Thanks for the report Tim. I'm very impressed that anyone is doing development 
on 4D Server over the internet.



When deployed does your app use 4D Client or does it have a web front end? I 
ask because in our experience 4D performance over a WAN was intolerable. 
Minutes to open a record. But that involved long queries and loading records 
from multiple tables and executing lots of code/forms/etc. We also were dealing 
with tables with millions of records and 200 - 300 concurrent users. Our app 
may not be typical though.



V17 sounds promising for a number of reasons.

Creating Windows Taskbar Icons with 4D Version Numbers

2018-08-15 Thread Tim Nevels via 4D_Tech

Today I wanted to add 4D v17.0 and v17.0 HF1 to my Windows 10 taskbar.
Sometimes I will have several versions of a 4D version in use and I like to
have the 4D version number appear when I hover the mouse over the taskbar icon.
That way I know which version I’m launching.

So how do you do that? I’ll show you so you don’t have to spend the time
googling how to do it like I did once.

Normally when you right click on the icon in the Windows taskbar of a running
application and select “Pin to taskbar”, Windows will assign the program’s name
to the taskbar icon. But when you have several version of 4D in the taskbar the
names assigned are “4D”, “4D (2)”, “4D (3)” etc. Not very useful for knowing
which one points to which version.

Here is what my Windows 10 taskbar looks like and what I see when I hover the
mouse over the 4D icons:

Here is how you can set the name that will appear when you hover over the icon
in the taskbar.

The programs pinned to the taskbar are stored here:

%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

So copy this and paste into the address bar of a window and hit enter and this
folder will open.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/agswr25q7380bac/Screen%20Shot%202018-08-15%20at%209.26.21%20PM.PNG?dl=0

Shortcuts for all the pinned taskbar items are in this folder. Simply change
the name of the shortcut to something meaningful and then restart Windows. You
must restart Windows so that it will reload the taskbar shortcut names.

Now when you hover the mouse over an icon you will know what version of 4D the
icon is going to launch.

Just trying to make things a little nicer in the Windows world…
