Closed as this was rather a support request then a bug or change request. Somebody should change that Windows documentation though.

New options were indeed added to PC, but the substance doesn't change.

Don't worry for the another files. That tutorial is very old, and the images don't correspond with the actual state.

Right, the contextual menus don't work on windows now. Please don't use this. Also, is better launch PC from the menu GNUstep -> Apps -> Project Center, instead from the shell. You can edit the Converter.gorm file, launching Gorm from the menu GNUstep -> Apps -> Gorm, and open the file.

Hi there,

I'm not sure it's the right place to ask, but I didn't find a more appropriate place...

I retrieved Windows packages from http://www.gnustep.org/experience/Windows.html

As suggested there, I downloaded and installed in order:
- "GNUstep System" 0.22.0
- "GNUstep Core" 0.22.0
- "GNUstep Devel" 1.0.0

I also installed the 3 apps from so-called "0.22.x series":
- SystemPreferences.app Version 1.0.2-7
- Gorm.app Version 1.2.8
- ProjectCenter.app Version 0.5.0

I checked that system was OK by launching a shell which seemed to work OK.

After that, I tried to replicate the tutorial below:
http://www.gnustep.it/pierre-yves/index.html

The step "Creating an App" went OK.

Things went awry at the second step "Editing the interface file":
After selecting "Interfaces" in the main window browser, I'm proposed 4 choices instead of 1 in the tutorial: in addition to expected "Converter.gorm", there is also "Main.gsmarkup", "MainMenu-GNUstep" and "MainMenu-OSX.gs" (I'm not sure it's important)

When, as instructed, I double-click on "Converter.gorm", nothing happens, and Gorm.app is not launched.
If I right-click on "Converter.gorm", a copy of the "PC" menu appears and when I release the click, an iconized window appears on my screen. Double-clicking on it makes a grey rectangle appear with absolutely no content...

Also, in the main window browser, when hovering over the various icons (launcher, inspector...), a small rectangle appears again with absolutely no content.

I'm stuck there.

I imagine I'm missing something pretty obvious, since I doubt this is a bug: if that was the case, everybody would have faced it!
Rather, it's probably a configuration problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for your patience.
