Hi, I was just going through the forum to find some information about handling resources in my qooxdoo application. I wanted to point out that the URL given below in the posts (http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.8/ui_overview?s=asset#resource_handling) looks old and doesn't point to the correct path anymore.
The correct URL is http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.8/ui_resources cheers Amit thron7 wrote: > >> At the top of Application.js I see #asset and it is in a comment block. >> I read the generator_config article and see that they are compiler hints. >> >> By compile do they mean generate?
