I 100% second this!

And I prefere PDF-Manuals! 類

I got one more: I miss the big excitement about classes after I posted some 
corrections to that "TimeStamp-class-hype”…

4D Take a step back and breath slowly at least for a million times…

Count me in.
I much prefer the one-stop-shop of mailinglists over logging in to a dozen 
forums.

Re: V18 Closing Method windows and Form windows when switching modes...

Thanks all…

Jeremy, that does the trick. Somehow when installing v18 on my MacBook it got 
checked ‘on’. Thanks!

On the new 4D Forum:

I have checked it out. Personally, I like the way the this forum works. I guess 
I’m turning into a Luddite. But I like the 'background' aspect of the way it 
works, it just transparently goes to its own folder in my email and I can call 
it up any time to search in it or ask a question, I don’t need to do anything 
or log in anywhere, it's all just there waiting if I need it.

I go way back to version 1 of 4D, (so I guess I do qualify as a Luddite!) but 
today I mostly write code to relax and to keep our own system (that dates back 
as far) running with system updates and functional changes and tweaks. I 
haven’t been very active on the forum for years, but I love seeing all the old 
familiar names posting here. This is such a great group of people who are 
always ready and willing to answer questions and help out.

Lloyd

Re: V18 Closing Method windows and Form windows when switching modes...

Hi Loyd,

Driving you nuts? You can regain your sanity.

Use the 4D Application preference (not Database Preference) to ***close all 
Design windows*** when switching to the Application Environment.

The window closing preference in under:
1) the Application menu (ie, "4D” menu) for macOS.
2) the Edit menu for windowsOS.

Select the "General" tab.

Check-mark "Exit Design when going to Application Environment."

When check-marked, all Design windows will automatically close.

When you return to the Design Environment, only the "Explorer" window will open.

Also, have you looked at the new 4D Forum?

It’s much easier to read and post.

See: https://discuss.4d.com

TIA,

Jeremy

Hi Lloyd,

How do you make the switch? Is the alt-key involved somewhere in the process? 
Then that may be the culprit.
