Hi Tariel
thanks for your feedback!
A bit more feedback wouldn't hurt however (Hint, HInt! :-)

I noticed that with engine 3.5 the shortcuts e.g. the script editor
like CMD-M or "CMD-F" etc. do not work anymore?
The shortcuts are apparently directed to the "MC Menubar" and CMD-M
will open/close themessage box, CMD-F will open the MC "Find" dialog
and NOT the script find dialog.This did work with 3.0.Someone else
noticed this?
I only got one response to my important question, thanks Hugh.
Could you please check this and give a short notice?
I can confirm (Mac OS X) that with latest 3.5 engine CMD-F in script
editor now opens "Find" dialog and NOT "Script find" dialog.
The debug shortcuts are also not accessible which is even worse!
I will write a mail to "supp...@runrev.com" before I start making
evil hacks in the script editor, maybe they have a VERY clever
workaround ;-)
BTW since 3.0 the "Script find" dialog is now NOT resizable and
twice as long as it was before.
While you are on this, can you please make it resizable again?
:-)
to take care of geometry you can do something like this..
-----
vertical min and max is set to 100
horizontal min is set to 200
script of card
on resizeStack x,y
set the rect of fld "find Text" to 104,12,x-110,36
set the right of button "find next" to the right of card 1 - 11
set the right of button "done" to the right of card 1 - 11
end resizeStack

Thanks!
Also, in current IDE we have..
-----
the script of card 1 of stack "MetaCard Menu Bar"
.........
if the platform contains "Mac" then
set the loc of this stack to the screenloc
else
set the loc of this stack to 320,67
end if
insert script of button "menuButton" into front
insert script of button "newobj" into back
if the defaultMenubar is empty
then set the defaultMenubar to "MetaCard Menu Bar"
if the platform is "MacOS" and char 1 of the systemVersion is "1"
then
set the textFont of this stack to "Lucida Grande"
set the textSize of this stack to 13
else if the platform is "Win32" then
set the textFont of this stack to "Verdana"
set the textSize of this stack to 11
end if
.........
First, personally I don't think we should force "tool palette"
the "... to the screenloc" relates to stack "MetaCard Menu Bar", which
is not
opened at all on the Mac, except for editing!
to screenloc and second and most important, can you please change
set the textFont of this stack to "Lucida Grande"
set the textSize of this stack to 13
to
set the textFont of this stack to "Lucida Grande"
set the textSize of this stack to 11
which is default and more acceptable font size for Mac
Sure, any objections from other users?
...
I need to know for the next release of the MC IDE and act accordingly
if necessary.
Maybe I will add some buttons and/or change the shortcuts or any
other
workaround if there is any.
Hints very welcome! Thanks!
No hints at this moment but the goofy workaround would be to add the
following mini handler to the script of card 1 of stack "script
editor"
on commandkeydown x
if x = "f" then
send "doFind" && word 2 of the name of this stack & "," && the
selectedtext to stack "Script Find"
else
pass commandkeydown
end if
end commandkeydown
In my brief test it reversed behavior to "normal"
See above, will ask the mothership first.
I already created a palette for the new datagrid and will relase this
as a plug-in on the weekend
That's a great news, THANKS.
Indeed! :-D
(hopefully, since I have a gigantic cold, pass me the
hankies...)
:(
Later I will try to implement this into the properties palette but
that may require that
I make this palette a bit higher, from 208 pixel to 264.
I think we can live with this
absolutely, but how difficult it would be to make it dynamically
resize to 264 for Grid and back to 208 for other controls ?
Hm, a bit more elaborate that you might think, since I have the prop
palette at the bottom
of my screen wehile others may have it somewhere else...
I will see what I can do.
if I also make some changes to e.g. the
field "Tooltip" so we can finally enter more than one line and maybe
add a "antialias" for graphics.
NICE
Best regards
Tariel
Best
