The cardfiler.tmp file is used for temporary storage for the Cardfiler.
It is being created in SYS$SCRATCH on VMS, so you can redefine where
it is created. It should be deleted when you exit. If this isn't
happening, then please submit a QAR.

What does "sys$scratch" point to?
|
168.4 | SYS$SCRATCH = SYS$LOGIN | VIA::REILLY | Come see the violence inherent in the system! | Fri Feb 17 1989 14:20 | 13 |
| By default SYS$SCRATH points to SYS$LOGIN, but it can be redefined
by the user. You can see what it is currently defined to be by doing
the following at the DCL command prompt:
SHOW LOGICAL SYS$SCRATCH
You can redefine it by doing the following:
DEFINE SYS$SCRATCH Directory-specification

168.5 | What are the resource names? | DRIFT::WOOD | Laughter - the best medicine | Fri Feb 17 1989 16:15 | 17 |
| Can someone tell me what the resource names are for the Cardfiler? Specifically
those for the Card window.
I am trying to position both the cardfiler and card windows and have managed to
get the cardfiler window to work, but not the card window.
From the supplied defaults file, I found:
Cardfiler.y: 200
Cardfiler.x: 100
But need the corresponding ones for the card window.
Thanks,
John

168.6 | Not very mnemonic, but there | VIA::REILLY | Come see the violence inherent in the system! | Fri Feb 17 1989 16:30 | 10 |
| If you check the sys$library:decw$cardfiler.dat there is also
*cardmainwindow.width: 330
*cardmainwindow.height: 200
which can be changed. I just tried them out and they change the
size of the card window.
Paul
|
168.7 | I can change the size, not the location | DRIFT::WOOD | Laughter - the best medicine | Mon Feb 20 1989 10:12 | 9 |
| I am successfully using the width and height resources, but haven't been able
to change the x and y locations of where the card window appears.
Are there resources for these like there are for the cardfiler window?
Thanks,
John

168.8 | Cardfiler window slider doesn't pick up color
| DRIFT::WOOD | Laughter - the best medicine | Mon Feb 20 1989 13:26 | 12 |
| A minor nit:
I had turned on color in all of my sliders with the following line in my
DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT file:
*Slider: lightGrey
This colors the slider for all windows except the Cardfiler one (it works on
the Card window).

168.9 | Cardfiler crash | CADSYS::COOK | ALOE, ALOE | Fri Feb 24 1989 11:28 | 34 |
| I crash the cardfiler when I access most - but not all - of my cards. It worked
fine until this morning. If I changed anything, I don't know about it. Until now,
I had been using the cardfiler without problems.
It crashed as I clicked on a card. Clcking on the first card seems to be OK -
just the subsequent ones cause the crash. It happens when I invoke it from
DECW$LOGIN and from FileView. I just checked and the "Next" button on the first
card causes an identical crash.

168.10 | Cardfiler crash. Signature #2 | CADSYS::COOK | ALOE, ALOE | Fri Feb 24 1989 12:43 | 39 |
| I accessed the last card first this time and got a different signature. Unlike
the previous occasions when I had invoked the cardfiler from FileView, this time
there was no global selection. Otherwise, the only difference was the card I
selected.

168.11 | Some answers | VIA::FINNEGAN | All of the best intentions are less than one good act. | Fri Mar 10 1989 17:17 | 16 |
| Sorry,
I trying to catch up on this conference.
I explicitly place the card to the right of the index at creation
time. I am considering using the default x,y unless they are 0,0
in the next version.
The slider does not turn grey because it is not a standard slider,
I will forward this off to the developer but I don't expect much.
I would like to see the database that is causing the problem. Is
that possible??

168.12 | TAB key in Cardfiler | 22073::gabriel | Thank You Very Little | Wed May 17 1989 11:20 | 17 |
|
The following is from a customer...Any ways to change the
behavior of the TAB key ???
Contrary to the documentation, the TAB key seems to act as a "SELECT ALL" in the
cardfiler. This makes it VERY EASY to inadvertantly delete large amounts of
text, and is contrary to the use of this key in all other applications. It also
makes getting a decent text layout on a card difficult; I keep reaching for the
TAB key. Is there a way to change this ????
Thanks for any info...

168.13 | This was QARed | VIA::FINNEGAN | All of the best intentions are less than one good act. | Thu May 18 1989 19:59 | 6 |
| It is fixed in V2.0 of the cardfiler.

| Recently, I've been using the Cardfiler in interesting and appreciated
ways: cue cards for a demo (the customer loved it !!) and to maintain
bibliographies and abstracts on literature pertinent to my work. The
glitch is the print command(s) do not work consistently. Sometimes they
work; sometimes they don't. I can't figure out why. I keep getting the
following error:
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=01, virtual
address=62206666, PC=80000010, PSL=03C00000

Also, I am trying to figure out if there isn't someway to format the
contents of the card. I have tried the OPTIONS button when I'm lucky
enough to get the dialog box. But all the formatting options I have
tried so far are ignored. If a word hits the right margin, it is split
there.
Thank you in advance for your explanations or suggestions.

| I am just now going through the notesfile and this has not been QARed.
Unfortunately its now too late to fix this for VMS, if it had been QARed when
the note was enetered then I would have had time to look into it and maybe fix
either the cardfiler of the print widget for V2.0
The notesfile is NOT a substitue for QARs!
