- Sub: Re: Script manager…
-
- Tseung,
-
- MacApp 2.0 is essentially Script manager compatible. However, there are still a
- few bugs left here and there. One that I know of: if the label string of a
- TPopup is larger than its frame, the string is truncated in a way which will
- not work with multi-byte character systems.
-
- I believe that the reason why this is so is that developers in general, and
- MacApp developers in particular don't pay enough attention to the script
- manager compatibility issue. This results in less testing, less bug reports,
- and less robust code in MacApp.
-
- I really think that the script manager approach is flawed, because it is an
- optional goodie. It should not be possible to go without it. One simple
- example: in introductory classes to Mac development, it should be taught as
- equally basic together with Quickdraw, the Resource Manager, and the Memory
- Manager.
-
- Hoping that he future will change, I remain,
