Fixes a bug where loading a file from the file->MRU menu overwrote the contents of the file previously used in that session, iff the user chose to save. Another reason why people should place their files under version control ;-)

Changing the font size in studio for kdb+

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Studio has a config file located under

%USERPROFILE%/.studioforkdb/studio.properties

it is a text format file which you can edit manually in notepad. Please close studio before editing to ensure your changes are loaded.

The line which controls the font size can be changed to your desire

font.size=14

This will at least change the font used for the editor component.

Studio for kdb+ V3.09

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

The phoenix build has finally made it to a final production release, so I have replaced the links on the downloads page to reflect this.

Many thanks to those who reported bugs during the beta phase - you know who you are!

Note that Studio is freeware and no longer requires a license file. I am only distributing the windows build at the moment to simplify the build process. If anyone wants a build for another OS (Mac/Linux) just let me know.
