I hope you have your own office. :o)

I use nedit for editing with the syntax highlighting on and, if the file is a biggie (or
if I have a large number of windows/applications open/running), it takes a second or two
for the colours to be applied. Maybe it's a similar thing.

Well, now, here is some good news from someone who
obviously knows what is going on. Thanks. :-)

Now, can you tell us how color works on the Mac G4?
Pavel and I have gotten each other totally confused
trying to answer a private e-mail question from a
lurker. :-(

What I have noticed is that on a 32-bit display, it
seems almost impossible to flip back and forth between
Device, Decomposed=0 and Device, Decomposed=1. What is
the best way to be able to display either a 24-bit or
an 8-bit image? It seems to me the color table vectors
have to be re-loaded every time you set Decomposed=0.
Is this what you recommend?

Cheers,

David

Hey Pavel,

I have to confess guilt for this new behavior. What it is doing is syntax
coloring (or chromacoding) the file as well as calculating initial line
widths. Once you save the file, this info will be stored in the resource
fork and you will no longer encounter the delay. This is actually meant as
a performance tweak... no really :)

BTW David, this is on the Macintosh which in 5.4 has a reworked editor
(among other things)

What platform did you say this was on? :-)
