There is not much exchange of information on the Metacard list at present, quite contrary to what is happening on the two other runrev lists. The last digest was sent on Aug 9.
Most of the more general language and problem-solving discussion that used to be here has migrated to the Rev list in the last year, since the acquisition of the engine.
Most of the traffic here seems to be specific to the MC IDE, and since it's mostly bug-free there's little to talk about. :)
My post "Resumed: MC IDE v2.6b7 package" of 10 days ago (Sun Aug 8) did not elicit any responses so far. There is of course no kind of urgency involved, we have enough time at hand to solve certain issues and answer questions. I just wanted to re-attract your attention to the proposals/questions contained in post "Resumed.....".-
Just me being preoccupied. Your comments were well-taken, and most of those will be acted on in the next build. Any exceptions will be noted here when I get a moment to catch up on things (been spending half of my life in airplanes and trains this last month).
An additional question:
In the Rev IDE the "open file dialog" (on Windows) has a separate option to display all Metacard files, however such an option is missing in the MC_IDE for Revolution files.
As - for various reasons - I usually have a mixture of Rev and MC files in my directories I have for quite some time added such an Revolution option in stack "mctools". Moreover, the "All Files" option, which you at present need to choose Rev stacks, displays any kind of files, which makes it sometimes very hard to find the Rev stacks among the multitude of text, image, zip-files etc.
To add a rev file option to the MC_IDE only one line of button "File" of group "Metacard Menu Bar" has to be changed, namely in "case 'open'" the line following
"case 'Win32'" to
"put "MetaCard Stacks" & cr & "*.mc" & cr & "Revolution Stacks" & cr & "*.rev" & cr & "All Files" & cr & "*.*" into filterstring"
Do you think this would be a valuable enough change or should such a change better be left to individual initiative? Of course only Windows user would be affected, and my impression is that most members of the Metacard list are Mac users.
Yes, I think it should support opening Rev files easily.
I'll add that to the next build.
