Variables Duplicated?
|
I've searched through the forum and can't find any other post that has had this issue. I'm still using 3.08. I haven't upgraded because really I don't use the mapper and I haven't really been able to test 3.08 all that much. I haven't found any bugs in 3.08 until today.
I cannot recreate it, and I don't know what caused it. I can't even tell you if it is specific to 3.08. However, I logged in and upon trying to use a script of mine, nothing was working. In the class folder I have a sub folder that holds all the variables and another sub folder for all of the toolbar buttons. Well my buttons were not updating and the script wasn't working so when I looked in the toolbar folder every single variable had copied itself to that folder as well. The script was using the variables in the toolbar folder but the button was using the original variables if that makes sense.
What would cause that to happen? Another strange thing I noticed was that the package I had added to the session normally has the package name on the tab, but it showed the session name on both the session and package tabs. |

Having a folder disabled but having the variable updated will cause duplicated variables. I've run into that same problem myself.
Another reason why it might happen is if you're using #CLASS Classname with no closing #CLASS 0. That will happen, too.
A third reason, though it's probably not likely, is that if you're using some trigger to call a class (or alias) and CMUD doesn't properly close that class, either... *shrug* In that case, it'd be a bug.
Other than that, I've no clue.

Hey OldGuy2, I know your mileage has varied when switching to a newer version but I will still strongly recommend that you upgrade.
First a quick look at the Version History will show you that while mapper fixes/enhancements were the primary focus, there were other fixes/improvements as well.
The second reason I would recommend upgrading is because it may be possible that the bug that existed in 3.08 may have already been fixed (directly or indirectly) in the later version. |

Well I can tell you no to the second two, but I do disable the toolbar class when I am not using the script and don't want the buttons on the screen so that doesn't even make sense. All the variables out of the variable folder copied to the disabled folder?  I know exactly what you are referring to though concerning a disabled folder. Having a script assign a value to the variable in a disabled folder and it will then create a new variable. However, mine did just the opposite and created duplicates of every single variable into the subfolder that gets disabled.
@Tech, yeah I think I am going to just upgrade to the latest. |

Also, the 3.08 *should* have expired for you on August 1st. Did it not expire? Hate to think I've been rushing the 3.10 release for the Aug 1st deadline when I didn't need to.
