NewWave Bridge for
Freelance Graphics
Known Problems
1/16/92
000012 When a presentation (.PRE) file is saved from within
Freelance to a directory other than the default directory
for Freelance object data files (typically \HPNWDOS\FLW),
the file is not automatically attached to NewWave.
Comments: This is consistent with the way other
encapsulated applications work in NewWave (e.g. Gallery).
It is only noted here because users may have questions
about it.
Remedy: Use the NewWave DOSFileAttach tool to attach the
file to NewWave, or save the file in the \HPNWDOS\FLW
directory.
000013 When new presentation (.PRE) files are created and
saved from within Freelance (by using the File - New /
File - Save menu commands, or the File - Save As menu
command), the file is not saved in the \FLW\WORK directory
(unless the directory is specified).
Comments: The file will be saved (if no directory is
specified) in whatever directory is specified in the
Freelance Graphics user settings. To see (or change) what
directory is specified; in Freelance select the Tools -
User Setup menu command and then click the Directories
button. The directory specified in the Working text box
is the directory where new files will be saved by default.
The reason that this directory should be set to
\HPNWDOS\FLW, instead of \FLW\WORK, is so that new files
that are created will be automatically connected to
NewWave.
Remedy: The user can change the working directory back to
\FLW\WORK if they want to.
000017 After the last Freelance object is closed no more
keystrokes are recorded in the Freelance main window.
(This means that if the user records a File - Close (Alt+F
C) and then attempts to record a File - Exit (Alt+F X) to
close the Freelance main window, the File - Exit
keystrokes will not be recorded [because the last
Freelance object had already been closed]).
Comments: This problem stems from Freelance being a one-
instance MDI application. Since only one instance of
Freelance can ever be running, all objects are linked to
child MDI windows contained in that one instance. When
the last child MDI child window is closed, NewWave's link
to Freelance is ended, but the Freelance main window may
still remain open. Because NewWave's link to Freelance has
ended, no more keystrokes can be recorded, even though the
Freelance main window may remain open.
Remedy: Use the File - Exit (Alt+F X) keystrokes to close
the last Freelance object. This will close the Freelance
object and the Freelance main window, and the keystrokes
will be recorded.
000021 After a Freelance object is opened and then closed,
leaving the Freelance main window open, and then a new
presentation file is created and saved into the
\HPNWDOS\FLW directory. The new file is not automatically
attached to NewWave.
Comments: This is consistent with with way other
encapsulated applications work in NewWave. The new
presentation file is not automatically attached because no
Freelance objects remain open to check for the existence
of a new file in the \HPNWDOS\FLW directory.
Remedy: Don't close the Freelance object until the new
presentation file is created and saved into the
\HPNWDOS\FLW directory, or use the NewWave DOSFileAttach
tool in NewWave to attach the file.
000026 Trying to close the Freelance main window (by double
clicking on the system box) while a Freelance object is in
the process of opening causes the error "NewWave is unable
to open this object. (FL003)".
Remedy: Wait until the Freelance object is finished
opening before trying to close it.
000043 When playing back keystrokes in the legend area of
the Graph Data window of Freelance Graphics, some
keystrokes may not play back.
Comments: This happens because the keystrokes are not
buffered when playing back in the legend area of the Graph
Data window of Freelance Graphics.
Remedy: Split up the keystrokes into small groups in the
agent task and insert a PAUSE command between them. (See
NewWave Agent documentation for more information on
editing the task and on the PAUSE command.)
000047 When drag/drop printing a Freelance object to the
open NewWave Printers tool window, a blank page prints on
the selected printer, but the Freelance object prints on
the default printer (as set from within Freelance or the
Windows Control Panel).
Remedy: Change the default printer by using the Windows
Control Panel before drag/dropping the Freelance object on
the NewWave Printer tool, or open the Freelance object and
print from within Freelance.
000051 When Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is not installed (it is
installed by default with Freelance), no NewWave Freelance
object can be opened. The error message is "NewWave in
unable to open this object. (FL003)".
Comments: This happens because Freelance puts up an error
message every time Freelance is run if ATM is not
installed. Because the error message is displayed the
data file cannot be loaded by Freelance.
Remedy: Install the Adobe Type Manager.
000092 After doing a File - Save As from within Freelance
and then closing Freelance so that the message "One or
more new DOS files have been created. Do you want to
attach them to new objects of type: Freelance Graphics?"
is displayed, the response to this message box is not
recorded by the NewWave Agent.
Remedy: None.
000117 When a Freelance object which contains DDE links for
which the source objects are not open, is drag/dropped to
the NewWave Printers tool, the Freelance object will not
print.
Remedy: Open the Freelance object and print it from
within Freelance.
