Since I have opt’d out of any further commuincation directly with Xojo, and I obtained this survery from a 3rd part source… I thought I’d publicly post how I would have answered. If anyone else would like to post theirs, feel free :slight_smile: ##Annual Xojo Experience Survey - 2020## What k…

So far that it seems to NOT have a full regression test suite built to test it I’ve opened my clients apps in the latest versions and found some curious ones So I go back to 2019r1.1 or 2019r3.1 and use API 1 and the bugs arent there in the old versions

[image] Joseph: what’s the beef with API2.0 Mostly that it is more buggy than API1 and obsoletes years or even decades of build code libraries, frameworks, templates, scripts. In some cases it affects third-party products that you would not be able to recreate yourself (Bob’s FullTextControl …

dont forget the years of xDev articles, books, video training … etc the assumption was “oh the community will recreate all those” and eventually it might but we’re 20 years into API 1 so will it take another 20 years to get those things back ?

Imma frustrated that every new project defaults to API 2.0 and there’s no way to set that to API 1.0. I am so used to having confirmation that what I’m entering is correct, that it really slows down my ability to use Xojo (No I am not going to learn API 2.0 just to prototype an idea, or build a new …

It is clear the Xojo desperately needs a CEO that gives a damn

I still haven’t received a survey. Tim Dietrich hasn’t either. But Geoff did reply to my 4 day old post: https://forum.xojo.com/t/about-xojo-feedback-system/57746/9?u=hal_gumbert

[image] npalardy: but we’re 20 years into API 1 so will it take another 20 years to get those things back? The answer is this equation: (year of API 3) - (a few days) - 2020=(number of years for having converted almost all the community examples to API 2) :grin: :wink:

that would indicate the proper documentation for API2 would be available on the day that API2 was deprecated and API3 dropped… or… never

That seems like it could be a long way off

There sort of IS a way to override that

IDE Tips and tricks : 1 Xojo

There sort of IS a way to override the fact that new IDEs prefer to start new projects as API 2 only Make a new binary project that is named “Default Desktop Project” from 2019r1.1 and put that in the Project Templates dir next to the IDE That should do it for desktop And you can do similarly for others http://docs.xojo.com/UserGuide:Project_Types#Changing_Default_Projects
