlowJo has a new Preference to annotate gates shown in graphs with generic FJML, allowing more flexibility on what to show (for example, statistics or annotations).
6. Keyword lists show keywords in a more useful order (with user-defined keywords at the top); also, recently-selected keywords ("favorites") are shown first.
7. Autocompensation Scripting Platform has been updated: the user-interface has been improved, and features such as compensation gate validation have been added.
8. Site License information (contact information etc) is available to Site Licensees in the About FlowJo window.
9. Layouts can be added and deleted immediately, without having to wait for the current one to finish drawing.
10. Keyword Search & Replace: All instances of a search string within a single value are replaced at once.
11. Keyword values are not subjected to "Significant Figures" preferences when output in Tables.
12. With scientific notation set, all axis values are shown as such (not just exact log ticks.)

Bug fixes:

1. Layout Editor Batch Discriminator and Iterator keyword lists are now in the same order.
2. Editing a compensation matrix a second time does not falsely flag unchanged values as changed.
3. You can now delete summary statistics in the dialog window with the delete key as you would expect.
4. We now correctly interpret EXPO V2 non-standard files having erroneous keyword values for parameter bit　lengths.
5. Batch from layout direct to printer: output is properly paginated even without going through the "Custom…" dialog
6. Kinetics no longer reports (incorrectly) that FJ-created time parameter is not monotonic.
7. Platforms: when using arrow keys to move constraints, FlowJo no longer deselects the constraint.
8. We now allow outputting of all ascii characters (like "µ") in keyword values.
9. When group gate are renamed, FlowJo prevents a "/" (slash) in the name.
10. No error is generated if reading an exported data file that has compensated parameters, no uncompensated parameters, and a compensation matrix.
11. Error messages are improved when there is an error reading layouts or if there are too many events on the axis.
12. Robust CV calculations on biexponentially-scaled parameters are optimized.
13. FlowJo allows any length boolean gate specification (It was having problems after 256 characters).
14. Save As Template does not show file as being "currently open" (a bug from 8.7b9).
15. Cell cycle–remove debris gates initially are set to reasonable positions for all cases.
16. Cell cycle–immediately recalculates fit if any constraint for CV is changed.
17. Layout Editor–cannot select pseudocolor or polychromatic plot as graph types for overlays .
