KNOWN ISSUES
###############################################################
This section provides information on open issues with this release of
Dell Repository Manager.
* Deployment script log files generated by Dell Repository Manager will be named after the bundle / script that the
deployment pack was generated from. Subsequent runs of the script may overwrite previous log files.
* When product is installed on the same system multiple times using the single user install option, uninstallation for a
single user uninstalls program files and binaries, but leaves shortcuts for other users.
* Dates after the current date are not disabled in the dates filter, however, selecting a date after the current date does
not return any results.
* If you save a repository after copying and pasting a bundle into it, and then copy and paste the bundle again, you will
see duplicate components for that bundle in the components tab while viewing all components. If repository is saved,
closed, and reopened, duplicate components should no longer appear.
* On launching RM application on windows 2003 Korean operating system at screen resolutions 1024*768 and
800*600, DRM application UI is truncated. On launching the application at the screen resolution 1280*1024, all the
features of the applications are displayed properly. After launching application at this resolution and changing the
resolution back to 1024*768/800*600, display of application is normal
* On loading a saved filter that has platforms selected, platforms will not be highlighted in the "Supported Platforms"
selection list.
