[ALLY] "new" experimental version of /View for Amiga ?
[1/6] from: peoyli:algonet:se at: 11-Aug-2000 17:05
Hi,
I have noticed that just about every other platform except the Amiga
have had updates to View on the experimental releases page..
When will there be _any_ newer version than 0.10.18 available for the
Amiga platform ?
I need the text scrolling in fields and areas promised by version
0.10.19..

We can build experimental releases on most Unix versions (and now
on Windows as well) fully automatically and in parallel on all
machines. Just a few mouse clicks, followed by some waiting... On
all other platforms building experimental releases takes quite a
bit of manual work.
Until we have those remaining tasks automatized experimental releases on
AmigaOS, BeOS, MacOS, QNX, Elate etc. will have to occur less frequently
(usually once every few weeks or so). Sorry for that, but we cannot
afford to spend all that much time on experimental releases when there
is so much other important stuff to do :).

Hi,
I would appreciate if you would like to write that work around. It's
the horizontal scrolling I need, so I can see what I'm typing in the
fields, I have a solution for the vertical one (and also a better
working slider knob than those that are used everywhere).
I also need (in preferred order):
· some way to reactivate the input field
· to have the slider knob moving downwards as the text box fills
· (really not important, but nice) - change the scroller knob's size
to be relative to the visible/total lines
Wouldn't it be possible to use the code from a newer version of View
instead of writing new code ?

ok, I will try that (again), hopefully with more satisfaction this
time (last version I tried was 1.3.0)..

Hi,
If you can't wait for the text scrolling, let me know I will write a work
around for you (or tell you how to do it), but it won't be pretty (depends
whether or not arrow key events are intercepted or not on the Amiga)
It will be a waste of time really, if you can wait.
Cheers,
Allen K

About the slider, you may want to check out
http://web.tiscalinet.it/scroller-styles.r
You can change the knob size and position at any time with the
provided functions.
Still lacking documentation (coming soon, I hope).
Regards,
Gabriele.
