Hi!
Just now I was reading through some of the mail I missed while away at
a conference and I have a few general comments.
1. Doug Pease had some problems with Artemis being bigger than the
size of his screen. This is a problem I am aware of, but haven't
got around to fixing. All my GUI codes are written assuming that
your screen is at least 1024x768. They just don't display
properly at lower resolution. Similarly, there is an option under
Windows XP for using fonts larger than normal for the specified
resolution. That is, you can set resoution at 1024x768 but have
windows use scaled up fonts such that, say, a 10pt font would
display as if the resolution were 800x600. This feature is nice
those with untrustworthy eyes, but my GUI codes play poorly with
this.
Bottom line: to use my codes you need to set your resolution to
1024x768 or higher and not use the scaled up fonts.
My apologies to anyone stuck with weak eyes or a old monitor.
2. Lots of people have complained trap files being written to a place
that includes this string: __ENV__IFEFFIT_DIR. Although people
reported several different situations, everytime you see that
string, it is the same bug. I am aware of this bug and I think I
have fixed it. I am going to try to get a new version out
sometime during the week of June 27th.
3. Peter Southon made a very clever suggestion one day which I would
like to modify just slightly. Make a desktop shortcut to
C:/Program Files/Ifeffit/horae/stash/
This will allow you to quickly find trap files written by Athena
and Artemis and also to very quickly find Artemis' workspace.
Ta ta,
B
