We really need users to sign onto plugin showstoppers in the Xojo bug base because of their awful system to weight the bugs then if only the plugin author signs them then the issue will not get any attention.
This one here causes Plugin control experience on Linux to be less than good, basically Linux Them drawing will randomly not work because Xojo leaves the graphics port in some bad state if focus was obtained with SetFocus: 43559
Update: we don’t really care about 43559 any more having found ways to clean up the graphics state our selfs to get things to work right.
This one here causes plugin controls in IDE design mode to draw Picture way to big and out of bounds when using Image sets, giving Xojo really bad impression to new users right away in design mode. Event Xojo’s own Bevel button can reproduce this issue.
43174 – Controls that use image sets always show the 2x image regardless of whether the IDE is on a 1x or 2x screen
Other news is that the new ExcelWriter plugin that will be coming soon is progressing well and there are no big problems expected. Its release date is not decided yet but we might post some pre-releases on our Beta zone.
Hi all!, and how far are the Excel Exporter new classes?
And will it support xlsx native file as many people says?
Thanks.
It is very far gone, it was only days away from release. Xojo 2016r4 and 4.1 shifted our focus for a bit to adapt other plugins for their new Drawing system they now got on Windows. And it was also the thought since the library used in the Excel exporter is changing fast then delaying it a little bit would only make it even better. And yes it does have native xlsx files. (Only xlsx, not old style xls or other kinds). It is writer only (no reader).
