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.
