Edit notes Windows 8.1 causes problems on earlier Window version #490

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Edit a KeyNote file on Windows 8.1 (originally created/edit on another 
Windows version such as Win 7 or XP)
2. Open the *.knt file on an earlier Windows (e.g. 7 or XP) and edit a note
3. When the note is saved, observe some problems (see below)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Notes should be portable and editable across windows platforms with no problems 
editing/saving notes.  Instead various problems occurred when and edit file is 
saved; I've noticed each of the following happening in different cases:
- the keynote app hangs - and must be killed
- the edited note is corrupted in some way - text/content is merged, or gets 
deleted (Create Hyperlink would pop up as well once).

What version are you using? On what operating system?

KeyNote-NF 1.7.9.3 Beta 3 on Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 7 Pro, Windows XP SP3

Please provide any additional information below.

I think I found a work around for this, based on this forum topic:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/keynote-nf/pYQ_TdJL-Mc

Taking the msftedit.dll from my Windows 7 \windows\system32 folder and copying 
it into the folder containing keynote.exe on my Win 8.1 system seems to fix the 
problem (so far anyway).

Fwiw, I never had problems going between Win 7 and XP, but problems occur on 
both Win 7 and XP when edited on 8.1.
