BrianW 1-Mar-2005 [367] | That was the missing step, thanks. |
Graham 1-Mar-2005 [368] | I've only asked the same question myself 3x so far :) |
Tomc 1-Mar-2005 [369] | it is a usability issue |
[unknown: 9] 1-Mar-2005 [370] | Actually, this one is a bug + we can improve the UI, and will fix, and will improve. |
BrianW 1-Mar-2005 [371] | keep up the good work, the more I use it the more I enjoy it :-) |
Ashley 1-Mar-2005 [372] | Works like a charm (and quick too). |
Gregg 2-Mar-2005 [373] | R: Something like an "Ignore this group" button maybe? |
[unknown: 9] 3-Mar-2005 [374] | Yup. |
yeksoon 3-Mar-2005 [375] | for 3 consecutive days, I have experience recycle bug in AltMe. Are there anything specific that causes this? |
Sunanda 3-Mar-2005 [376] | Causes may include clicking before the resync has completed. But it also seems to be related to the size of the world -- I've been getting the recycle bug in the last few days, so possibly Rebol3 is getting too large. |
Tomc 3-Mar-2005 [377] | I recently got the recycle bug on a single group of a small world (repeatdly ) untill someone else posted to that group. (note my client was running on the same machine the world was running on) |
[unknown: 9] 3-Mar-2005 [378x2] | Yeksoon, yes, something in Rebol from what we can tell. I'm not quick to blame Rebol actually, but we have talked about this one with Carl, and on our next big update (which has a large rewrite in it) this bug WILL be gone. |
We are annoyed by it also. It hits me about 2 times a week, I run 3 clients on my system most of the time. | |
Ammon 3-Mar-2005 [380x4] | The before/after button in the Serach window... What is it doing in which state? |
Toggle GUI Elements have a tendancy to confuse me unless they are a radio button or checkbox where the meaning is clear. | |
You never know how the developer was thinking when he designed it... Visible text is current state, or click to switch the state that the visible text refers to? | |
Sent feedback on the date selector. It doesn't like TODAY. Switch the value to any other day and try to select TODAY, you'll pull an error 100% of the time... | |
Louis 3-Mar-2005 [384x2] | Reichart, I really appreciate AltME. It is a great application. |
I makes getting help a lot faster. | |
[unknown: 9] 4-Mar-2005 [386x2] | Ammon, yeah, I agree. We are slowly locking down what I call a "pattern language." In other words using the same UI parts the same way everywhere. |
Louis, thank you. Slowly but constantly, we move forward. | |
Ammon 8-Mar-2005 [388] | May I ask what the Depot folder and its contents are? It looks useful! |
[unknown: 9] 9-Mar-2005 [389] | LOL, yeah, info on all the directories will be coming. We are waiting for our next update before we let people start poking things. |
Ammon 9-Mar-2005 [390x2] | Ok... Patiently waiting... ;~> |
In a world as large as this one, perhaps there should be a way to quickly view Group information such as descriptions. Maybe even the ability to search the groups to see if a group relevant to your next post exists or if you should create a new group for the post. | |
eFishAnt 9-Mar-2005 [392] | what about a smaller planet, like Mars? |
[unknown: 9] 9-Mar-2005 [393] | Yeah, we are playing with something like that. |
Ammon 9-Mar-2005 [394] | Such a feature would likely be quite usefull there as well... |
BrianW 9-Mar-2005 [395] | Does AltME have a DCC file-send type of thing? |
Pekr 9-Mar-2005 [396x2] | no |
maybe upcoming major update will have, but that is question for Reichart to answer. If I understand it correctly, it will feature ability to extend AltME with other apps ... | |
BrianW 9-Mar-2005 [398] | ok, I was just wondering |
eFishAnt 9-Mar-2005 [399x2] | s |
s | |
[unknown: 9] 9-Mar-2005 [401] | We have no current plan of support DCC. We do have a plan of supporting file share on AltME, and already do on Qtask. |
Ammon 9-Mar-2005 [402] | Please put the SDK group under the REBOL divider. |
Izkata 9-Mar-2005 [403x2] | Ugh |
I want to use Worldmaster dividers with some slight changes... SO, a way to choose Worldmaster dividers, then edit them for a custom one, would be nice | |
BrianW 9-Mar-2005 [405x2] | choose custom dividers, but start with a clone of Worldmaster? |
Just trying to think of another way to phrase it :-) | |
Ammon 9-Mar-2005 [407] | Aye, I'm fairly certain that that is what the Depot folder is about and they are going to be giving us info on it soon... |
[unknown: 9] 9-Mar-2005 [408] | SDK moved. |
Ammon 9-Mar-2005 [409] | thanks |
eFishAnt 9-Mar-2005 [410] | sorry about the s's above...was keying commands to an emulator and AltME focus grabbled them... |
[unknown: 9] 9-Mar-2005 [411] | I spent a few clock cycles on them thinking it was some puzzle. then something else shiny caught my attention. |
Izkata 10-Mar-2005 [412x2] | Yep Brian, that's it. I'm gonna try something.. I was looking around the AltMe folders, and found a file that looked like all it contained were dividers. I'll copy AltMe to a new folder (backup) and copy the Worldmaster one over my Custom on |
Well, AltMe didn't error, but it didn't change any dividers, either.. oh well | |
[unknown: 9] 10-Mar-2005 [414x3] | your welcome to mess with AltME's folders....but don't cry when something odd happens. |
We plan to clean it up, and write a paper that explains it all, for example, you can actually dump all your grpahics, and then replace them all. | |
Skinning AltME is actaully pretty easy. But not fully tested. | |
