Thanks Chris:
I am completely blown away with the power of Magma. I've used object
databases before but not one as transparent as this. It swallowed my whole
radio and spat it out again intact. Really there was only one line of active
code that saved the PasteUpMorph on which I built the radio. There is only
one tiny thing I can't figure. My connectors come back connected unless I
close the morph. Then the next load from the database they are disconnected.
Still in place but the ends floating. Do you know of any way to close the
morph without this happening? Also if I put in a window it restores without
the window. I think I understand this because the window is not the root
object. If I could get a reference to the window somehow and commit that I'm
sure it would work.
