Patch Program and Errata of "Birds of Tropical Asia 3"
Patch Program (current version: 3.15)
Click here
to run a program which "patches" the installed program of "Birds of Tropical Asia 3" so that:
- the erroneous sound recordings are either no longer visible, or are moved to the correct species, and
- the program bugs (see below) are fixed, and
- the program can now make mp3 files from all recordings (except one:
rec. #3 of Long-tailed Bush-Warbler Bradypterus caudatus). Do this with
File/Make All MP3 Files, with the popup menu on the soundbars, or with "Extra/prepare for mp3 player" in the
Playlists window. The mp3 files have all the recording information embedded (species, sound type, locality, etc)!
Errata in version 3.0
- The recordings of the Temminck's Tragopan Tragopan temminckii are not of this species,
but most likely the song and calls of the Red-winged Laughingthrush Garrulax formosus.
Discovered by Paul Holt. June 2006. Corrected on version 3.5.
- The recording of the Verreaux's Monal-Partridge Tetraophasis obscurus is not the call
of this species, but the call of the White Eared-Pheasant Crossoptilon crossoptilon.
Discovered by Paul Holt. June 2006. Corrected on version 3.5.
- The first recording ("Contact calls") of the Chestnut-headed Tesia Tesia castaneocoronata
is not the call of this species, but the call of the Grey-bellied Tesia Tesia cyaniventer.
Discovered by Paul Holt. June 2006. Corrected on version 3.5.
- The recording of the Rufous-vented Laughingthrush Garrulax gularis is not the chorus of
that species, but probably the chorus of White-crested Laughingthrush Garrulax leucolophus.
Discovered by Paul Holt. June 2006. Corrected on version 3.5.
- The recording of the Sambar Cervus unicolor is not the call of this species, but the call of a
Barking Deer Muntiacus muntjak.
Pointed out on 20 September 2005 by Erik Meijaard,
and corrected on version 3.3.
Program Bugs in earlier version(s) 3.x
- Error with "Extra/Prepare for Audio CD..." in the Playlist window.
The program could not convert a number of soundfiles.
- Error showing two photos.
The program was unable to show the photos of Siberian Thrush Zoothera sibirica
and Middendorf's Warbler Locustella ochotensis.
- A problem with very long playlists was found and fixed.
- A message about an "outdated scrambling method" of photos no longer pops up.
- In version 3.8, MP3 files were written to folder "...\Birds of Tropical Asia 1" instead of
"...\Birds of Tropical Asia 3".
- On Windows Vista, version 3.9 (sometimes?) couldn't play/show sounds and photos when they were copied
to the default folder with Options/Copy to Hard Disk.
