  • Fresh clean install

    From Martin Foster@2:280/464.27 to Tim Schattkowsky on Thu Feb 10 12:08:08 2022
    Hello Tim!

    Decided it was time to do a fresh clean install and everything went very well. However, I've spotted a couple of things which may need your attention :-))

    [1]Whilst configuring the nodelist, I noticed it had been pre-configured for NODELIST.A??
    Ummmm, errrrrr, who uses ARC these days, it should be NODELIST.Z?? :-)))

    [2]Whilst configuring the nodediff, I noticed it had been pre-configured for NODEDIFF,A??(yes, that *IS* a comma). Should be NODEDIFF.Z??

    [3]I can see an option for "Random Origin" and "First Origin" in the properties of each message area but where did the global option go. I think(?) it used to be somewhere in the "Prototype Area" config.

    Regards,
    Martin

    Happens, but I agree. Updated that to a Z :)

    ... and replaced the comma.

    [3]I can see an option for "Random Origin" and "First Origin" in the properties of each message area but where did the global option go. I think(?) it used to be somewhere in the "Prototype Area" config.

    This is configured by setting the respective option in the text grouped assigned to the prototype area.

    Maybe I just change it to Ctrl-S ?

    That's where it used to be but it's not there now ???

    Just to make sure we're looking in the same place, have a look at this .....

    Note that I've changed the name of the Text Group from "English" to "Default (English)".

    I always click the Send button, didn't even know about Ctrl+S :)
