Reply to : Labeling graphics

[Renee M. Zelickson KF4CHY http://home.hiwaay.net/~reneez/]

Yes, I sure do agree with this, especially because most of us are not that
computer literate to be able to figure out how to do this when we get on
line and start using these products.  I feel that the market is definitely
there for everything to be automatic as it comes out of the box, and then
the person can shut off what he/she doesn't want.
It would certainly cut down the frustration.

Bill's point is well teken:

I have only been a JFW user for 6 months or so and use other products
besides, but there does seem to be a need for JFW to be more flexible in
its screen resolution options.  Perhaps it is not so much a question  of
rewriting the frames etc to fit the resolution, but building something in
to JFW to interpret all possible resolutions on a PC and automatically
label those graphics accordingly.  I'm not sure if this is possible given
the present methods, but we do require more flexibility in this regard.
