It is obvious that native apps are not going away and that gtk front end will be interesting addition to the current front end.
I do not see jhs replacing either the current front end nor the coming gtk front end any time soon. We do know the current front end and it has been tested for years. We do know what we have and we like it. The two new front ends are very fresh and they add to J but what they add in the end we do not know yet. It is exiting to have the jhs and it keeps improving even if most of us do not know what we are supposed expect to be working. Examples and helps are not out in any numbers yet so it is hard to tell what to rapport. I think that some issues may be with national characters etc but it is probably not the right time to report. Where things are running and where files are etc are not as obvious as before. Especially in the M$ side of things the install does not allow you to control where the code is going and some parts of the installation goes to the users area and some go to where you tell it. C:\Documents and Settings\björn\j701-user\ The path here above is something I definitely did not want nor ask for and it is probably causing problems. The labs are not working. I keep getting one lab even if I ask for others. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I can list the labs and open the texts but I can not run them. 2010/3/24 bill lam <[email protected]>: > mer, 24 Mar 2010, Sherlock Ric skribis: >> I was under the mistaken impression that the decision had already >> been made that the browser interface had merit.
