1) I had 0.7.1 running with 1.4 the other day. I'll have to include some additional instructions since 1.4 requires mega memory to run anything.
2) As for the bank not showing up. You can try a couple of things. First, open the xml with internet explorer and see if it parses the file correctly (to rule out syntax errors). Next you can check the DOS window of SIDL Fiddle for any error messages. Thirdly, wait until the end of the week and try it when I release 0.7.1. Lastly, if nothing else helps you can email me the xml file and I'll try to figure out what it's doing.

I seem to be having the same problem that a few others have in opening the program. I double click the .bat file, and the dialog box displays asking me to point to the Everquest directory. I select E: (cause that's where it is!) and click the OK button (I do not double click E and I get a dialog box appear that tells me "This directory isn't the EQ home directory. Want to try again?" when I click yes, it pops the original box up, that gives me the option to select A:, C:, D:, E:, F:, but nothing else. If I click cancel, I get this error message:
E:\program files\fiddle>java -jar fiddle.jar
Properties not found. Creating new file.

Any help here? This is the same with Fiddle 063, and 064. I'm running Java 1.3 (from the link on your website). Computer is an Athlon 2200+, 512DDR, ATi Radeon 9700PRO, on an Asus A7V8X M/B with WIN XP Pro.
Thanks in advance!

Unless everquest is installed at the root of your E: drive then that is the wrong location. You may need to double click to get the directory or drive to expand. I'll try to fix that up a bit before I put 0.7.1 out tomorrow.
Thanks for the info.

I'll get some documentation someday...
Do these steps to open a file:
1. You need to select the file you wish to open.
2. Select the screen in the elements box (screens are bold in the list).
3. Click open screen.
If you do not have a screen selected the action will do nothing; unfortunately that includes not providing any feedback.
Hope this helps.

Hmm, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I load a screen, it does not actually show the graphics for the window as they should appear, if at all. When I load my group window, it shows the background and border, and all the lables, but it doesn't show any of the gauge graphics. If I click where a gauge should be, it makes a white box the size of the piece, but doesn't ever actually show the graphic...
I would love to be able to replace SidlWidle because the developer has abandoned it. Unless SIDLFiddle can display the window close to what it looks like in game, while I'm editing it, it is of little interest to me...

I have the latest Java (1.4.1_01 and have tried several versions of Java including the one on the your website) and 0.7.1 of Fiddle and I still get the Out of memory error.
Any ideas? I'd really like to actually use this program.

Eureka!!! It works!
Don't forget to put the library files in the same directory you have run.bat, it took me a bit to figure that out . also, when I go into the actual program and open a file, nothing shows up in the WYSIWYG part... thingy. Any insight?

Yep did that.
Still out of memory. I really dislike java. But I really want to use this program! Maybe it's just me but it's always something with that language that goes wrong. I guess I have bad java luck. hehe

Dislike Java
I would never code in anything else again!
Ok, 1.4 is still problematic. Make sure you have the extended jvm parameters setup (see the download page). If that doesn't work it may be something with memory limitations on your machine. I got it running with 1.4 on winnt with 512mb of mem.
As another note. There is a switch you can add when running the program to debug...I haven't said much about it because it slows things down, but if you run Sidl Fiddle with the following:
java -jar fiddle.jar -debug
it will print out LOTS of info on what its doing. You might want to try that to see where it explodes.
Also, let me know what ui's you are using and I'll try to duplicate the error as well.
Thanks.

0.7.2 Released
This version adds the following: - Multiple selections can now be dragged as a group.
- Added status message to open/close indicating when these actions are invalid.
- Right-click rubberbanding enabled to select multiple objects at once.
- Flush graphics menu item to clear the loaded images. Any open screens will be unchanged
I noticed that after about two hours I got an out of memory error. Obviously, I still have a memory leak somewhere.

Well I semi got it working.
I used the java -Xms32m -Xmx512m -jar fiddle.jar you suggest on the webpage and it will now load or I should say attempt to load gius. As it parses the entire directory it finally get to the feedback window and just sits there. I thought at first it was taking a moment and waited.
I even got up and left the computer and made a sandwich.
Came back.
Still trying to load the feedback window.
It was the default directory no less.
Oh well.
Unless anyone has any other ideas I give up for now. I'll wait a few versions and try again.
Thanks Ambros for all your hard work and the suggestions you made. I'm sure it's a awesome piece of software.

I'm not sure what you mean by feedback window. When you select a file you should see it parsing (status bar at bottom). When that finishes the elements window should populate with the files elements. At that point you must select a screen to open.
Can you tell me if the elements are loading in the listbox?
