Hi Folks,

Today I uploaded a few updates and a new image. Now the prerequisite 
analysis is immensely  faster. You get the "missing prerequisite" 
message within seconds. And (as before), no code is loaded at all.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich

Folks,

I have two questions and many thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice you can offer:

1. I was wondering about how to create new classes from the workspace rather than changing a class definition in a browser and saving. 

I?ve been attempting to use "newSubclassOf: newSuper type: type instanceVariables: instVars from: oldClass" for ClassBuilder in Kernel-Classes but cannot decipher how to format the instance variables argument.

This is what I type into my workspace:

m:= ClassBuilder new.
m newSubclassOf: NewClass type: Object instanceVariables: ?newinstvariable' from: SubClassOfNewClass

The reason I am doing is - I am trying to find a way to generate new class definitions in my application from a GUI rather than type things into a browser. So this is my first step.

2. Why does the mouse always highlight the window it is over? I find that more often than not, when I highlight text from one workspace or from a browser window and look to copy into a workspace or inspector, I move the arrow out of the way to focus on what I am typing but therefore end up typing or deleting in some other window because that window is not automatically brought to the front by the pointer. Is there a way I can change this default behaviour?

Best regards,

Hari

Apologies for stuffing your mailboxes.. Figured it out. I use the superclass method of the ClassBuilder class.

On a useless cellphone right now. IIRC, you can do something like

Preferences explore

This should give you a view into the preferences object. I think you should be looking to disable (set to false) something like 'focusFollowsMouse' but again, I can't look right now. 

Hopefully I haven't led you too far astray here, but I think it's in there. If you don't find it, bug me again and I'll figure it out for sure.

Yes. Just for the record, the text you save on a Browser when you create 
a new class, is just a Smalltalk expression, a message sent to the class 
you subclass. Just evaluating such code in any part of your application 
will create a new class.

As you see in any class definition, the instanceVariableNames: is a 
string comprising variable names, separated by a space.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich

Many times I find it useful to give focus to a field by just moving the 
mouse, without needing a mouse click.

If you prefer the more conventional 'click-to-focus' behavior, just 
evaluate:

     Preferences disable: #focusFollowsMouse

Maybe it could be useful to have this (and maybe others) accessible from 
the World / Preferences menu. Feel free to implement it, and publish the 
code (mail attach, Git pull request, any means is ok).

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich

Hi list,

as I was mentioning to Juan just now in private email, I knew of Cuis since a couple of years back, but recently I?ve seen a diagram ( http://squeakingalong.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/squeaketroyspharocuis.png ) that got my interest again.

Basically I?m working on Zombie Kernel ( https://github.com/davidedc/Zombie-Kernel ), a wannabe alternative to Lively Kernel. It?s built starting from Morphic.js ( https://github.com/jmoenig/morphic.js ) although the paths might be diverging.

So I?m adding Layouts, I?d say they are half-working now, and Cuis is a saver because it sheds a ton of cruft from other alternatives, and it actually works stably. It?s easy to navigate the code and to port it, so I?m picking up many of the naming conventions and patterns as well, they seem to be ?more founded? than the ones in Morphic.js. Zombie Kernel is done in CoffeeScript and I?m surprised about how quick I can port/adapt code from Cuis. The two languages are different, but in practice the two translate very well?

I?ll follow the project and probably post some basic questions - you?ll have to be patient there ;-)

Cheers,
Davide

Will try my hand at it. Code will probably look really clunky. :)

If Hari doesn't get around to it in the next week or so, someone bug me and I'll do it. We're "fighting the power" a bit on this, and if we don't make the compu-normative behavior the default (ugh) we should definitely make the preference easy to discover and change for newcomers.

On the subject: since most prefs are just enable/disable, what do folks think about a small project to put them all in the menu system (rather than some heavy-handed PreferenceBrowser?)

The snags will all be non-Boolean prefs which would need either submenus or dialogs. My thought is that the mainstay of preference interaction could be programmatically generated based on the prefs object's structure except in unusual cases (which would need to be handled with cleverness.)

Thoughts? Please shoot holes in my hot air balloon, dear friends.

