List Magic

[George C Brackett]

Perhaps we should take this offline?  In any case, I repeated the  
problem on MY stack twice, once with GLX2's beta property inspector  
and once with the standard one.  I'm using Rev 3.0.0 build 750.  I  
made absolutely the minimum operations necessary to perform the test,  
starting with a freshly-loaded stack (not empty, and fairly  
complicated) and a freshly-started Rev IDE.  I didn't launch the  
ListMagic plugin at all.  There are two ListMagic widgets on the card  
in question.  The first one shown at openCard has the default tooltip  
(I never got around to changing it) and the second one shown after a  
button press displays the problem.

I've just tested this and the tooltip and custom properties remained  
as I
had changed them after saving the stack. I also tested putting more  
than one
widget on a card and changing the tooltip custom property differently  
for
each widget. These also remained as I had changed them after saving and
re-launching the stack.

Is it possible that you accidently hit the Modify button in ListMagic
itself? The custom properties do get restored, in this case, even if you
don't make any actual "changes" to the ListMagic widget(s) being  
Modified.
This will also happen to all widgets on all cards of all stacks and
substacks in a project, if you upgrade the project from one version of
ListMagic to another. These are all "features." ;-)

To permanently change the header tooltip for all ListMagic widgets  
created
in the future or modified in the future, you can:

- First make a backup copy of your ListMagic itself and project. ;-)
- Using the Application Browser, go to the Action tab of ListMagic.
- Alter the custom properties for the LMGerericHeader group. This is the
template used to create new headers.

Just setting the visible property, to the best of my knowledge, does not
change custom properties of an object. Which version of Rev are you  
using?
Also are you using Rev's Property Inspector or GLX2's beta one?
