_ don't require an editor window to be open at all times

_ The com.apple.eawt.Application now has a setDefaultMenuBar(JMenuBar) method

_ that sets a default menu bar when no other Frames are open.

_ could check for availability of method

_ and if it's there, don't require people to quit

The com.apple.eawt.Application now has a setDefaultMenuBar(JFrame) method that sets a default menu bar in your application when no other Frames are open. This feature requires your app to use both the Aqua Look and Feel and apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true property to hook up the native menu bar delegates correctly. This long-requested feature should remove the need to create an invisible or offscreen window to simulate the appearance of a true "default" menu bar.

closing this bug, because we'll be replacing the current video library with another sometime later this summer. as such, i won't be doing any more bug fixes on the current video library. in the meantime, we recommend using gsvideo, opencv, or one of the other video libraries that are available.

You can't do that from the AWT event thread. You need to do a -performSelectorOnMainThread to do that on the AppKit event thread.

Please see <http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2005/tn2147.html> for more information, particularly the section about "Calling AppKit from AWT/Swing".

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1570

_ when a conflicting library is found, need to report it

_ altho prolly only when it's actually different (md5hash it?)

_ this seems to be causing a lot of trouble with recent releases

_ (opengl changes and whatnot)

_ jar files like the bad aiexport plugin will cause serious problems

_ need to ignore processing.core classes showing up in other jar files

_ tougher than it looks, because it all depends on what java wants to use

_ i.e. even if not specified, the stuff will be in the classpath

_ need to make classpath code be less promiscuous

_ the order of adding libraries to classpath should be opposite

_ the important local libraries should be first in cp, user contrib later

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321

Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

generally, that error means that something is missing from the

CLASSPATH. the NoClassDefError gives erroneous feedback about *what*

class is actually missing, as of java 1.3+ (yay!)

so perhaps conflicting versions of a library in the sketchbook (solve

this by setting to an empty sketchbook temporarily) or files might be

installed in the CLASSPATH variable or something conflicting in

/System/Library/Extensions.

DOC / Text

_ how to use textMode(SHAPE) with opengl

_ things will be extremely slow (fix later)

_ things will also be very ugly on-screen

_ text being nicer in java2d

_ use createFont() to load the font or use a font from your machine

_ note that createFont() is no good for applets/export to web

_ textMode(SCREEN) for P2D and P3D for nice fast text in screen space

_ currently slow in JAVA2D and OPENGL, but this will improve

_ what is the vlw font file format?

_ shapes from 3D type

_ the way to do it (will improve later) is to use some undocumented features

_ 1) you have to use the OPENGL renderer

_ 2) use textMode(SHAPE);

_ 3) use createFont() (which you already are)

_ this will convert all the shape data from the fonts for writing.

_ it will be *extremely* slow, which is part of why it's not documented yet.

_ but it will work with beginRaw().

PDE - Processing Development Environment

PDE / Warnings

_ proper dialog support

_ http://javagraphics.blogspot.com/2008/06/joptionpane-making-alternative.html

_ two-tiered dialogs for everything - use big font/little font style throughout

_ http://javagraphics.blogspot.com/2008/06/joptionpane-making-alternative.html

_ option to suppress warning dialogs

_ starting with the one about modifying the sketch name for spaces

_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=3

_ the first time someone hides a tab, put up a msg explaining what it does

_ "don't warn me about this anymore"

_ add "don't warn me about this" for sketch renaming

_ make sure renamed version doesn't exist already

_ prompt user before nuking applet or application folders

_ along with a "don't ask me later"

_ include a note that 'applet' folder will get emptied/rewritten

_ or rename the old applet folder to something else? (too messy)

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=61

PDE / Compiler & Preprocessor

need examples

_ Improve detection and handling of missing semicolons

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1036

medium (bugs/features)

_ with additional .pde files, don't allow static mode in front tab

_ e.g. no setup()/draw() block

_ don't allow "for (blah; blah; blah) ;"

_ or if (blah blah blah) ;

_ it's never useful. students can use { } if they want an empty block

_ missing brackets, unmatched brackets

_ examples added to the bug report

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=13

low (features)

_ add support for multiple errors from the compiler

_ actual error may be 4th of 5

_ maybe a dropdown list thing, with the first just shown?

