• [Bug] Contacts/Outbound windows

    From Martin Foster@2:310/31.7 to Tim Schattkowsky on Fri Nov 5 13:36:12 2021
    Hello Tim!

    If I change the height of either the Contacts or the Outbound windows, the new settings are not remembered after exiting and restarting WinPoint. Can you please have a look at this when you have time, thanks.

    Regards,
    Martin

    Hello Tim!

    the new settings are not remembered after exiting and restarting
    WinPoint. Can you please have a look at this when you have time, thanks.

    Is on the list. I have not fixed this because it seems to be suprisingly non-trivial to do this as the underlying component has to much automatic behavior that seems to get in the way. Thus, as the component will be probably replaced anyway I postponed this problem.

    OK, fair enough.

    BTW ..... I note that the size and position of the editor window is still not remembered, probably because you haven't looked at this yet. Just thought I'd mention it :)

    PMFJI.. Maybe the SEND/RECIEVED column-sort isn't remember
    either. Remember that situation in the old version?

    Please feel free :-))

    I've changed the default column sort to something which better suits my taste and so far, it hasn't changed back to the default.

    Remember that situation in the old version?

    Well actually, I don't ??

    From comparison table at https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/points

    [o] when message sort order is last "set" by Received date or
    Sent date and newest to oldest, the program will always resort
    by oldest to newest the next time the program is run.

    [o] when message sort order is last "set" by Bytes and largest
    to smallest, the program will always resort by smallest to
    largest the next time the program is run.

    Thanks for reminding me but in light of Tim's warning, I'll defer testing this until an updated beta test version is released.

    Is on the list. I have not fixed this because it seems to be suprisingly
    non-trivial to do this as the underlying component has to much automatic
    behavior that seems to get in the way. Thus, as the component will be
    probably replaced anyway I postponed this problem.

    OK, fair enough.

    Works in 373.
