It's in Preferences. When you open the Preferences window, make sure it has the name of the window in the title bar (it should say something like Preferences for Module: Whatever). It's in the Comma ...

Lol, that was it. Each window does have a timer.
For some reason all my windows except the session window does this. I am not sure how it happened but I definitely didn't do it on purpose. It's terro ...

Thanks for all the input, guys. I think for now I'll just stick to one package and then look to the future...

I'm always really annoyed when people claim that CMUD is complicated. It's only complicated when you start trying to run scripts.
Don't be annoyed Zugg. I am not complaining about CMUD being complic ...

Windows within shared packages just isn't supported. This is planned in the future with the addition of zApp-like XML layout design for modular windows like you are talking about. So yes, this makes ...

There is another option, Kjaerhus. In your package, create a new window, with the button defined in it. That button will not be visible to any other windows. The downside is that the button also wi ...

If all the other extra windows are in the same package as the button, does the button still appear on them all?
Especially if its attached to just that window instead of sitting loose in the package? ...

I would see the the 'problem' in this case is in the design of the alarm. You essentially wanted a scenario where the alarm is a
I suppose the packages function could be usable in order to avoid ac ...

Can you post a screen shot of what you have done in CMUD that you can't distribute via package. That's the part I'm struggling with. If you can create it in CMUD, which it seems you can, I'm not cle ...

I'm not sure about the "tricks" that Matt is talking about. If you have the "Auto Update" option enabled in the View menu of your Package Editor, then it should always update automatically. I am not ...

I can't speak for him really, but I can supply a screenshot of Stormfront to give folks a better idea of the complex layout they use:

You've got the id ...

If this is done by design I'd say that the design is poor

The design is only poor if you can demonstrate how to do it a better way. You cannot, because you do not understand how CMud works.
Y ...

The reason the alarm runs in several windows is because the package that the alarm is in is enabled in several windows. It is deterministic. I know that by default packages are enabled for all windo ...

Do you know about the "tricks"? Sometimes CMud will not immediately update, so you need to switch taskbar windows (sometimes it's enough to flip between the main cmud and the package editor windows, ...

This is not a bug, actually. Alarms don't trigger on text, so there's no way to assign scope to them unless they are already limited (ie, in a window). This means that any alarm in a module gets app ...

What happened to this? Does it work at all any more? Sometimes it's ignored and other times I manage to disable but when I try to enable again I don't see the setting again (talking about GUI elements ...

I think everything right now falls with the lack of support of setting all parameters for settings through the command line. There are simply too many things you can do in the editor which cannot be d ...

Just found out that if I create a button in the same package as the alarm the button is shown for the same windows as received tick messages.

There seem to be a problem with alarms and multiple packages and multiple windows. I am trying to encapsulate certain features in different packages and use them from my default package. In this case ...

Kjaerhus, I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for when you ask for best practices. Beyond what has already been mentioned it comes down to how you want to organize your code. Compartmentalizati ...

GUI items? Not sure what you are asking for.
Elements that you can actually see on the screen - the Graphical User Interface. That includes windows, buttons, gauges, etc.

There are no "best practices" yet. Generally, you can organize your packages however you want. The only trick is that if you have one secondary package using variables or aliases defined in another, ...

Also I'd love to know whether there is a command to copy a setting from one package to another. Say if I want to make the whole GUI interface in a package and then create a setup alias that when calle ...

What you're describing is easily doable with just some planning and the tips we provided earlier.
Could you elaborate on that please? Smile

Maybe there is some sort of "best practice" concerning ...

Kjaerhus, I'm not sure what you mean when you say the default package is not self contained? How is it not self-contained. Maybe I misunderstand you, so exactly what do you mean by self-contained. ...
