   Nice. I ran into two problems:

   1. No keyboard access for pull-down menus? Really?!
   2. Help -> Check for new version… lets me type in a textbox. I assume this is a bug 🙂

     With 1), I’m not totally clear what you’re meaning. Are you simply wanting keyboard accelerator support (e.g. ctrl+A), or something else like pressing alt to get the focus on the first menu in the menubar?

     2) is definitely a bug that we’re aware of.

       Hi Jonathan,

       I’m asking for keyboard mnemonics (i.e. ALT+F should expand the File pulldown menu).

   I came here asking “what is Scenic View?” Would be a good idea to always include a one/two sentence intro with such a post.

     I post about Scenic View enough I would assume everyone was sick of hearing about it 🙂 There is a sub-page that is purely devoted to Scenic View (and what it is) at the link I provided: http://www.fxexperience.com/scenic-view

   Okay. If it’s a runtime debugger-like application telling me how my separate application is doing, it’s cool and I’m in! 🙂

   If it’s a GUI editor, I don’t use/need them.

   This distinction was not clear from the page you mentioned.

     I thought the first paragraph clarified what Scenic View is quite well. It is exactly what you said in your first line. If anything is unclear let me know and I’ll update the Scenic View page.

   Using jdk8_75, when I start scenicView and another javafx 8 app, scenicView doesn’t see it. I get the exception:

     Thanks Curtis, we’ll look into it as soon as possible. Are you on Mac OS or Linux?

     Curtis, can you please try a few things for me:

     1) Can you try running Scenic View as a super user?
     2) Can you clarify if you are using the Oracle JVM or some alternate JVM?
     3) Can you please provide what you see when you do ‘java -version’
     4) Can you please email me (jonathan@jonathangiles.net) the console output when you run Scenic View?

     Thanks!

       Sure,

       1) sudo — didn’t get the error but still don’t see my app in Scenic View

       2) Yes, oracle jdk8 preview 75

       3) java version “1.8.0-ea”
       Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-ea-b75)
       Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b17, mixed mode)

       BTW, I did get it to work by starting Scenic View AFTER my app.
