_ updated serial lib for mac osx
_ http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=503
_ casey's vote:
_ Standard, Android, JavaScript, Jython
_ or: Processing, Android, Processing.js, Processing.py
for the examples menu
top level directories will be grayed out categories
Basics, Topics, 3D, Books, Libraries, Contributed Libraries
'book' examples will be another category
i'll add vida examples, can offer to others if they want
should be "Getting Started" not GettingStarted
tempting to make an 'examples' button on the toolbar?
rather than merging things in an awkward way
also, move open to a submenu?
then we'd have open / recent / sketchbook
move compiler to mode.java.* instead of runner
change 'export' to 'export applet'
android will be "Export Project", "Export Release Application"
along with "Run in Emulator" and "Run on Device"
_ note for reference: auto-format has been moved to edit
_ this might be the same as arduino?
We're making an assumption that the idea of a "library" refers to a block of Java-based code. The reasoning is that from within the PDE, we anticipate that it will be Java-compatible versions of other languages (such as Jython, JRuby, or Scala) as opposed to more generic languages. In the future we could open this up, but we'd rather not complicate things for the moment.
_ opt for separate examples/sketchbook/libraries for each mode
_ better to put the onus on the mode developers than users
_ and rather than trying to figure out a complicated scheme for inclusion
_ we can have something that takes care of auto-copying per-mode examples
_ on linux, mozilla shouldn't be the default browser anymore
_ is there a way to query the default browser? gnome-open? xdg-open?
_ TextAreaDefaults
_ is editable in use?
_ what's electricScroll?
_ caretBlinks always true.. just remove the pref?
_ blockCaret always false.. remove it?
_ JEditTextArea
_ focusedComponent = this -> bad solution for a symptom
_ in Editor, textarea.requestFocus -> requestFocusInWindow, watch the bool
_ EditorToolbar, two TODO items for open menu handling
libraries
_ need to deal with classpath conflicts
_ avoid garbage that people have installed on their machines
_ antlr.jar in the classpath will cause trouble..
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1138652326
_ jogl jar files, or jogl install will cause trouble
_ /System/Library/Java/Extensions or /Library/Java/Extensions
_ the /System one contains qtjava
_ the /Library one is empty (by default), maybe skip it?
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1259
_ another problem with opengl libraries
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1570
_ when a conflicting library is found, need to report it
_ altho prolly only when it's actually different (md5hash it?)
_ this seems to be causing a lot of trouble with recent releases
_ (opengl changes and whatnot)
_ jar files like the bad aiexport plugin will cause serious problems
_ need to ignore processing.core classes showing up in other jar files
_ tougher than it looks, because it all depends on what java wants to use
_ i.e. even if not specified, the stuff will be in the classpath
_ need to make classpath code be less promiscuous
_ the order of adding libraries to classpath should be opposite
_ the important local libraries should be first in cp, user contrib later
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321
_ http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=56
_ changing the sketchbook folder will make libraries show up
_ but it won't reload the library mapping table
_ 64-bit windows causes UnsatisfiedLinkError with OpenGL
_ make sure there aren't library jar files named the same thing
_ i.e. if one library has db.jar, then that's gonna kill another db.jar
_ when the files are copied over
_ when are prefs saved? could instead save whenever changes are made
_ and then if the file gets modified, it'll put up an error message
_ also, this may be part of why other sketches aren't reloading properly
_ add a 150 ms or more lag before opening the untitled window (on os x)
_ Editor.applyFrame() may not have a valid 'editor' object to work with
_ if windows closed, and prefs altered, NPE thrown
_ clear up prefs so that multiple editors don't trash each other's prefs
_ make sure editor isn't trying to apply prefs when no editor is open
_ (on mac os x, due to the change for no windows open)
_ how to handle double-clicked files on windows?
_ big deal for psk and others
_ need to get a new stable release out there, the docs/ref are out of sync
_ build is currently broken for p5 because of changes to the file layout
_ something that gets fixed my 'make clean'
_ Debugger highlights wrong line, and sometimes the wrong file
_ http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=412
. . . .
_ "save" clears undo information
_ http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=411
The problem comes from Editor.java's UndoAction inner class. The updateUndoState() method marks a sketch as unmodified when the undo stack is exhausted. This made sense when the undo stack was cleared on save, but it is no longer correct.
Fix: remove lines 985-987 from Editor.java
_ saved window positions.. if displays has changed, becomes a problem
_ record the display that it was on?
_ GraphicsDevice gd = frame.getGraphicsConfiguration().getDevice();
_ make sure that the application is within the bounds of the current display?
_ (from 0, 0 to width, height)
_ messy since some displays have negative coords
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=72
_ http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=27
Base.restoreSketches() has commented out code that checked for out of bounds windows with the preferences last.window.x and last.window.y. These prefs don't exist anymore, but it would be quick to implement it again using last.sketch<i>.location instead. It would probably result in less code, because it would mean we could get rid of the windowPositionValid stuff.
_ don't reload sketch on "save as"
_ this can result in loss of data (undo is lost)
_ http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=62
Chris has attached a patch for this one.
_ sketch marked as modified too aggressively
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=328

