World: r3wp

Thanks for suggestions. Have to look into that. Currently i have 
anti-colors, mostly because i box the words, not just colorize them. 
looks like suqeaks etoys :) to see it, run edit-tools in my developer-folder, 
open a script, choose color-rebol.r in the plugin-list and close 
your eyes quickly :)) more a demo how to markup text.

Whoa! what a bizarre user experience!  :)

hehe ;)

I click "edit-tools", then I press "open" button, it opens a dialog 
"save /d/anton/dev/rebol/link/developer/et/doc/readme.txt" [Yes] 
[No]...   eh !??!

oops, yes. choose no.

I press [No], then it opens a file requester, so I press "Cancel" 
and that minimizes the edit-tools app. Is this an april fools joke 
that no-one discovered in time ?

thats the first-time opened file, if you use the multi-file-version. 
missing files are created. then it thinks that missing file on disk 
is diferent to that empty edited file and -hu, more problems?

should test on windows first maybe.

can you open a real file with the requester?

no idea about minimizing. crash maybe, but minimize?

You had me reading code there... yeah that's weird, the minimize 
- no where in code is "minimize" found.

Here's the problem, surely:
	button "open" [save-file/? ta sr open-file refresh]

can you look for
  wait: :my-wait
and delete that?

it contains a workaround on linux. maybe windows does not like it.

refresh -> window -> hide main-window

aah - hmm, on linux i use [hid main-window] to stop timers before 
replacing layout. on windows that minimizes?

yes

on linux it does nothing, except stopping timers and flash a moment.

so that should be changed to [hide main-window/pane perhaps.

somewhere in the [window: func]

Mmm.  HIDE doesn't work on latest Rebol/View betas, but it minimizes 
a window face on View 1.2.1.3.1

doesn't work

 = doesn't change appearance of the window (don't know about timers 
 yet)

published a fix. can you try it again?

Open still tries to save, obviously, but when I cancel now it does 
not minimize (I see a quick flash of the window though)

:) The next problem is: why is the "Open" button asking to save ?

open tries to save the last file. it thinks it is modified, instead 
its missing. but text <> attempt[read file], so..

Ok...

Gosh! the two scrollers interact with each other...

its tricky to stop the timers. hide works but flashes. hide on window 
does not flash on linux, so i thought i had a good way.

yes, use the left. the right scrolls a fixed amount.

sometimes i have files with some 100kb. than the normal scroller 
scales not fine enough. then i use the right one to scroll in that 
area.

Ah yes, a relative scroller. Middle-mouse button would be good for 
this one day...

yes, poor mans middle mouse :)

Maybe we can trap right+left combo ?

hmm, worth trying

I wanted to make one of those relative scroller icons as seen in 
Firefox. One day...

Well, I got it to colourize some code. Pretty ugly ! ;-) but you're 
getting there. Interesting "floating" coloured blocks.

interesting point is, you give it a text-face, a start and end, and 
a template for markup and do:
  markup-face ta make markup-face! [color: local/2] start end
and then you have markup :)

Very cool Volker! You never cease to amaze me.

:.)9 -> :)

Does anybody know if it's possible to catch third mouse-button's 
up and down events? I know of the scroll-line and scroll-page thing, 
but ...

I don't think so. Let me check the binary :)

Nope, there's only down, alt-down, up, alt-up

On windows maybe the system port will see the WM_MBUTTONDOWN & UP 
messages.

Did you know you can do the whole markup with iterated faces? 1766 
markups ~8000kb.

ChristianE, see (if you haven't already) the "Windows (MS)" group, 
where I posted some extra notes showing the beginning of how these 
messages can be captured using the system port (only on Windows, 
obviously).

I remember reading problem about using serial port with View window 
: you have to move mouse to get proper serial transfer (if not port 
take 1 sec to respond). Can't remember what was the conclusion about 
it ?
Anybody ?

Petr says he owes me a beer cause I told him the solution to that 
.. but now I can't recall what it was!  :(

neither I .... hmm, I will look into my sources ...
