Hallo Fred van Stappen, vous ecrit au Wed, 24 Aug 2022 12:58:44 +: > How are you? Well, alive and working... Ok, I'm rather well for current circumstances, but some more busy with customer activities than I'd expected, so there's not a whole lot of overtime for other things. > Thanks for your kind words. > My computer ( with all the hard-disks backup ) did not re-appeared That's bad, but, I'm afraid, to be expected. And I suspect this also applies to the other things you lost through the theft. I hope you get at least some compensation. > yet ,-( But I still have a Rpi working for responding to mails. These things are quite versatile. I have one running to oversee a PV system, and aside from that provide some in-house web service. > Great all the work you have done, do you have now a GitHub account? Well - it DID take it's time. No, I don't have a GitHub account, and probabely won't get one. I might, though, try GitLab, with another project not connected with Pascal or even PCs at all. For the msegui developments, I'l put them on my web site when I think they're ready for release, and give notice here. (BTW, as this list is rather dried out by now, do you have an estimate how many people might still use msegui? If any, that is...) > I am out of the game for developping at the moment ( apart with the > Rpi) but I will buy a new laptop in September. Good luck with that, and success for getting it to work quickly. > Have a perfect end of summer. Thanks, same to you. Well, yes, summer's coming to its end already, just about 4 months left till Christmas... Have a perfect autumn, at the very least! -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) --- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.

Hello Sieghard, Nice to read you! How are you? Thanks for your kind words. My computer ( with all the hard-disks backup ) did not re-appeared yet ,-( But I still have a Rpi working for responding to mails. Great all the work you have done, do you have now a GitHub account? I am out of the game for developping at the moment ( apart with the Rpi) but I will buy a new laptop in September. Have a perfect end of summer.

Hallo Fred van Stappen, are you still here? (And what about computer work, and your mishap?) I did "a bit" of fiddling with translation functions, the gettext stuff and a little pertaining to dialogs. Main things are, I reworked the mo4stock unit to be able to use a "stock" set of predefined translation files in addition to the "usual" application provided ones, in order to allow for a consistent set of standard caption, hint and several other uses of text items. In addition, it can load the translation files from several places, one of them a completely user defined path. The "stock" path is restricted to the "~/.msetools/lang" directory and possibly the system locale path only for now, but could be extended to allow for use of a special directory within the msegui (library?) installation tree. I also reconsidered the "formscanner" unit, mainly because I attempted to make the "msegit" (and possibly "msespice") utilities work with the current msegui & fpc versions (and allow for localization of them). "Out of the box" at least "msegit" was a bit reluctant, as it refused to save its position and size, although this was obviouly planned to be possible. There seem to have been breaking changes in the state file handling since these utilities were created and packaged with msegui. "msegit" also provoked an extension to the "formscanner" unit that might also benefit other projects, such as your "ideU", the ability to also translate table headings and "fix columns". These couldn't be handled previously, as they are constructs unrelated to the regular set of components, similar to string containers or menu items. I also thought about creating a utility for easy selection of the "stock" text items that are available, perhaps even integrable into the ide object inspector. But I never did something like that yet... In addition, I invented a couple "standard" dialogs, like a generic find & replace dialog, a language dialog and made an attempt at a font dialog. But they're not really finished yet. I hope you're well and at least found compensation for your severe loss lately. -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) --- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
