the imagefields
on page one. However, the day names and temperatures were
inserted properly. When I went back to page two and then
immediately back to page one, all worked well. Something is not
executing properly the first time page one is activated after a
page script change. This is supposed to be corrected in v1.61.
Occasionally, the file requester returned a long integer
rather than a path and filename. This is supposed to be
corrected in v1.61.
At first I tried to load the AnimBrushes into the
imagefields on page one from the PageClose script of page two.
This does not work. Apparently, imagefields have to loaded after
the page containing them becomes active.
If the combination of resolution, size, and frame rate of
AnimBrushes on a page exceed some critical value, all user
control of the program ends. HELM apparently gives precedence to
the animating of the images. When this situation occurs, all
that can be done is to re-boot.
HELM crashed a few times, but not many. Generally, they
occurred when chip memory was low. One crash was particularly
interesting. The animated startup screen asking me to insert the
Workbench diskette appeared. I have a hard disk and NEVER insert
a Workbench disk. A three-finger salute returned things to
normal.
After printing a script from within the script editor, the
clock pointer does not go away even when control is returned to
the user. To clear it, exit the script and then re-enter it.
If a locked imagefield is selected, the Image menu is
ghosted. After selecting the Edit/Unlock All menu item, the
Image menu is still ghosted even though the imagefield is still
selected. The imagefield must be selected again after unlocking
it for the Image menu to appear normally.
Needful Things
I sure wish that the name and the label of an object were
not one and the same thing. Sometimes the label for different
objects need to be the same, but their names different.
I wish there was a way to set the frame rate of an
AnimBrush with a script command. This would allow the rate to be
set at run time rather than at design time. I believe version
1.61 has this feature added.
There needs to be more flexibility in selecting border
colors for objects. Currently, a border can only use consecutive
colors in the palette.
One much needed feature is the ability to change the common
properties of multiple objects simultaneously. Currently, the
best way to give objects common properties is to create one
object, set its properties, and then duplicate it. However, this
only works for the same type
