Inside Shoes 2

Awesome, especially the rubygems integration.

I have a small question though. Would the font feature work with font files on the Internet? Just in case the user doesn’t have the font with them.

Very nice, sir. The more playful love child of terse and loquacious. Installing on Windows now. Any idea when we might see the Ubuntu package catch up?

Yay, another great release =)

Now all i need is comprehensive documentation to cover such features as widget creation and multi-url application.

celebrus: That’s a very good idea you have there. I guess we’ll see about that.

brainopia: And docs for the setup blocks and packager. I haven’t poured too much time into those, as they aren’t essential to Hackety Hack. There is still so much do.

That’s great. Congratulations, _why. One small issue: shoes -p isn’t working for me.

$ uname -a
Linux zen 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU /Linux

$ ./shoes2.run -p
Unrecognized flag : -p
Makeself version 2.1.5
…

Antonio Cangiano: With the .run, you’ll need to do:

 $ ./shoes.run -- -p

But I’ll see if I can work that out for the next release.

That worked. Thanks.

So, Policeman instead of Murder, eh? The plot thickens…

Do I automatically get new shoes when they are released, or do I have to go looking for my latest pair?

Did I miss Grapes?

A small bug report:

Shoes won’t run for me on OSX if I drop it in a directory with spaces. It’s fixed by quoting $APPPATH in line 4 of shoes-launch. Maybe something for the next release?

be cool if sqlite was bundled inside

great release! thanks

lmz: Yes, okay.

kam: It is. Hpricot, JSON , and RubyGems are also included.

I’m playing around and after an hour of debugging found out that:

lnk=link("SOME TEXT") debug(lnk.text==“ SOME TEXT ”)

returns false. because, it comes out that @lnk.text is an array (not a string). so i have to reference my link’s text link like @lnk.text.values_at(0) (sorry, textile…) .
is this how it’s meant to be?

just as I was starting to get scared I had to learn WX, FOX , Qt (I even experimented with Apollo – a sort of Delphi-Ruby integration – thinking of using Delphi as a GUI -tool) I came across Shoes. thanks a ton for (sharing) it!

I miss a button.visible? method … Only way I can think of for keeping track of the button’s hidden/shown state is by using a global variable for each button, but don’t quite like the idea of it…

Hey, did you see some dude made a 3D gpu back end for cairo?

rwms, can’t you monkeypatch in the method?

great work _why! …

…however…

I tried the activerecord with shoes example from the shoebox [http://the-shoebox.org/apps/76] and other of my own and in both cases i get a “no driver for sqlite3 found” error, I’m sure it is my fault but can’t figure in which way.

Would thank any clue :)

“I haven’t poured too much time into those, as they aren’t essential to Hackety Hack.”

Nice to hear that you are still planning to continue with Hackety Hack. Having heard almost nothing butt info on Shoes lately, I was starting to wonder…

Btw, any idea when we can expect the next release of Hackety Hack?

Keep up the good work!

I can’t open the cover pdf in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, it very helpfully states There was an error opening this document (15)

Hopefully this version will fix https. I can’t connect to https sites currently and it gives errors like method closed? not found in protocol.rb.
Please help

Thanks for all you’ve contributed, another great piece of code to take apart

test

Where may I submit a bug? :P

So I totally missed this announcement. If only I hadn’t! It came on my birthday and would have made me happy.

Instead, I resorted to singing to myself as I made my way down the dark and cold street home.
