It has a small visual bug, which does not affect the functionality; 
the end of the dragger sometimes is drawn a pixel too far. I think 
it is a floating-point error somewhere, the trapping of which I don't 
have much experience in...

Now that's what I call understatement! You're definitly one of the 
VID style gurus, I'm sure you can handle that little rounding error 
:D

something's wrong here. I will probably try to reinstall View. But 
- I pointed installation to C:\Rebol\View IIRC, including the cache, 
yet, view-root points to C:\Documents and settings\blabal

maybe user settings could contain such info. How do I find out?

when you install, you have an option to set the temporary file directory

Why is it not part of the registry at least? Or is it?

I set it into C:\rebol\view IIRC. But I will better reinstall. I 
installed on my work pc, notebook and  home pc, maybe I am confused 
...

by temp you mean public? (cache?)

that directory you refer to "C:\documents ... blah " is the rebol 
temp directory

In the registry the Sandbox value --->  view-root

I think used for sites etc.

I couldnt' get Anton's slider to work on this account

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 ...

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.

the same here ...

yes, zip:// scheme - would be usefull, along with encryption :-)

working now ..

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

need some type of convention to call third party scripts

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

... 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.

or the script looks to see if rebgui is in the local directory ?

But it is better for Ashley to maintain a nice convention.

Pekr, yes, I want everything... but we don't need it for this.

not for this, but we were talking about zip in general, no? :-)

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 ;)

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

shadwolf, I just reloaded the page, but I do not see the slider..

I'm writing it ... and as my ftp is jerked I can't post the adapted 
version of the demo-slider.r file

Ok, so do you want me to do it or do you think you can get around 
the problem ?

done ;)

some freaking things with my ftp but now it's okay
