Not a typo, but a glitch nonetheless. Spot the difference:

Also the tour page can [and should] have it's own tab here: http://www.xyplorer.com/support.htm . Right now this has no tab (like highlights) and opens as a sibling tab of products/featurelist.

It's on purpose: I half-buried those pages because they have so many old screenshots. :whistle:

A major site relaunch is in the making...

::help 'idh_scripting_comref.htm#idh_sc_confirm';

"Pops message box with OK/Cancel, returns result." -- is no longer true. Perhaps: "Pops message box with specified buttons, returns an integer identifying pressed button."

"return 1 on OK, 0 on Cancel; exceptions see Buttons above." -- is redundant now. Perhaps just: "return See Buttons above."

Also: ~ "Default button index of initially focused button, counting from left/1: [Default] First button/2: Second button, and so on."

return

Used only in a Custom Column script: Defines the cell data and ends the script.

Syntax

return data

data Data to show in the cell.

Example

Displays the first 12 characters of the content (!) of each file:
return readfile(<cc_item> , , 12);
Should be reworded to include it's use case in functions.

It would be nice if help's index included "tab sets" as an alternative keyword for "tabsets".

Syntax

savethumb(file="<curitem>, thumbnail_file="*_thumb", widthbox, heightbox, format="jpg", border_width)
Shouldn't each param be enclosed in square brackets because they're all optional?

file="<curitem> is missing the closing quotation mark.

I also have problems understanding where width and height come into the picture, not physically but syntax-wise, the help manual says they're "variables of the thumbnail_file argument". However, so are widthbox and heightbox and yet they are listed in the overall scheme of things *headscratch* :?

Like this:

Code: Select all

savethumb(, "*-<width>x<height>", 400, 400, "jpg");
