    Indicators much start with capital letter

    I copied a "CS" file into the indicators folder of NT8 under BETA5, and it didn't show in the Editor. The first letter needs to be a capital for it to show. I happen to save a sample "buttons.cs" which is what illustrated the problem. This might happen in other directories but I didn't have time to test.

    I think I remember this reported, but wanted to make sure it was stated it is still and issue with BETA5.

    timetest was original.

    timetest33.cs was "saved as" into the folder with textpad.
    Timetest33_upper was "saved as" into the folder with textpad.

    both showed up.

      Seems like some applications trigger the Editor to load the files. I did rename the file to a lowercase "b" and it worked fine. Here is how I can reproduce the issue:

      1) Start IE 11.0 (Complete version shown below)/Open NS editor
      2) URL: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ad.php?t=74225
      3) Right click on the "Buttons.cs" file in post #55
      4) Select "save target as ..." (my filename defaults to "attachment.php")
      5) Change the destination location to /bin/custom/indicator/
      6) Save file name "buttons.cs" (seems like any fine name will do)
      7) The file does not show in the Indicators in the editor
      8) Compile, still doesn't show (If you save the file 2 times under different names you get a compile error, so it gets compiled but doesn't show in the editor)
      9) Exit editor, reload editor, file shows...

      Looks like lower case letter isn't related but the tool that saves the file.

        Works in Chrome.

        Although I DID EXIT NT8, and Restarted it after saving the file in Chrome..

        Will try IE11 now.

          ie11

          It showed up - but the code is in XML.

          buttonsie is when I thought I grabbed from #54 zip, so I did it again.

          #55 is looking like XML. LOL, it's the webpage .. I might need to try this again. Something isn't right.

            I did it again in IE11, while exited from NT8.

            It downloaded the webpage again... not the .cs file. IE11 shows "attachment", type: "Firefox HTML document".

            Maybe my installation of FF is an issue in IE.

              If it shows as attachment.php, you are picking up the wrong file. Try resetting IE.

                Hello,

                Originally posted by koganam View Post

                That is correct, I have seen cases where I.E. specifically does this, generally an outdated version will not correctly save the forum attachments and instead saves attachment.php which is not a valid file.

                The solution is to not use I.E. or try updating to the most recent version and resetting as koganam said.

                I look forward to being of further assistance.

                  Okay,

                  Just so you know, the file is not corrupt, just the filename needs to be fixed before saving. You simple need to exit the NS Editor and Open it again before it sees the file saved by IE 11.
