Hi,

> CHANGE : Revamped Start Page.

The ToolTip is incorrect and points only to a directory rather than a full
file name? Not sure if that is what you intended. So, the cursor stays as
an arrow when you go over a link rather than change to a Hand/pointer icon
as it should on links? Again, not sure if you intended for this. Just some
observations for next time. No Big Deal at all.

:-)

PS: Thanks for changing the "Time" format for us Americans.

Yes, this is correct (introduced in build 1320).

I also see this from time to time. Restarting the IDE should help (but it
will come back). Unfortunately, it cannot be fixed from within our source
code.

Hi Friedrich,

Was the "\n in variables in dialogs" problem fixed as part of this release?
Updated to 1501 but I still see "\n" rather than a new line?

All the best,

Simon.

Hi Simon,

Hmm, works fine here (see screenshot). I have this in my script:

Set Variable %TEST% to "test\nme"

Then I add the %TEST% variable to the DLG_WELCOME_TEXT text resotrce:

---

The wizard will install [PRODUCTNAME] on your computer.

It is strongly recommended that you exit all Windows programs before running
this Setup program.

Click Cancel to quit Setup and then close any programs you have running.
Click Next to continue with the Setup program.

%TEST%

Hi Friedrich,

I'm not adding the variable to a text resource. Rightly or wrongly <g>, I'm
using it direct as the instructions in the welcome dialog after:

Set Variable %TESTME% to "test\nme"

Couple of gifs attached...

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Create a new text resource and use the variable in that text resource.

Does this help?
