Shubb Software technical support
Windows Vista Alert
April 18, 2007
Our software solutions are based on the FileMaker database engine, and there are some known issues with FileMaker running on Windows Vista.We cannot support any installation of our products on Vista at this time.
Current versions of SongMaster and JokeFile are built on FileMaker 8.5, and there will be an effort to apply a now-available FileMaker patch that will make both of these solutions Vista compatible. This could happen soon. GigMaster, on the other hand, is built on FileMaker 6, and no patch from FileMaker is available, nor will one ever be available. So for GigMaster to be brought into specs, it must be rebuilt from the ground up. Obviously, this will take more time.
So what will be the fate of GigMaster? I'm not sure yet. A new version, built on FileMaker 8.5, is in development. Since it requires a total rebuild, I am examining many of its features to decide whether to keep or to lose them. The more I keep, the longer in development it will be. Chances are, the next iteration of the product will be something like GigMaster Lite, cutting a little of the fat. If you are a GigMaster user, and want to inform me of which features you consider important, and which might be expendible, I would welcome your input.
