Compiler progress trouble flag

Unread post by Ed Hawco »

In H+M6, the Webhelp compiler progress bar would switch from green to red if it encountered a problem. This doesn't seem to happen in H+M7. As a result, I've missed a few compile problems when the absence of the red bar lead me to not examine the compiler message very closely.

It's not the most urgent thing ever, but I miss that red flag! Can you bring it back?

Hi Ed,

I'm not entirely sure on the status of this at the moment. I've set a request to our developers and I'll let you know what they say. :)

While "I'm not entirely sure" is the standard response string and still widely used, I have updated my files to "I haven't the faintest idea" for better integration into the most common reply contexts.

I hear you, but actually, it was accurate in this case: It's possible that it's a bug, but it's equally possible that a change in a component may have made it necessary to disable the color flag for some reason. I don't currently have any updates on whether this is known/intentional or as yet unknown. 8)

Update: This just didn't get included in the HM7 upgrade. It will be restored in the next update (7.1). 8)
