    Nested Lists

    Is this (nested lists/lists in multipowers/multipowers in lists) a feature that will be added to the 2.x version(s) or I'll have to wait till 3.x?

    --- bye

    Re: Nested Lists

    I sincerely doubt that they will be happening at all (regardless of version).

    Re: Nested Lists

    Can I ask why? Is it because of retro-compatibility? (looking at the hdc (xml) files produced by HD I've seen that lists are seen as standard elements, and not as containers. Is this the problem?)

    A number of reasons, generally involving performance, formatting and the like.

    Re: Nested Lists

    I did discover by accident that a compound power can contain another compound power. Is this OK and supported, or should we avoid it?

    How did you manage that?

    You should <i>definitely</i> not do that.

    Once you let me know how you did it, I'll make sure that the method is disabled in the next update.

    Re: Nested Lists

    You can copy one compound power into another using copy and paste.

    Yeah, that'll happen.

    Yeah, I found that "feature" during RC3:

    Just to confirm, yes, that's what I did.
