The 4D people say that we should go vote for feature requests and that they 
really do listen.

So let’s all go do that. Go to 4D Forums and vote 4 stars on every post by 
every person in “Feature Requests” that wants 4D Write Pro to be able to 
import/export to Word. There are many. I just did and it only took a couple of 
minutes to click the 4 stars for each post.

Here is what you do:

Log into forums.4d.com
Click on “Feature requests” in the “Public forums” area
In the “Search” area type in “4D Write Pro” and hit return
On the first page that is displayed you will see 8 threads on this topic
Open each thread and for every single post in that thread click the 4 stars in 
“Your rate”

You just voted for the feature request, multiple times.

Maybe if 10 or more people here on the iNUG go do this it will add up and make 
somebody notice and say “hmm… this appears to be a feature people want. We 
should add that in the next version.”

I love Paul Dennis response: "This is so obvious it shouldn't even be a 
request.”

I have to agree.

I certainly hope we can open/save .docx document with 4D Write Pro in a near 
future as this is mandatory for me also.  I have an application install on 
several sites that write contracts from clauses stored in a 4D DB and I need to 
use 4D write and compatibility with MSWord is a must.  Right now being 
compatible with .doc document only is already a problem.

I would suggest keeping the pressure on them. They've gone every which-way 
about promising 4D Write Pro features. As it has been delivered, it is 
unusable. I've the same issue with Word compatibility.

When I click on the link from the original poster, I get into a list of forums, 
not the request. What's the problem -- login?

Re: 4D Write Pro WP feature request - need your support

[JOHN BAUGHMAN via 4D_Tech]

One thing I found to be very helpful was to see how the WriteLike tool bar 
available via the blog does things. Most things we do programmatically in write 
or pro are done via the tool bars buttons and menus as well. So often when I 
was struggling to convert a 4D Write command of function to pro I found an 
example of how to do it int he WrtieLike tool bar code.

Re: 4D Write Pro WP feature request - need your support

[Chuck Miller via 4D_Tech]

I also have one client that is a huge 4d write user. We also need to have 
ability to convert to Microsoft word. Additionally, there are some things we do 
not seem to be able to do in write pro so for now, we will be maintain 4d write 
licenses across multiple servers and standalone dos. At the last Summit many 
spoke of this issue and 4D stated that they were going to implement export to 
word and not rtf.

The same thing occurred in quick reports. The 64 but version did not at  first 
release support cross table reports which we use extensively

Perhaps we can create a survey and ask 4dwrite users what is stopping them from 
going to write pro

We’ve been looking at converting a pretty complex system with form letters,

RE: 4D Write Pro WP feature request - need your support

[Michael McCall via 4D_Tech]

Hi Chip,

Thanks for the clarification.

In our case .docx and / or .rtf would be acceptable. We don't need .doc 
specifically. 

We need something which could be saved as a stand alone document and easily 
opened and edited within MS Word.

Thanks again,

Mike

Nope, it is true. For this version. I have 2 clients that are big 4D Write 
users (one with a 90 user license) and use 4D Write to create Word documents. 

I've asked about this at every 4D Summit where they demoed 4D Write Pro. At the 
first showing several years ago the answer was “we will support all the current 
4D Write Plugin features”. Then at a later 4D Summits it was said, it is not 
there now but it is coming. At the last 4D Summit the answer was “we don’t 
think any/many developers use it”. Even though I’m the one saying to them “I 
use it a lot for 2 clients!”

So maybe you can flex some OEM muscle and get this put on the “must have” 
feature list for the next version. I hope you can because I’ve had zero luck, 
and I was speaking directly to the 4D Write Pro lead engineer.

.doc is probably an issue as it is a proprietary format from MS.
.docx might not be such an issue as it is "open" and is supposed to be 
based on xml.

RE: 4D Write Pro WP feature request - need your support

[Michael McCall via 4D_Tech]

4D Write had an an export to RTF option which worked with MS Word. That was the 
main reason we used 4D Write. Until 4D Write Pro has an .rtf or .doc export 
option we will be unable to use it. This is an essential feature and we can 
only hope that it arrives quickly.

