The footer sums the fees of the records displayed in the grid. If you filter the grid, the summary is recalculated.
[+] Category download TPT only. In order to keep TPT free, we need to remove all calls which incur a charge from eBay.

[#] Updated manual
Beta 1.0.55
[-] LotSize does not allow clearing once something has been entered.
[-] Rename folder should be selected when new folder is created
[-] Description from another ad overwriting the wrong ad.
Think of the HTML Editor as a picture frame. When you select an ad, the current HTML is removed and the new HTML of the selected ad is placed in the frame.
Under certain circumstances, (such as moving rapidly through slow loading ads) it is possible for the Editor to be out of synch with the selected ad.
In other words, the picture in the frame belongs to another ad. At this point however, the current ad's HTML is still intact. If you Reload the saved HTML,
the Editor and the selected ad will again be in synch.
To prevent inadvertently saving the wrong HTML, we added code to prevent one ad's description from overwriting another. The adID of the HTML loaded in the Editor
will appear in the status bar at the bottom of the Editor window. If the AdID of the loaded HTML does not match the currently selected ad, the Editor Menu bar will
turn red. If you try to use the Editor, TPT will reload the correct HTML before allowing you to edit. If you try to save the ad, everything will save except the ad Description
since the two AdIds do not match.
For most users (we hope), this shouldn't be a problem. However, if you notice that what's loaded in the Editor does not match the Detail, just press the Reload button on
the Editor ToolBar to synch them up again.
[#] Picture Manager faster loading
[#] Custom colors now saved when using color picker

You should only have to authenticate under the following conditions:
1. You are a new user to TPT.

These fields are available to the global search and replace function and Template Tags. Also, the labels are
user definable, change the label to your purpose and TPT will save the new label to the INI file on close.
[+] Added "other online payment methods" to GSR
[+] Added a right-click copy function to Template tags. You can also use Ctrl+T to activate the function.
[+] Added a Trash Bin similar to the Windows Explorer Recycle Bin.
Beta 1.0.48
[-] TPT is swapping the <InsuranceFee> and <SalesTaxPercent> fields for eBay UK.

[#] After creating a folder, TPT sets cursor to rename folder.
[#] Added code to remove file:/// from galleryURL and PictureURL on exiting the field
[+] Add thumbnail picture for Picture URL
[+] Added manual method to request a token from eBay. We are currently trapping the known token errors returned by eBay. However, if eBay returns a new token error
which we are not trapping, TPT could become stuck in a situation where it can not automatically request a new token. We added a "Request Token" button to the
eBay User ID section in the Options. Simply select the userID you wish to request a token for and press the button. Normally, you shouldn't have to use this button.
Don't forget, if you change your password on eBay you need to change it in TPT as well.
[+] Added alternate TPT category download. We created an alternate method for users who do not have high speed connections. Essentially, we run the category download
from eBay then export the files to CSV files. We compress these files so that the download is about 1.5 MB. This should make the download time much faster. The import
speed will still depend on your processor speed since it has to clear the existing tables and load the new records. The downside is that we have to post a new file when the
categories change. This means there may be a lag between the time the file is ready and eBay actually releases the new categories. We will try to keep the files updated often
but if you know the categories need to be updated, just send us a friendly reminder through email or a post on the forum and we'll update the files.
We encourage users who have high speed connections to continue to get the category updates directly from eBay since this will ensure the latest category data.

columns or remove existing colums from the grid. Simply drag and drop the column header to the
customization form to remove it from the grid. There are two additional fields currently not displayed on the grid:
AdId (TPT internal unique ID for each ad) and Folder. You can add these fields by dragging the column from the customization form to the grid header.
Beta 1.0.40
[-] Extend grid column for Title to 55 characters. If you still do not see the extra
characters in the grid, force save the ad. This should force the grid to refresh.
[-] Limit double click of table to table selected only. Double clicking in the table
will no longer bring up the table dialog.
[-] If contentEditable=false in HTML, editor is uneditable
[-] Item Specifics not removed for 2nd category. If you entered a second category and added
Item Specifics for it and then cleared the 2nd category field, the Item Specifics for
the second category were not removed. This was the cause for many of the eBay errors involving
Item Specifics. If you have an ad that is has an Item Specifics error, make a change in the
detail pane and then save the ad. This should correct the Item Specifics.

properly. However, you may experience a slower load time since the grid is now loading all the records in the
selected folder instead of just the visible records.
[-] Changing the title in the detail window (top right window) and then clicking on another item in the listing window (middle window) will not update the titles correctly. (Title get duplicated and don't get re-sorted)
