Re: [Ql-Users] Possible bug in the (experimental) QubIDE feature of QXLWinReader
Hi Wolfgang, > the new version of QxlwinReader is on my website. Many thanks! If I had to vote for the "tool of the year", QxlwinReader would be it! :) Extraordinary useful for the development of the Q68! Without QxlwinReader, there was always an emulator or Wxqt2/qltools involved when transferring files to the Q68 over the internet. QxlwinReader proofed much easier to use for me and saved lots of time. Great work! Peter ___ QL-Users Mailing List
Re: [Ql-Users] Possible bug in the (experimental) QubIDE feature of QXLWinReader
Hi everyone, recently I also asked Wolf to make a change in SMSQmulator (Ver. 2.25 Beta that should be released soon) , not a trivial (at least for me) change and he did it this basically in real time. As Martyn, I am also in IT Business, and I was thinking how wonderful could be to have an IT partner that could develop overnight a new feature but _*especially that the new feature work !!*_ So thank you Wolf for the job you are doing to support our hobby. Ciao Fabrizio p.s. before anyone gets offended, it's best to extend the thanks to anyone who dedicates time to this hobby (and there are many...):-):-):-):-) On 30/10/2017 21:48, Martyn Hill via Ql-Users wrote: Hi everyone Despite his busy schedule, Wolfgang made a new version of QXLWinReader available to me privately and I have tested the new behaviour.

Working in the software industry myself, I know our customers would love that kind of service! I'll leave it to Wolfgang to say when he's ready to upload the new version to his site for general release. Thanks Wolfgang! M. On 30/10/2017 10:21, Martyn Hill wrote: Hi Wolfgang!

Hi, the new version of QxlwinReader is on my website. Thanks Martyn for testing that the fix seems to work. Have fun! Wolfgang ___ QL-Users Mailing List
