Differences between Windows and Linux versions
Although every effort has been made to make StoryLines work
the same way on both Windows and Linux, some small differences
are inevitable.
- Screenshots illustrate the Windows version; the Linux
windows and dialogs will be slightly different, but with equivalent
functionality.
- Dialogs under Windows often have a '?' button on the title
bar, for context-sensitive help. Under Linux, this button is
on the dialog itself, usually near the OK or Close button.
- Content highlighting currently only works on Windows. This does not
affect the ability of StoryLines to format text correctly
in reports and exported projects; it just means you see the text
as only one colour and font in the Content Editor. We expect
to rectify this in future releases.
- Under Linux, online help invoked from the Help button
in modal dialogs is itself modal. That is, you have to quit
the help window to return to the dialog. On Windows, you can
switch back to the dialog without quitting the help viewer.
- The Aiksaurus thesaurus is not installed with the Linux
version of StoryLines, because its installation requirements
are more complex than under Windows. However, you can download
Aiksaurus separately from http://www.aiksaurus.com.
- Linux users don't currently have the ability to use the
Mail Wizard, though of course you can export a report to a file
and mail it using your favoured mail client.
