Zugg Software :: View topic - [1.14] Compatability report still not displaying

Apprentice Joined: 12 Mar 2005 Posts: 195

Get the super cool message when you import a new .mud file if you want to check for compatability. So i did.

It buzzed away for 30 seconds and a button appeared on my taskbar saying compatability report.

When i click it/try to maximis it it sorta zooms into the bottom left hand corner of my screen, and nothing is there. So cant view it... perhaps we could look at gettting it as a tap inside cmud? like the status window tabs? might solve some problems

Just cant wait to get the report working so i can scan my system cos it isnt useable right now!

Thanks zugg.

Same here, I sent in a crash report on mine.

Confirmed on my laptop when I have only a single monitor enabled. When I enable my second monitor (despite it not being plugged in), move it over the the left, so 2 is on the left and 1 is on the right, I can see the compatibility report. This is the same workaround I discovered and used on 1.13.

Zugg, doesn't Delphi save window placement when you do a compile? So it might just need a recompile with the windows in the right place for single-monitor people. Or maybe you are overriding that - just something I have a feeling I picked up from my boss, but I could be confused.

I have a routine that is supposed to be called to fix the window placement (to deal with the issue of Delphi saving the designed position). For some reason it's not getting called for the Compatibility window. I'll look into this today. I don't know why this particular window is causing so much trouble.

Well, it's wierd. I reproduced the problem with 1.14 with the compatibility window not displaying. So I loaded up the code and looked to make sure the routine that handles the initial creation of a window to fix what monitor it's on was being called. I compiled and ran it again and now it's working. So I don't know why it wasn't working before. If this problem isn't fixed, then please report back to this thread. I'm still a bit perplexed why this particular window is giving us so much trouble. After all, CMUD has dozens and dozens of windows and I've never run into one as stubborn as this one.

But since the majority of bug reports and feedback were concerning this problem, I felt I needed to do a quick update today so that people could start focusing on more serious bugs again. So upgrade to 1.15.

Just noting that it works just fine now.
