Re: RESOURCE LIST & XLIFF Resource Files

Miyako’s reply confirms that RESOURCE LIST does not work with XLIFF files, as I suspected. So having extracted my STR# resources into XLIFF files (with the help of Miyako's component, thanks again), what I would like to do is replicate its functionality, i.e. extract arrays of the ‘ids’ and

We have been using Sequence Number for years without any problem. It depends how/when you use it My suggestion is to make use of newer features such as Auto-increment on either UUID or Longint. If you don't want to use auto-increment for whatever reasons, you could call it at Trigger for new

Hi Nigel, A cunning plan, but wouldn't work because a) only one database can be active at a time, so only one table would be accessible. b) We allow the customer to define their own relations between their tables, and that wouldn't be possible. But I like your outside-the-box thinking :) Pat On

„Cadran“ is french for „frame“. You ran into a bug in 4D itself, as you might know much of 4Ds interfaces are programmed in 4D itself! Most of the time these go away after a restart, otherwise delete all preferences and re-install the application. > Am 08.03.2017 um 11:28 schrieb Douglas
