Problems with splitting items

[kinook]

The latest download (6.1.0.2) fixes the following issues:

1) Hang when splitting or importing item and Tools | Options | Import | Separator text is blank

2) Error undoing after splitting or importing item at root of tree

3) Updated the help to document the import options applying to Split and Join commands

4) Dropping text not honoring Split text on separator import option

Sorry Kinook, I don't want to drag this out, and I appreciate the work you've done, but I still have a problem with this new version.

My basic case is an item containing the lines:

item 1
item 2
item 3

I want to use Item > Split to turn this into three items. In Options > Import, in Separator Text I put two carriage returns. I understand now that the "Split Text on Separator" option isn't relevant for this operation so I just leave that unchecked.

When I now do Item > Split, I get the same error message as before. However, if I press ctrl-Z a few times, I get to a point where there are the three items, as originally intended.

So I can get to the objective, but it's an awkward way to do it and it makes me a bit wary of using the feature.

Does that occur in a new database?

[David_F]

Yes. My regular routine for testing this is to make a new database to try things out. However it also happens in existing databases.

Can you provide detailed steps on reproducing the problem?

This problem was occurring if there were unsaved changes to the current item when splitting. Fixed in the latest download (6.1.0.4).

Can confirm this works perfectly now. Thanks Kinook!
