Any way around this? I really like my app windows to have slightly rounded corners, but I also like some things to slide in and out like sheets. Ides anyone?

Hello Lars,

If you are doing something like showing and hiding groups with a wipe effect providing the "sheet-like" look you might be able to achieve an even cleaner look without the visual effect by actually sliding the groups on or off the edge of the card. I use this trick regularly and have been quite pleased with the results.

First of all, many thanks to Sarah, Jaqueline and Jim for the concise and very easy to understand suggestions for my recent question about using a stack with many cards vs. listfield/custom properties. As simple as their suggestions were, they had tiny bits that are not clear in the documentation, at least not for a non- coder like me. The results are terrific, anywhere from a script taking 60 vs 1600 milliseconds down to 18 vs 34! A terrific speed improvement, thanks again! One strange thing though - Originally my data was in the many card stack stored as custom properties, now all of that is a single, very large custom property, so when I deleted the many card stack and made a new standalone, I expected the file size to be about the same if not slightly smaller, but instead it has grown by a couple of megs (about 30%!). The new single custom property is just the sum of all the old custom properties, and the only other changes are in a bunch of scripts, which for the most part got shorter. Where did the extra size come from?

Next question - how, if at all possible, can I make images in a standalone selectable and copy and pastable? In the IDE, obviously, yes, but clicking on an image in my standalone does not select it. I am starting to think it is not meant to be, but that would seem odd to me.

Last question - some of you may recall my Leopard "throb" question from a week ago - where the shadow around the active window "throbs" in Leopard when a handler with a visual effect is executed. Now I know what causes it, but I don't know how to fix it, if that is even possible. It happens with visual effect wipe on a window that has a window shape, but not on a rectangular window. Any way around this? I really like my app windows to have slightly rounded corners, but I also like some things to slide in and out like sheets. Ides anyone?

Cheers,

Lars
