I applaud the additional "minor" fixes to the word wrap of the General tab's notes and the calculation/display of Keymove/Macro memory remaining for which Greg did not formally take credit.

OOPS! I spoke (wrote) too soon! Embarassed

When opening an IR file in RMIR, the remaining memory display is accurate, but as soon as a keymove is edited, the remaining memory display "forgets" all of the keymoves embedded in the Device Upgrades.

Does 1.66 work for other people?

I can't switch to the functions or extended functions tab in any upgrade. There is no visible change when I try (stays on whatever tab it was on before). After trying, display updating is flakey for everything else.

The .err file tells me less than usual. The relevent section is:

At the very least it is working for Capn Trips and me.

Would you mind putting one of your rmdu files in the diagnosis area so I can try to reproduce?

It happens on every rmdu file I've tried and doesn't even need an rmdu file. Just start rm and press the functions tab.

I'm wondering if I missed some important registry change in installing it. Anything (relatively) new needed to start it?

Just noticed another thing:

1) Start RM.
2) Click Functions. Nothing happens.
3) Select Help/About
4) Move the about dialog around on the screen. The functions dialog gets painted (over the previous setup dialog) everywhere that the about dialog covers and uncovers, so ultimately I can paint the entire functions dialog, then close the about dialog and use functions.

Everything works for me too. I did notice the "import" button doesn't function in the device upgrade mode. The load and save work fine. It's probably redundant anyway with the load button.

I definitely haven't seen anything like that. I've even installed it on a couple of different PCs.

There haven't been any registry changes. The only thing I can think of is that ever since v1.60 RM requires Java 1.5 or later.

Are you installing from a .zip file or doing a CVS update and rebuilding?

RM's About dialog includes:

Java version1.5.0_06

I installed from the .zip file (I'm hoping to also do a CVS update and rebuild in a different directory, but haven't had time).

I'll try a different PC (maybe two) and see if that tells me anything.

I should have guessed yesterday what was wrong.

I tried another computer and no similar problem occurred. But I had some minor "look and feel" problems that reminded me of previous issues when the RemoteMaster.properties file left over from one version of RM confused another version. This time deleting RemoteMaster.properties changed the "look and feel" but didn't fix the problems. But those problems are too minor to worry about now.

On returning to the first computer, I moved RemoteMaster.properties away and restarted RM and it runs just fine.

I am a little confused by all the software detail, but I guess that's OK. I was under the impression that using the Java/web version of RM would automatically give me the latest version (auto update), but I see when opening it I get v1.63.
Do I have to download this to get the latest?

You have to download and install the latest manually. The Java Web Start was just a proof-of-concept to see how well it would work and get some reactions from users. It may become the delivery vehicle for RM at some point in the future.

I'm having problems after installing Java version 1.6.0-beta2. Open and Save as aren't working. This is from the rmaster.err when I chose Open:

Try deleting the LookAndFeel= line from your RemoteMaster.properties file.

If that fixes it, I'll be tempted to take out the ability to choose the Look and Feel.
