Hello all,
I would like to add my 2 cents to the discussion on the new service pack. There are a
couple of other bugs in there which haven't been mentioned so far and were quite
serious for me.
The first one affects users who operate with all error messages and warnings turned
on. This is probably most gx developers I suppose. Script files which contain gxs that
generate warnings will crash at the warning. That is, if a gx ends with a "such and
such ended and left 2 locks on the database" warning, which are quite common, even
among geosoft's gxs, the script will abort. The solution is simple, turn the warnings
off.
Another bug which affects probably even fewer users is with regard to splitting lines.
If you create a new line by splitting, the new line will go to the beginning of the
line list, regardless of its number.
These two bugs probably don't affect many people, but I mention them here because I
would like to see the creation of a known bug list somewhere. Sometimes just knowing
that something is a bug, and not finger trouble, can save a lot of time. I envision a
setup whereby people would submit possible bugs to this list, and after they were
confirmed by other users they would be added to the bug list, along with workarounds.
That way everyone would be up to date and there would be a reference for users to
consult. I would be willing to host it on my web site and maintain it, if someone else
is willing to set it up. Any takers?
cheers
