I've attached an archive containing the code I use to read v1 and v2 
MP3 tags and other MP3 info including bitrates (fixed and VBR), 
sampling rates and number of channels.  v1 tags are pretty 
staightforward to read if you don't try to read the structure 
directly, but by each element of the structure at a time.  Some tips:


1) Numeric elements (bytes, bytearrays, shorts, integers, longs) can 
be read directly from the stream. ie  (4 byte Integer) = Read #Stream 
As Integer.  Gambas can handle little endian/big endian issues.


2) Fixed length strings must be handled in a two stage process. First, 
the required string length number of bytes is read into a byte array.  
This byte array is then converted to a string. Sample code:


  Dim Bytes As New Byte[StringLength]
  Bytes.Read(Stream)
  FixedString = Bytes.ToString()

Note: Bytes.ToString stops the string conversion at the first null or 
at the end of the array.  Therfore, you don't have to worry about 
null-terminated strings.


v2 tags are more complicated, particularly since the tags can be 
ascii, either kind of utf16, or utf8 encoding.  The code I sent has 
been tested with over 10,000 mp3 files has seems to have no issues.

is there a way for gambas to read a struct of all these variables

i think that this component must have a citation that oly works with normal

openbox+fbpanel and lxde still use the old/today behaviour.. why follow

My system tray does not work with gb.qt5.
I remember you had it run in revision # 7098

I know that KDE 5 dropped the support for the old system tray protocol.

It is possible to temporarily run the system tray, please.

In the menu New Project, the list of the types of applications that we want
to create are shown, example:

Application QT
(Application using the component QT5 or QT4)

Application GTK+ 3
(pplication using the component GTK+3)

Application Web

It is possible to create a new one that says:

"Web Form Application"

[Sebastián Kulesz]

Hi Benoît,

I wanted to ask you what were the component changes since the last release.
I am on an exchange in Germany and couldn't really follow the progress on
this development cycle.
Specifically, any added or removed components. And any changes of
dependencies. With that information, and as soon as I have time, I will
update the PPAs.

Regards,
Sebastian

and for tony, it must be answered in the bugtracker.. the nex time, i'll make 
now but take in consideration that the next time:

PICCORO LENZ MCKAY changed the state of the bug to: Invalid.

That is the documented behaviour:

All Message functions can have up to three buttons:

 *

   The first button is always the default button.

 *

   The last button is always the cancel button.

Message.Question returns 2 if the message window was closed or canceled via

That is bad, especially if there are two buttons and the action should not be

Dim ret as integer

ret = Message.Question("Do you really want to delete all?", "No", "Yes")

If the user cancels or closes the window of the message it returns 2! All will

Re: [Gambas-user] Gambas Playground

[PICCORO McKAY Lenz]

a docker to take more overall control to the env (also due to put a good
necesary gambas env). good idea (and i not avocate to doker containers.. )

some js are minified make very dificult understand and study the code
(special for those that are not experts)

as i understand setup a minimal env/docker with gambas, the make a
copy/instance of playground-runner and then that runner paly a server
playground that server the web interface..  ?

Re: [Gambas-user] reading files

[Tony Morehen]

I've attached an archive containing the code I use to read v1 and v2 MP3 
tags and other MP3 info including bitrates (fixed and VBR), sampling 
rates and number of channels.  v1 tags are pretty staightforward to read 
if you don't try to read the structure directly, but by each element of 
the structure at a time.  Some tips:


1) Numeric elements (bytes, bytearrays, shorts, integers, longs) can be 
read directly from the stream. ie  (4 byte Integer) = Read #Stream As 
Integer.  Gambas can handle little endian/big endian issues.


2) Fixed length strings must be handled in a two stage process. First, 
the required string length number of bytes is read into a byte array.  
This byte array is then converted to a string. Sample code:


  Dim Bytes As New Byte[StringLength]
  Bytes.Read(Stream)
  FixedString = Bytes.ToString()

Note: Bytes.ToString stops the string conversion at the first null or at 
the end of the array.  Therfore, you don't have to worry about 
null-terminated strings.


v2 tags are more complicated, particularly since the tags can be ascii, 
either kind of utf16, or utf8 encoding.  The code I sent has been tested 
with over 10,000 mp3 files has seems to have no issues.
