/hview rightswipe dismisses welcome script/ I tried but didn't succeed with this one, and it caused me to revisit my complaint of not being able to switch hviews. I played with this some more and found that I can get hviews to switch - but the gesture is one finger, required MUCH longer and faster swipe than I expected. Even now I can't do it reliably but have to take several slashes at it. OK, now I'm freaked out! After writing the above, I tried it some more to see if I was hallucinating and it was still not responding until I started my swipes off the active screen area (either left or right) and then the trick then worked reliably. Then, I thought it was working so well that I tried gentle, very short, swipes in the middle of hview and it behaved as advertised. Seems the iPad learned what I wanted to do (as I say, it freaks me out...) Anyway, it is VERY nice to be able to switch those views, especially when combined with the view of the vocabulary page (where up and down swipes work nicely to display the page). One thing I notice is that the links on the vocabulary page are live, and will likely give access to the detail pages if they are in ~user. They also display the whole path to where they should be in the j folder - and this may be a security issue. I don't see any problem with that, but Apple may not agree -- on the other hand, it may be intentional to do things like make the help pages conveniently available. Another surprise to me was that when I got the swipes working in hview, the vocabulary page was still there even though I had restarted J. That is convenient, but causes me to wonder about accumulation of junk... Wondering about that caused me to force quit j to verify the behavior and what I found was that each restart had one less hview page in the cache. After restarting several times, they had all disappeared and I was left with the Welcome page. I had noticed before that upon starting the Welcome page displayed, then went blank, and then reappeared. Seems it may be related behavior. I tried this again and confirmed that they disappear one at a time. Also the "training swipes" seemed to be required to move between hviews. In my last try, it took several gestures to get to the one remaining plot from a prior session. After the swipe works once, it seems docile and predictable. Very strange behavior to me.... But the results are nice. /fixed various painting problems / /removed uparrow button (more space for iPhone sentence) / /bullet with empty sentence show/hide view / Very clever solution to bulging buttons! Congrats. However, uparrow still is in Hbutton. /launch images not updated - slower devices will show old image, then new / /launch images are a nuisance to update, and won't be updated again till final version / /jy new verb for doing writehview/ OK, much easier to type and I agree it will be a commonly used command. Thanks for all of this work which keeps looking better and better (although I'm still grinding my teeth about ~user....) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
