Painter Needa an Application

Does anyone know what it means when I select one of my subclasses of the Form class and find that the Classes, Edit Form menu option is unavailable and the status bar displays the message 'The command is not available becaused the painter requires an application'?

It may be because you schema does not have an GUI application. Jade seems to need at least one application with an application type of GUI for certain things like using painter. Try adding another application if your schema doesn't have one.

Jade sometimes not remember you app. Try select different app then painter work. It happens often for me. Maybe Jade fix it sometime.

Thanks for the input.

I did some scratching around and it looked as though the form hadn't been loaded when the class was imported into the schema. I deleted all unused locales from the source schema as I'm pretty sure that's what mucked up the load, then re-extracted and reloaded, and now all is good.
