I often create documents on my Iyonix by dropping program-generated DDL
files into "templates" consisting of existing OvationPro documents. Saving the
document as a new file works OK. If, however, I save it to overwrite a previous
document, I get a warning that the file on disk is newer than the file in memory
- presumably because the file on disk is newer than the "template".
When I drop the DDL file into the Ovation Pro "template", an asterisk is added
to the title bar, so it registers that the document has been updated but from
the
message I get when saving, I deduce that the date/time of the update is not
recorded correctly. It's only a minor problem (it's been like that for
years but I
never got round to mentioning it!) but if you could add it your little list of
such,
it would be appreciated. Unless, of course, it's a feature???
As they say, that's a feature not a bug. Firstly you are talking about
the overwrite applet - in other words something that you added to
Ovation Pro. The applet has a menu that lets you change the warnings
that are given.
The idea of this particular warning is to stop you clobbering the latest
version of a document by taking an older version and editing it. That
was a mistake I occasionally made in the past.
