Re: [Ql-Users] Qbase

[Daniel Baum via Ql-Users]

Hi all,

That's very good news about QMenu.

Anyway, two people have sent me the correct parameters for FILE_SELECT, and
I am coming to the conclusion that version 7.66 ignores the file extension
and always shows all files in a directory. The same is not true of a
version 5 that I also have.

The command that I used is something like
a$=FILE_SELECT$("Open","QBase","win1_qbsrc_","_dbs").
Everything is set up correctly in the dialogue box but there is no
filtering.

I have tried this on QPC2 and Q-Emulator, with no other extensions loaded,
to eliminated some sort of clash.

Re: [Ql-Users] QMenu v8

[RWAP Software via Ql-Users]

The main problem I know of with QMenu v8 is that QDT no longer works 
properly - you cannot create a new program icon in a QDT window

Unfortunately it isn't because it's not just a basic extension. The
functionality itself is implemented in globally visible "things" so that it
can be used from any language, the basic commands are just wrappers for
them.

So what would probably happen is that the linked copy would overwrite any
existing "things" with the same names and everything will crash once you
remove the job again because of dangling pointers.

If you find any bugs we can try to fix them.

No, it isn't, I askes Jochen if I could release QMenu for free and he
agreed. I just didn't have the manual at hand for release and promptly
forgot about it.

He's also fixed a broken link to the GNU Text Utilities if anyone's been trying

Re: [Ql-Users] Lear PCB Design v7.55

[Malcolm Lear via Ql-Users]

Hi Michael,
FreeRotate is just experimental work in progress. It may be better to 
leave the coordinates untouched and store a one byte rotation value for 
each element, thus allowing accurate return to zero degrees if required.
