 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Look at OPTION BAUDRATE It is worth pushing it a bit faster when you have so much data. MMCC shouldn't have any problems - tha was a lack of testinmg by me. The fix I put in will help you. I have done some more tweaks so the next update will do a 'proper' fix. Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

Hi Jim New update seems to be running well. Thanks. Will try higher baud rate later sometime. (Now for a wider window to accommodate wide screens) Quick question. In Help/About, is it possible for your WEB addresses etc to be actual links or at least the text selectable. I have noticed that with a number of Windows Pop-ups in other programs that the text is also not selectable. Thanks again Brian ChopperP |

I could, but the more things like directing users to the outside world, the more the useless AV programs get grumpy. That's why I don't automatically check for updates. Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

OK. Both MMCC's are both working fine on the CMM2's. Thanks again. Brian ChopperP |

G'day Jim, I trust all is well? I've been distracted so this is an overdue question. For the last two versions the tabs across the top (that normally show the file name) are very compressed in size. How can I widen them? Cheers, Andrew |

Can you post a screenshot? The last few versions were compiled with an updated PureBasic and I think there were a few changes with high DPI handling. My laptop runs at 150% and doesn't show any problems. Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

It looks like the tab-bar has shifted off screen. How many files do you have open? What happens if you click on the small left arrow on the tab-bar?  If all else fails, send me a copy of MMEdit5.inf Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

Hi Jim, Very little. I have 2 files open but it only expands a few mm.  |

| Andrew_G Guru Joined: 18/10/2016 Location: AustraliaPosts: 847 |
Phil, Thanks - yes my screenshot above only had one file open and the tab is miniscule. Multiple files and the tabs stack on each other. Jim, I have a test match to win so no pressure . . . Cheers, Andrew |

With a new (portable) installation I see no problems.  You should get the same by deleting the MMedit5.inf file to reset everything. Just doing an update keeps the old inf file. But PLEASE, send me a copy of your existing MMedit5.inf file first so I have a chance of working out what is going on. Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

Yes, deleting the old .INF fixed it. I imagine it was carried over from V4.

Thanks Phil. The V4 inf file is totally different and in a different location. The main window coordinates don't look right ( shouldn't be negative): ; Main Window MainX = -31995 MainY = -32000 MainW = 0 MainH = 20 But I have code to trap that. It looks like The tab-bar uses the default Windows font and that got lost somehow. I will try changing to a defined font to see if that is more robust. I can also set a minimum size. I just don't know why it happens to you and Andrew. Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

Phil and Andrew, I think you both have been using multiple monitors. My window recovery routine was not making the main window wide enough. I think the attached will do things better. The zip contains the MMEdit.exe which you replace in the program folder (with MMEdit shut down). MMEdit.zip Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

Thanks for that. Only using a single TV as a monitor though the PC has 3 video ports, 2 HDMI and a VGA that can form a single desktop or 2 can mirror the first. |

Hi Jim, Thanks for that. It does the trick. I'm only running my laptop and its monitor but I do have the hotel TV plugged in via HDMI - but not turned on. But wait . . . OK I see. Having run the new version I moved it out of the way and then used the old version - it worked too. So your clever new MMEdit version corrected one of the configuration files. I'm now back onto the new version (with multiple tabs with 'changes.txt' on them). Many thanks Jim. Andrew |

Problems occur when you run MMEdit with the second monitor attached and then run it with only one monitor. I was catching this but not giving the editor a big enough window for the tabs and it started to sulk. I have also noticed that my W11 system has a habit of stuffing up the size and position of a lot of programs (not just mine) when it's display goes to sleep. Very annoying when the email program needs to be resized multiple times during the day. Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

MMEdit V 5.1.6 has been uploaded to my website. The two recent fixes are included. MMCC was getting constipated when sent a continual stream of data. The editor tabs got confused when the window had to be recovered after going off screen (dual monitors etc) There is a new 'feature'  MMCC has a row of 12 'preset' buttons to easily switch between devices. I ran out of buttons so MMCC now has a 'Presets' menu. The first 12 entries are duplicates of the 12 buttons but you can have a total of 30 devices. That should keep me happy for a while. If you are short of real-estate, you can hide the buttons and rely on the menu. Handy on laptops. MMEdit still runs happily on Windows XP but you do need to use the portable version. (The installer is not happy with XP) I am not able to test Windows 7 64 or 32 bit. Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |
