Raw Blame History

0075 pde
X backported to 73
X change horizontal offset to 5 instead of 4
X yet another tweak to the message() function in PdeRuntime
X add -target 1.1 to all the library make entries
X find/replace
o add support for hitting 'ESC'
o option to ignore or match case
X when hitting 'find', select the text in the field
X add extra space to exterior of find (especially on windows)
X fixes to the horizontal scrollbar
X still not perfect, but some tweaks for improvement
X cosmetic fixes
X is PdeEditorHeader one pixel too tall
X move the tabs over just slightly
X put 'play' on a SwingWorker thread
_ not sure if this is working or not
sketchbook/prefs location
_ read from registry key to get the proper name for these folders
_ also find some way to do this on the mac
_ on non-english windows (or at the broad) these will be named differently
_ http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=221837&sd=RMVP
_ or is there a proper way to do this with java params?
_ move to ~/Application Data/Processing for windows
_ and ~/Library/Processing for macosx
_ and ~/.processing for linux
_ if it can't write prefs here, try creating a subfolder inside p5
_ and if that fails, then tell the user that they suck
_ prompt for sketchbook location on linux
_ or on mac/pc if it can't write anywhere else
_ creating sketchbook / lab situations
_ test to see if it's possible to write to "My Documents"
_ if not, should bring up a prompt asking where to put sketchbook
_ also put something in lib/preferences.txt for default location
_ this way a course admin can change the default location
_ need to check if volume is read-only, notify and quit if it is
_ people are trying to run off the disk image
_ actually that should be fine..
_ but make sure the prefs location can be written
_ need to pay attention to when running from read-only drive
_ reported by brandenberg
_ "p5 will launch from the disk image, but will
_ not draw the sketch name bar doesn't appear"
_ bring back "rename" ?
_ 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)
_ opening up sketch folder may be extremely slow
_ preproc: making all functions public that have no specifier
_ this will make draw() etc all much easier
_ as well as the library events
_ focusGained/focusLost was added..
_ basic sample audio playback needed for p5
_ what's up with int() -> toInt() conversion?
_ hack to not use console on the code folder
_ no errors will propogate, but it should run fine
_ lib/build should not be a subfolder of p5
_ p5 environment installed to /Applications on lab machines
_ instead use a temp folder
_ maybe when running on lab machines in that case, always java mode?
//
PROBLEMS FOR NEW USERS (workshop)
_ making it easier to draw shapes
_ missing semicolons - better error message
_ "unexpected token void" -> "You're mixing dynamic and static mode"
_ forgetting the quotes around strings
_ separate reference for /dev version
_ angleMode(DEGREES) -> mistyped keywords, caps being wrong
MESS TO SORT
_ subfolders in the 'data' directory don't work
_ make sure that the preproc stuff gets built once
_ especially straight out of cvs
_ also out of cvs
_ check for necessary tools to be installed
_ zip, unzip, jikes, etc
macosx
_ resize box intrudes on the scroller for the console area
_ horizontal scroller is always present
_ allow to use doubles on casting -- particularly for Math.cos() et al
_ ctrl-tab to switch between tabs
_ make notes about preproc
_ subclasses need to use "public void keyPressed" not "void keyPressed"
_ round() is not colored
_ add serial.last() to api
_ also bring back serial event via reflection
_ "save as" shouldn't show save as dialog for sketches
_ unless that's the current mode that's being used
_ "new midlet" option.. keeping things open for midlet projects
_ track loadImage() with filenames that are inconsistent
_ i.e. mixed case filename in sketch is different in windows
_ but when uploaded to a unix server causes a serious problem
_ use canonicalPath to flag possible problems
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Proce55ing_software_bugs;action=display;num=1096508877;start=5
_ mouse wheel broken in the text editor? (windows jdk 1.5?)
_ make font builder vertically resizable
_ 200 pt font hoses things / hides buttons
_ save caret position when switching tabs
_ add mnemonics for menus (alt-f to open 'file')
_ if additional tab is "public" class.. then make external?
......................................................................
casey notes
_ sketches no longer require a "data" folder
_ "draw" is not highlighted as a keyword.. other keywords?
_ draw(), PGraphics(), NO_DEPTH_TEST, PMovie(), PMovie.repeat()
_ PClient(), PClient.available(), PClient.read(),
_ PServer(), PServer.dispose(), PServer.write(), attach(), length
_ example that uses loop/noLoop, or redraw?
_ talk to creas about making html files for bugs, readme, revisions.
_ or how they should relate to the 'faq'.. readme -> faq?
_ make a sketch that shows loading from the web
_ make another sketch that shows loading from a file
_ nanoxml problems with manifest
_ make exit() and/or size(0, 0) work for scripts
libraries
_ if videoEvent exists, don't auto-read?
_ though for serial this would only grab the last byte
_ video bug on osx? an error message when quitting video sketches:
java.io.IOException: Bad file descriptor
_ at java.io.FileInputStream.readBytes(Native Method) etc... ).
_ how to queue lib events until the end of loop
_ call them inside post()!
_ bring back some form of beginSerial/beginVideo
_ openSerial(), serial()..
_ should it prompt or use the first available if none specified?
_ serial - if null serial port name, prompt for one
_ if "" for name, use the default / first in the list
_ run library destroy after hitting 'stop'
_ quicktime audio doesn't stop after hitting 'stop'
_ weirdness external stop not calling stop(), just finished = true
_ properly handle non-ascii chars in p5 folder name
_ or at least warn the user to install somehwere else
_ track down the cause of the processing.exe not starting bugs

