Re: What constitutes high-perf. hardware for 4D server these days ?

Hi Tom Many thanks for your useful observations. I’m not quite sure of the priorities given to 4D in the VM but the support guy said he needed some kind of IP packet specification details which 4D used to give it “full priority”. I think that was so that other bandwidth demands (such as large

Best "back to school" pathway for upgraders

Hi I’m collating resources for informing myself on new features and language for moving from v15 to v18. Plan to do it in one leap over a year at least. I don’t really see the point in hanging around in an intermediate version. There is so much new stuff it’s getting overwhelming because now,

4D Summit Videos

Hi Has anybody seen any of the summit stuff yet ? I watched Miyako’s and Laurent Esnault’s presentations yesterday. I thought it was pretty incredible - looks like in the league of 2004 to v11 league of technology leap. I love the way classes have been implemented - it’s exactly how I hoped

Re: ListBoxes and AreaList Pro again (was: Object notation replacement for use of Self in a script — v18)

This is always a no brainer for me. Arealist every time. It’s just far more professional looking and performing IMO. I use listboxes a lot for testing - I really use them quite intensively for that, but then I go and do the production version with Arealist since I still find list boxes clunky

Tip: Speed up/repair v15 Design Environment

Hi I might be late to the party on this one but in case in might help someone in similar situation…. Over the last year or so, I’ve been working with a really sluggish design environment in v15 (Mac). I wasn’t actually aware it was sluggish until now. Symptoms like the method editor being so

Remote working with 4D networks - what are people using ?

Hi Due to impending “lockdown” situations I have users asking me how they can work from home. I was wondering what solutions others were finding worked well. The service provider that many of the key users have at home (Talk-Talk in the UK) blanket blocks all screen sharing software so will

Hi Chip What is the “recent legislation” you’re referring to ? I don’t use a private VPN for accessing clients but do use a public one for all my internet use (NordVPN). It’s excellent, cheap and lets you switch between static and dynamic IPs according to need. (e.g. I have a client network I

Running v15 Server as a Service in Windows Server 2016

Hi Have been running a 4D Server as an application for a long time on this platform but need to change to a service so the admin people can set Windows updates to “automatic”. However when I “Register as a Service” (from the File menu in 4D Server) it doesn’t seem to appear in the services

Old 4D Transporter (ResTransporter) or Equivalent

Hi I was wondering if there’s a tool to split the 4D resource fork on a 4D 2004 database so I can transport it from Mac to Windows. I haven’t done this for years and have lost access to my old “Snowleopard” machine that I used to use for this type of thing. I need the “transporter” tool to

Re: Old 4D Transporter (ResTransporter) or Equivalent

Hi Folks Many thanks for all the tips - much appreciated. I managed to solve my problem with Spencer’s suggestion to write my own Transporter in 4D using DOCUMENT TO BLOB(file;*) to split the resource fork away and save it as a data fork. That let me transfer to Windows. My old structure and
