Not the slightest. I respect your opinion about being able to select your preferred colors. Much like david, you've both requested that ability. So i made it happen
Perry, Your one of the good guys my friend. You're a talented builder and I respect that. Just trying to have a good time with a fellow builder. Sorry if it came across harsh.
OK, so a question. Are we good to go? able to download,install, and use? Has that connection issue from that last release been addressed? it was one where I could not open ARC unless I connected to the internet first. Then, once opened, had to disconnect from the internet to reconnect to the EZB. Then all was fine after that. Obviously, Opening the builder without the internet is the preferred as it was with past releases.
This one (2019.12.09.01) shows stable on the download page. However just under it there is a ver 2019.12.09.02 that looks like it's still considered Bata. I'd say yes, 2019.12.09.01 is good to go.
I'm able to open ARC just fine if disconnected from the internet.
I've never heard any preferences on if it's better to be connected or not when opening ARC. I can't think of any reason why you would need to be concerned. I've always been connected when I start up ARC. Am I missing something?
@Dave Thanks for the update. Yes, for some reason. with the last big update, I found out I could only open the ARC if the pc (my Win 10 tablet) was first coneected to the internet. I have never had this happen before with any of the pervious updates ever. After the builde loads, I then disconnect from the internet and connect to the EZB and everything works fine. If i close the builder, I have to again reconnect to the internet to run the builder yet again. Its very annoying of course, And yes Im in the default AP mode when this all happens.
i notest the ARC has no anthena in connections to look for your ezbv4?
It's a dark icon with your theme
ah amazing its hidden.you see the mouse arrow change in hand .cool
thank you
