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

Ozzy --
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.
