World: r3wp

Maybe provide a unzipped download for the r3-gui as well? So that 
we can directly DO the url?

Ok, that's possible as well. I just wanted to avoid any encoding 
clashes. Will add it. One second.

Ok, done. We will add more stuff like the style browser. I need to 
talk to the guys how to best do it, so that it all works right out-of-the-box.

Great, thanks!

Constructive feedback for current release always welcome.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong...

Why ?

This setup will raise the release frequency of R3-GUI a lot as we 
will use automatic scripts to update it on the server.

Nice, direct DO of r3-gui works fine for me (with custom-built A110 
view).

If you are worried about encoding issues have the web server serve 
.r3 files in binary mode. DO reads the files in binary.

There shouldn't be any unless you use binary compression or a checksum 
without compression.

I meant: There shouldn't be any encoding problems to worry about 
even without that unless ...

Nicolas, the expression:

do %test-framework.r

surely does not behave as you described

(unless you changed the original file)

I see the same behaviour Nicolas describes.

Using the (older) test framework sources published on the RM Asset 
website:

http://www.rm-asset.com/code/downloads/files/test-framework.zip

Aha, that is an old version, OK

We need to update this one too.

Juste re-download R3, r3-gui.r3 on another computer...

nve, you need a "view" build of R3 in order for the GUI to work.

I think I will add the R3 build we use to the web-site as well...

You can either build one from the Hostkit yourself, or use e.g. the 
pre-built one provided by Henrik:
http://94.145.78.91/files/r3/gui/r3.exe
http://94.145.78.91/files/r3/gui/r3lib.dll

I'm going to upload our internal build in a couple of minutes.

Ok, loading r3-gui.r3 is ok now.
Still have failed for test-framework.

Ok, uploaded.

Seems to be better.  But what is final result expected ?

nve, the test framework runs roughly 4000+ tests and reports the

I tried to use SciTe editor to run a simple gui script: rebol [] 
 do %r3-gui.r3 view [button]

What I got in the output pane is: REBOL 3.0 A110 2-Nov-2010/3:56:20
handler added

but no window appeared

running the same script from command console: "r3.exe testgui.r3" 
works just fine. It opens a new console window with the same output 
" REBOL 3.0 A110 2-Nov-2010/3:56:20 handler added" and another window 
showing the button

In Scite, I configured the command Go (F5) as:

command.go.$(file.patterns.rebol)=c:\Users\awi\Documents\rebol\r3.exe 
"$(FilePath)"
so nothing different here

Maybe anyone has a tip how to fix this, I know this is SciTe problem, 
but I wonder whether other editor has the same problem. Thanks!

Add this to your configuration, and you will be able to use Ctrl-5 
to run rebol3. Change the path as needed.
command.name.5.$(file.patterns.rebol)=RunRebol3File

command.5.$(file.patterns.rebol)="C:\usr\local\rebol3\r3.exe" "$(FilePath)"
command.subsystem.5.*=2
command.is.filter.5=1

Cool! Thanks a lot Edgar! I really appreciate this.

Could style browser be updated too? It basically crashes with any 
click I tried to the style's list-box ...

The same occurs here, so we'll have to wait for Bolek to fix it.

Pekr, that's list-box (text-list) style problem. This style is currently 
updated to support more columns than one (called text-table) and 
text-list will be only sub-case of text-table.

The new distribution channel may bring problems like this for regural 
users, at least before BETA is reached. Some developers prefer to 
put changes to SVN only when everything is ready, other developers 
prefer to push changes more often, it might temporarily broke functionality, 
but  it's much more crash-proof strategy.

It's a question to debate if every submit should be a release, or 
if only some special versions should be released, with first option, 
you will get latest release, that may be broken because of we're 
still in alfa-phase, with second option you will get more or less 
working release, but you're definitly going to complain that it's 
not updated too often (even if my estimate of 1-2x week is hit.)

fails for me on any test of mine with  
** Script error: path styl/faced is not valid for none! type

where can I find the style browser for that gui?

thx andreas

i just try it and it gives me that >> do %style-browser.r3

anybody got the same problem ?

xavier - see my previous message and Rebolek's explanation. My take 
is,that it sould be adapted to release, or ppl will find GUI highly 
non-working ...

Thy psychological trick is, that ppl will consider any such visual 
tool being a demo ... the one expecting to work. Prior R3 demo was 
nice app, pity it is not included with the releases anymore ...

The trick in communications is to keep reminding those people that 
this is alpha work in progress and that if they want something that 
works, now, they have to go look somewhere else.

Otherwise, the only option is to shut down completely and not do 
any development work in the open, but only in invisible elitist circles. 
We all know how well that approach has served REBOL in the past.

Prior R3 demo was nice app

, from what I believe, that app served the same purpose as the style-browser. 
Having Carl's R3 GUI being more limited, it could be considered more 
bug free than the current version, thus made a better impression.

well, it did not show single styles. It more showed whole topics, 
so you could see the whole forms with various styles, their setting, 
resetting, etc.  And yes, it was about the impression. I'll wait 
for style-browser fixes - the truth is, that it was never bug free 
:-)

style-browser fixes - the truth is, that it was never bug free

 - the style browser does not have any relevant bugs. the styles have 
 bugs. that's the point of the style browser.
