Thank you.
I appreciate the great work the RD team does
and can't imagine going back to seu.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] RDP issues: Should I upgrade from 8,0,3?


My $.02 is that the memory leak and content assist issues mentioned are all due to the new live model that is supporting live outline view and live content assist and hovers.
If you have 8.5.1 installed you can turn off the live outline view using the Preference on Remote Systems->IBM i Parsers->ILE RPG "Update the Outline view when text is changed in the editor". There is a shortcut to the preference right in the outline view toolbar.
Once the live model is disabled, your outline view and RPG editing experience will be pretty well identical to what you got in 8.0.3.

If you disable the live model I recommend trying it out again in the next version of RDp as it will continue to improve in robustness and features.

Based on the running list of what appear to be features that work at
8.0.3 that have troubles or disappear in later versions should I be
recommending my customers upgrade? My tendency is to hold off at this
point because many of them are relatively new to the product and I
don't want to cause harm that could alter their currently positive view.

I don't personally push RDP to a point where it breaks so I don't
think any of these issues would matter to me much, but my customers
would push it quite a bit harder.

Based on my experience Jim there is nothing in 8.5 (magic Outline view
included) that makes up for the grief I have suffered as a result of the upgrade. In the future I intend to be much more cautious in moving to a new version - this one has cost me days and days of wasted time. Most of it when I most needed it - but nothing new there of course.

If I had the chance to do it over - I wouldn't <grin>
