[BUG] TextPropertiesMorph - overflow
by Webb McDonald 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

If you have a text that's substantially large, opening a TextPropertiesMorph to add color becomes impossible. The window opens as large as your full text - is there an alternative? I believe it needs a scrollbar! Can I make this fix and turn it in? also - GeeMail gets blown away when you open TextPropertiesMorph... but I'm not sure where its best to begin with this, (it could call for a rethinking of TextPropertiesMorph - make edits to the existing TextMorph instead of a tmp copy? - evidently this problem with GeeMail occurs btwn the transition from 'TextPlusMorph', to tmp TextMorph, and back to TextPlusMorph). If no one has an opinion on this then I'll go ahead and do these changes! (or please inform me otherwise) - adios, Webb McDonald 1324481.14 662809.63

[FIX][REPOST] slightProgress-sm
by simon＠joyful.com 16 Jan '04

16 Jan '04

I file this in to every new image to get more accurate project loading progress bars, and it still works for me. So I thought I'd repost. from preamble: "Change Set: SlightProgress-sm Date: 3 Nov 2001 Author: Simon Michael Make project loading progress indicators slightly more accurate by storing timing data separately for local & remote downloads. After loading a few projects you should notice less flickering, especially when downloading large projects over a slow link. Also fixes the spelling of the TranslucentProgressMorph class."!

[Bug] The ever-widening PluggableTextMorph
by Ken Causey 31 Dec '03

31 Dec '03

( PluggableTextMorph on: nil text: nil accept: nil readSelection: nil menu: nil ) extent: 50@100; editString: 'This is some really long text that will hopefully cause the PTM to wrap and a scollbar appear'; hResizing: #shrinkWrap; openInWorld. Now either extend the text or just wiggle the scrollbar and watch the PluggableTextMorph widen and widen. The hResizing: #shrinkWrap seems to lead to this behaviour. Ken

Amen to that. BTW, everyone is welcome to join the review fest going on in the final hours of 3.6alpha by installing the BFAV and reviewing/testing/ commenting something (even if its small). I intend to do some approving tommorrow, so stuff that gets enough loving and is ready still has a chance to get in. Daniel PS.

[ENH] TextLinkByKbd (v2)
by Daniel Vainsencher 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

from preamble: "Change Set: TextLinkByKbd Date: 28 July 2003 Author: Daniel Vainsencher Small changes I need for Garden to be able to bind keys to follow Text links. ParagraphEditor method activates the Text links at the cursor position - until now there was a hook only if it came through a mouse event. PTM change allows instance specific PTM keybindings. I find it astonishing we didn't have this before. Trivial, clean implementation suggested by Ned."!

The generation of the menu has been slightly altered to allow other extensions more easily."!

:-) Well, if you do, why don't you try out Theirry package, and give him feedback (preferably in such a way that it is associated with my proposal for inclusion) and so we can get into Basic, or fix it if it isn't good enough?

[ENH] BFAVAttachmentsInMenu-nk ( user feedback? )
by Brent Vukmer 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

> > * Adds file list items for all the attachments of the > selected package to the package list menu, so you can > directly file in, view changes, etc. rather than having to go > through a FileList. I'd be really interested in hearing what BFAV users think of this feature. Do you prefer file-services options in the mouse menu, or do you prefer to open a FileList?

[KCP] [ENH] KCP-0096-SwapByte
by ducasse＠iam.unibe.ch 19 Oct '03

Hi andreas I move swapByteIn... into Bitmap, and fix the arrayed collection accordingly. We have still a dependency from ArrayedCollection to Bitmap so may be this is the maximum. Stef from preamble: "Change Set: KCP-0096-SwapByte Date: 28 June 2003 Author: stephane ducasse Deprecate swapByte as suggested by andreas and move it into Bitmap"!

[ENH] FileListEmptyDirectoryFix #2
by steve＠swerlingphoto.com 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

from preamble: "Change Set: FileListEmptyDirectoryFix Date: 28 December 2002 Author: Steven Swerling Currently in the hierarchy list FileList2, all folders have toggles that make them appear to have subfolders. This changeset removes the toggle from folders that do not contain subfolders. The old behavior of assuming that a subfolder exists is maintained in cases that would incur a performance hit (such as nonlocal directories). Changes this version: Catch Error in #hasContents causes default behavior (assume subfolder) instead of walkback."!
