Download was easy. I am already enjoying the configuration. Being able to scroll down on some of the summaries if needed is right-on!

Question 1: Is the pop up breakdown for both Flat and Touch A/C supposed to be the same as the breakdown for the regular A/C that pops up on the white shield in the Basics Summary Window?
 
Initial Observations

As a Win8 user, I have run into a common (yet not always occurring) problem with "install files", when saving them via the "save as" feature. The file needs to have the name include ".exe" or Win8 gets confused & asks for which program to use when you want to use/run the file. I hope that this will help others who may not yet be aware of this inconvenience with Win8.


As a Hero Lab user, I have wanted to be able to adjust the width of summary windows/tabs/sections in order to see any info that may be "cut off" by having several summaries in use at a time. The addition of the new Stat-block summary now expands on this desire, by making me look for a way to "scroll" from side to side & reveal the other summaries that get pushed off the right side.
 
When I am trying to create a new race in the editor some of the things I select for bootstrapping are reported as cannot be found even though they do exist with the id shown in the bootstrap tab.

An example of this is when I try to bootstrap the Combat Expertise feat or the Extraplanar subtype.
 
Initial Observations

Download was easy. I upgraded configuration is great. The pop up breakdown for Tch and Flt show the same breakdown the Normal A/C does in the Basics Summary. Is that what you wanted?

If my Speed increases from the use of a Spell Adjustment, it does not give a pop up breakdown when it changes in the Basics Summary. It was prob not in the design but it would be nice to have in the next upgrade.

So far I love it!
 
Here is a pic. of the kind of error I am talking about. Also, the Edit button is getting in the way.

I posted about an issue I was having with Hero Lab on my iPad Air, is the beta going to extend to the iPad as well, or is it just going to be for PC? I suspect I know the answer already that its just going to be the PC.

Hi Colen

As the android app I released may be affected by this would it be possible to join the beta program?

Download and install was fine, I like the new statblock window, but is there a chance it can be widened if the other summaries are hidden? Or to show just that and not the other summaries?
 
har har, but seriously is this an invite only beta? seems odd to request feedback in a public forum if thats the case.
 
Hero Lab Beta Observation

I've noticed that the text at the top of the PDF character save has weird font that appears for each weapon breakdown in the crit area just after the threat and before the mul tiplier. Also there is a similar situation on the HEADING
of the Spells in Spellbook PDF.
 
I have seen an issue with Journal entries with the PC beta. - When I try to set the real dates I am seeing them change to 0201/01/00 (Y/M/D).

Also I would like to see the capability to do some of the following:
1) Copy and paste into the text field where you enter the title of the journal entry
2) Some PFS adventure you run can offer up to 3 XP run, so instead of having to enter 3 separate journal entries it would be nice if there was an option to do 1 entry and have it aware 3xp. There should also be a option to give 1.5xp for half completions in appropriate situations.
