Can anyone enlighten us as to the rationale behind RunRev's decision to "mask off" from the development the option to deal with certain properties via the property inspector? I think the armborder *was* an available property in the Metacard property inspector.
We mentioned this before in relation to "Button" and "Menu" where, sometimes one want a button to look and feel like a button, and yet behave like a pull down menu. This was easily achieved in MC as the property inspector showed all such properties that could be set... But now, with Rev it's a bit of a headache. If you chose a "menu" from the tools you get a property inspector that is "crippled" with respect to what you can do the object, which is a "button" in the docs, with a property list that is only partially accessible except from the msg box.
Anyway this case is closed... but I wonder if we shouldn't feature request that the properties inspector reveal all properties to the user...
Yes, I'm sure we should - I have been hung up by this a number of times in different contexts, and I'm sure many of us have. It doesn't just apply to buttons (e.g. the menuBar property of a stack is not inspected). I'd vote for it (if I had any votes left!).
Sorry for changing the subject line: it was getting somewhat irrelevant IMHO.

After 58 downloads and not one bit of feedback, I haven't fixed those functionalities which I dont use! And have not been motivated to post further improvements! Supply and demand! Without feedback, I have little incentive to improve it faster and I just keep laughing to myself whenever I see these posts!
I'd really like to know what the profile of a 'typical' MC user was/is. I strongly suspect that it would be different from that of a 'typical' RR user. We seem to be pretty good at feedback, judging by this list...
