Zugg Software :: View topic - [3.16b] BUG: Several variable types no longer have XML tab

Posted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 10:44 pm

Not sure if this was intentional or not, but some of the variable types no longer have an XML tab. Don't see any real harm in it, but from what I've seen, database records, string list, array, integer, and float no longer have the tab.

By the way, not sure if this happened before, but I love the way integer and float variables have changed graphic-wise.

This is normal. Only the AutoType "type" has the XML tab. That's the way it has always been.

And yes, the new screens for Integer and Floating are new and were done to improve the editor for novice users, along with moving the variable "type" field up to the top instead of having it hidden within the More/Less panel.

The AutoType is NOT the only one that has the XML tab, though. The ones I listed are the ones without the XML tab. Everything else (string (expanded), string (literal), COM Object, and of course AutoType) shows the XML tab.

Like I said, it's no big deal either way - doesn't hurt anything, but wasn't sure if it were some internal mix-up or a side-effect of fixing the previous bug I posted. Can't confirm it now, but I'm pretty sure that XML tab has always shown for all types in previous versions of CMUD.

Well, whatever...it hasn't changed. The String List and Database types have never had the XML tab. It's only variable types that have the "Text" input field. The XML tab is part of the Text editor for variables. So yes, Literal, Expanded, COM...anything with the Text input.

I just tried 3.12 and it was the same there. Don't have 2.37 on my laptop.