I just added my name to the list of those requesting this feature. I was 
frankly stunned when I found out it didn't exist in 4D Write Pro.

RE: Feature request thoughts

[Timothy Penner via 4D_Tech]

Command+Tab cannot be used for switching tabs because it is used by the OS for 
switching applications.

The shortcut for switching tabs is Control+Tab to go to the next tab and 
Control+Shift+Tab to go to the previous tab.

Feature request thoughts

[JOHN BAUGHMAN via 4D_Tech]

Working in 64bit on the Mac I am a bit frustrated with tabbed windows. Maybe 
it’s just me but I keep closing the window instead of the tab I am in. Also 
moving between multiple tabs is less than convenient when you do not remember 
where a tab you want  is located in the window with a lot of tabs.  I find my 
self having to go to the Windows menu a lot.

First off thought there was a way to turn tabbing off, but cannot find it.

As for using the tabbed window, I am think of posting a  couple of feature 
requests…

1. Throw an confirmation if a window is closed with multiple tabs. 
Either just confirming the close or offering the option to close the current 
tab or the whole window.

2. Provide some kind of back and forward capability. Something like 
Command-Tab does for Applications on the Mac

I don’t know if either is even possible. What do you all think. Would these be 
good feature requests?

Dynamic forms have the potential for being a real game changer in the way
you work with 4D. (I know there's a lot of that talk going around now but I
think this deserves it because it doesn't require you to use ORDA. It's

The 4D form editor is actually pretty good, I think. Instead of having
dozens of forms in the database you could have a single form you use to

up in your prototype form.

Not to mention the bazillion or so existing forms we've all got. Being able

This is not a trivial task. I've been playing with doing this myself a bit

Fastest Feature Request Implementation Ever

[Cannon Smith via 4D_Tech]

Some of you may know that I use a mechanism in my windows where each window and 
widget on the window has its own “model” object. This can be passed into a 
window and then manipulated after the window closes. This logic applies to 
subforms as well and is set up so that when a subform is typed as a C_OBJECT, 
the subform container’s variable is also the subform’s “model” object. This is 
a _really_ handy way to work with subforms while keeping data associated with 
them part of the main window’s model.

Since 4D has implemented the “Form” object, I wanted to switch to using that 
instead of my hacky mechanism. The only problem is that I really wanted it to 
continue working with subforms in the same way as I’ve been doing it in the 
past. So I started to write up a feature request where, if a subform is typed 
as a C_OBJECT, then the subform container variable could be the same reference 
as the Form object from within the context of the subform.

As I was doing that I needed to double-check something about Form in the 
documentation and guess what? I found that 4D had already implemented Form in a 
subform context exactly as I was going to request! Fastest implementation of a 
feature request ever!

Thanks 4D. :-)

Feature request : new command : MOVE FOLDER

[Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech]

link to forum request:
http://forums.4d.com/Post//21269476/1/

text of request:
>Product :4D - 4D Server

The command MOVE DOCUMENT chokes (v13, also reported in v11 and v12), 
on trying to move/rename a folder.

According to comments in the original feature request (for v11) MOVE 
DOCUMENT would rename/move a folder, in versions of 4D v2004 and 
before..

We need to have either : 
- MOVE FOLDER, a new command (which would function as Move Document, 
but with Folders)
or
- MOVE DOCUMENT, needs to be fixed to work with folders, as it did in 
v2004 and before.

Re: 4D Forums feature request - keep it the same

one more thing I just noticed.

I the forum has a persistent login.
By this I mean, yesterday, I loved into the forums.
Closed the browser window (not the browser)
today I opened a new browser window (in reference to my previous 
comment)
I was still logged in.

THAT is also an issue with the forum.
again, especially if there are $$$ tied to the login.

I would NOT have noticed, as the login credentials I use on the forum 
have nothing to do with the 4D store/partner credentials I use, and as 
far as I know there is no linkage between the two.

I am looking at the forum site now. There is no (apparent) information 
regarding betas, nightly builds etc.
so... it appears I am right, that there is no tie (currently) between 
my forum account and my partner/4d store accounts.
AS IT SHOULD BE

especially since the I don't really care about the login at the forum.
if someone were to 'hack' it and take it over... oh well.
I would create a new account, and ask 4D to kill the old one.


