Zugg Software :: View topic - [3.13] Window captions and variables and functions "bug"

Quick and simple.

1. Escape to untitled session.
2. #VAR test "testvar"
3. #WIN TestWin
4. Change the caption for TestWin to @test.

As you can see, it's clearly not scoping the variable from the main window. Don't know if this is intended or not, but it'd be nice to be able to store a variable in one window and let other windows have access to it.

If I remember correctly variables are not supposed to be visible across windows generally.
If you want the variable test to be seen across windows you should place it within a shared package.

or in a module

Sigh. Of course. The problem is, it's just one variable, and I shouldn't have to do that for one variable. One thing I'm concerned about is if I place the script (which just logs channels) into a module, the script itself will try to activate in the chat window as well. Oh well...

can each window run its own #log file?

It's more than just that, shalimar. I have each channel captured to its own individual file. Regardless, for whatever reason, it seems to be working now, and I hadn't made any changes to it... very weird...
