I wonder if the problem is my isp's aggressive caching.  You might 
want to put the version number in the window title

I've updated it about an hour ago ... somewhat strange. Maybe some 
index that wasn't rebuild.

what do you see on rebol.org?

Version in window: definitly the way to go. The script should even 
check that, I'll have that in the next version.

I see 0.1.8

For both files.

Ok, then likely the problem is my ISP caching

rebol.org should have a no-cache directive in their headers

I guess you didn't need all this stress !  :(

No problem with that, I appreciate your efforts in getting it run!

I'm glad you've got it working, Graham. But for me it's really time 
for bed now (2:30 am here :-)

Good bye!

night

Graham, I now realise that it's all my fault: I posted the static 
links to the download page when announcing .-(

One should be better of with the link to the "view script" cgi. Bye!

nope

I just tried it ... if I view it, it says 0.1.8, but if I download 
it, it says 0.1.6

Uh, that's two versions beneath ... I'm sure Gregg or Sunanda will 
have an explanation for that.

Sorry -- no explanation -- I see 0.1.8 when looking at both the source 
and the download on REBOL.org.  Maybe it is caching at Graham's ISP


Graham, you could try using the LDS interface to download the script:
     do http://www.rebol.org/library/public/lds-local.r
     res: lds/send-server 'get-script [menu-system.r]
     print res/data/script

the library interface works fine.

Thanks.

And yet another route, in case of ISP/HTTP/caching problems, is via 
the Rebsite:

REBOL/View / desktop / goto / http://www.rebol.org/library/reb/index.r

Is there a way to work a library interface into the view desktop?

That would be fun.

Someone could write one via LDS -- or wait for LNS which shoudl offer 
similar functionality.

Rebol.org index is on the desktop/public/library

Great! I didn't realize that (or maybe I've forgotten it ... :)

It's just not a very pretty interface ...

And there's no real Search capability in there that I can find...

hey, ChristianE - who are you man? :-) I did not expect so NICE demo 
app!

that is so cool - is it RebGUI, VID based, or complete own View design?

Thanks, Pekr. Like it?

It's VID based

hey, that select-file - with little arrows for scrolling, what style 
is that based upon?

As I told you some days ago, I needed something my co-workers are 
used to ...

it looks really professional.

It's a FIELD with a BTN in it's pane.

well, that is that - I still consider you new with rebol and you 
do it just in few days? It would take me months ;-)

Yes, it is a very pretty application.  The only complaint that I 
have is that it is slow on my computer (1 Ghz, 512 RAM) Have you 
done anything to optimize it yet?

It's hobbistic only. And it took quite some time.

your menu design is new, or Cyphre menu based?

I'm not into optimising for now I'd like to get the script refactored 
first and then profile a bit.

Actually I *tried* understanding what Cyphre did, but ...

I don't know if it is usefull to have sliders in there, but what 
happens if menu is larger than app window, or app window is near 
screen-face border? Will menu wrap to the other side then? What happens 
if you resize main window etc?

No, that's not my league, so based on Cyphre's script I tried my 
own. Actually, no single line left from the inspiration source.

slow? Hmm, I have 1.8, 256MB WinXP and nothing like that?

I spend a whole day with trying to put the menu into real windows. 
Didn't get that right ...

Actually, for each window open Windows put a window icon into the 
task-bar. And currently, I think, you can't monitor the mouse ouside 
of REBOL windows without library calls. Hence the scrolling menus 
*in* the window.

it takes almost a second for any any menu to display and if you run 
your mouse up the menu then any submenus display so it takes 2-3 
seconds for it to pop up each submenu in this demo and then have 
it go away before I can do anything with the rest of the application. 
 Kinda reminisent of javascript menus...

Javascript, uh? No, I don't see that here on 1,5 Ghz Centrino 512 
MB WinXP

It's resonable fast, but as I've said, I'm optimising later.

Actually Ammon it is strange, I would expect at least some minor 
delays, as was case with older Mozillas, but 1GHz 512MB vs 1.8GHz 
256MB is not all that faster, and mine works so fast, that it is 
blink of an eye. Really I can call it realtime ...
