Panther problems

2003-10-25 Thread Lee Perham
Panther has an odd effect on Rev. Rev 2.1.1 resides in my applications folder. However, if I click open an application, rather than opening Rev 2.1.1 it goes out and finds an old Rev 2.0 to open itself. Even if Rev 2.1.1 is open, the application starts up an old Rev 2.0. If I open Rev 2.1.1 a

I had the same problem with 10.2.8, but it was after buying a new laptop and transfering everything across ethernet. I finally had to toss everything connnected to Rev, and reinstall a fresh Rev 2.1.1. Working fine now. On Saturday, October 25, 2003, at 04:28 PM, Lee Perham wrote: Panther has

This is a known behavior as far back as I can remember with Rev. and I have even seen some custom props created in stacks by the IDE that refer to an older version. I am not sure why you would keep an old 2.0 version around... but if you really need it, just stuff it or zip it as a back up...

FWIW Actually, I think it is possibly not a bug. Not completely. Like I said, this did not happen to me until I did my first set of Builds AND when you look in the 'Open with' contextual menu you will notice that the list only contains those items that are builds. So this tells me that whe