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=58

_ copy running code from /tmp/buildXXxxx on crash of p5

_ should probably make a way to save/recover code

_ make the buildXxxx folders relate to time/date?

low (common errors around reserved names/class naming)

_ Saving sketch with the same name as a class or primitive breaks sketch

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1165

_ don't allow people to override methods like paint()

_ make them final? just improve the error messages?

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1219

_ Processing chokes if a sketch defines a class with same name as the sketch

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1199

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1294

_ using a processing keyword as a variable name gives unhelpful error message

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=213

_ don't allow goofy case versions of reserved words

_ keypressed should maybe throw an error

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9

_ using a keyword as a variable name gives unhelpful error message

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=212

low (better error messages)

_ not enough args for triangle (or args in general)

_ throws out bizarre message

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=17

_ need better error messages in general

_ some means to link out to further documentation (e.g. AIOOBE, NPE)

_ expecting RPAREN messages are ugly

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15

_ if 'void' left out before loop or setup, cryptic message about

_ 'constructor loop must be named Temporary_23498_2343'

_ add a better handler for this specific thing?

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=18

PDE / Editor

3 _ cmd-shift-n not creating new tab (related to 505?)

3 _ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1081

_ sketch marked as modified too aggressively

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=328

_ improve update check message "a new release (1.0.1) is available"

_ be more descriptive, use a second line in latest.txt

_ maybe just include the full text of the update message there?

_ go through other sketch-opening menus to check for disappearing sketches

_ deal with isManagingFocus() warning in the editor src

_ should really be doing the 'right' thing with sketch file handling

_ create temporary file when saving

_ once done writing, use remove the original and rename the old

_ some basic stuff like this..

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=968

_ saved window positions.. if displays has changed, becomes a problem

_ record the display that it was on?

_ GraphicsDevice gd = frame.getGraphicsConfiguration().getDevice();

_ make sure that the application is within the bounds of the current display?

_ (from 0, 0 to width, height)

_ messy since some displays have negative coords

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=72

_ [LaunchRunner Error] processing.app.Base.main(String[]) threw an exception

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=821

_ file-save stops running sketch

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=810

_ strange NullPointerException problem prevents launch

_ some kind of NPE in handleOpenInternal and friends

_ appears to be a synchronization problem with the loading

_ when opening from double-click on the mac, doesn't replace untitled

_ or in general, issues between opening new window and another launching

_ probably need to synchronize the file open methods inside Base

_ (could in fact cause nastiness with editors[] access)

_ editors opening up at the same time on load?

_ either synchronize the open (at a minimum)

_ or wait for mac handlers to register an open event

_ can also cause problems with opening multiple copies of same sketch

_ after fixing name of sketch, ensure sketch of that name does not exist

_ do quick fix for tab bar

_ don't show tabs when there are too many

_ maybe move the list of files to the top?

_ or indicate which are visible somehow

_ slightly longer.. rearrange?

_ or just show tabs in (alpha?) order based on what's most recently used

_ have some indicator that shows the tabs when they've disappeared

_ or little mini tabs that expand/contract?

_ and a way to control who's expanded and not

_ add auto-save to the editor

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=739

_ dragging title bar while sketch running causes strange selection behavior

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=504

_ convert tabs to spaces when pasting text

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=506

_ add "recent files" list to open menu?

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1335

_ unchecking 'use external editor' sketch should not set modified

_ dangerous if a version that hasn't been re-loaded has possibility

_ to overwrite. i.e. make a change and save in external editor,

_ don't actually

_ when running with external editor, hide the editor text area

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20

_ horizontal scroller gets weird sometimes

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23

_ add mnemonics for menus (alt-f to open 'file')

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26

_ option to just print all code in project

_ option to export all the code as colored html

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=28

_ "page setup" sucks in java

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=435

_ rename/saveas doesn't properly have its focus set

_ under windows, immediately typing after rename doesn't select

_ the whole thing is selected, but not directly editable

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=31

_ dim edit menus as appropriate during selection/no selection/etc

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=33

_ Ctrl-Z will undo, but not scroll to where the undo happens.

_ so user thinks nothing is happening and overundo.

