If there are elements in the project that are not supported by the new panel type, they are presented
in the Errors & Warning Reports dialog.
Errors and Warnings Report dialog
When you convert a TPDesign3 project to a TPD4 project, or save the project as a different panel type, TPD4
generates a report that lists errors and warnings relating to the conversion process. The Errors and Warnings
reports are displayed in the Error and Warnings Report dialog (XXXXXXXXXXX).
Neither errors or warnings will prevent the file from being compiled, but will probably require that the issues
be resolved in order to have buttons and pages that look and function as expected.
Errors are issues that result in unexpected button borders, usually because there are button or
buttons in the project that are smaller than the minimum size of the selected border.
Warnings are issues that represent potential visual/formatting problems, like minor shifts in shape
and size on some buttons. The bottom text box lists all Warnings encountered during the conversion
process.
Double-click on any item (with a few exceptions) to open the page or popup page, with edit focus on the
selected item so you can quickly fix the indicated problem.
Click the Finished button to close the Errors and Warnings Report dialog. As long as the project file is not
closed, you can access the error and warnings reports in this dialog by selecting View > Errors and Warnings
Report (or by pressing the F10 hotkey).
By default, the program scales all elements of the panel file, which should produce
the best overall effect. Note that scaling an image to a greater size produces more
artifacts in the final image than reducing the image.
