On page 50, Figure 1-20 has a callout for the Workspace switcher. At the top of page 50, Step 5 refers to the "Workspace switcher". But on page 52, steps 12, 14, and 15, each step refers to "Layout switcher", a different name for what apparently is the Workspace switcher. Also, by putting both these terms in quotes, most users would expect the text to appear exactly as quoted on the screen, but as far as I can tell the only place the text appears is the callout in Figure 1-20. So, I would suggest consistently using the term Workspace switcher as well as removing the quotes. |

Printed | Page 837 4th paragraph - Item #14. |
Item 14 discusses the need to "flush" the new permissions to get them recognized. However, the figure referenced in the text (Figure 22-8) shows a MAMPP home page (instead of the XAMPP page I am using). On my XAMPP home page, there is no "Reload Priveldges" link that I can see. Perhaps the current version (3.1.1) does not require flushing the new permissions? Note from the Author or Editor: |
