I've modified the layoutopt.bat to correct the last line in the file when running it in Windows. Layoutopt now appears to run but yields no output for any of my layout files. I even pointed it at the entire layout directory of my project but all I get is a brief pause and I'm back at the DOS prompt.
Am I doing something wrong, is it not working properly, or are my layout files all flawlessly designed? :) On Dec 3, 6:17 pm, Matt Kanninen <[email protected]> wrote: > As I wait for it download I'll enjoy the documentation.
