[Alphacocoa-devel] AlphaCocoa Preview Release PR6

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi all,

I have just uploaded a new development release of AlphaCocoa. This is the PR6 release (version 9.0a6). This is the summer harvest. 

See at the end of this message, the main changes contained in this new release. Most of the effort has been concentrated on the revision of the AlphaTcl library: 58 modes (out of 69) have been revised, 11 menus (out of 18). In the core, macros have been implemented, handling of encodings has been improved. 

If you had previously downloaded another preview release, make sure you replace it entirely by the new one (in particular if you keep a copy for updates as explained in TN #1: How to update the core). 

Please, read the release notes which will be displayed the first time you launch AlphaCocoa and can be accessed later from the Help menu. 

Here is the URL to download the disk image: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alphacocoa/files/PR6/AlphaCocoa-9.0a6.dmg.zip/download (28.52M) 

The MD5 checksum is: 7132b66370cd4779d5e2d19e8cd2f0d1 
The SHA1 checksum is: 105170a7aafd04ba737e687dc7c97c5427a4d427 

Don't hesitate to post bug reports, even if they concern a missing functionality which still has to be implemented. Bug reports are essential to keep track of all the deficiencies. See Alpha's Bug Tracker. 

Thank you for trying AlphaCocoa. 
Cheers, 
Bernard

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi Joe,

thanks for your message. 
I think all these encoding issues have now been solved and I am about to release the PR6 version (no later than tomorrow).
Please check again with PR6 to see it it solves your problems.
Cheers,
Bernard

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] Use of old Alpha (MacRoman) files

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi Joe,
Thanks for reporting this. The handling of encodings had been considerably improved recently and hopefully this kind of problems should be fixed now. AlphaCocoa is able to edit and save files in UTF8 or macRoman or Latin1 (and many othe es). You do not have to convert them before editing. Please wait for Preview Release PR6 which is due beginning of next week. 
Cheers,
Bernard

[Alphacocoa-devel] Use of old Alpha (MacRoman) files

[Joe M. <joe...@ui...>]

I’ve just downloaded AlphaCocoa PR5.  First of all, enormous thanks to Bernard for this great piece of work.

I am using it with OSX Yosemite. I have aproblem trying to use my old Alpha files code in MacRoman. I can open them through the open dialog selecting the proper encoding, but if I modify them I cannot save them. I get a “The specified text encoding isn’t applicable” error message. I understand that to use old files with the new Alpha I must convert them to UTF-8. That’s OK, because it is something I should be doing anyway.

So I convert a file from MacRoman to UTF-8 using iconv form the terminal. I can open it, but if I modify it and then try to save it, I get the same error message. Is this a bug I should document, or am I doing something wrong?

Best regards

J. Miro

Hi all, 

I have added a new Question & Answer explaining how to perform incremental searches in a document window with AlphaCocoa. The Find Bar is a cool new feature and is more interactive than the usual Find dialog. 

Here is the link: QA #3: How to do incremental searching in Alpha ?

[Alphacocoa-devel] AlphaCocoa Preview Release PR4

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

I have just uploaded a new development release of AlphaCocoa. This is the PR4 release (version 9.0a4). 
  
It is an intermediate upgrade but important changes have been made in the font specifications which require the core to be rebuilt. This is why it seemed easier to make a new release. 

See at the end of this message, the main changes contained in this new release. A lot of work remains to be done... 

If you had previously downloaded another preview release, make sure you replace it entirely by the new one (in particular if you keep a copy for updates as explained in TN #1: How to update the core). 

Please, read the release notes which will be displayed the first time you launch AlphaCocoa and can be accessed later from the Help menu. 

Here is the URL to download the disk image: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alphacocoa/files/PR4/AlphaCocoa-9.0a4.dmg.zip/download (28.45M) 

The MD5 checksum is: 3884c6b10a78b8df2c7b14a9f2ffc4ba 
The SHA1 checksum is: c7dacb9bdaa8ec689651d31629a4b5124cf3dc16

Thank you for trying AlphaCocoa.

