New Mini vMac Alpha: March 15

Post by ClockWise »

So many updates to Mini vMac these days that I can't keep 'em all straight. Here's the word:

" The Build System window now has a progress indicator. The last development version merged in code from ExportFl to support dropping files onto the application icon, and today's version merges in more code for additional features. The progress indicator at the bottom of the window can display information about what is going on. Clicking on it is equivalent to choosing the “Go” command from the File menu. The Build System can now potentially allow the user interface to remain functional while processing. But calls have to be added to the processing code to allow this, calls that report progress and can yield time to the user interface code.

The Build System now supports drag and drop (when the drag and drop operating system software is present) onto its window, which has equivalent function to dropping a file on the application icon.

The Build System has a new “Import” command in the File menu, which has equivalent function to dropping a file on the application icon.

The Build System has a new “Export” command in the File menu, which saves the window’s contents to a new file, that the “Import” command can read. The new file has the creator set to the Build System, so double clicking on the file will work. The Build System application defines an icon for the files it saves.

It does not make sense to combine the build options “-magnify 1” (to start with magnification on) and “-mf 1” (to disable magnification), and the Build System now prevents this."