Haven't thought much about all this, but please keep the ball rolling. 
First, do it just for booleans. I'm sure playing with it will help 
further ideas to appear...

Compiling to JavaScript is currently the apsis of cool. I checked out your projects and I think they're stellar. 

Hello, welcome, and good to have you around:)

Folks,

I?ve been playing around with the Styled Text Editor and noticed two issues, one is that the default size of the SystemWindow is smaller than the toolbar and the second is that when the window is resized, every part of the toolbar becomes progressively transparent other than the second PluggableFilteringDropDownListMorph (relating to CharacterStyle).

For the SystemWindow size on initialisation, I have used a very inelegant hack in the editFancierStyledText class method for the SystemWindow class by  specifying a large enough morphExtent to the SystemWindow. 

But for the lack of transparency of the second PluggableFilteringDropDownListMorph on the resizing of the overall SystemWindow, I am lost. 

On examining and comparing, in inspectors, the two PluggableFilteringDropDownListMorphs in the toolbar, I find the only difference to be in the labels.


I attach screenshots to illustrate the behaviour.

Editor window fully extended outwards.



Editor window partially constrained.





Editor window fully constrained with second toolbar not transparent.





I had one question for any folks that might know. What format does the text editor save files in? I saved it on the filesystem but couldn?t access it using textedit. If it isn?t accessible by non-smalltalk editors, is there a text editor you know of that I can install that will allow me to read and write to files on the filesystems. I started down that path last week writing to plaintext files (for an app I am building) but wanted to avoid reinventing the wheel in case it has already been done (also why I got pretty excited today about the stylised text editor.)


On the issue of enabling and disabling the focusFollowsMouse preference, I attach an awful hack to the Preferences menu that unfortunately gets the job done for me in the latest image.








Best regards,

Hari

Thanks for the report, Hari. I recently did some changes in morphic 
submorph clipping. Clipping is now done only on the first submorph. This 
is enough for scroll panes and such. And windows (together with most 
morphs) don't really need clipping, but good layout handling. I just 
committed a new version of StyledTextEditor to fix this.

Right now, we are saving files with SmartRefStream, as Smalltalk 
serialized objects. The code to support RTF is there, but I don't really 
like RTF, especially as it doesn't have a concept of styles. I think the 
best would be to be able to save and read .MD (markdown) format. And use 
a set of styles that match what markdown provides. Someone would need to 
code this, though. But I don't think it would be too hard if you or 
anybody wants to give it a try.

I integrated your code in Cuis today. I think it makes sense, and is not 
hacky at all.

Juan,

I tripped over a bug when (re)setting color dictionaries -- some colors are required by the UI.  E.g. Color transparent.

The attached code makes sure colors with these names exist in the new dictionary.

Please update the base.

Thanks much!
-KenD

========== To see the bug
 Feature require: 'XKCD-NamedColors'.

Hi Folks,

Today I uploaded a few updates and a new image. Now the prerequisite 
analysis is immensely  faster. You get the "missing prerequisite" 
message within seconds. And (as before), no code is loaded at all.

Cheers,

Folks,

I have two questions and many thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice you can offer:

1. I was wondering about how to create new classes from the workspace rather than changing a class definition in a browser and saving. 

I?ve been attempting to use "newSubclassOf: newSuper type: type instanceVariables: instVars from: oldClass" for ClassBuilder in Kernel-Classes but cannot decipher how to format the instance variables argument.

This is what I type into my workspace:

m:= ClassBuilder new.
m newSubclassOf: NewClass type: Object instanceVariables: ?newinstvariable' from: SubClassOfNewClass

The reason I am doing is - I am trying to find a way to generate new class definitions in my application from a GUI rather than type things into a browser. So this is my first step.

2. Why does the mouse always highlight the window it is over? I find that more often than not, when I highlight text from one workspace or from a browser window and look to copy into a workspace or inspector, I move the arrow out of the way to focus on what I am typing but therefore end up typing or deleting in some other window because that window is not automatically brought to the front by the pointer. Is there a way I can change this default behaviour?

Best regards,

Hari

Apologies for stuffing your mailboxes.. Figured it out. I use the superclass method of the ClassBuilder class.

