is it possible to obtain rebgui.r with proper white-space?

from the cvs

(if you mean propper formated source)

yes, thanks ...

You have all the single files, so why you need it?

that was question of one of my friends ...

you know, ppl get distracted sometimes by simple things, which complicate 
it a bit ..... - what is the point of new install scheme? what is 
the point of packing it? Those are not my words (althoug I do agree 
with him)

did he know full source is available?

probably not ... I now write longer letter to him, as he thought 
that it is a kind of protecting source code :-)

performance. Once you are used to it, you optimize everything.. a 
single file for installation is good, and while we areat it, why 
not kill all this whitespaces? source is available anyway. (thinking 
loudwith Ashleys voice ;)

as for get-rebgui - problem is with path ... could it be extended 
so that it would save get-rebgui itself into HOME directory, so that 
next-time I simply get-rebgui, instead of going to Dobeash.com and 
looking-up for url?

whitespace? what not to compress it? :-)

i guess he does that too, no? have not looked.

or maybe he really tried a new obfuscation-scheme?

where do you get get-rebgui currently? (messed up my bookmarks)

get-rebgui.r and create-distribution.r are two different things. 
The later creates the rebgui.r file. And yes, whitespaces can be 
stripped and even the whole thing than be compressed.

The former get's the latest stable release with images etc.

how do you guys use get-rebgui? do you download it to your rebol 
directory? Because - in other case, I still struggle with not remembering 
the url to run it ....

I use the cvs..

CVS means external sw usage .... that is for RebGUI devolopers, should 
not be needed for RebGUI users ...

imo it is typical example, how we made simple thing a bit more complicated, 
or I would not met with such reaction ...

http://www.dobeash.com/RebGUI/get-rebgui.rthis could be easily changed 
to store in your own dir.

a trick i started to use is to set view-root to the current directory. 
theni have a %public/ there with all the downloaded stuff nicely 
sorted by server, by using *-thru

Petr, I agree, that get-rebgui.r should download the current directory.

I can't remember the location as well.

hmm, I found varous paths are mentioned in - probe system/options 
.... maybe view-root could be exposed there too? That way rebol developer 
could be sure, where the hell all his files are spreaded around :-)

So please, could I ask for get-rebgui change, to place itself in 
rebol home dir, simply to allow ">> do %get-rebgui.r" with next usage? 
Thanks eventually ...

Petr, go for it and change it.

And show up a requester to let the user choose.

I can, and probably will do so tomorrow, just got back from 3 days 
trip, tired, so just relaxing today ... just dunno if other would 
not object. As for me, I can miss the requester ...

Than add the feature, with command line options or something like 
this. Just provide both ways and let the user choose. There is no 
wrong/right here.

wouldnt download to current directory be sufficient?

yes, it should be ...

maybe I will even download it as-is now, and change also target location 
.... using cache directory does not work for me, I organise "library 
packages" a bit different way ...

maybe then it should check first, if new get-rebgui.r is not awailable? 
Not sure it is needed though ...

Great work guys, just going through all the changes now.

How to change the label font colour?

How to get the label from a selected radio-group ?

radio-group/pane/n/text ...

display "" [
	l: label "Test" font [color: red]
	button "Change" [l/font/color: random 255.255.255 show l]
]

Thanks .. is there going to be a formal syntax description for the 
rebgui dialect ?

This looks useful ...

Cyphre: now you can just change the data content and do show on the 
radio-group like:
my-radio-group/data: ["item1" "item2" "item3" "item4"]
show my-radio-group

Note that it won't react on change of number of items. Just change 
of texts.

FIXED *radio-group: Add a way to select one radio field at run-time
added accesor select-item item [integer!] usage:
my-radio-group/select-item 2
show my-radio-group

note: you can get the selected item using my-radio-group/picked, 
you can get the text of selected item using my-radio-group/selected

rats .. using Cyphre's radio-group.r gives me an error.  I guess 
there must be dependencies elsewhere.

Graham, what exact error are you getting?

just rebuilding ...

** Script Error: Cannot use add on block! value
** Where: action
** Near: set-sizes 2 + guisizerg/data
set-fonts/size
** Press enter to quit...

now this is my code .. but it works with Ashley's radio-group

label "Gui Size" 20 guisizerg: radio-group 30x5 data [2 3 4 5] [ 
           
            ] return

I am asking the user to set the gui size at start up.