[Greg D. <gre...@in...>]

Yes, that's what I did and it does fix the issue.  I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking a step in the build process which would have taken
care of this automatically.  Thanks again!

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #31 Search/replace functionality partially broken in 9.0a2

[Bernard D. <bde...@gm...>]

Greg,

sorry for this error, here is the solution. The new icon printer.icns was added a few days ago and is there inside Resources/Images/Icons 
but you must install it inside the bundle. Here is the easiest way to do so:
in a terminal window,  change directory to the sources folder (the one containing Core/, Docs/, etc) and type the following command
    make install-icons

That should fix the problem.

Cheers,
Bernard

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #31 Search/replace functionality partially broken in 9.0a2

[Greg D. <gre...@in...>]

Thanks for fixing this!  Search/replace now seems to work well.

I did a new pull and build (including updating Alphatcl), and got a "package activation error" due to the inability to find "printer.icns" which
deactivates the toolbar.  Here is the log detail:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jun 22 10:38:36 EDT 2016
can't find icon file printer.icns
    while executing
"error "can't find icon file ${resID}.icns""
    (procedure "icon::createMenuIconForID" line 21)
    invoked from within
"icon::createMenuIconForID $resID"
    (procedure "icon::createMenuIcon" line 7)
    invoked from within
"icon::createMenuIcon printer"
    (procedure "toolbar::initializePackage" line 35)
    invoked from within
"toolbar::initializePackage"
    ("uplevel" body line 3)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 {
    # Initialization script.
    toolbar::initializePackage
}"

I copied the current version of "printer.icns" directly into the app package and all was well.  Did I overlook something when performing the build?  I
did a "make sf-update" and "make core-update" but the icons didn't propagate into the application during the build.

> Upon entering fullscreen mode (for example by accident), there is no way to come back to normal window view. The correct escape route would be to put the cursor to the top edge of the screen, whereby both menu bar and window bar of the window reappears, allowing a click in the non-fullscreen-mode button. In AlphaCocoa, only the menu bar appears, not the window bar, so there is no button to click. (Only escape is to quit Alpha. This works, except that saving first does not.)

[Alphacocoa-devel] AlphaCocoa Preview Release PR3

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

I have just uploaded a new preview release (PR3) of AlphaCocoa. This is version 9.0a3 for Mac OS X 10.9 or greater (Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan). 
  
See at the end of this message, the main changes contained in this new release. A lot of work remains to be done... 

If you had previously downloaded another preview release, make sure you replace it entirely by the new one (in particular if you keep a working copy for updates as explained in TN #1: How to update the core). 
Please, read the release notes which will be displayed the first time you launch AlphaCocoa and can be accessed later from the Help menu. 

Here is the URL to download the disk image: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alphacocoa/files/PR3/AlphaCocoa-9.0a3.dmg.zip/download (27.60M) 

The MD5 checksum is: d72752c708b0603e4fbd89a54587c054 
The SHA1 checksum is: 009fe442845b3e3046ff1e32e49a315ca4c9d455 

Don't hesitate to enter bugs, even if they concern a missing functionality which still has to be implemented. Bug reports are essential to keep track of all the deficiencies. See Alpha's Bug Tracker. 

Thank you for trying AlphaCocoa. 
Cheers, 
Bernard

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #23 Alpha crashes when selecting "Open Recent"

[Greg D. <gre...@in...>]

I pulled the latest Tcl version from svn and updated the AlphaCocoa build on my local machine.  This bug seems to have been corrected in the source.
Thanks!

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #16 Informational error when opening text file

[Greg D. <gre...@in...>]

I tried that, and it said "just a moment..." and sat there for half an hour; the little spinner didn't rotate either.  I can't tell if it succeeded or
hung - Alpha seems to respond normally after I quit and re-launch but I'm not sure if it actually updated the Tcl code.  :-(  It does the same thing
each time I try.