This is obviously NOT the same situation if the forum login credentials 
are tied to $$$

text of my post on the forum:
personally - I do NOT like the idea.

why do i need to use a login credential which will likely have 
financial information behind it (partner/store) to access a purportedly 
open public forum?

The forum's login is currently, and should stay, separate from the 
logins to other 4D resources.

To use as example a larger (more public) system. Online Games.
100s of million people use/play online games. Most of these 
games/companies have forums for discussion of bugs, feature requests 
etc. none of these game forums (that I have personally visited/used) 
use any part of  the game's login credentials - as login credentials 
for their forums. 

Why? to me it is simple - separation of financially backed logins from 
public forums.

IMHO - 4D should do the same, and continue to keep the forums (and 
other public resources) login credentials separate from more private 4D 
resources logins (partner login, 4D store etc).

Feature request : Set Belongs to (Setname) -> table reference

[Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech]

test of feature request:
A useful function would be to be able to determine what table a set 
belongs to.
I.e. Does the Set "My_Set" contain records from [Table1], [Table2], 
[Table...], [TableN]

This would help to eliminate issues with (accidentally) trying to do 
set manipulations on sets from different tables.

I envision, as I put in the title
Set Belongs to (Setname) -> table reference of some sort (pointer, 
table number, etc)

4D (the software), internally "knows" which set(s) belong to which 
table.
Why can't we, developers, see this information?

OK that works - thanks Tim.
In my defence, it never occurred to me to try to click a disabled star button - 
they look disabled - they are dull grey.
If they were the bright colour they become on mouse rollover, I would probably 
have clicked it before.

Which takes me to “I hate interfaces which hide their choices” - but I’ll stop

​uh... Do you mean for variable names?  nah... no thanks. Can't
remember the last time I felt constrained by a 31 char limit. In fact,
reading code with a bunch of variable names approaching 20 char makes my
blood pressure go up.​ The worst for me is meaningless variable names. The
next worst thing for me is really long variable names that could use some
smart concise editing that retains meaning with readability.

Please vote for this feature request: Raise the 31 character limit

[David Adams via 4D_Tech]

Every time I return to 4D programming the 31 character limit bites me. I
spend some silly amount of time trying to jam enough information into
names. I hate it. So much. Part of the problem is that 4D is missing any
kind of module concept or scope, so I burn up characters with a module
prefix. Which keeps my code a lot more reliable...so I won't be giving that
up.

This feature request has been around forever. Satisfying it would make many
of us a whole lot more productive in 4D. it would deliver a real, daily
improvement to work with 4D, for those of us that use longer names.

Feature requests on the NUG are just talk. Comments here are *officially*
ignored. So, to make a feature request count, you have to do it on the
forums, like this:

You vote by logging into the Forums, finding the thread, and then clicking
on the "rate this" stars at the top. Tim Penner recently posted a link to a
Tech Tip on how to vote:

Note that logging into the Forums seems to work now. I use Chrome and it
remembers my ID and seems to work fine now. (In the past, I could never
seem to get the login to stick...now it seems to work just fine.)

Feature request - Compiler directive - DO NOT change case of variable names

[Chip Scheide]

feature request :
http://forums.4d.fr/4DACTION/www_Post_Message/EN/1075213/0/0/


typing methods which are generated by the compiler, and therefore 
variable lookups/type-ahead in methods make all variables ALL CAPS.

Please  -- DO NOT -- change the case of the variables from that typed, 
when generating the various Compiler typing methods.

ex: 
(original variable name)
x_My_Text_Variable

Compiler typing method
C_TEXT(X_MY_TEXT_VARIABLE)

when using the type ahead for variables in a method the variable is 
presented as:
X_MY_TEXT_VARIABLE

Which means either I have to select it and then change the format of 
the variable name back to my preferred style, or I have to ignore the 
variable type-ahead.

It would be MUCH MUCH more useful if the compiler did NOT change the 
capitalization/formatting of variable names.

feature request

[Charles Miller]

I have added a feature request to create a setter to allow or disallow
savings of user names and another for passwords. I for one thought it was a
great feature that 15.1 did not have ability

Regards

Chuck
