As always I've got many little side projects going, distracting me, like
Mozilla Firebird 0.7 came out recently and my favorite skin (Phoenity Flame)
doesn't seem to work so I'm trying to learn to write or modify skins, which
are mostly just CSS, JPG, GIF and PNG files. But to do skin debugging I
might need the DOM inspector, which means rebuilding from source for
windows, or Linux, which I've never done. But I'm multi-tasking and I've
downloaded Spock and VDE so I'll look at them probably tomorrow. :-) Want
to get my skin working this week if possible. Also trying to figure out a
bug in Apache's mod_autoindex, then of course the IOElement PHP I'm supposed
to be debugging and extending too. :-) Got the munchies, kind of tired
too, but it's early. ^^

Subject: [Dynapi-Dev] Visual DynAPI Editor (VDE) PR 2 is now ready
Hello List Folk,
Well I've finished my first version of the VDE (Visual DynAPI Editor) I've
changed the name as Raymond suggested. :) has a nice ring to it.
Well there is a lot of things to talk about. So here goes.
THIS IS ONLY TESTED IN MAC MOZILLA.
And is working fine. So now you know.
I donšt think we should bother with a NS4 or IE4 support.
Just concentrate on making it stabile and fast on fully DOM browsers.
I know that VDE does not work in Mac ie5 and I don't think it will ever....
1) Almost all of the main code is rewritten.
2) I changed the way that the layers are created using a marker script.
Click on the add button, click on the grid and drag the maker to the size
you'd like. Also the it will automatically use the clicked layer as the
parent layer.
3) To go in to edit mode click on the layer and hold still for 400 ms and
you are in edit mode and do your thing then simple click will reset.
4) delete is in checkbox mode so each layer you click will be deleted (and
childern) checkbox will reset when you click on it again.
5) add HTML/content is also in checkbox mode
6) lock is also in checkbox mode
7) copy is in semi checkbox mode click on the button then click on the
layer(s) you want to copy the click on the paste button and then on
Grid/layers you want the copy to past to.
8) Move layers are in checkbox mode click button, then layer, then where you
want to move it to Layers/Grid ( I will change this so that you can add the
layers at a later time)
9) visibility is in checkbox mode '
10) link mode is in checkbox mode click on the layers you want to link
To remove or add click on the button and hold down for 400ms and you will be
in edit mode then you can remove or add. The first layer you click in edit
mode will be the parent and the rest will be linked of removed from/to this
layer. Linked layers will not copy to paste. And I don't know if it should
allow a link to children outside it's parent layer.
11) I have not done save, preview ,save HTML ,save DVE because I would like
a new save system. Here is my idea I would like to use a XML file as the
save file. Then maybe the dynapi and VDE could import as a premade widget
sorta like this.
dynapi.importXML("mywebsite.xml")
And then dynapi creates the project without any code. This is how the IOS
will load all it's components. So I ask you if you have ideas or anything
12) I set up a relative x,y,w,h system so it the boxes where you would write
the size and location you can now use %. "50%" etc..
13) color working but I'm not done with it...
14) Image is not working yet.
15) I included the new spock debuger as main info window. note that I will
probably change some of the info structure, It's sorta in debug mode but I
tried to remove all the stupid stuff that I use :)
Thatšs it for now. Please let me know what you think and PLEASE help me
debug it on windows. If you have a code question mail the list and I'll try
to answer it. But please do USE Spock, if you try to trace a object to see
what it does use use ex:
dump( o.getX() )
IOS library is also done but I'll have not collected all the examples and
code but I will have that for you in a day or so.
You can download it here (at the bottom of the page)

Have fun.
Michael
