Bugs Fixed
- When customizing a toolbar, trying to put a “New Separator” on the toolbar is generating an error.
- Getting “Backup Error. #1” when attempting to backup a non-auto-load Journal Volume.
- Mouse wheel isn’t scrolling online help.
- Adding new topics in “Edit Topics” isn’t working.
- The toolbar list of topics isn’t being updated after adding topics with “Tag Entry…” or “Apply Topic to Text…”

- After giving a category a password, can’t get back in to that category.
- Entry dates are being saved in universal time instead of local time.

Upgrading from The Journal 7 (or any previous version)
NOTE: Do NOT uninstall the previous version! (At least, not until you’re satisfied with the upgrade. Then you can uninstall the previous version.)
Download and install The Journal 8. If you have The Journal installed in the default location, you will be prompted by The Journal 8 about upgrading your TJ7 (or earlier) Journal Volumes.
You will need to close The Journal 7 while TJ8 upgrades your Journal Volumes. After that, though, you can run both The Journal 8 and The Journal 7 without any issues.
