RE: Documentation in 2.5 - still doesn't show correct document -gives xmlerr
Hi Just like any other major feature overhaul there will be a few teething problems but I think the end result will be worth the pain. I'm starting to think that search should be moved to a separate dialog where people can choose what parts of the document they want searched. For example, doing much more than a syntax and example search may be overkill for most cases. It would be nice to be able to have checkboxes indicating which sections of the document one wanted to search. This might also separate the search function from the filter function which seems to cause some confusion. I doubt a change like that could or should make 2.5 though. Perhaps 2.5.1 if there is interest/discussion on the idea. Cheers Monte ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Filter with "choose" produces a no-match result in the default, out-of-the-box mode. If I click on "Dictionary" then filtering with choose does indeed produce just the choose command. Perhaps what is needed is a way for me to say, in essence, use the Dictionary as my default doc search/filter basis. With the old docs, we could set the page to appear when the doc window opened. It didn't *work*, but the idea was right! ;-) On Aug 29, 2004, at 1:20 AM, Geoff Canyon wrote: Try using Filter With instead of Search For regards, Geoff Canyon [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Aug 27, 2004, at 4:29 PM, Dan Shafer wrote: Well, I get the doc to appear when I click on it, but things are worse in the new RC1.

Sorry, Marian... I don't get it. What OS are you on? (I'm on OS X 10.3.4) Perhaps that has something to do with it...

Am I the only person who continues to get xmlerr document when trying to select an item in the dox?? Am redownloading now to be sure I didn't just get a corrupt download...

Well, I get the doc to appear when I click on it, but things are worse in the new RC1. Now when I do a Search for "choose", I get a huge list of dictionary entries, each of which apparently includes the word "choose" in its text, but the list is not in any discernible order. Makes it completely useless. (BTW, the choose command itself appears near the bottom of this randomly ordered list.) I don't see ANY value in a search that looks for text inside descriptions of these commands. In the dictionary, the search out by default look only for the key words themselves in the name of the item, no? Or am I missing something here about how other people use these things? Now, if I click on "Topics" then a full-text search probably has real value. But not in the Dictionary. Dan On Aug 27, 2004, at 4:09 PM, Marian Petrides wrote: Am I missing something here?
