Re: Field usage missing from Outline in 8.5.1

Mark,

I have 8.5.1 installed on my PC and I have not experienced the first issue
you describe. I see the "twisty" next to all fields in the outline that
are referenced by the program, and when clicked on I get a list of line
numbers where they are referenced and/or modified (M). If the files are
not in your library list, and/or maybe cached, I seem to remember an issue
that the fields are not displayed correctly in the outline.

The 2nd issue you state is there and I believe is a known issue with a fix
coming.

HTH

Just downloaded RDP 8.5.1 for I trial new to a laptop that has never had
WDSC, RD, or eclipse on it. OS is Windows 7. Installed not as
administrator because I do not have that password. But the install was
smooth as far as I could tell.

But I have a few issues, both with the outline view.

1) the outline view in previous versions would show me at a glance which
file fields were used, and where they are used. Both in the files branch,
and in the fields branch. A plus sign next to a field used to indicate
that it had some line numbers under it, now I see nothing in the files
branch which is a major performance issue for me when determining impact of
a change. Even in the Fields branch the little carrot doe not always
appear, and even when it does, there is no telling whether it is accurate
unless you open it up and look.

2) the outline view does not seem to understand the like keyword on a D
spec. Both fields defined LIKE another field in a very small program show
Unknown(0) as the field type.
