v2.6 [Oct 23, 2013]
Refreshed Look:
- Users will immediately notice SimStat 2.6’s updated interface. We have implemented a more modern-looking design, with additional icons for ease-of-use.
Projects are now stored in a single file:
- Simstat data files are now stored in a single file (with a .ppj file extension), providing an easier way to manage projects (delete, rename, move, etc.). This will allow projects to be stored on folders synchronized through a network or in online storage (Dropbox, SkyDrive, etc.). Consequently, changes will no longer be saved automatically on disk, but will require the use of new, yet familiar SAVE and SAVE AS commands.
Support of the Report manager:
- SimStat now integrates the Report Manager features introduced in QDA Miner 3.0, allowing users to store documents, tables, graphics, and text outputs produced by QDA Miner, WordStat and now SimStat in a single location. The Report Manager is structured in an outline, allowing users to easily view, edit, reorganize and write draft versions of reports.
New, easier to use file creation and variable addition dialog box:
- Improved the dialogue boxes for project creation and for adding new variables to provide a more consistent interface between QDA Miner and Simstat.
Support of QDA Miner case descriptors:
- The SimStat case label feature has been improved to support the QDA Miner case descriptor feature.