_ different name for 'lib' folder because of libraries folder
_ implement new version of history
_ make history folder, and a zip (not gz) file for each entry
_ history causing trouble - super slow with a huge sketch
_ could instead be gzipped and appended to history.dat
_ along with another file that is actually a table of offsets
_ no need to make the thing a gzip stream
_ checkbox on menu for 'record history' ?
_ history converter option?
_ only first 20 entries visible?

hanging bug
to try: 1) don't use a bufferedreader.. just read it and then use a
buffered reader around the byte array 2) don't do anything with the
input, and just read it off without signalling message()
* it may be something to do with the editor consoles. try shutting off
output to the console and see if it'll still crash.
* most likely related to io streams to the external java process. when
run via a disconnected process, using "cmd /c start java", the thing
will never hang. in that instance, the process terminates almost
immediately, and no i/o needs to happen (since it's a cmd prompt that
never shows up).
* it could also be a graphics sync bug that just gets more testy
because the environment, a second java process, is running at the same
time. mis.newPixels() may hork since it's over in the applet's thread,
and it might be calling repaint() or Toolkit.sync() to update the
image on-screen.
* shows up on key presses.. not sure if this is because of the actual
key press, or if it's because they're often accompanied by a println()
* blank spaces in filenames/parent folder often cause trouble.. not
sure if related. same for PATH and CLASSPATH.
* some virus scanning software, particularly older NAV versions cause
the trouble.

_ compiling - main file is a .java not a .pde
_ also where no root .pde file with the same name.. (i.e. video)
_ on "new library" fill in the default code for the lib

FRY
My grab of examples/libraries that I'd like to make. Most of these are
things I've already written in some form or another, but need to take
the time to package up and release.
_ example showing quicksort code
_ and how to implement/use as an inner class
_ arcball
_ joystick
_ particles (from multip?)
_ phyics & collisions
_ look at the 'havoc' physics library
_ java3d classes for vec3f and matrix
_ quicktime exporter or image sequence export
_ fairly quick--just use experimental code from dbn
_ more advanced splitting of files into rows/cols uses another class
_ other class also has concept for random access of lines
_ by storing the line positions, can access without loading all
_ into memory because some files will be too large
_ read table/csv formatted data into a matrix
_ pseudo-database format version of this that stores indexes to file
_ rather than loading the whole thing at once
_ history.. add my diffs sketch (as a plug-in)
_ could just include a compiled version of the diff app, ala jikes
_ something about using regexps in p5
_ wrap up oro for simple matching
_ (as alternative to the sun classes.. link to those in the docs)
_ method for file handling, recursive walk-through a directory
_ file i/o: file listing util that leaves out . and ..
more random thoughts
_ stroke picker
_ just lineweight, so don't bother.. use constants palette instead
_ font picker
_ same thing, just quickly generates fonts on the fly and applies them
_ need to look at matlab's visualization tools
_ arcs, better 'color' object
_ take everything in perl cookbook, and make easy to do with p5
_ database access and reading large files are always hangups
_ support capabilities of matlab's visualization tools
_ charting/labeling primitives.. excel never quite does it
_ botting engine
_ difficulty of initial grab/analysis of data, that may take some time
_ then needs to be stored and run on multiple times
_ methods for picking colors.. how to color code, limit to 5? gradients..
_ simple way to do tufte-style small multiples on an app
_ function for reporting percent finished (or swing dialog)
_ also for reporting the amount of time remaining
_ loading/selecting a file (or folder), or from command line
_ load large file as lattice (option of whether to keep in memory)
_ how many rows/columns for headings
_ walking through an entire directory, with a handler
_ that throws out the . and .. items
_ that knows about aliases (jdk13)
_ overall contrast/color control (genomevalence for hulk)
_ mac -> vlw (or sbit?) font converter
_ need to also read the fond for metrics
_ general bitmap font editor, see what chars are in font, etc
