WATCH OUT – the RT Systems software for Mac is just barely usable (IMHO).
1) Numerical sort is alphabetical rather than numerical
If you have a large table and sort it by frequency, then sort it by number again, the order is wrecked (1, 10, 101, …). Obviously the numerical sort is alphabetical rather than numerical, which should be easy to fix.
2) Printing won’t save to file
I wanted to export my repeater list and used the app’s print dialog; it’s pretty broken. There’s no way to do any fine-grained formatting (e.g., selecting which columns to print, or changing the font size). If you select “print to file” it prompts for a file in the internal folder of the app’s Java libraries, and then ignores that and sends to the printer.
3) (missing feature rather than a bug) No search capability in table
In an editor such as this, it would be very useful to have a search feature, e.g., to find what other rows represent the same repeater.
4) No pop-up help when hovering on GUI buttons
The GUI buttons have no interactive help when you hover over them with the mouse. Every GUI programming framework supports adding this.
5) USB port hangs
If you unplug the programming cable and later plug it into a different USB port (e.g., on a multi-port USB hub), the app says there’s no cable. (This one took me a while to trouble-shoot.)
6) the files are not associated with the app
DOuble-clicking on the data files doesn’t open the app
7) The app forgets the data folder
If you open a file and then save it, the app always tries to save in its preferred folder rather than yours.
…just my initial impressions
