[Genquire-dev] One genquire function might not work for a while...

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi all Genquire users/developers!

I've been "fiddling" with one of the broken Genquire functions and am not
having the greatest luck with it, so I want to make sure that you all area
aware that it wont work properly:

From a right-click on the canvas you are able to "re-Cast" features into
various feature types (Exon, UTR, tRNA, etc).  This function is actually
buried in the SeqCanvas module, and is thus not database aware.  As such, any
re-casting you do will *not* be written into the database and might bugger you
up in the end!    For this reason I advise anyone using this feature to avoid
it for the next couple of weeks.  I'm going to try to fix it today, but as I
discovererd yesterday it is a bit trickier than I had originally thought (I
**hate** Tk Menu widgets!!).

If you are using SeqCanvas on its own (outside of Genquire) you will have no
problem - the bug is sitting in the communication between SeqCanvas and
Genquire, not in the SeqCanvas module itself.