On a useless cellphone right now. IIRC, you can do something like

Preferences explore

This should give you a view into the preferences object. I think you should be looking to disable (set to false) something like 'focusFollowsMouse' but again, I can't look right now. 

Hopefully I haven't led you too far astray here, but I think it's in there. If you don't find it, bug me again and I'll figure it out for sure.

Yes. Just for the record, the text you save on a Browser when you create 
a new class, is just a Smalltalk expression, a message sent to the class 
you subclass. Just evaluating such code in any part of your application 
will create a new class.

As you see in any class definition, the instanceVariableNames: is a 
string comprising variable names, separated by a space.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich

Many times I find it useful to give focus to a field by just moving the 
mouse, without needing a mouse click.

If you prefer the more conventional 'click-to-focus' behavior, just 
evaluate:

     Preferences disable: #focusFollowsMouse

Maybe it could be useful to have this (and maybe others) accessible from 
the World / Preferences menu. Feel free to implement it, and publish the 
code (mail attach, Git pull request, any means is ok).

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich

Hi list,

as I was mentioning to Juan just now in private email, I knew of Cuis since a couple of years back, but recently I?ve seen a diagram ( http://squeakingalong.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/squeaketroyspharocuis.png ) that got my interest again.

Basically I?m working on Zombie Kernel ( https://github.com/davidedc/Zombie-Kernel ), a wannabe alternative to Lively Kernel. It?s built starting from Morphic.js ( https://github.com/jmoenig/morphic.js ) although the paths might be diverging.

So I?m adding Layouts, I?d say they are half-working now, and Cuis is a saver because it sheds a ton of cruft from other alternatives, and it actually works stably. It?s easy to navigate the code and to port it, so I?m picking up many of the naming conventions and patterns as well, they seem to be ?more founded? than the ones in Morphic.js. Zombie Kernel is done in CoffeeScript and I?m surprised about how quick I can port/adapt code from Cuis. The two languages are different, but in practice the two translate very well?

I?ll follow the project and probably post some basic questions - you?ll have to be patient there ;-)

Cheers,
Davide

If Hari doesn't get around to it in the next week or so, someone bug me and I'll do it. We're "fighting the power" a bit on this, and if we don't make the compu-normative behavior the default (ugh) we should definitely make the preference easy to discover and change for newcomers.

On the subject: since most prefs are just enable/disable, what do folks think about a small project to put them all in the menu system (rather than some heavy-handed PreferenceBrowser?)

The snags will all be non-Boolean prefs which would need either submenus or dialogs. My thought is that the mainstay of preference interaction could be programmatically generated based on the prefs object's structure except in unusual cases (which would need to be handled with cleverness.)

Thoughts? Please shoot holes in my hot air balloon, dear friends.

Haven't thought much about all this, but please keep the ball rolling. 
First, do it just for booleans. I'm sure playing with it will help 
further ideas to appear...

Compiling to JavaScript is currently the apsis of cool. I checked out your projects and I think they're stellar. 

Hello, welcome, and good to have you around:)

Folks,

I?ve been playing around with the Styled Text Editor and noticed two issues, one is that the default size of the SystemWindow is smaller than the toolbar and the second is that when the window is resized, every part of the toolbar becomes progressively transparent other than the second PluggableFilteringDropDownListMorph (relating to CharacterStyle).

For the SystemWindow size on initialisation, I have used a very inelegant hack in the editFancierStyledText class method for the SystemWindow class by  specifying a large enough morphExtent to the SystemWindow. 

But for the lack of transparency of the second PluggableFilteringDropDownListMorph on the resizing of the overall SystemWindow, I am lost. 

On examining and comparing, in inspectors, the two PluggableFilteringDropDownListMorphs in the toolbar, I find the only difference to be in the labels.


I attach screenshots to illustrate the behaviour.

Editor window fully extended outwards.



Editor window partially constrained.





Editor window fully constrained with second toolbar not transparent.





