I had reported a bug and then discovered you'd already fixed it.

So, when is this coming out? Any idea?

vers resource data isn't stored correctly
DITL editor doesn't work without Rosetta

Can you give me more details about what goes wrong with these?

‘Coming out’ is fluid — I’ll release the next alpha as soon as I have time to package it, with maybe one or two more things added in response to recent discussions.

On second look, the vers is only a problem without Rosetta. The Version, Build and Release type show incorrect values.
For DITLs I get the toolbar thing down the side but the middle of the window is just a giant grey nothing, with scrollbars stretching away endlessly.
I'm guessing these are both caused by some missing byte swaps?

Also, for DITLs, would it be possible to make the size of the window fit the size of the dialog when you open them?

Um... help?

Thanks, I’ll take a look at these.

Maybe — window sizes are a nuisance, but they’ve improved recently as a result of other work.

That’s a bug in Confirm() that I’ve already fixed in response to one of your other reports.

Guy: Does the problem with the DITL editor still occur if you delete or renumber the associated DLOG resource?

Yes, it does. The editor shows a couple of thousand items in every DITL, if that helps.

Wow, a lot has happened since I last saw Mission Computer. I just got finished reading through the post, but when I reached the end, the last post was from like 3 weeks ago. How far along is the 4.0 version and what's currently being worrked on?

No major new features since a2, but lots of little corrections — I intend to release a new alpha as soon as I’ve had time to fix a few of the things reported here.
