Hi
I see the list is very busy and active setting the basic organisation. I
would like to put some idea forwards in regard of the conception of
FreeCard, which as I understand will be very very close to HC.
1) Palette, Dialog and Alerte (read PDA)
PDA are windows placed on diffent system layers, but which are made of
similar components as stack are made. The PDA-commands could be Hypertalk
ones (which can be debugged), since most of the command are not longer time
critical.
I would propose to structure FreeCard such a way, that PDA are originally
little stacks. The stack main dialog would contains buttons to choose
between one kind of PDA to be made with the stack.
Even PDA of FreeCard could correspond to tinny stack, which can be
modified by the user, also I would strongly recommend a basic setup.
I am talking here about an additional dimension of freedom using FreeCard.
2) Improve the stack used as plug-in (start using)
it would be good to have the possibility to force the parth hierarchy
through a list of stack, which would be defined in the stack dialog window.
This make programming more easy, especially when yo have more than one
stack family open at a time and when each family has a set of stack in use.
I frequently use stack family placing the scripting in "in use" stack
3) Please introduce a stack container similar to the one for buttons and
bg (shared bg field). The only stack container is the script. But script is
not to stack data, but primarely scripts.
The list could be more exhaustive, as you know yourself. Well what can you
say about a so aged good product.
Sincerely
Jean-Jacques Wagner
