History of changes: New features and improvements, bug fixes

    January 27th, 2023: JChem for Office 21.15.704

    Marvin/JChem 21.15.7 used.

    New Feature

    • A new structure rendering technology has been developed in JChem for Excel, which works properly on all supported MS Office versions. The Legacy rendering technology still works fine on fully updated Office 2013/2016/2019 instances, but it was broken by consecutive MS updates on Office 2021 and Microsoft365 (O365) environments. The Default option is the new rendering technology, but the Legacy rendering can be switched back on the General tab of the Options dialog in the Structure Drawing > Rendering Technology section.

    Bug Fix

    • The Export to a chemical file (e.g. SDFile) failed in JChem for Excel if the header row contained a bracket character.

    • In some special ring systems the SAR table generator could not aggregate a few RGroup fragments which were exact matches to each other.
    • A previous bugfix for license installation has been extended to folders not only locally on the computer but at the OneDrive as well. (The bugfix was: "There was an error in license installation: if the number of lic.log files exceeded 99, it was not possible to install the license file.")
    • When selecting ChemDraw 19 and 20 as structure editor, the ChemDraw dialog was not open properly. This happened when opening it with double-clicking in Import from DB Query dialog and double-clicking on the structure in imported tables.
    • Installation of JChem for Office Lite has been fixed, since the installation stopped during checking the version of the operation system.
    • An error message appeared upon pressing Ctrl-V multiple times when copying structures with multiple data from JChem for Excel to JChem for Powerpoint.
    • When there was no JChem for Office license key installed, an unusual message ("ChemAxon .NET API is not licensed.") appeared in Outlook. The issue didn't occur with license file and was not reproducible in Excel, Word and Powerpoint.

    Marvin/JChem 15.3.30 used.

    New features

    • The SAR table generation can be run on Markush structures containing more than 2 R-groups; the R-group pair used in the SAR table is selected from dropdown lists during the process.

    Improvements

    • Structure filtering speed has been improved significantly: about 5 times faster in case of the first filtering action in an open Excel workbook, and about 10 times faster at any further filtering on the same open workbook (regardless of the query structure).

    Bug Fixes

    • The query structure was not retained when initiating a filter action after opening a JChem for Excel file that was saved with a filtered sheet.

    March 25th, 2015: JChem for Office 15.3.2300

    Marvin/JChem 15.3.23 used.

    Bug Fixes

    • Save to Share output files created from 97-2003 excel files (.xls) could not be opened.

    • Pasting JC structure functions over cells that already contained other JC structure functions threw an error message.

    • After converting a structure to OLE in excel, when editing it, the structure was not displayed in the OLE editor.

    • The My Data Has Headers option did not work properly in some cases during Filter and R-Group decomposition.

    • Structure header text disappeared after a clear filter if the My data has headers option was set to false during the filtering process.

    • The number of hits was not correct on the cloned worksheet after filtering.

    Marvin/JChem 15.3.9 used.

    Improvements

    • The size of edited Marvin OLE objects has been reduced to less than half.

    Bug Fixes

    • Structure filtering did not work on excel files containing JC STRUCTURE functions including a different argument separator than that of the current regional setting. For example, structure filtering failed on a computer having English regional settings if the JCIDSYSSTRUCTURE functions used in the file were created on a Hungarian computer (and therefore included semicolon separators instead of commas).

    • The Ctrl+Shift+N shortcut did not work in MarvinSketch.NET.

    March 5th, 2015: JChem for Office 15.3.200

    Marvin/JChem 15.3.2 used.

    Improvements

    • The Clear Structure Filter action has been significantly sped up.

    • The pictures created from structures in Excel (for example, by To Image or Save To Share ) are linked to the excel cells using the Move and Size with cells option from now on (this option was Move but don't size with cells before), which caused issues in case of excel data filtering.

    Bug Fixes

    • Hit count information was not removed when pressing Clear Filter or when starting a new filtering process.

    • The characters at the end of longer descriptions on the JChem for Office Options dialog were sometimes compressed.

    February 10th, 2015: JChem for Office 15.2.900

    Marvin/JChem 15.2.9 used.

    New feature

    • Marvin OLE objects in Word/PowerPoint/Outlook documents can be set to be replaced with a normal JChem for Office object upon editing (by double-click or using the Edit button).

