There was so much documentation that it was contributing significantly to the byte-size of Navigator. Also, formatting it well, and referencing other material (I've made some videos, although they aren't included yet). So I pulled out all the documentation and put it here: https://gcanyon.wordpress.com/navigator-documentation/. A link to the docs is still included directly in Navigator's about display. This of course applies to the most recent updates of Navigator. I've just added a preference setting for the display font size, and to toggle the lines in the display. That version will be available after I've tested it. I also noticed that Navigator already had a preference to display a tooltip with the long id of the control in the list the pointer is over, but I find that terribly distracting. I'm amazed it still works, since I haven't used it in a decade. gc _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