I had one question for any folks that might know. What format does the text editor save files in? I saved it on the filesystem but couldn?t access it using textedit. If it isn?t accessible by non-smalltalk editors, is there a text editor you know of that I can install that will allow me to read and write to files on the filesystems. I started down that path last week writing to plaintext files (for an app I am building) but wanted to avoid reinventing the wheel in case it has already been done (also why I got pretty excited today about the stylised text editor.)


On the issue of enabling and disabling the focusFollowsMouse preference, I attach an awful hack to the Preferences menu that unfortunately gets the job done for me in the latest image.








Best regards,

Hari

Thanks for the report, Hari. I recently did some changes in morphic 
submorph clipping. Clipping is now done only on the first submorph. This 
is enough for scroll panes and such. And windows (together with most 
morphs) don't really need clipping, but good layout handling. I just 
committed a new version of StyledTextEditor to fix this.

Right now, we are saving files with SmartRefStream, as Smalltalk 
serialized objects. The code to support RTF is there, but I don't really 
like RTF, especially as it doesn't have a concept of styles. I think the 
best would be to be able to save and read .MD (markdown) format. And use 
a set of styles that match what markdown provides. Someone would need to 
code this, though. But I don't think it would be too hard if you or 
anybody wants to give it a try.

I integrated your code in Cuis today. I think it makes sense, and is not 
hacky at all.

Juan,

I tripped over a bug when (re)setting color dictionaries -- some colors are required by the UI.  E.g. Color transparent.

The attached code makes sure colors with these names exist in the new dictionary.

Please update the base.

Thanks much!
-KenD

Hi Folks,

Today I uploaded a few updates and a new image. Now the prerequisite 
analysis is immensely  faster. You get the "missing prerequisite" 
message within seconds. And (as before), no code is loaded at all.

Cheers,

Folks,

I have two questions and many thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice you can offer:

1. I was wondering about how to create new classes from the workspace rather than changing a class definition in a browser and saving. 

I?ve been attempting to use "newSubclassOf: newSuper type: type instanceVariables: instVars from: oldClass" for ClassBuilder in Kernel-Classes but cannot decipher how to format the instance variables argument.

This is what I type into my workspace:

m:= ClassBuilder new.
m newSubclassOf: NewClass type: Object instanceVariables: ?newinstvariable' from: SubClassOfNewClass

The reason I am doing is - I am trying to find a way to generate new class definitions in my application from a GUI rather than type things into a browser. So this is my first step.

2. Why does the mouse always highlight the window it is over? I find that more often than not, when I highlight text from one workspace or from a browser window and look to copy into a workspace or inspector, I move the arrow out of the way to focus on what I am typing but therefore end up typing or deleting in some other window because that window is not automatically brought to the front by the pointer. Is there a way I can change this default behaviour?

Best regards,

Hari

Apologies for stuffing your mailboxes.. Figured it out. I use the superclass method of the ClassBuilder class.

On a useless cellphone right now. IIRC, you can do something like

Preferences explore

This should give you a view into the preferences object. I think you should be looking to disable (set to false) something like 'focusFollowsMouse' but again, I can't look right now. 

Hopefully I haven't led you too far astray here, but I think it's in there. If you don't find it, bug me again and I'll figure it out for sure.

Yes. Just for the record, the text you save on a Browser when you create 
a new class, is just a Smalltalk expression, a message sent to the class 
you subclass. Just evaluating such code in any part of your application 
will create a new class.

As you see in any class definition, the instanceVariableNames: is a 
string comprising variable names, separated by a space.

Cheers,

Many times I find it useful to give focus to a field by just moving the 
mouse, without needing a mouse click.

If you prefer the more conventional 'click-to-focus' behavior, just 
evaluate:

     Preferences disable: #focusFollowsMouse

Maybe it could be useful to have this (and maybe others) accessible from 
the World / Preferences menu. Feel free to implement it, and publish the 
code (mail attach, Git pull request, any means is ok).

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich

Hi list,

as I was mentioning to Juan just now in private email, I knew of Cuis since a couple of years back, but recently I?ve seen a diagram ( http://squeakingalong.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/squeaketroyspharocuis.png ) that got my interest again.

