Hi, Steve. I looked up your account out of curiosity. Looks like you were approximately customer number 30 about 19 years ago. What were you thinking? Who buys software that only has a handful of customers? Anyway, you got lucky, and we're still forging ahead. Truthfully I was looking for a head st...

While I feel I still have 10 years or so left in me the realization that the day is coming has hit me.

turn off mysql on server 2

do a simple file copy from server 1 to server 2, I use Karens replicator to do automatic backups.

Once a week I turn on mysql on server 2 and make sure the database is up to date by running OD.

steve

murmsk

I am rebuilding my server and am considering a virtual windows machine running under linux.

Question, Can the virtual machine be backed up without shutting it down ?

steve

murmsk

I am perfectly happy paying the support fee to keep support as is. It is in all of ours best interest to keep the revenue stream sufficient for continued development . Good support has become one of the hallmarks of Open Dental and is worth a few dollars.

steve

murmsk

The big limitation with photo storage in OD is that it lacks the ability to group them. So if you don't take too many photos and don't mind all of them going in one folder then OD is ok. But if you want to have them grouped either by date or function then look at a 3rd party program.

steve

murmsk

Would it be practical for use as a Pt. Education tool with linked pages with photos to help explain TMD, Endo and the like?

murmsk

I notice in the next version we will be able to utilize wiki-like pages.

How do you envision this to be used?

steve

murmsk

I was afraid of that.

Where are the files for the procedure button kept. I have lost the files since I uploaded them into OD

steve

murmsk

Herman must have moved from Il to Ct . It is amazing how many you can put a crown on tooth #14

murmsk

We did the same thing except we use the document feeder on our network laser printer. We setup a shared printer on one of the workstations with properties set to the proper paper size and bin.

steve

It would seem to me that for those who still have written records

Inactive are those who are not expected to return but whose file is still stored in the main record store

archived are those whose records have been removed from the main record store and are now reside in the basement.

would this work?

we are pretty much paperless. I say pretty much because we have them fill out medical histories and the like on laminated forms with an erasable pen then scan them in it is fast,easy, and inexpensive.

I used it for a year and it worked fine. Image quality was as good or better than Dr. Suni. I switched because no FMS. It's easier to use than dr.suni fewer clicks and I hope that someday finishing it becomes a priority.

It seems to me that those little tablets are here to stay and have some potential for being useful in the dental office.

Because I have a linux server I can't follow the upgrade path through 5.0 as described in the manual.

I did a test datadump out of 4.1 and restored to 5.5 seems to work fine. Before I trust it am I missing something?

steve

Are there any issues I should be aware of when going from Mysql 4.?? to 5.5? Is iit a straight copy or do I need to do a datadump and restore?

I have no problem printing 1/4 sheets. If your printer will print envelopes then it will print any size media. The printer I have is an okidata that has a media tray. We then have a shared windows network printer dedicated to 1/4 sheets. All computers point here.

additional information, we use touch screens in the ops very seldom do we have to touch the mouse.

we use mysqladmin for automatic scheduled datadump/backups. This is a free download from mysql. It puts all the data in 1 file which can be restored if needed.

steve

I think it is a great idea and shouldn't be too tough to do. The calculations are fairly simple.

One thing about the datadump with mysqladmin.

If the database changes through a version change ie: new tables ...... you have to edit your backup schedule to include the new tables

If all you want is BW and PA's I suggest a suni sensor and use OD directly. Direct capture w/OD works quite well. Image quality is as good or better than what I get w/ Apteryx. You can't do Full Mouths yet.

murmsk

I might add linux is only broken if you are going to use it on a workstation. Using linux for your server works exceptionally well.

As for the workstations I have found that running OD in VM-windows/ubuntu works well.
