Hello,
"that no columns be
displayed by default, and that the all columns and their widths be
specified programmatically and/or in a settings page."
Since there are 46 build in stats, implementing
your idea means 46 new checkboxes
and 46 edit fields (to define widths)
That's 92 new controls (to be placed on dialogs,
docs and so on).
More settings -> more problems for beginners
-> Lower sales. Plus more support
(every beginner asking "where is K-ratio", and
"why there are no metrics produced?"
and "why there are so few metrics?")
From my perspective it would not be improvement.
Just the opposite.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

Yes, at this point it seems to be easier to live
with all the extra columns than to learn how OLE works.
I believe, long ago, before the suggestion page
was implemented on AB site, that I suggested to TJ that no columns be
displayed by default, and that the all columns and their widths be
specified programmatically and/or in a settings page. Obviously
the suggestion was not implemented. IMHO, it would be a
significant improvement over the present system.
I did get your previous response. But I
understand your concern. I had to post my request three times
before it finally went through. My two others were on 1/14,
1:04am and 1/16, 1:39am. Just recently these were finally
delivered. Yahoogroups can be unbelievably slow at
times.

Reposting:
Keith - did not get around to implementing any
OLE. Living with the
extra columns for now. But if I do write any code
for it, will post it
here in the future.
