Hi Zafar

I didn't think about the backup-part. It's corrected in version V1.39.a.

Hello,

version V1.39 is available. Changes:

Toolbar icon issue fixed. Minor changes for external editor.
Program memory request decreased.
When last used file was checked, menu "insert addon" wasn't enabled, fixed.
DRO background issue fixed, "Insert addin" file selection dialog "save" changed to "open". yellow windows was missplaced sometimes, fixed.
Under Win2000 the combo box for page selection didn't expand, fixed. Installation procedure  for WIN2000 adapted. "Save" and "save as" reported an error on FAT32 file-systems. Error message disabled. When saving data, MachScreen saves set-file data, frame sizes and all locked items. The frame-sizes and lock-bits are stored in an ADS. FAT file-systems don't support ADS, this means frame-sizes and lock-bits are not remembered at next start.

Hi,

I found the reason why an error is reported by save and save as. When MachScreen executes "save" or "save as" it stores the file-set data and the window-sizes and the lock-bits. These data is stored in a "ADS". These "alternate data streams" don't exist in FAT file-systems. I will change that, if the data are stored to a FAT, or FAT32 file-system, frame-sizes and lock-bits will not be stored.

HI

@Hood, I got your set-file. It's not a matter of overlaying elements, its a matter of blending. I can't tell you, how long it's goon take.

@John, I think, its because of W2k.  What kind of file-system are you using, FAT32, or NTFS?

Hi Hood,

if you want, I could take a deeper look into it, but to do that, I would need your set-file and the bitmaps. An easy way to take all the files needed is "project export".

Hi Hood,

I'm not sure. the problem is overlapping two elements. How is you skin look alike? Could you please check "Show overlaying elements for selection" in options -> Settings sheet Generic prog settings. Click the DRO. Does a window popup showing more than 1 element. If so, what elements are shown?

Hi Hood,

thank you for testing. Do you have the DRO skinned (bitmap laying over DRO)?

Hi cjmerlin,

there is still the problem with the combobox, which doesn't expand. Could you uninstall all older versions and install version V1.38.f or V1.38.g. If the problem is still the same, could you please send me your set-file and tell me what you have done step by step?
You can find my email address under the help menu.

Hi zafarsalam,

Machscreen cannot open 2 set-files at the same time. But you can copy from one set file to another. Open the source set-file, select the items from the page you are interested in (Ctrl A copies all elements from a page), don't close file, just open the target set_file, select the page and paste the data, e.g. Ctrl V.
You also can import pages using "insert addon". This works at the moment only, if the "load last used file at start" is not checked. I will correct that with the next version.
Select menu File -> Insert addon change the file filter e.g. to *.set and select the set-file which you want to add files from. Assign the pages you want to use and click ok.

EDIT:
Version V1.38.g can be downloaded.
