and then  view-root/public/
Graham, is there an error message ? RebGUI is now at 0.3.0, Rebol/View 
is at 1.3.0 (I am sure you noticed.. :) and demo-slider.r 1.0.2, 
slider.r 1.0.3

hmm, I reinstalled View and now I can see even Public icon on the 
desktop. It was not there before. However, I wonder about following 
- I installed into C:\rebol\view and set cache path to c:\rebol\view\public 
- is that correct? What happens if I install for another account? 
Can I share cache, or will it be deleted?

It's expecting to find rebgui in /d/rebol/view/programs/rebgui/
wonder why ...
Anton

Ah, sorry Graham, I forgot to mention you will need to modify demo-slider.r 
to point to your installation of rebgui 0.3.0...
The reason is there's no easy way for a rebol script such as this 
to install rebgui from the zipped distribution.
Pekr

the same here ...
yes, zip:// scheme - would be usefull, along with encryption :-)
Graham

working now ..

zip isn't needed for this at all. We have compress and decompress.
Graham

[1389]
need some type of convention to call third party scripts
Anton

[1390]
I could handle it by keeping a distribution of rebgui on my site, 
unpacked.
Pekr

... but we want .zip, right? Many product do support that - e.g. 
skin-packs for WinAmp do. And Windows can treat .zips as a directory 
natively, as well as Total Commander etc. Our users do not know they 
even use .zip archiver - they simply go into "directory". Compress/decompress 
is much LESS usefull.
Graham

[1392]
or the script looks to see if rebgui is in the local directory ?
Anton

But it is better for Ashley to maintain a nice convention.
Pekr, yes, I want everything... but we don't need it for this.
Pekr
12-Jun-2005
[1395]
not for this, but we were talking about zip in general, no? :-)
Anton
12-Jun-2005
[1396]
no we weren't  :)

you can't be different if you try to be the same as everyone else

Anton, superb work on the slider/scroller widget. The increased functionality 
more than justfies the increase in code complexity / size. BTW, why 
the support for text? I know why something like "98%" is important 
for progress, but slider/scroller? ;)

Anton super great work  ;)
Anton can you add an entry to the rebgui on cooking page ?
Anton superb work  !!! Can you put in the on cooking page the entry 
+ the link for this work ?
sorry I get a computer crash and I does see that it was yet posted 
to altme

Thanks guys. I guess I worked hard on it. :)

I work on the topic and ashley too so we know and appreciate your 
effort to it's real value ;)

Ashley, text is a bit of an experiment to see where it can go. It 
was easy to add. I wanted to use it in the demo to place some text 
on each slider. It *could* be useful as a hover-over informative 
text (like tooltips) option.

Anton I put a modified version to your slider-demo code into my FTP 
and into the On cooking page ;)
Anton

Also, I am concerned that making the arrows optional (should be able 
to be dynamically added and removed, by the way) made the code have 
too much voodoo, especially with the draw block.

My FTP is a jerk ... it doesn't work
Anton

[1410]
shadwolf, I just reloaded the page, but I do not see the slider..
shadwolf
12-Jun-2005
[1411]
I'm writing it ... and as my ftp is jerked I can't post the adapted 
version of the demo-slider.r file
Anton
12-Jun-2005
[1412]
Ok, so do you want me to do it or do you think you can get around 
the problem ?
shadwolf
12-Jun-2005
[1413x2]
done ;)
some freaking things with my ftp but now it's okay
Anton

[1415]
Ashley, ...and I don't really care about the text that much. Remove 
it if you wish, or just ask me to remove it so my next release is 
consistent.

I don't get the point ...  people that work on a widget of rebgui 
must be noticed to the public  ;)
this is usefull for us too to know how many people work on a widget 
and what was the role of every intervenent
Anton

[1418]
Yes, I just realised I didn't put much credits in the source. I should 
have credited at least Ashley, because I started from rebgui scroller 
style, listed in rebgui doc as authored by Ashley.

No problem I make it  ;)
As I say this table about on cooking widgets is like a summary of 
the in progress work ;)
it can be use to collect from public the widgets needs too :)
we all know that the most of the work was done by ashley our intervention 
is most a support one (well in listview it's 100%  my own code ... 
 but that the only one and it's not ended it lot to bet that AShley 
will adapt it befor intergring it to rebgui  :))

Just for the record, there is very little original code of the scroller 
in my slider implementation. It is totally re-engineered.
Mmm...  checks don't do face/action when they change state. Is that 
by design ?
Ashley

re: check actions - by omission; fixed in next build. I've also updated 
the roadmap to include a link to the RebolFrance Wiki (shadwolf) 
and a link back to the RebGUI Home page (Robert).
