Have you identified which spell check service you are going to use? I would assume the service would return the list of misspelled words as a struct. A possible solution for custom dictionaries would be to store the user dictionary locally. Before flagging a word as misspelled, you could discard nodes from the misspelled word struct that match the local dictionary. If this would add significant complexity or executable size, then never mind. ................................... Adam Kalsey ad...@ka... http://www.kalsey.com/ Full of wholesome, crunchy goodness |

Although your ideas are nice, I'm afraid they are not that plausible at the moment. Spell checking is done trough XML-RPC so there is actually an internet connected server that manages the spell check. This method of spell checking is done to keep the blogBuddy executable small and installation simple. So as long as the remote spell checking server does not support adding new words or personal dictionaries the possibility is out of the question. But on the other hand, the F7 shortcut and auto-spell checking on send should really be implemented.

I like it. Nice and clean. Could we also add user dictionary support with an "Add" option on the spell check dialog? It seems likely that bloggers will have lots of unique terminology that won't be in a standard dictionary. It would improve usability to allow them to add these words to the dictionary. The spell check option should also have a shortcut key. There doesn't seem to be any convention for the keystroke combination for spell check. Microsoft products use F7, but a quick inventory of the apps on my machine finds that no one key is used by multiple vendors. Given the market dominance of Office, F7 seems as good a choice as any. Another nice feature would be to allow the user the option of an automatic spell check on send. Thoughts? ...................................

Hi guys, On the SourceForge project page for blogBuddy I have put together a list of all new features to be included in blogBuddy 0.5 under 'Tasks'. If there are no objections I think we should not add more features for this version. In other news the XML-RPC Delphi module has been holding my development back a bit and I think it has also been causing Jonas some problems. As you saw I sent CodePunk (the developer) an email last night asking for some fixes. Let's hope that works. Finally, I'd like to introduce and welcome a new member to the blogBuddy team; Adam Kalsey.

Hi CodePunk, I came upon another bug in the XML-RPC library just now. When processing a methodResponse for the second time I get an error saying that Item is not a struct. I requesting a struct from an array. I have not been able to locate the exact error but when I process the response for the first time it comes out okay. (See bottom of post for exact methodReponse). I also mentioned the other day two problems; When inserting text into a struct from a methodReponse, < and & are changed to their respective HTML codes when the correct way would be to do it the other way around The IsDataTag method currently returns false on a number of true data tags. I sent you a suggestion a while back to fix this. Oddsson P.s. I'm sending a CC of this email to the blogBuddy-devel mailing list as another member has also been running into these problems. The complete methodResponse: '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><methodResponse><params><param><value><array><data><value><struct><member><name>userid</name><value>14435</value></member><member><name>dateCreated</name><value><dateTime.iso8601>20011010T11:05:48</dateTime.iso8601></value></member><member><name>content</name><value><b>Death wish?</b>'#$D#$A'Drove past my favorite gas station last night.

Guys, This is a sample spellchecking interface I used on a product I was working on the other day. It presents the full text, replacing the supposedly wrong words with input boxes followed by a pull-down with the suggestions. If the user chooses a suggestion from the pull-down, the input box is replaced with the suggestion and the pull-down immediatelly returns to the default position "-Sugestao-". Clicking on "OK" posts the contents of the input boxes, not the pull-down boxes. I hope I made myself clear. Gonna work on that macro thing (great idea!) later.

Heheh :))) The thing is: I don't thik the space they take is so big to worry about. And since they're signal "task completion", AND the options Post vs. Post & Publish can be easily confused, I think there should be a clear, marked interface section for them exclusively. And bottom right is perfect for that... > Could you please send me your template > as an HTML > document so I can try to locate the bug (this may also be a bug with > blogger.com as Evan has stated).

Oops, it looks like 0.4 is bug laden. Jonas already pointed out two bugs yesterday. 1) Some users had suggested putting the posting buttons in the toolbar to further minimize the space blogBuddy occupies. If you don't like this then I'll move them back; you are the expert! 2) This is a bug, and an easy one to fix :) 3) The XML-RPC module I'm using from codepunk.com has quite a few bugs in it. I have sent them fixes for three bugs already and you may have found another one Bernardo. Could you please send me your template as an HTML document so I can try to locate the bug (this may also be a bug with blogger.com as Evan has stated).

Hello guys, and congratulations on the new release! There were some problems that I'd like to point out: 1) The position of the "Post" and "Post & Publish buttons" was changed... why so? The previous location, bottom right, was more compatible with a "task completion" button, IMHO. 2) Though you can post without entering a password previously (a dialog pops up asking for your password) you can't update your blogs or edit your template. You must enter your password on the "settings" window to access those features. It should be exactly like posting - if I dont have the password, I'll request it in a dialog. 3) I select "Edit/Template" and I get a blank form. Why? That's all so far.

