Good catch. > Why not setting that up as "exile against the beast" display? ;-) I find out in personal use that I do like the ability to browse more information at a single glance, instead of going back and forth from various panes. This said, I am not going to be really active ont he project for a while and all the things I had changed locally and not committed waiting for SF access are now gone. Someone broke into my appartment on Monday afternoon and stole my computer with all my stuff on the hard drive. With barely no external back-up, you can count me out of Scribia for some time (and out of CL for a couple more days as well). I was just wondering about one thing: has anyone ever fixed the fact that Scribia is taking complete control of the Mac while scanning? I have had cooperative behavior for several weeks locally, but since I never committed that, I am not sure it has been rolle din by anyone else. If you don't have that around, a quick (imperfect) fix is to go into the scan folder loop and add those 2 lines there after scanning every file (that is off the top of my head, all my prog stuff has been gone since monday): EventRecord theEvent; WaitNextEvent(everyEvent, &theEvent, 20, nil); the 20 ticks value is quite arbitrary, one can set it to 0 and still get cooperative behavior, but 20 mostly allows one to chat or even move within clan lord with the scanner chugging in the background. That value could be one of the "cooperativeness" preferences. This is assuming the old scanning loop that was in CScribiaApp.cpp for ScanFolder. If someone changed or moved it away, then different code may be required instead. On the long term, better behavior would be to have the scanner in a different thread with no UI by itself, but I had no time to implement that. Have fun, take backups ;-) Geotzou |
