The greatest problem I continue to experience with recent WE changes is that the manual has been pared down to a point where to find detailed information I am finding it necessary to consult development documentation. For example, I am finding no documentation regarding the XML spec for the configuration files. I can figure it out from reading the files, but it would save a lot of time if I could access a description.
I have a similar experience regarding the directory structure. I discovered that when I create a set file it is under application data in XP. I have not been able to find this information in the manual. Finally, and I called support on this one a month or so ago, I now know that I can indeed have individual hot keys defined for specific programs simply by creating a set file for the involved application. When I asked about this, the answer I received over the phone was less than complete. Piece by piece I am figuring most of this out, but the cost in time due to sparse documentation is agonizing. I realize GW staff have their hands very full, but please remember that many of your customers do as well. Time I must put into sorting out WE mysteries is frequently pulled from hours for which I would be making money. -Len On 10/2/2011 3:22 PM, Veronica Elsea wrote: > Hi everyone! > I think I understand most of the responses I've gotten.