_ fix line endings in revisions.txt for windows
closing this bug, because we'll be replacing the current video library with another sometime later this year. as such, i won't be doing any more bug fixes on the current video library. in the meantime, we recommend using gsvideo, opencv, or one of the other video libraries that are available.

You can't do that from the AWT event thread. You need to do a -performSelectorOnMainThread to do that on the AppKit event thread.
Please see <http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2005/tn2147.html> for more information, particularly the section about "Calling AppKit from AWT/Swing".

Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

generally, that error means that something is missing from the
CLASSPATH. the NoClassDefError gives erroneous feedback about *what*
class is actually missing, as of java 1.3+ (yay!)
so perhaps conflicting versions of a library in the sketchbook (solve
this by setting to an empty sketchbook temporarily) or files might be
installed in the CLASSPATH variable or something conflicting in
/System/Library/Extensions.
DOC / Text
_ how to use textMode(SHAPE) with opengl
_ things will be extremely slow (fix later)
_ things will also be very ugly on-screen
_ text being nicer in java2d
_ use createFont() to load the font or use a font from your machine
_ note that createFont() is no good for applets/export to web
_ textMode(SCREEN) for P2D and P3D for nice fast text in screen space
_ currently slow in JAVA2D and OPENGL, but this will improve
_ what is the vlw font file format?
_ shapes from 3D type
_ the way to do it (will improve later) is to use some undocumented features
_ 1) you have to use the OPENGL renderer
_ 2) use textMode(SHAPE);
_ 3) use createFont() (which you already are)
_ this will convert all the shape data from the fonts for writing.
_ it will be *extremely* slow, which is part of why it's not documented yet.
_ but it will work with beginRaw().

_ 1. don't double (or triple) post
_ 2. if you're having trouble, first see the troubleshooting page
_ 3. if you have a bug, first search the bugs database
_ 4. first check the FAQ
_ 5. use the search bar at the top of every page
_ 6. read revisions.txt

_ how to put [code] around blocks of code
_ also mention contributed plugin for formatting
_ also the reference page on the bb commands
_ i don't answer to instant messages

_ use the bugs db instead of the bugs board
_ use the search box (not the forum search)
_ read the faq, read the faq
_ read the reference.. right-click on a word and choose "find in ref"
_ non-processing posts will be deleted (not a java discussion board)
_ no duplicate posts - find an area and post to
_ explanation of what the areas are
_ be sure to look at the reference, especially the extended reference
_ questions like 'how do i do x' are often solved by looking at the api
_ for instance, to get the framerate, use framerate()

