Major bug in Dolphin 6.0 released View Browser ?

The Brave Sir Robin
Bought and downloaded 6.0 tonight and during my first play with it
I've found a problem which occurs on both of my PCs.

Just open the base image and double click on the 'View Browser' icon
from the control window. This brings up the view browser window which
unfortunately just displays a flickering 'View Name' title bar which
moves up and down madly. Nothing else is displayed in the window. It
starts Dolphin eating up 100% CPU

You can select menu items e.g. View..Browse Classes. and you can
maximize the window.

If you maximize it the View Name title bar stops flickering but the
arrange icons toolbar item at the far side flickers instead.

If you drag another window in front of the View Browser it attempts to
draw the resource icons and all the panels but fails to do so
properly.

Basically this window is rather screwed up :(.

Hopefully a fix will arrive very soon.

Regards

The Brave Sir Robin.

It works perfectly for me.

Package Browser is also borked in a similar way :(

The faults with these windows also exhibit themselves when they are
opened in the idea space only not quite so bad, they go straight to
the icon flickering, more useable but still drives the CPU at full
tilt.

Sorry, this has been caused by the omission of a manifest file. You can
download it from:

http://object-arts.com/lib/update/Dolphin/6.0/Professional/Dolphin.exe.manifest

The file needs to be saved into the Dolphin installation directory (i.e.
C:\Program Files\Object Arts\Dolphin Smalltalk 6.0). Another effect of this
file being missing is that the icons in the system folder and toolbars will
be surrounded by black shadows and look very poor.

Users on the beta programme should not experience this problem, as they will
have the file from a previous installation.

We'll sort out a live update for this tomorrow and/or get the download fixed
ASAP.

Regards

Blair

I have the same problem :( It doesn't happen in all windows (i.e. not
when opening a new workspace or in the system browser), but it happens
in the Package Browser and the View Browser.

Regarding the Package Browser, I found when I click on a menu item, the
window content becomes visible, but the rightmost icon in the toolbar
still flickers. Also if I then click on an item in the package tree, the
item just disappears.

Regards,
Bernhard

Folks,

I have uploaded a new installer (2005.6.0.5.1) that fixes this problem.
You can get this from your My Dolphin page.

If you don't want to download the whole thing again for the sake of a
single file you can take a copy of Dolphin.exe.manifest from \Program
Files\Common Files\Object Arts and copy it to: \Program Files\Object
Arts\Dolphin Smalltalk 6.0.

Best regards,

It's updated during transfer, obviously. I saw the latter, too, but got
the former :-)