Basically I?m working on Zombie Kernel ( https://github.com/davidedc/Zombie-Kernel ), a wannabe alternative to Lively Kernel. It?s built starting from Morphic.js ( https://github.com/jmoenig/morphic.js ) although the paths might be diverging.

So I?m adding Layouts, I?d say they are half-working now, and Cuis is a saver because it sheds a ton of cruft from other alternatives, and it actually works stably. It?s easy to navigate the code and to port it, so I?m picking up many of the naming conventions and patterns as well, they seem to be ?more founded? than the ones in Morphic.js. Zombie Kernel is done in CoffeeScript and I?m surprised about how quick I can port/adapt code from Cuis. The two languages are different, but in practice the two translate very well?

I?ll follow the project and probably post some basic questions - you?ll have to be patient there ;-)

Cheers,
Davide

If Hari doesn't get around to it in the next week or so, someone bug me and I'll do it. We're "fighting the power" a bit on this, and if we don't make the compu-normative behavior the default (ugh) we should definitely make the preference easy to discover and change for newcomers.

On the subject: since most prefs are just enable/disable, what do folks think about a small project to put them all in the menu system (rather than some heavy-handed PreferenceBrowser?)

The snags will all be non-Boolean prefs which would need either submenus or dialogs. My thought is that the mainstay of preference interaction could be programmatically generated based on the prefs object's structure except in unusual cases (which would need to be handled with cleverness.)

Thoughts? Please shoot holes in my hot air balloon, dear friends.

Haven't thought much about all this, but please keep the ball rolling. 
First, do it just for booleans. I'm sure playing with it will help 
further ideas to appear...

Compiling to JavaScript is currently the apsis of cool. I checked out your projects and I think they're stellar.

Folks,

I?ve been playing around with the Styled Text Editor and noticed two issues, one is that the default size of the SystemWindow is smaller than the toolbar and the second is that when the window is resized, every part of the toolbar becomes progressively transparent other than the second PluggableFilteringDropDownListMorph (relating to CharacterStyle).

For the SystemWindow size on initialisation, I have used a very inelegant hack in the editFancierStyledText class method for the SystemWindow class by  specifying a large enough morphExtent to the SystemWindow. 

But for the lack of transparency of the second PluggableFilteringDropDownListMorph on the resizing of the overall SystemWindow, I am lost. 

On examining and comparing, in inspectors, the two PluggableFilteringDropDownListMorphs in the toolbar, I find the only difference to be in the labels.


I attach screenshots to illustrate the behaviour.

Editor window fully extended outwards.



Editor window partially constrained.





Editor window fully constrained with second toolbar not transparent.





I had one question for any folks that might know. What format does the text editor save files in? I saved it on the filesystem but couldn?t access it using textedit. If it isn?t accessible by non-smalltalk editors, is there a text editor you know of that I can install that will allow me to read and write to files on the filesystems. I started down that path last week writing to plaintext files (for an app I am building) but wanted to avoid reinventing the wheel in case it has already been done (also why I got pretty excited today about the stylised text editor.)


On the issue of enabling and disabling the focusFollowsMouse preference, I attach an awful hack to the Preferences menu that unfortunately gets the job done for me in the latest image.








Best regards,

Hari

Thanks for the report, Hari. I recently did some changes in morphic 
submorph clipping. Clipping is now done only on the first submorph. This 
is enough for scroll panes and such. And windows (together with most 
morphs) don't really need clipping, but good layout handling. I just 
committed a new version of StyledTextEditor to fix this.

Right now, we are saving files with SmartRefStream, as Smalltalk 
serialized objects. The code to support RTF is there, but I don't really 
like RTF, especially as it doesn't have a concept of styles. I think the 
best would be to be able to save and read .MD (markdown) format. And use 
a set of styles that match what markdown provides. Someone would need to 
code this, though. But I don't think it would be too hard if you or 
anybody wants to give it a try.

I integrated your code in Cuis today. I think it makes sense, and is not 
hacky at all.

Cheers,

Juan,

I tripped over a bug when (re)setting color dictionaries -- some colors are required by the UI.  E.g. Color transparent.

The attached code makes sure colors with these names exist in the new dictionary.

Please update the base.

Thanks much!

Thanks Ken,

It is in the update stream now.
