In a thread in the Lime Street section of the forum I posted a pic of the Simplifier and added underneath Quote: Note also that the bottom border of the Simplifier window has been dragged up to reduce its visual height without sacrificing any of the platforms it displays.. It seemed a good tip. However, in another post I noted Quote: Beside, the current Simplifier behaves illogically. If I set the time back to whenever, then click Refresh, the Time field immediately jumps back to the present, so I don't know for sure what the Simplifier table represents. and again in another post: Quote: I find than when I set an earlier time in the time field and press Refresh, this action also resets the time to present sim time instead of staying at the time I programmed into it, which should now match the table displayed in its main window. When opening the Simplifier for Royston, which only has two platforms, there was no need to compress it visually, and suddenly I discovered there was an Update checkbox I had not seen before. This is missing in my previously posted screen pics as its position, relative to the top LH corner of the Simplifier window, does not change as the window is resized, so may vanish. Here is the window partially resized, and as you see the checkbox is in the wrong location.  This would explain my difficulties and is something to keep in mind until the code can be improved. I haven't been able to duplicate simonr's issue, but wonder whether it might have a similar cause: Quote: I press F8, up pops the simplifier screen, on the right hand pane it says fill in search criteria and press Refresh. Filling in the search criteria is no problem, however there doesn't appear to be a Refresh button that I can see (added) On second thoughts, once one is aware of this glitch it's possible to work around this (if you really need to compress the Simplifier vertically to save space) by, say, unchecking Update, resizing the window then typing in whatever time you wish to display the Simplifier for, even the current sim time.

I'm slightly confused by the original post in this thread. " said: When opening the Simplifier for Royston, which only has two platforms, there was no need to compress it visuallyyet the only way I could replicate the screenshot above was by shrinking ("compress"ing) it. :huh: Any views and / or opinions expressed by myself are from me personally and do not represent those of any company I either work for or am a consultant for.
