CustomProperties

[Dixie]

Good Afternoon...

I have a stack that contains custom properties... the data in the custom properties is read quite frequently, added to and deleted.... this all works fine on the mac but seems to working a strange way under windows.... all the handlers work well, except one... this works but only if it is 'fired' twice.

None of the data brought in to the stacks is kept on quitting... so, I dont think that I am suffering the problems of text between platforms.

Anyone with any experience of this sorts of behaviour between platforms ?

regards,

Dixie

Hi Dixie,

the platform differences regarding text will definitively not be responsible for data not getting saved!
Please give a bit more info: scripts, saving of the stack (when etc.)...

Custom props work pretty well on Windows too! (I use them all day long.) As Klaus said, most likely the answer lies in your scripts.

Good morning....

Thanks to Klaus and Curry for your replies... I am having a little problem that perhaps you can help me with, besides the custom properties that is...

I have a fields that may or may not contain 'french' words with all their associated accents, graves and such... I save some of this information to another field and retrieve it later... again on the mac, the machine I'm working on, I have no problems... the text goes in and out without a problem... but running the stack under windows, my problems begin... the 'french' text, or rather the words with the baggage of accents attached to them.... Argelès and Brantôme for example... does not come back from the field I put it into...

Is Unicode text the answer or HTML text ?

Any help appreciated

kind regards,

Dixie

Just save and restore the htmlText and you'll be fine.
