Hi,

I just tried to install 7.02 on a Windows XP Pro machine on which I
already had CF5, CF6 and CF7.0.0 running fine.
I used directory CFMX702 to make sure.
After install, the directory only contains about 5 files, among them is
the install log file.

This list is then converted to XML in some AJAX process.

CF docs about CFFTP says:
If |action = listDir|, a |mode| column is returned. The column

Will CFFTP still return file status à la Unix?, or no status at all?

Hi,
I've followed about all threads in the list about source control tools,

team of developers working

Well, I'd like to give it a try, but I've never been able to find a link

Even when one clicks on Download, there is nothing to download, except
source code.
If I have to compile it, this is not what I call
3. They work with their local files as normal, and when they have
changes that are ready to go back into the repository, they commit
them.
Ok, but what happens if two developers have modified the same file?
Isn't there any way they can lock files so that no other developer can
open it for
What happens is when developer A commits a file changed by developer B,
he is told there is a conflict, and is prompted to compare the two
versions, generally using diff or some variant of it.
But this is ridiculous!
So programmer B has to read and check all what programer A has done, and
This sounds like a job for Dreamweaver.
I read somewhere that this feature what buggy in DW, and I'd rather have

If the tool could just mark local files as read-only, any editor opening

Then he could use the client
Sure, lock the files, but this defeats the purpose of 'concurrent

It's only ridiculous if you routinely have developers working on the

This happen evry day with some files, ie: files that contain strings in

But these files are quickly modified, so locking them for a short period
Developer B is still going to have to frequently at least review what
changes where made to the file so that (s)he understands them and how
them may or may not affect the task they are about to use the file for.

Can't you create your own custom header value? I'm talking the kind
like X-[something].
Not really, because the tree structure is constructed from the

in conjunction with the References: headers by most mail readers.
The References : header lists message-ID from previous
You don't need to set your own message ID to create a tree structure,
just compare the reply-to against a past message ID.
Right, I just figured this out.
I was also using this header to identify the application, but now I use
the Xmailer header instead.
I just put the application name in it.
How about this:
CFPARAM name=ARGUMENTS.asking1 DEFAULT=
CFPARAM name=ARGUMENTS.asking2 DEFAULT=
CFSET price = listFirst(#ARGUMENTS.asking1#,#ARGUMENTS.asking1#,0)
This way (and since CF ignores empty elements in lists), price will take
the first non empty value,
and 0 if both are empty.
