With Clozure CL the only command that works in the listener's Filesystem menu is 'Up Directory'; everything else gives me this - Error: value PATHNAME is not of the expected type LIST.

I'd tried that, but it still errored, asking if I wanted to use the local unix display. > It is normal for McCLIM apps to be slightly sluggish at first, because > the CLOS caches need to be filled the first time generic functions are > called.

When I run it with Clozure CL there's no delay at all. Only with SBCL. I'm running version 1.0.2. > How does it hang?

I'll have a go on my laptop, which runs Vista, see if that's any better. Thanks, Chris __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo! Mail.

[mcclim-devel] cl-jpeg dependency with ASDF-install (bug?)
by christopher melen 13 May '08

13 May '08

When I try to ASDF-install McClim (on Mac OS X) it complains that it can't install a dependency, cl-jpeg. This library appears to be no longer available. __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo! Mail. A Smarter Email http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/nowyoucan.html

[mcclim-devel] Small patch for pixie look sliders
by Clinton Ebadi 06 May '08

06 May '08

Greetings, When testing a small program I noticed that the value-changed callbacks in pixie look sliders were not being called. I compared the handle-event methods for the concrete gadget and pixie looks, and I think the attached patch is the correct fix (and just copied from (handle-event <slider-pane> <pointer-button-release-event>)). -- Jessie: i thought your beard took the oxygen from the air and made it breathable for you

[mcclim-devel] McCLIM 0.9.6 "St. George's Day" is released!
by McCLIM maintainers 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

The McCLIM developers are happy to release version 0.9.6 of McCLIM, code-named "St. George's Day". This release includes several bug and specification compliance fixes, as well as improvements to the anti-aliased text drawing facility and to the Drei text editing substrate. When testing this release, we found that it works on these implementations: * SBCL * CMUCL 19d * Clozure CL 1.2 (RC 1) * CLISP 2.41 (requires "Telent" CLX) * Allegro Common Lisp 8.1 in ANSI Mode For compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard", please see the included release notes. Get the tarball at <http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/downloads/mcclim-0.9.6.tar.gz>. Alternatively, you can install McCLIM via asdf-install. We are looking forward to your comments and bug reports. Please send them to mcclim-devel at common-lisp.net. The list of currently known bugs can be found at <http://trac.common-lisp.net/mcclim/report/1>. Have fun using McCLIM, The McCLIM developers. RELEASE NOTES FOR McCLIM 0.9.6, "St. George's Day": Compatibility ============= This release was tested and found to work on the following implementations: * SBCL * CMUCL 19d * Clozure CL 1.2 (RC 1) * CLISP 2.41 (requires "Telent" CLX) * Allegro Common Lisp 8.1 in ANSI Mode McCLIM currently does not support lisps with case-sensitive readers (Allegro CL "modern mode" and lower-case Scieneer CL). To run McCLIM on Mac OS X 10.5, it is currently necessary to pass an explicit DISPLAY argument to work around incompatibility between Leopard's X11 auto-start facility and CLX. Changes in mcclim-0.9.6 "St. George's Day" relative to 0.9.5: ============================================================== From the NEWS file: * New extension: mcclim-truetype: provides a 100% lisp path for AA fonts with CLX using cl-vectors and zpb-ttf, as an alternative to mcclim-freetype. * Improvement: Faster drawing and AA text rendering. AA text requires a fix to the Xrender support of CLX, available in Christophe Rhodes's current CLX distribution from darcs. * Improvement: Look up arbitrary truetype fonts by name via fontconfig. * Drei improvements ** New redisplay engine that is faster and has more features. ** Support for "views" concept. ** Support for modes a la Emacs "mini-modes". ** Improvement: Goal-columns for line movement. ** Improvement: More Emacs-like expression movement for Lisp syntax. ** Bug fix: Input prompting now works for directly recursive calls to ACCEPT. * Specification compliance: READ-BITMAP-FILE and MAKE-PATTERN-FROM-BITMAP-FILE from CLIM 2.2. Includes new example program, IMAGE-VIEWER. * Specification compliance: The :inherit-menu keyword argument to DEFINE-COMMAND-TABLE and MAKE-COMMAND-TABLE is now implemented with CLIM 2.2 semantics. The :keystrokes value is not handled yet. * Specification compliance: :PRINTER functions for MENU-CHOOSE are now called with the menu item, not the display object. * Bug fix: ESA's help commands are better at finding bindings and describing them * Bug fix: Some missing methods and functions have been implemented for the Null backend, allowing headless operation for many applications. * Bug fix: correct computation of bounding rectangle after clear-output-record and recompute-extent-for-new-child. * Bug fix: label panes no longer have a restrictive maximum width. * Bug fix: ellipses with a zero radius no longer cause errors. * Bug fix: bezier drawing in CLIM-FIG less likely to cause errors. * Bug fix: restored somewhat working undo in CLIM-FIG.

[mcclim-devel] McCLIM 0.9.6 release
by Troels Henriksen 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

I fixed the abomination that was MCCLIM-IMAGES, so I think we can do a release very soon. Since there has been so few changes as of late, a relatively short freeze period would be preferable. Can anyone think of a holiday we can use? -- \ Troels /\ Henriksen

[mcclim-devel] pb with latest version
by Irene DURAND 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hello, I did a cvs update in the wrong window and got my working mcclim updated without wanting it. I did remove all object files and recompile everything. But none of my clim applications run. So I tried with the clim-demo calculator which fails as well (although with a different error but the error is always related to DREI). Does everybody have this problem or just me? Should I try to go back to an earlier version? Thanks in advance for your help.

[mcclim-devel] "Show file" gives blanc window
by Willem Broekema 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

On Allegro 8.1 I have an issue with showing a text file contents, via the "Show file" menu option. Sometimes the contents is shown, but about 80% of the time the window popping up is blanc. If the text file contains several lines then the lines quickly scroll by when the window is opened, but the result is still a blanc window. Resizing the window does not trigger drawing either. Regards, - Willem
