MC3-4JMRI
Manifest Creator - JMRI 'Look A Like' Last updated 11/09/23
NOTE: MC3-4JMRI includes the ability to show car images on your manifests.
NOTE: This version of Manifest Creator has a companion Location List Creator (LLC) for JMRI "switch lists". It is available to download below and is named LLC3-4JMRI. NOT YET UPDATED TO 7.04 ... coming soon.
Manifest Creator 3 (MC3-4JMRI) - Is a look a like to the JMRI default manifest. It was requested by a user who was having difficulty making the JMRI default behave in a manner that he wanted. Since that time, it has grown in capabilities to become the "flagship' App for flexibility and user control in the flotilla of Manifest Creators.
This Creator is a recent addition. It has significant user flexibility in format, information inclusion or exclusion. The documentation lags behind so if you are interested in further information about this new format, please use the Contact Author page and send a message in that regard. There is a beginning of the documentation for download below. It mostly discusses the Preferences available in MC3.

Program Files
WARNING: It appears that some browser or operating systems are converting the .xlsm extension to xlsx. The MC contains macro code and at times folks use this to infiltrate your system. If you have issues and see that the extension has been changed to .xlsx, you will need to 'rename" the file and change the extension from .xlsx to .xlsm. If this does occur, I would like to know what browser and operating system you used when downloading the file. NOTE: .xls versions are not affected.
WARNING: With the increase in security you need to change the properties of files that you download. To do this Right-Click on the file, select Properties from the POP-UP menu - it is at the bottom of the list - then select the Unblock check box. See image below.

Rename to MC3-4JMRI with some additional enhancements.
Version 4.3e as of 06/07/18
The code for SLICII and SLCIII have been combined. SLIC allowed for the inclusion of Car Images on the Location List. There is now a Preference to indicate if images should be included or not. This eliminates one more set of code that I need to keep up to date. Yea!! At this point SLICII still exists but is the same as SLCIII. Soon SLICII will be retirted.
NOTE: 09/24/18
SLICII4JMRI does not exist on it's own any longer, It was identical to SLCIII4JMRI with the exception of Images. At this point, Car/Loco images may be included or not based upon a Preference setting.
