Hi,
just wanted to let you know that I just created my first stack :-)
I still have some work to do, but tonight I finished the basic workings of
XStackFile. What is left to do is:
- Add commands to change an object's contents once it has been created
(mainly copy and paste work)
- Add accessor functionss to XStackFile that perform endian conversion
when needed
- Add some smart logic to determine when to work in RAM and when to stream
from disk
- Do some testing with stack files on locked disks
- Add support for getting at card-specific data for background fields and
buttons (text, styles, highlight, selection etc.)
- Add a command to XBlockFile that copies a whole branch of the block
hierarchy into another block file. This will be used for implementing
copying of buttons, fields, cards, etc.
Once that is finished I will probably be able to write a cool XCMD to
access XStackFile from HyperCard, and then we can begin attempting to
export stacks and do all the great things Alain has planned for FreeUI.
Maybe I can get more work done tomorrow evening and on sunday.
Cheers,
-- M. Uli Kusterer