When a window is displayed it is not in the center of the screen (for exampel the window to edit Templates) I think it can be a problem if someone has a very small screen (640 * 480). The Tform property position is set to poDesigned. The best is to show the window in the Screen center the first time and then save the window position. If you are offline and wan't to edit a Template you get a error and the cursor does not return to OldCursor. -- jt _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp |

blogBuddy 0.4 was just released. This release includes a few bugfixes but the only real change from 0.3.1 is that some crude template control has been introduced. So what are you waiting for, go download it. Don't forget to report bugs and feature requests! One last thing; if you have not done it already please consider putting a "Using blogBuddy" icon on your weblog page.

Hi guys, I have decided to release the 0.4 version of blogBuddy even though not all the items in the 0.4 checklist have been addressed. The reason for this is that a number of users have been requesting the Template control via email and I have been unsucessful at trying to display a small form while communicating with the remote site. The release will probably be public in a few hours. Please send me your comments and suggestions.

Hey Marinho, I tried your version of blogBuddy, although I was having a bit of trouble getting the main form to show at first. I'd like to take a minute to comment on your changes; * Skins Manager -- Although I realize skins are a pretty hot issue today (major programs supporting skins include WinAmp, Windows Media Player and Mozilla) it is my opinion that skins do not belong in blogBuddy. The main reasons for this are that skins tend to increase the executable size quite a bit, tend to introduce OS specific code and the fact that I suspect a majority of blogBuddy users do not feel the need to skin their blogBuddy. * Editing commands from the TaskBar icon -- The blogBuddy user interface is meant to be simple and straightforward. I do not feel that more options/commands in the Tray Icon are necessary. * Autorun -- There are a number of ways that run a program automatically each time you log on to your computer. One way, the one you chose, is to put an entry in the \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\...\Run\ key. If this way was to be used then the user would at the very least have to be asked if he wants to have blogBuddy run each time he logs on (e.g. a checkbox in the Configuration Form). But I do not like the registry (as you may have noticed with me using the INI file) so instead I choose to drop a shortcut of the blogBuddy program to my Startup folder (Start->Programs->Startup). This requires no registry settings and is very easy for the user to understand. (It also requires no extra programming whatsoever). * Template control trough files -- This may be a very good idea. Template control will be available in version 0.4 but only form based - not file based. So the users will have to make do with copy/paste for now. But all in all I really love the fact that there are people out there changing blogBuddy to fulfill their needs. Keep up the good work!

Hej Jonas, I could not get the GRAPHICEX library to compile in Delphi 6. It keeps looking for JPG.pas under the CoolTray directory (not GraphicEx) which is rather strange. But judging from your description the AImg Unit sounds very cool! You should probably publish it on the web. After going trough quite a few weblogs I have reached the conclusion that there is not much need for the insert image feature. I therefore think we should put it on "hold" until the need for it surfaces. What do you think?

I think the edit template window is a bit too much like the post (main) window. Won't users get confused? Also, should this window be modal (user can't access main window while editing)? When a user wants to edit a template, he must select the blog to which the template belongs and also choose from a Main template or Archive template.

I know it's rather simple, I can make a much better template editing interface, I believe, but first I'd like to know what's technologically possible from you.

Two features I just thought of: 1) Add scrollbars to the text window. I normally make rather long posts, and I hate having to resize the window to adjust to the text size. I like keeping my blogBuddy small. :)) 2) Add a checkbox "Always open browser in a new window" right next to the "Minimize to system tray" check box. When checked, clicks on "View Page" will always spawn a new browser window instead of using one already open. That's a configuration option taken from Yahoo! Messenger that I find rather good, since users are divided in the "open new window / never open new window" war.

Hi guys, Here is a list of features which need to be implemented for version 0.4: * Indicator when blogBuddy is contacting a remote site (for posting, publishing, getting blogs etc.). I have tried to implement this but have had almost no luck. * Image insert (like hyperlink insert). I think jonas is working on this one. * Template editing. Allowing you to get normal or archive template from remote site, edit them and send them back. The functionality for this is ready, just need some interface suggestions from Bernardo. * Removing of the status bar. With pop-up notifications ala Bernardo there is no need for the status bar. That's about it. Any suggestions or comments?

Hi guys, I just let go of version 0.3.1. This version introduces a lot of changes to the internal code of blogBuddy; Communication with the remote site is now handled by a special class. Configuration is also wrapped by a special class. The user can now select which site to post to, not just blogger.com. There is no longer the need to save the password in plain text. The user is now offered to enter it when needed. Provision for multiple ini files is included, to allow more than one profile. I urge you to take a look at the changelog located at http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=34097&release_id=54568 Download the binary release at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/blogbuddy/blogBuddy-031.zip and the source at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/blogbuddy/blogBuddy-031-src.zip Note that the Codepunk XML-RPC library for Delphi was updated to version 1.5 after I located a bug in the library. So those of you building your own copies of blogBuddy should upgrade as soon as possible. Please report any bugs or suggestions to this mailing list or the SourceForge Project Page. I will be listing the remaining 0.4 issues in a seperate post in just a moment. Keep it up!
