Windows behaving differently

[Das Goravani]

Got an answer to the custom attribute problem.. I simply gave up using $destruct as a place to put code, because it’s called when they do a upper right corner close box situation and yet basic code stops working then if called from there.. so I use on eVClose under $event inside the window for which changes are being saved.. this works

I do different code for Windows as compared to Mac as for me I found that the newer way of doing PDF that Omnis introduced that is supposedly cross platform, I could never get it to work on the Mac but I had a working method on the Mac that worked fine, so I stuck with it, it’s just one generation back say.. it’s good.. but it’s Mac, so for Windows I use that newer method and it works… for me.. on Windows 10 VM

Because it seems my Windows users cannot use that feature of my software.. it always gives an error… saying for one thing that my font doesn’t have a Unicode C Map in it.. but it DOES have one..

I’m calling an object’s method.. and it says unrecognized custom attribute.. but I have the standard two parameters there and that’s all and this line of code runs at all other times just fine only when quitting through them clicking the close box instead of using my menu.. to EXIT as windows calls it.. only when using those system provided ways of quitting Omnis does it BALK on my command.. it otherwise runs and it is often called.
