World: r3wp

I'm not sure. I have very little time to work on it right now, and 
R3 is coming up with VID+.

Yes, I wonder what that will bring us ...

Yes you can.

view layout [
	text-list data ["hello" "there" "Arie"] with [
			append init [
				iter/feel: make iter/feel [
					redraw: func [face action into][
					iter/color: color

     ;if flag-face? slf striped [iter/color: pick next colors odd? cnt]
					iter/color: white / 4 * (1 + mod cnt 4)
					if find picked iter/text [iter/color: svvc/field-select]
				]
			]
		]
	]
]

The new line replaces the commented line.

I don't like text-list, though. I would rewrite it first.

OK, I will try it. Thanks Anton.

I stand corrected. :-) I should know better than to say "you can't 
do that", because almost anything can be done in REBOL, it's just 
a question of effort and obscurity.

I thought you said it to provoke someone.

LOL

I tried it and indeed that's a nice trick (at least it feels like 
one ;-)

But yes, REBOL always amazes me (as well as the REBOL guru's out 
there)

Must have be subconscious provocation.

:-)

This is odd.. i fired up a .r view script link on a web page, and 
it launched the viewtop in the browser ;)

I seem to remember that was a problem of some version of the rebol 
web plugin.

How does one supress the creation of desktop/local folders?

Unknown, I think.

Unfamiliar with View: Is there a way to have Rebol/View rebuild it's 
local index automaticaly when you add scripts to the folder? It would 
ease the process of getting into the stuff if I could just shove 
a bunch of .r files in there without having to build an index manually 
before running them. Someone must have solved this already, I'm sure! 
;-)

no

wow. any idea why not?

guess no one ever bothered

double wow.

actually I think mine is dynamically generated

view has a GUI? ;)  I normally just use console :)

my index.r is actually a cgi script so it gets generated automatically

not that I've added anything in recent years

I was into the console mostly, but it might be that for teaching 
purposes View would be a smarter choice (beginners in programming)

Oh, then maybe I have to restart View to have it generate the new 
index.r (in local folders)

how about combining viewtop with Cheyenne :)

let Cheyenne do all the indexing for you

wait, Cheyenne... don't remember. Is that a relative to

A

Apache... ?

(small laptop keyboard)

See Cheyenee channel.. rebol based web server

so it is related. ok.

guess no one ever bothered

 <--- probably more like: no one has the time to add that feature. 
 The Viewtop source is open, but it has never been modified.

And it can be done external. write a script to build indexes, launch 
it from desktop after adding scripts, done.

I normally just use console
 ---> I normaly use NOT JUST ONE console:-)

I normally use Tester :-)

There is a script called update_index.r that probably is supposed 
to do this - but it bombs when not finding "desktop/icons".

got it working... it's only a gui to update index.r. It doesn't pick 
up the scripts in the directory automaticallyt.

Denis, yes, I spent a lot of time trying to make viewtop replacements, 
with scripts for updating index.r files.

But I never really finished the work, so I haven't made any big announcement 
- it would probably just waste people's time.

Actually, the index.r updater script works pretty well. I started 
with the idea that I wanted to manually select which files I would 
like indexed and thus publically viewable. I did not want it to automatically 
add files to the index just because they were in a directory.

the ViewTop source ... has never been modified.

not true ... the modifications just haven't been released to the 
public.

(there was always that little thig I wanted to get right ... ;-(

... but my modifications didn't do automatic index.r either ...
