FINAL FILER FOR THE WEB PROGRESS REPORT
Oct 18 2017
Last year pre-empted a web application to replace the Final Filer Pro Desktop.
We are now getting close to making a demo version available, so here's an update on progress.
Final Filer Pro Desktop Maintenance Update 1.9.5.10
This maintenance release is in response to reports of unwanted invoice and related record deletions.
RegSearch Desktop Control Panel (CP)
This program is a desktop application for Windows. Its purpose is to let you set parameters & preferences for the remote web page and to synchronize the local Final Filer Data with the remote mysql database. It can synchronize the register records and allocations data.
It can also scan for images, automatically process, resize and upload them to the remote database.
RegSearch Web Application 3.23 update
A couple of fixes and code optimisation.
RegSearch version 3.22
(Sept 5 2017)
After a bad start with version 3.21, 3.22 is now available. It fixes the Global Variable error. I have also improved the instructions:
The RegSearch web application uses this program to sync your local Final Filer Data with your web server's data.

The past and future of the Final Filer
31 August 2016
I am about to make the Final Filer (Desktop) version 1.9.5 available for download. It doesn't really offer much of the new except a beefed up Customer Quotations module that is integrated into the application rather than being a plug in. There are the usual bug fixes and further attempts to improve performance, perceived and real.
It was my intent to make this the last major update of the Final Filer. After all, 30 years is perhaps enough.
However, a couple of emails from power users wanting more, a phone call from a long time user telling me they were going to write their own data management system to replace the Final Filer, and the continuing daily barrage from our many "small" users give me reason to reflect.
FF Web Register Search Update
9th Jun 2016
A minor update with enhanced search functions and grid field display changes.
Burying public-cemeteries.net
26th Feb 2016
