Before asking questions, please check the Omegabundle FAQ. All participating vendors will be checking this forum occasionally and on their time schedules (We have participants from all over the world), so if you have a specific question about a specific product, then this is a good forum to ask it. Keep in mind that weekends vary a bit, and holidays are entirely different between countries.

Since this is also the home of all the Paradigma Software products, you should ask in the forums dedicated to those products.

Very nice and good timing (for me) :D

On Omegabundles 2017 site MBS ChartDirector is part of the bundle.
However, on the official note posted at Xojo's forum it's not part of the bundle.

So what is true and what is fake?

TIA,
Dennis

App Wrapper 3.8 for OS X, High Sierra DP ready & new App Diagnostics
Select "Updates" from the "App Wrapper" menu (you may need to click the refresh icon) or download from http://www.ohanaware.com/appwrapper/

What's new in App Wrapper version 3.8
The headline feature of this update is the new "Application Diagnostics" function, designed to check an application against 120 App Store rejection reasons, 70 potential code sign failures and critical issues, 37 possible improvements and when wrapping will auto fix 20 different kinds of issues. This function is based upon our PTE4 wrapping engine, which will debut in a future version of App Wrapper.

Other changes include:

  • Option to wrap Mac App Store apps to a different folder.
  • New identity selector, more informative and should reduce incorrect identity usage.
  • Now auto adds the Entitlements to the Resources folder (like Xcode).
  • App Wrapper is now built with the latest version of Xojo.
  • New Tools menu.
  • Selecting "Updates" from the "App Wrapper" menu, now forces it to check for updates, rather than showing already downloaded information.
  • No longer generates errors in App Wrapper when wrapping a "BitRock Installer".
  • Some slight visual improvements.
  • Some tweaks to ORCA.
  • Visual adjustments to the "Help Checker".
  • Right Click, Remove in the DMG signer, can now remove all selected rows.
  • Removed all the legacy code that was preventing App Wrapper from being built in the most recent version of Xojo.
  • Fixed a bug with ORCA's error reporting.
  • Fixed a typo NSPricipalClass instead of NSPrincpleClass.

Note: App Wrapper currently doesn't decompile or compare actual code; so code related issues cannot be checked.

Retina Kit from Ohanaware
Retina Kit is the most popular add-on for making Xojo applications retina ready and enhancing the interface of macOS applications. Ohanaware's Retina Kit is one of the most popular add-ons for Retinaizing Xojo made applications, and for good reason. The Retina Kit uses the exact same functions as applications created with Apple's Objective-C & Swift languages. When using these functions, OS X will handle many of the tasks for you.

Now the Retina Kit is a corner stone for building modern and compelling interfaces with the inclusion of the InterfaceKit module, that allows greater customization of the interface.

FlexGrid for iOS - Bonus from Jeremie LeRoy
FlexGrid is scrollable and flexible layout used to automatically organize child ContainerControls depending on available width and height.

FlexGrid offers a simple but very efficient way to organize and display several ContainerControls in a scrollable view. It was initially designed to mimic Flexbox item available in Web development through CSS and HTML elements. Using the Resizing event, it is possible to display / hide some child containers depending on the size of the FlexGrid. This technique is known as Responsive Design.

This bonus item is for working with Xojo and iOS and included with Omegabundle for Xojo 2017.

ebook LDAP 101 for Xojo by Norman Palardy
You’ve probably heard the acronym LDAP before and maybe even gone so far as to learn it means ‘Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.’ That’s all well and good but, what exactly does this mean? Better yet, what can you do with one? Microsoft’s Active Directory is an LDAP server. So is Apple’s Open Directory, Apple’s name for OS X Server’s directory server.

A product of xDev Library and also included with Omegabundle for Xojo 2017.

Data Transfer Wizard of Valentina Studio Pro
Copy records between two different databases. This feature is different from simply importing data. Use Data Transfer to choose one database as a Source. Then choose another database to be the target database. You can then specify mapping of source/target tables and fields and load records from db1 to db2.

The Data Transfer allows to import data from one database to another. Even if these database belongs to the different engines. For example you can use Data Transfer to import data from SQLite to Valentina, from MySQL to Valentina, from MySQL to SQLite and so on. And of course, you can import data between databases of the same engines (from Valentina Local to Valentina Server, from SQLite Server to SQLite local and so on).

This feature is only available in Valentina Studio Pro, included with Omegabundle for Xojo.
