- +o If you make a mistake when editing the
- ConverterRegistry file, your program will exit with an
- error message while parsing the file. The solution is
- to repair the file. High on our wish-list is a
- registry editor that will eliminate the need for users
- to access the registry directly.
-
- Because the whole registry file is parsed the first
- time it is used in an application, it is easy to find
- these errors - simply make sure you run a program (such
- as one of the sample programs) that exercises the
- parser any time you modify the registry.
-
-
- +o Although it is possible to modify the converter
- registry while applications are running and have them
- start using the new registry automatically, not all
- applications will take advantage of this feature. If
- an application you are using does not appear to behave
- consistently with the converter registry, try
- restarting the application.
-
-
- +o The X toolkit intrinsics have been modified to provide
- GoldenGate data conversion where necessary during
- selection transfer (cut/copy/paste and drag/drop)
- operations. This facility is switched off by default.
- To switch it on, you can set the resource
- _a_u_t_o_m_a_t_i_c_C_o_n_v_e_r_s_i_o_n to True.
-
-
- +o The default value of the _s_e_l_e_c_t_i_o_n_T_i_m_e_o_u_t resource in
- Xt has been increased to 30000 milliseconds, to give
- automatic conversion a chance to complete before the
- toolkit cancels the operation. The resource
- _s_e_l_e_c_t_i_o_n_T_i_m_e_o_u_t allows you to override this value.
-
- This has proved to be adequate for many common
- operations involving images, short sound clips and 3D
- models. If you find that copy/paste works for small
- files but fails for large files of the same format, try
- increasing the value of this resource in a resource
- file.
-
- If automatic conversion fails for a particular file,
- make sure the converter works and your data is valid.
- You can check the converter and the invocation

- mechanism using the _g_g__c_o_n_v_e_r_t__f_i_l_e program in the
- ConvertFile example code directory.
-
- If your frequently deal with huge files, such as movie
- clips, and are experiencing this problem, you should
- keep the _s_e_l_e_c_t_i_o_n_T_i_m_e_o_u_t value high. Bear in mind
- however, that the toolkit will take longer to cause a
- timeout on a genuine selection conversion failure if
- you do this. This does not affect GoldenGate itself,
- only the Xt Intrinsics selection transfer operations
- that use it.
