V9 upgrade

Ive received an email from Alibre informing me that V9 is now available but the Alibre software does not find any upgrades when starting, any one else had the same problem.

Cheers

I believe that the original email did not contain all of the needed information; this issue is being fixed as we speak. The rest of the instructions are as follows:

1. Sign into http://www.alibre.com using your username and password.
2. Click on the Account Info link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen
3. Click on the Upgrade to 9.0 link and follow the subsequent instructions.

What do you mean mis-installed?
And, I'm being requested to find the Alibre Design.msi file? I don't have this on my computer!

Went to make a coffee while it updated itself, when I came back it had frozen on start-up. I've un-installed and downloaded the full installer...

I'm fine now after a complete un-install/re-install. I think the glitch may have been a combination of updating plus the time-out problem.

V9 and Repositories

I know you cant please all of the people all of the the time but I am hugely disappointed that the repository is still not search-able in V9, when if ever will we see this feature. :(

I am working on an API plug in that will search the repository. I have it working with one exception. There is currently no way to access the date of the files. This is the last big hurdle I am trying to jump. I have been in contact with Alibre and am awaiting thier answer. I am really hoping that with the new expanded API this will be a snap to finish.

Currently I have it setup so you can search for specific file types in any combination of selected reps. You supply a search string, (including wild card searchs) then choose the file type(s) and reps to search.

The very nature of a binary file based repository makes indexing and searching an interesting task. I hope cclark's API plug-in works well!

I am not in any way speaking for Alibre. However, I know that intranet repositories, searching, etc. is not an unnoticed request. If I was a betting man I'd say we see the functionality in the latest at v10. But, I'd put my money on a v9 service pack.

There are times when I would've liked to have a search function. But, that is mainly the result of a poorly implemented file structure on my end!
