I suppose it was my responsibility to document these, eventually I'll get around to doing it but in the mean time I can explain them.. 'Image Caching' helps to speed up the drawing of images within a document. When you scroll up and down it has to recall this information from the database. Instead, I wrote an image caching routine which was included within 1.2 that caches the images to make concurrent loads faster (When you close the viewer, it wipes the cache) .. Within 1.2 this was on by default but some OS 3.1 handsprings had problems with it, so I added this option. However, it'll probably be depricated soon as I think I know why the handsprings were failing... in which case this option would just be taking up space :) 'Dynamic Scrollbar' you should have on if you have a faster OS5 device, or a lores device as it dynamically updates the screen as you move the scrollbar. If you have a hires non-OS5 device then its best to turn this option off as redrawing the screen would take too long to care about.. However, once I can get some time to bring the text-caching feature up to par (started on it over a year and a half ago) that would speed up text drawing -- as fast as isilo or avantgo -- and make this checkbox obsolete as well :) -- Adam McDaniel Array.org Calgary, AB, Canada _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
