Hi Mike, Can the new editor open a screen file that was
originally made with Jetcam 1.01 without corruption?
I am still deciding that. Due to the way the original editor
I wrote works, this is going to be complicated to do.
In any case, it would be about the last thing I'm going to
look at.
Copy screen itemsYes, you will be able to copy and paste from 2 separate running copies of
the editor. But as things stand now, this will not work if one copy is the
existing editor and the other is the new editor.
I may create a quick and dirty solution by simply updating the copy / paste
code in the existing editor, so that it will be compatible with the new one.
This would also negate having to support the existing EDT file format.
SlidersThere has been much discussion about sliders,
and I am unclear as to which slider issue you are talking about.
The new editor
will allow you to assign a bitmap to a DRO in order
to make a slider. This is fairly trivial. As far as I know, that's about
all MACH will support concerning sliders.
Inside MACH, sliders are simply images that stretch, and there is no
way for me to improve on that. However, the situation may change
in the future depending on what new development occurs in MACH.
