Sure-fire method for turning off a breakpoint?

I have a breakpoint in html.buildObject that I can't get Frontier to let go of.

Still waiting for a fix for cmd-2clicking on odb addresses

If I have an address enclosed in curly braces, cmd-2click doesn't work. An example: {userland.archivepage (@user.userland.archives)}.

Awkwardness in the outliner...

Here's the problem -- under some circumstances (usually involving a horiz scroll?) I'm trying to select some text, all indications are that's what I'm doing, but instead an outline reorg happens. Muchos burned braincells.

In text mode, enter a new headline, start typing, while in text mode press cmd-L. Horiz visi'ing doesn't happen.

When I press Enter the visi'ing happens. It's gotta happen while I'm typing.

Can't evaluate the expression because the name "localoutline" hasn't been defined.

This has cropped up again when building user.websites.Gimme5.outline from a script. It dies on the target.set (adroutline) in suites.html.runOutlineDirectives. The source for this site is available on the Gimme5 site. This bug has been a constant PITA for more than a year. It would be great to get it out.

What is system.compiler.UserLand?

It looks like the preferences tree for Clay Basket. What's it doing in my root?

Take Picture out of the New sub-menu

The data type, PICT, is Mac-only and no longer much of a standard. If Apple ported QuickDraw to Windows this could change. It's a vector-graphic format. The web needs one of these. But it's a long shot. So take it out. The File menu should be identical on Windows and Mac.

If I have a window named Test open and choose save-as-runnable...

Instead of Untitled, suggest Test.run

Another longstanding problem is Frontier crashing when running on a server and loading text into the odb.

This has been a deal-stopper for lots of applications. Brent knows how to create this failure situation. We should get a test server up on the lan here.

Icons based on file type?

In a message on Frontier-work I asked Doug to look into this. I know this will be complicated, but it's important and straightforward. Five file types, with new associated 2click handlers: FTsc, FTwp, FTop, FTmb, FTtb. Set the file type in the fatpages suite. The icons have to be in the resource fork of the Frontier app.

Brent: making the Upgrader installer work more efficiently

Use the date on the file, compare it against the mod date of the odb object it replaces. If the dates are equal you can skip the installation. When you load an object, set the mod date of the object to equal the mod date of the file.
