Loss of data
« on: May 02, 2002, 07:34:14 am »
Hi,

1) We have had a number of occasions where we lost data that we entered in a model. E.g. when we

  • enter a note in the properties (dockable) window, then doubleclick on the same item and change its name. The name will be saved but the new note is not saved.
  • open a model, enter a new note in the properties (dockable) window, then exit and save model. When we reopen the model, the new note is not there.


2) When we doubleclick an item in the project browser to open the property dialog and dismiss this dialog (OK / cancel), the project browser still has the correct item selected, but the dockable properties window is gray.

It seems like the program is build either for use of the dockable properties window OR the popup properties dialog.

Hope this helps you to improve this great product.

Greetings,
Tjerk

Reading your post reminded me that I have experienced similar behavior - for some reason the program just simply stops responding to mouse events...especially in the properties boxes. It just refuses to allow you to select anything - there is definitely a "disconnect" in there somewhere...

Hi chana,

I did not experience the problems you describe. I think you have another problem. Hope it can be solved for you.

Hello,

Tjerk, we have made a fix for this in the next build which is due out tomorrow 7th May.

By the sounds of your description Chana, it sounds like a problem we fixed last week in development (it will also be included in tomorrow's release).  It was a problem with the attribute screen's first tab not responding to mouse or keyboard actions, until you clicked on another tab, then the screen operates as normal.

Hope this helps.
