Cool! A hack!
I have been playing with TS 0.3, and wanted to report my successes
(or lack thereof). The "H" button consistently crashes me with
a big "Reset" dialog. This is before installing the hack, though.
Also, adding a field will always trigger a DmWriteCheck Failed error.
I assume that is because they are still being implemented.
Why am I talking about TS on the linkmaster list? Because I am lazy
and wanted to also ask some questions about LinkMaster.
I would like to do some work on LinkMaster, and make some proposed
patches. I just need to know if there will be a period of time
when you will not be changing it also.
The proposed changes are:
Implement a "Search Link" interface, where the user can select to
search when creating a new link. This will allow a link to any
app that supports the Find command. LinkMaster will convert the
resulting GoToParams into a suitable LinkInfoType, and pass it
back to the link-container with the LinkMaster creator ID as the
one that is called. Therefore, LinkMaster must also support being
launched with a linkAppLaunchCmdFollowLink, which will convert
the LinkInfoType back to the GoToParams, and launch the target
app. Clear as mud?
Also, I would like to incorporate the functionality of the
"LaunchMaster" app that I did a while back into LinkMaster.
Also, I would like to have LinkMaster support some optional
launch codes that tell it which screen to start on.
Let me know if there are any objections, or when a good time to
do this would be.
