anyway... good discussion...

agreed, width and height should be independent based simply on # of rows and column width selected by user... then it can always be adjusted by user to suit their idea of Valhalla....

I can run an isolated environment or test it out on the whole family. As long as ample wine is applied, the WAF stays manageable. But given how long this thread is now, I may be a little late to the party. Will PM you my email anyways.

Has the Gemstone forum been opened yet? because I can't get in it. It says I don't have permission.

Not yet... it will be public soon once Opus has some time.

Not yet, Opus said it would take a few days for him to get time to do it.

I just sent you a PM. I'd like to give it a try too.

[jusjoken]

Please keep all further Gemstone discussions over on the new Gemstone Forum.

Thanks

I received your PM without an email address... I cannot respond by PM as it indicates you have too many PM in your mailbox!

Thanks for the work guys! Sadly, I can't test, but just FYI (not that I need to tell the pro's about this): You can just copy your current Diamond Install Sage folder to a safe place, and then install Gemstone and test. Before the wife and kids get home, re-replace with the 'working' Diamond folder for the night.

What I did was copy the wiz.bin to a new directory C:\SageTvWixbin then copied the wiz.bin and wiz.bak to that directory. I then stoped the sagetv service and edited the sage property file to show that the the wiz.bin and wiz.bak are in that directory. Then I copied the sagetv directory over so I had a copy of the original directory before I installed gem stone. This way I can stop the service and rename the directory as needed to switch between the original and the gemstone and have the wiz.bin file up to date. I used it over the weekend because I was gone and didn't want the wife calling about problems with the sagetv.

Actually for those testing you can just disable the Gemstone plugin and Install the new Diamond Legacy plugin that you will have listed. Then to switch...

- currently using Diamond Legacy
- just Enable Gemstone - it will disable Diamond Legacy

- currently using Gemstone
- Disable Gemstone and Enable Diamond Legacy

That's it.
