- Edition Sample 2.0.1 beta
- The contents of this folder completely replaces older EditionSample files.
- Adding text edition support. ••• NOTE: This is NOT done, final design
- and implementation of text editions is not here yet. However, I've tried to put
- in all the stubs I think will be necessary, though since the design isn't
- finished some of these will be unneeded.
- What is in:
- You can publish and subscribe text.
- Text edition data is saved and restored with data files.
- What's not in:
- Handling cancel and removal of text section not in yet.
- Clipboard use of text sections not in yet.
- Debugging Text hanlding completely is not done.
- And of course, other clean-up and debugging was done. However, adding text
- complicated some routines, these will be cleaned up in the next blast.
-
- KNOWN Weirdness or bugs
- TextSections may blow up, or otherwise act stupid.
- Text sections can't be on the clipboard yet.
- All the handling of picture editions will be changed in the next version to use the
- same kind of structure as text sections, instead of expanding handles.
- Error handling is not sensible yet.
-
- Edition Sample 1.0.ß2 changes
- Added clipboard support.
- Began adding text support, saving and pub/sub not in yet.
- Cleaned up a nasty memory whack bug in CloseMyWindow.
- Printing is in, including printing from the Finder (via AppleEvents).
- NOTE: When you print from the Finder, you may occasionally get the 'Window Dirty'
- alert, instead of the application just quitting after a print. This will happen if
- a subscription was read when the file opened, i.e. some published data is different
- from the state it was in when the window was last saved.
-
- Edition Manager Sample 1.ß1
- This sample supports these basic traits....
- Supports multiple windows (up to 10)
- Minimal draw program in each window.
- Unlimited ('cept for mem) publish and subscribe for each window.
- PICT format supported in this first pass.
- Save and open files created here.
-
- This sample will grow, it will handle PICTs, TEXT, and a private
- edition type. But I want to have a fully functional unit out for each
- pass (PICT, then PICT/TEXT, then you know) since I think it's more
- important to show the functionality instead of waiting to have an app
- that does everything. Time is of the essence.
-
- Along those lines, this sample IS NOT DONE YET!
- There are variables and functions that don't do anything, and the logic
- has not been optimized, there is not enough error checking.
- And some functions just plain ain't done yet, so some menu items
- don't do anything yet.
- These things will all be fixed in a later version of the sample, keep
- checking AppleLink for a final version.
- So with all those caveats, enjoy.
- ••• NOTE: BalloonWriter INIT is incompatable with a lot of things, and EditionSample
- is one of the incompatabilities.
