It's amazing how much you get done when things work as expected!!! Thanks to Dan, I've squashed a couple dozen bugs since this morning... Added a few new things too. Made it lots faster!
I think I got most of the issues out this time... (warning: web page link, not file url - nothing is compatible anymore ;) <http://monsieurx.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&li d=82> Version bumped to 2.4.5 (from 2.3 last week) Lots of new TAOO or improved functions thanks to this: - smarter group collapsing - smart field splitters (to change tabstops - inspired by Chipp himself!) - grid navigation via arrows - list navigation based on sorted column+keys typed in sequence - thanks Charles for boosting that script's fix. - Thanks to Pierre Sahores for some drag and drop insights Pretty much everything works as far as I could test... There's one bug I know of... see who finds it! not a show stopper... This is beta beta, not prerelease beta... I haven't hit an error anywhere. Note the external image functions I didn't test as rigorously. That doesn't mean there isn't Mac related visual bugs. Dan sent some pictures which I couldn't read... Any feedback apreciated from anyone... Next UP, transcriptolation integration into rev ;) HTMLText output from fields really doesn't work when you look at it into a browser... After that I can paste the about field into monsieurX for the new story into phpnuke or wiki and reduce even more workflow ;) That's the point aint'it? cheers Xavier http://monsieurx.com/taoo > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MisterX > Sent: Saturday, November 12, 2005 04:33 > To: 'How to use Revolution' > Subject: ANN: XOSMediaLib under construction > > RevGang > > Here's a "webPage" where you can safely download the fixed > and standalone > version > of xosmedialib. > > <http://monsieurx.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdown > loaddetails&li > d=82> > > It should be standalone.
