|
While testing all the new map/image files with RemoteMaster (RM), I've discovered that it does not appear to support having comments in the map files.
Here's a sample error message from 'rmaster.err' (RM v1.98-beta4):

The "Map THIS!" application that is used to create these map files provides a field called "Internal comment about this area:" for every shape being defined. "Map THIS!" essentially creates a map file that looks like this (example from the 'Dreambox-V1.map' file, which generate the error shown above), with a '#'-style comment immediately above the line being commented:

This optional entry is very useful to help explain various things (history, problems, etc) with the buttons being defined. Since it's a built-in part of the "Map THIS!" application, I think RM should support this feature too.
In a pinch, I could remove the comments from the map files (3 currently), but I'd rather not, since they help document the oddities quite nicely and, more importantly, in the most natural place to have them documented.
Any chance of getting these comments supported in the next version of RM?