    Improvements

    • The Fixed Scale parameter in the JChem for PowerPoint and Word Structure Display options ( Preferences > Display ) now overwrites the picture size settings, so if it is set to different from 0, a single structure will be created according to that (even in case of editing), ensuring that the bond length will be the same in all parts of the document. In addition, the aspect ratio of the image is the same as the structure.

    • The default setting in JChem for PowerPoint/Word/Outlook is now changed to have no border when adding a new structure.

    Bug Fixes

    • Importing from databases by ID did not import the structures if in a previous import process from the same table a non-structure field was set to be used as a structure.

    • If an excel sheet had only one column, containing structures defined by the JCIDSYSStructure formula (including ID info as well), the Structures only checkbox was selected automatically, and it was not possible to unselect, so there was no way to set the ID info to be exported.

    January 29th, 2015: JChem for Office 15.1.2600

    Marvin/JChem 15.1.26 used.

    Improvements

    • The Stereochemistry option on the Filter and Import from Database dialogs is changed automatically to Exact if the Search Type is set to Duplicate, and to Stereospecificin any other Search Type (but can be changed manually to any other option).

    Bug Fixes

    • If an Excel sheet had no header row, the structure in the first row was not exported.

    January 21st, 2015: JChem for Office 15.1.1900

    Marvin/JChem 15.1.19 used.

    Deprecated option

    • The Paste Chemaxon Format context menu option (that was available in Word and PowerPoint even if only JChem for Excel was installed) has been removed. Please use the JChem for Office paste instead.

    Improvements

    • The Stereochemistry option in the Basic Search Options on the Filtering dialog is changed from True/False values to Stereospecific/Exact/Ignore/Diastereomer/Enantiomer values to better reflect the options available in JChemBase. At the same time, the Exact Stereo Matching option has been removed from the Chemistry Search Options , because it is not needed anymore; the Stereochemistry=Exact option has to be used instead (for example, in case of duplicate search).

    Bug Fixes

    • Characters that were available on a specific language keyboard only by combination with the AltGr key (for example, backslash on the German or Hungarian keyboard) could not be typed in dialogs opened from MarvinSketch.NET (the default editor in JChem for Office).

    January 13th, 2015: JChem for Office 15.1.1200

    January 7th, 2015: JChem for Office 15.1.500

    Marvin/JChem 15.1.5 used.

    Improvements

    • The Align hits as query option is checked in by default during R-group decomposition.

    Bug Fixes

    • In the 64-bit version of JChem for Excel, if the Region of Windows was set to Hungarian, excel cells containing imported/generated structures picked up a custom 'gene/r/al' format instead of using the standard 'General' format. This caused issues when inserting a new cell to the right or to the bottom of the given structure cell because Excel automatically gives the same formatting to the new cell, which mixed up the display of, for example, numbers in these new cells.

    • After editing a JChem for Excel structure that was imported from a lower-level file format ( SMILES) and adding higher-level features (for example, adding a query property to an atom), the structure did not change, because JChem for Excel tried to keep the original format. Now in these cases, the format is automatically upgraded to the corresponding higher-level format (in case of MarvinSketch to MRV).

    December 17th, 2014: JChem for Office 14.12.1500

    Marvin/JChem 14.12.15 used.

    Improvements

    • In case of molecule structures that contain a part including aromatic bonds that cannot be converted to Kekule form (for example, a query structure with aromatic bonds), the non-converted part is displayed in its original form (with aromatic bonds) even if the Aromatic Bonds as Discrete Double Bonds display option is set to True. The structure rendering displayed an exception in these cases in the past.

    • The installer places an executable ( EnableJCXLAddins ) in the Program Files folder that runs a PowerShell script after a remote install to enable the JChem for Excel functions.

    Marvin/JChem 14.12.8 used.

    Improvements

    • The cell width and height in Excel are increased to the default size set in Options > Formatting > Default Cell Size , unless it was already at least 50% of it. It is applied during the following actions:

      • Add a new structure into the cell.

      • Insert a new structure from a file.

      • Paste a single structure.

    • The default value of the JChem for Excel Default Cell Size (that can be set in Options > Formatting ) has been changed from 100,100 to 210,150 (in Excel metrics: column width = 28.5, row height = 112.5). Note: Upgrading from previous versions of JChem for Excel requires to use the Restore Defaults button on the Options dialog to apply this change.

    December 4th, 2014: JChem for Office 14.12.100

    Marvin/JChem 14.12.1 used.

    New features

    • A new option has been introduced in the Structure Display settings: Bond Length globally sets the length of the bonds defined in points (similar to MarvinSketch).
