after further delving into the capi manual and its examples I found
(LW Personal - Mac OS X 10.3.2 iMac):
9.2.4 Prompting for files
(capi:prompt-for-file "Enter a file:")
(capi:prompt-for-file
"Enter a filename:"
:pathname "/Users/jdabel/Documents/LispWorks Personal/")
both are not reacting when "Show files: lisp Source files..." I try
to select a lisp file, only when using "Show files: All Files (*.*) I
can select one.
What I see (Mac OS X 10.2.8) is that a filter does not work initially
if it specifies multiple patterns (that is, contains a semi-colon).
However, selecting another filter in the dialog's "Show files:" panel,
and then selecting "Lisp Source Files (*.lisp;*.lsp)" shows the lisp
files correctly. so it's just the initial state that is broken. This
is a bug in LispWorks for Macintosh which we will fix for a future
release. Thank you for reporting it.
and:
5.5.2 Tab - layouts
Only two of the three tabs are refreshed when clicking - one is missing
Not quite sure what you mean here. Following the examples in the CAPI
User Guide 5.5.2, I see firstly a tab-layout with three coloured
panes, which works. The second example example displays a tab-layout
with 5 graphs, and this works correctly too. If the problem is
repeatable for you, please could you describe it with some more
detail?
Wish catalog:
Enlarge the min-size of the interface window (one can overlook it, it
is too small). The size should be so large to show all three left
controls of the window).
I see what you mean although in real life one never instantiates
CAPI:INTERFACE - you work with your own subclasses which will appear
larger because they actually contain some windows. These classes could
also specify their own geometry hints.

How do I have to arrange structures similiar to this:
(sql:def-view-class person (qss.db:unique-id-mixin)
((name :accessor name :type (string #.+name-max+) :initarg :name)
(e-mail :accessor e-mail :column e_mail :type (string #.+e-mail-max+) :initarg :e-mail)))
(sql:def-view-class contacts (person)
((entry-date :accessor entry-date :type integer :column entry_date :initarg :entry-date)
(info :accessor info :type integer :initarg :info :initform 0)
(id :type integer
:column id
:accessor id)
(person :db-kind :join
:db-info (:join-class person
:retrieval :deferred
:set nil
:home-key id
:foreign-key id)
:accessor person)))
The idea is of course a sort of Objekt hierachy. What I want in the
end is that the person part is stored into the table Person, and the
extensions elswhere.
Of course I would like to access either a persons name or a contacts
name with (name obj), and the base idea is to be able to work with
objects, which happens to have the nice extra feature of making
themselves persistant.
