When I made changes to the default JFD file in 33026, they were not merged
from 330 to 331.

: Hi,
:
: The merge function merges dictionaries (.jsd), configurations (.jcf),
frames
: and (likely) some other items which I cannot remember off the top of my
: head.
:
: We do not, at this time, merge script files as that procedure would be far
: more complicated. To wit, consider the possibility that you have written
a
: script named, "MyfavoriteScript" and, then, a HJ script writer adds a
script
: to the set we ship that has the same name - which one does the merge keep?
: Microsoft's Visual Source Safe has a very good source code merge facility
: that prompts the user about which change they want to keep. This might be
a
: good idea for a future version of JFW.
:
: Other problems will occur when our new scripts are very different from
those
: a user may have modified from an earlier version of JFW. In 3.31, all of
: the Microsoft Office scripts have changed (for the better) very
: dramatically. Any user who may have made a subtle change to the Word
: scripts will cause a huge issue for software trying to differentiate and
: then merge the change into a radically different function. usually, the
: Source Safe user (mentioned above) will be making incremental and subtle
: changes to be merged and, thus, this is not an issue.
:
: I know that my own script changes (I'm not a professional scripter and all
: of you can feel glad that my code does not ship with JFW) are a pain to
copy
: over each time I reinstall JFW (which is every time we do a build - 28 so
: far for 3.31) so I am motivated to get a merge facility that is verbose
: enough to handle scripts. When I look at all of the other things we'd
like
: to do with JFW, however, I don't see such a big effort happening in the
: merge world too soon.

: Thanks,
