| Client | 1011995 Laserfiche Does Not Save Field Search Settings. (37994) |
| Client | You may not be able to open Laserfiche document shortcut files (.lfe) on Windows Vista when you first install Laserfiche. You can resolve this issue by loading the client once using the "Run as Administrator" option. (37506) |
| Client | An "Error determining word locations." error occurs when viewing OCR'ed Asian language documents that contain linked annotations. The OCR engine does not generate word location information for multi-byte Asian languages. (36543) |
| Client | You may need to restart you computer after installing the Laserfiche Client. (36106) |
| Client | Opacity levels for image annotations may not display correctly in exported PDF's. (35697) |
| Client | Pressing the SPACEBAR will not automatically populate the date fields in the Modification Date search interface. (35557) |
| Client | The "Recent Documents" listing in the File menu can truncate path information using a ellipsis. This means that documents with the same name that are located in different parts of your repository may appear as duplicate items in the "Recent Documents" listing. (35149) |
| Client | There may be certain annotation display issues when using the Laserfiche Client through Remote Desktop. For example, a sticky note may display as black even though you chose a different color. However, after saving changes, the sticky note appears as the desired color. Another example is that attachment annotation icons may not display properly.(33325, 34844) |
| Client | You cannot remove the assigned template when you multi-select multiple documents.(26049) |
| Client | The Record Folder properties dialog remains in writable mode even after you perform certain record management actions the prevent the changes from taking place. For example, you can change the assigned cutoff instruction on a record folder that has already been cut off. However, since the record folder is already in disposition, the change has no effect on the record folder. (33599) |
| Client | Temporary files created during the text extraction process may not be properly deleted when you attempt to extract text from an unsupported file type. (31727) |
| Client | Pressing the SPACEBAR will not automatically populate a date/time field if the field already contains a value. (28005) |
| Migration | Field names are migrated over in all lowercase letters. (33295) |
| Scanning | When reloading Laserfiche Scanning after a crash, you can choose to recover documents that have not been sent to Laserfiche. Template data may not properly display for the recovered documents. However, this is only a display issue and the data is not lost. When you send the documents to your repository, the template data will be properly saved. (37730) |
| Scanning | Scanning will not automatically create a subfolder if a document with the same name as the folder Scanning is trying to create already exists in the parent folder. When you try to send your documents, the Output Log will display a "The parameter is incorrect" error message. You can manually create the desired subfolder and resend the documents. (37698) |
| Scanning | Field data in a single field may not be properly saved if you do not change cursor focus to another element before clicking the option to send to Laserfiche. For example, if you scan a document, choose a template, specify field data in two fields, and send while the cursor is still in the second field, the value you specified in the second field will not be saved in Laserfiche. (37411) |
| Scanning | Laserfiche Scanning and the OCR engine are both components of the Laserfiche Client installation. During the Laserfiche Client installation, if you choose to install Laserfiche Scanning, but do not choose to install the OCR engine, the OCR process in Laserfiche Scanning will be available. However, if you configure your scanning process with an OCR process, it will silently fail. (35524) |
| Scanning | The Paper size drop-down list may not function properly when using WIA scanner drivers. (35371) |
| Server | 1011994 An Exported Volume May Not Include All Documents. (38536) |

| Server | Annotation and document creator information is preserved when exporting a briefcase. if you then import the briefcase into the same repository, the information is retained. However, if you import the briefcase into a different repository, the annotation creator and document creator properties will be left blank as it is possible that no such user exists in the repository. (33898) |
| Server | Uninstalling Laserfiche on Windows Vista may not immediately remove all Laserfiche files from the Windows SxS folder. Windows Vista maintains strict control of that directory and only records that an uninstallation process has requested that files be removed from the WinSxS directory. Windows Vista will then decide to remove the uninstalled files at a later time. (33308) |
| Server | An administrator with the Manage Trustees privilege can delete Laserfiche user and group accounts. If this administrator does not also have the Set Trustee Privileges privilege, deleting all user and group accounts can create a scenario where the remaining administrator is unable to recreate the full set of user accounts. (31623) |
| Server | When exporting a volume in Laserfiche 6 or Laserfiche 7 format, the exported volume can contain documents with multi-value fields. However, if you attach the exported volume to a Laserfiche 6 or 7 repository, the data in the multi-value fields will be lost. (29346) |

| Snapshot | Switching repositories from the Snapshot Configuration dialog or the Document Properties dialog will no longer attempt to match templates. The template will always reset to 'No template assigned' and all independent fields that had been configured for the original repository will be removed. (37576) |
| Snapshot | You cannot configure Snapshot to use the default template, as specified in the Laserfiche Client, when creating new documents. (37510) |
| Snapshot | When uninstalling Snapshot from Windows Vista, the uninstallation process will ask to shut down the print spooler. However, it will not automatically restart the service after the uninstallation process. You will need to manually restart the service. (37364) |
