strange clone behaviour: bug?

2004-07-13 Thread andreas
Hi I've read some articles in metacard lists about clone behaviour. For myself I've now a strange error that I can't solve: From a main stack A I call a substack B which has the handler klonen. The handler klonen in substack B has the simple script: on Klonen put ZuKopieren _ Schuelername

will experiment with this stack to produce the cloning error and hope to post this soon. Every hint is welcome! Thanks Andreas Am 13.07.2004 um 13:17 Uhr schrieb Wouter: strange clone behaviour: bug? From: andreas Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2004 01:31:20 -0700 Hi I've read

Andreas - I'm afraid this won't be of much help, but about a year ago, I reported a problem with the clone function - we were executing it within a repeat loop and could guarantee an eventual crash, although it was completely unpredictable as to _when_ it would crash. It felt like a memory

Hi again, A little addendum: The other thing you have to check for before cloning a card is password protection of the stack you are cloning from. If protected and no passkey is entered there will be no cloning, only error dialog. Greetings, Wouter

Hi Mark thanks for the link. This describes exactly what happens in this case. I do have to clone about 10 cards per user. But Rev stops processing after the first card. This card indeed has grouped objects! So it seems that the cloning behaviour is a bug and isn't fixed in Rev 2.2.1 ? Kind

I've queried the list in the past, as well, and got nowhere on this. There's definitely a bug, but it is not predictable or consistent. I, too, gave up using the clone function, and went to a sort of multiple blank template approach. I guessed how many cards would be the most I'd ever want in

I responded too soon. Should have checked the mail first--another 30 or so messages. I'm glad to see it's being fixed. I'd queried bugzilla before I posted, but used 'clone' rather than 'cloning' so didn't find anything. Don't know whether I'll 'back up' in my project to use the workaround,