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=35

_ fonts smaller than 10 cause problems in the editor

_ generally causes trouble on osx

_ on windows and linux, changing the size throws things off

_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=51

_ code coloring is imperfect because it's not based on a parser

_ i.e. mousePressed() is red but mouseMoved() is brown

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=113

_ clicking i-- ) between -- and ) will select "-- )"

_ in eclipse, it looks to see which is closest and selects that

_ need to check behavior for word and bbedit

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=348

_ implement emacs keybindings (list is at the bug report)

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=401

_ implement better method of showing curly brace closure

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=295

_ sketches should only write to the console of their editor window

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=921

P5 _ problems with file/print

P5 _ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1230

P4 _ comments not always colored correctly

P4 _ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1194

PDE / Editor Buttons

_ run button not properly unhighlighting

_ does it unhighlight after compile or runtime errors?

_ also when using draw() instead of loop()

_ applet needs to notify runner that it has terminated

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=38

_ check 'finished' via objectreference?

_ make the run button highlight immediately

_ or maybe show an animation for starting up

_ rather than post-compile

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=776

_ if export fails (compile error) need to un-highlight the export button

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=39

_ when holding down shift, show the alternate behavior for EditorHeader

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37

PDE / Editor Header

2 _ make some fancy extendo things because the tabs get too big

2 _ either condense or popdown menu thingy

2 _ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=54

5 _ key command for prev/next tab works, but not menu

5 _ menu options are actually disabled because of inconsistency

5 _ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1044

PDE / Editor Status

_ error messages run off the edge and go invisible

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=57

_ move all prompts to modal dialog showError/Message/Warning/Prompt

_ nicely design dialog boxes to go with visual of p5

_ maybe something that shows stack trace?

_ with an 'email this' button? (include source code too?)

_ also need a "prompt" dialog for asking filenames, etc

_ implement and remove PdeEditorStatus stuff

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59

PDE / Export

4 _ failed export still copies random files

4 _ Failed compile on Export or Export to Application

4 _ still creates folder and leaves mess behind

4 _ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1050

_ when exporting to application (or applet) don't copy .java files from folder

_ (they'll be copied as source files later)

_ make .java files and friends go to correct locations on export (app)

_ warn on export when people call their sketches things like Server

_ warn if someone extends PApplet but mis-names the sketch

_ or don't allow it to be exported

_ add bug reference to the faq once added to the db

X or at least add a note about this to the faq

_ show error when no main() is included but class extends PApplet

_ error can happen or be checked

_ errors during export don't show up properly (no red status bar)

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=194

_ need to decide how to handle "stop" button in present mode

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=63

_ when running externally, people need to write their own stop function

_ just get export to application working so this can be supported

_ for now, they're stuck w/ running in the env and getting the ugliness

_ make export put a timestamp in the html code (hidden or visible)

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=66

_ exporting application copies .java files

_ .java files are copied to the root folder as well as the source folder

_ javadoc comment in a static mode app doesn't get moved to the top

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=924

PDE / Find & Replace

_ all around very ugly, fix it up

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=67

_ several tweaks

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=68

_ only enable "find next" in menu after a find has happened

_ allowing to find & replace over multiple tabs

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=69

PDE / History

_ implement new version of history

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=71

_ make history folder, and a zip (not gz) file for each entry

_ history causing trouble - super slow with a huge sketch

_ could instead be gzipped and appended to history.dat

_ along with another file that is actually a table of offsets

_ no need to make the thing a gzip stream

_ checkbox on menu for 'record history' ?

_ history converter option?

_ only first 20 entries visible?

_ shortcut to walk through history, ala photoshop (ctrl-alt-z)

_ zlib file becoming corrupt (not flushed after close?)

_ make hooks to history api so others can write tools around it

PDE / Preferences

_ separate prefs and sketch state info?

_ this would mean prefs being rewritten far less

_ prefs window doesn't swap ok/cancel properly for mac vs. windows/linux

_ don't bother having a "cancel" for the prefs window

_ rewrite preferences window to use proper layout?

_ is there already a bug for this?

_ make prefs dialog modal?

_ prefs window not visible on windows taskbar

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=438

_ split Preferences and PreferencesFrame?

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=74

_ preferences window has been hit with the ugly stick

_ redo panel to use proper Box layout etc

_ also needs to look good across all platforms

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=73

_ make available the background colors for present mode, stop button color

_ isolate color chooser into a simpler/smaller class outside tools

_ then can also use from inside processing applications as well
