Subject: viXen bug - Menu option "New project” is crippled!

Dear Vixener(s),

A) The Bug

I want to inform you of a bug with viXen that occurred on July 4, 2026:

viXen was not correctly resetting the Widget Tree when creating a new project.

Here's how it happened:

1. Starting a new project after viXen reloaded my current project: F.o.x.R.A.D (FoxRAD offers xblite Rapid Application Development), I was designing from scratch the main window of a single-form KISS GUI demo.

2. Upon generating the resulting XBLite program, it turned out that "ghost forms" from FoxRAD were still present!

Five minutes later, the bug was isolated and fixed, and viXen successfully generated my single-form prototype.

The following day, I uploaded a working version of viXen to Sourceforge: <https://sourceforge.net/projects/visual-xblite/files/vixen%20version%201/VIXEN%20v1.99/vixen_setup_v1_99u_windows10.exe/download>.

The lesson here: No Bug Reports, No Use of Tool!

B) The Poll

viXen will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2026; is it time for viXen to retire?

Dear viXen Users, could you please let me know in this Group if you care for a future for viXen beyond 2026?

I would be interested to know: it would motivate me to start working on a completely rewritten and improved version 2.00 of viXen.

The lesson here: No Poll Answers, No Future for viXen circa 2026!

Thanks in advance for showing your interest in viXen and answering to this poll.
