- PowerCrawler: Important Notes about the Catalog Files.
- ============ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
-
-
- o Catalog Files from PowerCrawler V1.0 can't be used anymore!!!!. The order
- of the Strings changed completely.
-
- o Since HighSpeed Pascal only supports strings with a maximum length of 255
- characters some Strings in the Catalog Files are split into two or more
- Sub-Strings (like MSG_ABOUT!). This is only because of the Strings for the
- internal Language which must not be longer than 255 characters due to the
- Limit of Pascal. The IDs of the internal and external (from the Catalog)
- Strings must be equal and so in the Catalog Files the Strings are split,
- too.
-
- If there was no internal Language the problem didn't exist because _MOST_
- Strings are referenced to as Pointers. I say MOST Strings! So if you create
- a new Catalog no String should be longer than 255 Characters. This might
- be changed in future Versions.
-
- o If you create a new Catalog be very careful:
-
- - There are some strings which need a "|"-Character at the End!
- - If there are "%"-Characters don't forget any of them!
- - Be careful with the Shortcuts. (For example: One Menu on Edit-Screen has
- simple Shortcuts (no AMIGA-KEY needed). This Shortcuts should not be
- the same as those for the Map-Window!)
- - Gadget-Strings should not be much longer than the Standard (English)
- Strings, because PowerCrawler is not really Font-Sensitive. It just
- scales the coordinates using the Font's tf_XSize and tf_YSize.
-
- o After having created a Catalog check out:
-
- - whether the Catalog has the same number of Strings as one of the
- supplied Catalogs (for Example with CatEdit).
- - whether there are any Gadget-Strings destroying Windows because of
- being too long, by starting PowerCrawler and checking out each Window.
- - whether all ShortCuts in a Menu are unique and work.
- - whether all System-Requesters work and display all options.
