Frontier 5.0a1 Release Notes

Beginner and Expert Mode verbs

To find out if Frontier is in expert mode, call frontier.inExpertMode.

To set the mode, call frontier.setExpertMode ("on"). To set beginner mode, call frontier.setExpertMode ("off").

System.misc.toggleExpertMode now calls the above two verbs. Shutdown.shutdownScript also calls frontier.inExpertMode before deciding to automatically save the root.

File.getPathChar

Returns the path separator for the current operating systems.

For Windows it's a backslash, for Macs it's a colon.

Table menu Get Info command

Now works correctly, showing the time and date of creation and modification.

User.infoDialog

Fixed. Now is: card.run (@system.misc.cards.userInfoDialog).
