Order Templates

[ada]

Hello,

I am wondering if there is a way to reorder the template tabs in XMetaL 9.0. If you look at the screenshot attached you can see the templates are ordered what seems to be randomly. Is it possible to reorder them say alphabetically or in the order of our choosing?

Thanks,
Ahmed

There are no options you can set to change this behaviour.

The first tab is always the “General” tab (it is treated specially). Then all other tabs should be listed alphabetically based on the tab name (which is derived from the folder name inside the Template folder in the installation). The names inside each tab (derived from the file names inside each folder) should also be ordered alphabetically as well. This is all automatic and based on standard Windows calls (we ask Windows for the list and display it).

It looks like you have run into an unreported bug (unreported until now). At this point I'm not sure how to reproduce this, or what is unique to your installation or environment that would cause this odd behaviour.
