using AI makes you more smart ! good for learing ! 🙂  
claude wrote all code with with only minor fix  
i polished an example,  
i only had one or two bugs,  
for example for importing json claude wrote

```auto
Var dlg As New OpenFileDialog
dlg.Title = "Select JSON File"
'dlg.Filter = FileTypes.JSON // You need to define this in FileTypes

```

i don’t know what it meant by “You need to define this in FileTypes”, searched the doc a bit,didn’t find

and also claude writes

```auto
System.DebugLog("--- Actress: " + actressName)

```

i searched for a while the mac system console, didn’t find any output …

yes i did, sorry i’m retarted, i thought it has to do with app seting, it’s just to be declared as variable in the open dialog, in previous version of xojo, there was an filetype in app setting or i’m mistaken ?  
well the challenge was to go as fast as i can, commenting everything that was not working in few seconds, , and i got pretty fast ! impressive:)  
xojo is not just RAD anymore, Rapid Application Developpement, now it’s RAID ! even faster !🙂
