Hello group Great job Ken and others for all your work on this initiative and other Rev community development efforts you take part in. I read over the...
... Actually it's a lot harder than you might think for this to happen. I ran several tests where I added custom properties and scripts to a group, ungrouped...
Hmm, I can't seem to make the group props disappear right now either, but have seen it happen in the past! I may be mistaken, because as you say, if you...
... Do the properties survive closing the stack and quitting? It is sort of amazing that the object (group) does not exist but the properties stick around...
... I tested - they survive saving a stack, but do not survive closing and quitting. Still... pretty cool, though! Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Web site:...
Hi I tried a few things too and one observation is that the "next" group to be created, "after" ungrouping an existing group, gets the original groups' props...

... Sorry, Dick, but I know you mentioned that in your revision of the spec as "Produce libSTS_ECMI or lib4W_ECMI for a developer to maintain the uECMI data in...
