Re: Workspace issues other people are reporting

Dave,
I use RDP 8.0.3 and have not had workspace problems.

I don't "push the envelope" as others on this list.

I do see "crashes" where the editor abruptly closes,
but these only happen when I have a number of code
errors - typically happens when I start copying
code from another app to add a function and the added
fragments are incomplete.

These fragments seem to "irritate" the editor and it becomes
a race between me fixing code and the editor's irritation
with my mess.

But, while irritating, not a big deal and I have learned to
manage; so far, I don't think I have lost so much as a
character of code.

Looking forward to the next RDP update.

Count me as a big fan of RDP.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Workspace issues other people are reporting

I'm still stuck on WDSCi 7, so my experience may not be relevant to you lucky folks with current versions, but I was just wondering if any of you with workspace problems have tried running the clean option? I've been using the same workspace for several years, even moved it from my old XP machine to my current Win 7 machine, and have never had a problem that clearing the caches and/or running -clean hasn't fixed. I haven't created a new workspace since I upgraded from WDSCi 6 to 7. So I'm curious - is it my experience that's atypical, are people just unaware of how to fix their workspaces, or are workspaces more fragile in the newer versions?

Thanks!
