Set New Display to Yes still active
I notice Set New Display is still a valid command, does it do anything in RC-2? Is the default now the new display in RC-2?

I was going to ask about this too. And if it is the default (as I hope), then what happens if users turn on the old display accidentally?

It's still available (as a safety mechanism) in case some books crash with the new display and you need to turn it off to view them.

The program will run more slowly. [:)]

I guess my point was that there is no indicator telling them which mode it's currently in. (Is there?) They will just see slowness and blame it on L5 in general.

Bradley stated - in http://community.logos.com/forums/t/57422.aspx - that "in the next RC" the new display would be set by default. I assume this applies to what people will download as they buy the upgrade.

There is no indicator. There is also no documentation of this command, so no one should ever run it.
Please, please, do not ever recommend it as a "try this; it might fix your problem" solution. The only person who should ever instruct any customer to run that command is me. [:)]

It was turned on by default for all users (even alpha testers who had run "set new display to no") in 5.0 SR-1. Since no one should ever be running the "set new display to no" command [:)] it should always be on all the time for everyone.

I would never do so. The command is visible in the dropdown list if one types "set n" in the command bar, so I don't find it inconceivable that someone might accidentally find it and run it.

Glad you told us that Bradley.
That command will be locked in my vault along with the coordinates of Amelia Earhart's crash site and the info regarding who really killed Kennedy. [;)]

Thanks. (Sorry if you felt I was speaking to you specifically; I wasn't. I've just noticed that in a sincere effort to help other users, sometimes people offer technically inappropriate advice, perhaps thinking that it can't hurt, and might help. In this case, it can actually hurt.)

Oooh, great catch--thanks! I was not aware that such a small prefix was necessary to trigger this command.
We'll try to fix that (or possibly remove it as a command and use a registry-based approach to turn it off instead).

I would say just get rid of the command now, it has served its purpose. Registry is always there if Logos tech support/Bradley wants to suggest that.
