[Fxruby-users] One last cry for help... :)

[Hal F. <ha...@hy...>]

Hi, guys...

I abandoned work on Tycho about six weeks ago because of Fox problems I
couldn't seem to get around.

But after looking at GTK (which doesn't do MDI) and wxruby (which is
apparently based on GTK), I now think I may end up back in Foxville
after all.

Any help with these problems is appreciated...

Here's the link:

   http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/451/tycho-0.0.0.7.tgz

Here's a quick-start:

   tar zxvf tycho-0.0.0.7.tgz
   cd tycho
   mkdir -p exper/data   # Create dir manually, oops
   ruby mkdata.rb        # Create fake data tree
   ruby tycho.rb         # Now run the app

Now, there are two problems...

1. New notes (MDI children) don't show up immediately (and I *am*
    doing a #create, at least I think I am)

    To reproduce:
      a. Go into the tree, expand the "Work stuff" branch
      b. Click on the "Interesting work" topic
      c. Hit the "New note" button
      d. Give it any title when prompted
      e. Notice that an empty note does NOT appear on the right. Why??
      f. Now switch topics -- click on "Boring work"
      g. Now switch back to "Interesting work"
      h. Now the note is there and all is well.

2. Also: Clicking around in the tree gives me errors like
      FXRbGetRubyObj(this=0x08eff288) returns non-Qnil
    over and over -- once per click maybe? What's wrong here?


Thanks,