_ quitting from present mode doesn't kill run button

PDE / Sketch & Sketchbook
_ ArticulatePrint-070103a.pde from ArticulatePrint-070103a loads ok
_ but when opening the sketch, it leaves out the file
_ because there's a dash in the name
_ and instead only loads StemCell.pde
_ show progress dialog during export and save
_ slow save/new because of large sketchbook
_ this is a total cluster, the rebuild is being called incessantly
_ startup is very slow on g4
_ show progress bar while rebuilding sketch menu?
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1162801212
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1141126582
_ even more of a problem becase set modified set true all the time
_ in 0125, only rebuilding on rename or save as, but still a problem
_ don't re-scan all jar files whenever rebuilding sketch menu (cache)
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=579
_ in rebuild sketch menu - disable subfolders working as libraries
_ if a sketch, don't allow subfolders
o or maybe just that libraries must be in the root?
o nah, cuz that would mean can't make subfolder called "libraries"
_ is the 'hide' option for code dumb? i've never used it
_ should it just hide the code, not actually remove it?
_ do we finish the tabs thing for 1.0? yes
_ could probably be done in a reasonable simple way.. ala eclipse
_ show additional tabs in the dropdown list? show all?
_ robert's tunnel example, why does tunnel not show up as leftmost tab?
_ hitting ESC on "create this, move file, continue" opened anyway
_ may need a progress bar for "save as"
_ or just the file copy function in general
_ since it may take a long time (i.e. 1000s of screen grabs)
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=82
_ "save as" shouldn't always show save as dialog
_ unless that's the current mode that's being used
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=83
_ handle renaming with case changes (currently ignores case change)
_ see notes/bitching in Sketch.nameCode()
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=85
_ setting sketchbook to a folder on a network mounted drive
_ does this work? test on both on mac and pc..
_ or if not, should recommend people against it
_ (i.e. folders disappearing if net has trouble)
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=87
_ some type of sketch archive format for posting examples (.psk?)
_ would be nice to open a sketch directly from a zip file
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=88
_ maybe just open from a zip file, since psk doesn't help anything
_ also have a means of importing sketches

TOOLS / General
_ need a proper means to handle command keys for tools (?)
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=140
_ need method for showing prefs for the tools (?)
_ i.e. add pref to handle date vs. increment on archive sketch
_ tools that need prefs will show their own GUI anyway
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=883
_ handle native code for tools menu (?)
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=884
TOOLS / Ideas
_ add a command to launch an external editor
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=141
_ add tool to "Add custom html to sketch"
_ that copies applet.html,
_ opens sketch folder,
_ and gives info about what to do next (how to edit)
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=143
_ tool to run in appletviewer? sun.applet.Main is appletviewer
_ import sketch from url (takes a zip from archive sketch)
_ archive sketch direct to bug report
_ shared code
_ Integrator / FloatThing / CameraStuff -- Update
_ to pull code from a local folder
_ update will update classes from shared in the current folder
TOOLS / Create Font
E3 _ "create font" is slow, implement a progress indicator
E3 _ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1464
TOOLS / Color Picker
_ pasting into color picker doesn't update the color values
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=503
TOOLS / Auto Format
_ do a better job of maintaining cursor during beautify
_ jdf says: a specification would help here!
_ only auto format a particular section of code
_ set the 'tabs' var based on how many spaces on previous line

_ shutting these off for 0116 so hopefully the messages improve
_ (could this be a mac issue with errors not making it through?)

_ when drawing large video, the two triangles for the rect are out of sync
_ only shows up in P3D
_ pause and frameRate aren't working
_ framerate does set the frequency which movieEvent will be called,
_ but it is not setting the "available" field corrrectly.
_ in fact, speed() should be used to set the rate, not frameRate
_ sketch .zip file in casey's email message
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=370
_ wrong device name for video capture will cause a crash
_ couldn't get req'd component also happens when the capture isn't ready
_ may also mean that no camera is plugged in
_ also, don't mention winvdig on the mac
_ include a separate video class to handle just playback
_ video playback can be much faster if not messing with pixels
_ could instead use texsubimage in opengl, etc
_ only supports tint() (to set alpha or color) and drawing? just drawing?
_ stop button won't kill a video sketch (bug 150 example does this)
X although ESC seems to work? (not sure, didn't test)
_ or audio won't stop even after hitting stop
_ when an exception comes through during cameraEvent, not printed

_ instead of "show sketch folder" method, use:
The com.apple.eio.FileManager now has two new desktop interaction methods, revealInFinder(File) and moveToTrash(File).

You can use moveToTrash() to move a file to the most appropriate Trash directory for the volume that contains that file.
_ setup() and draw() are not bold on osx (10.4)

_ (i.e. we really need those replacements for JOptionPane)
_ track down error in PdeCompiler for message parsing
_ was missing the error about a package being gone
_ can comment out /System/Library/ as a test
_ put stdout/stderr into ~/Library/Logs

LATER
_ rename location is awkward, do it on the tab?
_ method of including/excluding data files in the JAR
_ or at least a boolean for the whole folder?
_ should open() not return a Process object? (exec() instead?)
_ pro: can write out error messages (or output)
_ con: loses cross platform ability
_ but: open() is platform specific anyway, ppl can use exec()
