Errors in this release
- Import of Nvivo REFI-QDA project file. If the file contains text annotations - the import may halt.
- There is an error in importng REFI-QDA Codebook files
- The Manage Files View Audio/Video may hang if ffmpeg is installed on Windows (and maybe macOS). As the function to create a waveform using ffmpeg may be flawed. A quick fix would be to un-install ffmpeg.
