I followed the link labled 'Download latest version of Do-more Designer' and it has Version 1.2.1 right at the top. It downloaded fine.

Hit F5 to "refresh" the page.  Probably that page was "cached" on your PC.  F5 forces a refresh.

Was just over at the ADC website and saw the new Terminator Do-More's.   Congratulations! And thanks too for the non-terminator-related features in DMD  v1.2!

We expect to have another maintenance release in 2 or 3 weeks that adds one more feature we wanted to put in 1.2. We didn't quite get finished and the T1H-DM1/E launch forced us to release without it. I think some of you guys that have been using ADC products for a while will like the new feature...but I ain't tellin' what it is. :tease:

Umm, I feel kind of bad even asking... but.... Are there any plans to add String Structures to the .csv Import/Export function?

Thanks again for all the hard work you guys put into this. It is truly a pleasure to work with Domore. :)

Good gracious, man...are you ever satisfied?!? ;)

When we added the feature, we did so on the cheap and on the fly. Not supporting strings was part of a compromise to sneak the feature in when we really weren't intending to add features. However...

...since we decided to add yet another feature in 1.2.2, I have nicely asked the guys responsible for the first version of the feature, and they have graciously agreed to add string support...if it doesn't end up too sticky. Meaning...since strings can contain non-printable characters, the text based import/export needs to make some assumptions on how to handle that. The answer is to use the standard string literal format that STRPRINT uses. Non-printable characters will get expanded into "$NN" sequences, and if you use "$" in the string, it will export (and import) as "$$".

So...ask and it shall be given. ;)
