Hi, I'm a newbie here, but have used SC and HC for many years many years ago;-)
First, I should say that I hope MC and RunRev continue to get better. Looks like a nifty set of tools to add to ones' programming arsenal. After using RunRev 1.1, it seems like it's not really ready for primetime yet. I get numerous Error msgs all the time and had to reinstall it twice on my Win98 SE system last night because it "couldn't find the home stacks" or something. (If I can reproduce, I'll document and post - I know these kind of error reports are pretty much worthless for developers.) It appears the IDE gets in the way of the program performing correctly. I've built a small project which goes out on the net and downloads the latest 'new' stack and saves it to the hard disk. This works great in standalone mode, but not in the IDE. Perhaps I need more experience using it. This got me thinking...why shouldn't RunRev update itself automatically? There are some typos and apostrophe link errors which could be fixed in a few minutes and if RR was smart enough it could auto-download the new versions (with permission of course). I know there's a check for updates menu item. I hope it works this way. Be nice if a little green update light flashed when a new update is available. For me, the quickest possible improvement to RR would be a search button for the Docs stack. Even though I've perused all the documentation, I've forgotten exactly where I saw a piece of information. This should be fairly simple to implement...and would be a great help to those of us learning the new capabilities of RR. Lastly, a quick question (perhaps it doesn't belong here). When a field or property is accessed in a stack located at a http:// URL, does RR download the whole stack first into cache before accessing the object...or does RR download only the object requested? Thanks for any help on this one. -Chipp Walters _______________________________________________ improve-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/improve-revolution
