[Pythoncard-users] Re: Volunteer proof-reader(s) wanted.

[normanwinn <nor...@on...>]

Hi,

In making an attempt at the proof reading (here's somewhere where my 
naive Python state is actually useful) I found myself running the 
resource editor to check out the text. I found some issues.

Platform Windows XP, laptop 1400x1050 screen resolution
PythonCard version: 0.8.1
wxPython version: 2.6.1.0
Python version: 2.4

Here they are:

1. My resourceEditor Property Editor window isn't sized properly. The 
'Update' button is cut off, both bottom and right. This is probably a 
tiny thing to correct but, as it is something that a beginner hits right 
off, it might/must discourage some.

2. I created a Dialog Template and edited one or two properties. I hit 
'Update' and previewed my dialog. It hadn't changed. I then closed the 
resourceEditor and saved my work. On re-opening it my changes were 
there. Is this correct behaviour? I just worked it out. I have to save 
first and then I see my changes. Doesn't the 'Update' button suggest it 
does this? Might actually be nice to have 'Preview before' and 'Preview 
with changes' buttons. Which would kind of lead to an 'Undo' feature. 
I'm probably wandering into Pythoncard 2.0 territory but the neat way 
the resource is stored would appear to make a multiple resource 
'Undo/redo' straightforward to implement.

3. When I click the 'Show Desktop' icon on the Windows system tray, 
everything disappears correctly. When I then just want to look, say, at 
Alex's work in the browser, the resourceEditor components show up as 
well. Is this a Windows TM issue?
(Oh, how I miss 'Hide others' as on the Mac)

---------------

I have got myself diverted from proof reading. Will wait to get shot 
down on my comments before adding more,

Norman
