#16 Informational error when opening text file

[Greg Dunn]

Error displayed when attempting to open a file in a locked directory (standard text file). File name was "Install.notes.txt" and it was in DOS format with line terminations CR-LF. Error text reads "There was a BAD problem loading 'Install' mode: Invalid command name "colors::registerr". After accepting the dialog, the file opened normally - but a line beginning with "# Adobe" was colored blue. The file appears to be standard 7-bit ASCII text with no embedded nulls or 8-bit characters.

Unable to recreate the error with subsequent attempts at opening the file, or similar CR-LF files with embedded # prefix text.

There was indeed a typo in install mode: colors::register was misspelt colors::registerr.
I've fixed this and committed to the repository (rev 1003). Could you update your copy and try again ? The command to update is AlphaCocoa > Update AlphaTcl > Developer Checkout.

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.

Thanks for trying. I'll investigate what's going on with this install mode. It has not been revised yet and is anyway an old Alpha mechanism which has not been updated for years. It should not even be triggered by your file: this happens just because the filename contains the word Install although this file obviously ought to be in text mode. I'm going to neutralize it temporarily.

[Bernard Desgraupes]

The install mode is obsolete and has been put aside. This fixes this ticket.
