Hi,

A bit late but i didn't find this reply in the digest.

Here are a couple of observations on the use of FlipsIDE

First test:
When using it for first time
   --> Rev menu bar shows  text + icons
   ==> After a couple of "flips" --> crash (2 times was minimal record)

   --> Then changing rev menubar to only show text
   ==> no crashes when just switching back and forth (stopped after 40 
times)
   ==> also no crashes anymore when reusing the icon + text menu bar and 
just switching back and forth

Next test:
   --> rev menubar only showing text
        + When on MC side open tools palette and control browser  every 
time

   ==> when switching back to rev
           - the icons are showing in the rect of the text size menubar
           - in the view menu the toolbar text and the toolbar icons are 
selected while the size of the toolbar is the size of the text toolbar

           !!! trying to switch to metacard again is "only" possible 
after reselecting revolution in the pulldown menu button of FlipsIDE
               Seems in relation to the closing of windows of the MC IDE 
"after" the reloading of rev

   ==>  after a couple of this "flips" --> crash again


Anyway this is a "very" nice project, thank you mr Gaskin.

Hope this is of any use.
Greetings,
WA


PS
For old times sake ( I like the beautiful simple ugliness of the MC 
home stack) I tried out a couple of changes  to show the MC home stack 
when flipping to MC as an obvious indication of MC-mode (the name in 
the menu bar is still indicating Revolution when flipped to MC). I did 
this by cloning the home stack and renaming it (home2), placing it in 
the RR folder and adapting a copy of the mctools stack for this 
changes. This solved most of the prefs problems at first sight (if not 
all, I didn't thoroughly test yet).
