Hello Mike:
I said:
4 Changing window 'forms' seems unreliable in edit mode.
"Mike Miller" <email@hidden> responded with:
Can you give an example of what you mean? In the strictest FaceSpan
sense, windows don't use forms, so I'm confused. I haven't had any
problems editing windows in the couple years I've used FS.
"form" is the window "type": modal, document, floating, etc (See the
label in the FS window info ).
Apparently FS doesn't like window types to be changed at run time. I
have a nav bar which can be either "fixed" or "floating". Rather than
use two windows, I thought I'd use one and switch the type at run
time. That approach works but not reliably. Now I use two windows and
hide the one I don't need.
I've also discovered deleting resources can lead to instability.
Shirley's advice is to have a working project and a final project.
The former contains all resources one might use. The latter contains
only those resources one will use in the finished project. That way
there is no need to delete.
I've not discovered any way to manage tab panels with many layers and
many items. Working with them is truly frustrating.
