Hi Martin, Ah, the right click problem. I don't have ready access to a Mac, so it is difficult for me to fix this. If someone wants to give me a Mac . . . :-)
You could try building from the current CVS tree and see if that helps. See http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptexternal Kepler 1.0-beta should be out sometime soon, they have a number of Mac users and have built from a very recent version of the Ptolemy tree, so the problem might be fixed there. See http://www.kepler-project.org I'd like to see if the problem occurs in the CVS head or in Kepler before proceeding with a bug report. _Christopher Christopher Brooks (cxh at eecs berkeley edu) University of California Programmer/Analyst Chess/Ptolemy/Trust US Mail: 558 Cory Hall #1774 ph: 510.643.9841 fax:510.642.2718 Berkeley, CA 94720-1774 home: (F-Tu) 707.665.0131 (W-F) 510.655.5480 (office: 400A Cory) -------- An old problem seems to have resurfaced: I can't draw transitions between states in a Modal Model on a Mac. I'm running Ptolemy 5.0.1 on a Mac Powerbook running Mac OS X 10.4.6 using JVERSION=1.5.0_06 (according to ptinvoke). The arcs are supposed to be drawn with "control-drag" according to the comment in Modal Model, and "control-right-click" according to some bug reports. The Mac is a one-button machine, with "control-click" generally mapping to "right click", so "control" is overloaded. The manual (vol 1, doc version 5.0) has a footnote on page 86 that says to use the command button on a Macintosh, but all that command-drag does is drag the state icon. There is a related problem with making connections to "relation" icons in editing graphs, which turns out to require "shift-command", but that doesn't do anything in a modal model (not even drag the state icon). I believe that I've tried all 5 choose 2 combinations of (shift, fn, ctrl, option, command) without success. I've tried plugging in a two-button mouse and using control-right-click/control-right-drag, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm not quite desperate enough to edit the .xml by hand... There's lots of traffic about the problems of control-drag vs. control-click for a Mac on http://search.lists.apple.com/?q=control+drag&cmd=Search%21&ul=java-dev Help? thanks martin s. -------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted to the ptolemy-hackers mailing list.
