Hi Mike and everyone,
I have been playing around with the latest version of Girder for most of the day and I think I may have found a bug in the program or more than likely it is me..

Anyway I had read through the help files including the latest one (thanks Mike) but I seem to be having a problem with the targeting command.

I dont know how to exactly explain this properly.. So what I did was I created a small video file from my desktop so you can actually see what I am talking about :).. The video file can be viewed or downloaded at the following URL:

http://www.cybagirl.com/targeting.avi

If you have a look at the video file it shows you step by step as to what I am doing in regards to trying to target Notepad as per the example in the help file..

Now what I do is click and hold the crosshair and drag it over the top window that has Notepad listed. I notice that this whole window and all the programs within this window gets a black rectangle around it. And no matter what I do I cannot seem to just select Notepad with the cross hair as in just highlight Notepad. Then when I let the mouse button go it just displays Girder in the bottom right hand window and information relating to Girder.

So I am at a total loss now as to what to do as in trying to just target Notepad.. Im not to sure if this is making any sense to anyone :).. But if you dont mind taking the time to download and view the above file I hope it will give you a better insight as to what I am trying to explain here.

Any help or insight as to why I cannot target Notepad for will be greatly appreciated :)..

Kind Regards
Erica

PS: Also what is meant by the following in the help file?

Aim the crosshair at the big white plane and let go

Hi

What you need to do is drag the target selector onto a notepad instance window, not onto girder.

So open up notepad.
open girder targetting window
drag target selector onto the window

That should fix it

Hi, Sorry missed your last bit of the post...

It means in notepad, the text window area, were you type.
