[Fxruby-users] [ANN] fox-tool - interactive gui builder for fxruby

[meinrad r. <mei...@gm...>]

hi fellows,

i am proud to be able to release a preview of "fox-tool" which is an 
interactive gui builder for fxruby.
i have used it for the gui of my project at work, so i know it is fit 
enough for a preview. i think it is stable enough for you to play around 
with it (you will find some examples in the "examples" sub directory). 
while the core features are implemented there is still much missing and 
lots of little bugs to fix.


you can download the preview at:
	http://www.rubyforge.org/projects/fox-tool

there is a new baken home page including a users guide at:
	http://fox-tool.rubyforge.org

cheers,
- henon

p.s.: i didn't have time yet to test it on unix, so please let me know 
how it goes there.

Hey, wow! Looking forward to using it. I'm trying to get some other 
people at work to use fox/fxruby/ruby, and a tool like this could be 
very helpful.

One problem so far: some of the file names on disk are capitalized, but 
referred to in lower case from the program. I guess it doesn't matter to 
windows, but unix is picky that way....

i will fix this at once as i have also changed all newlines to unix style.
i am going to change the development platform to debian linux, but i am 
not quite at home there yet, so it will last some time until i manage to 
install fox and fxruby hence getting to test it there.

joel: thanks for the feedback!

(this describes how i feel when using unix: i know the advantages, but i 
can't profit from them at once)
