Hello Paolo, thank you for taking your time to read updated documentation.
By the way, does McCLIM have a file selector?
Not that I'm aware of. Perhaps it was scrapped at some point. Writing a basic gadget for that purpose wouldn't be very hard though - polishing it would be. For example clim-listener already has presentation-based file explorer -- subsequent directories are presented after each command, but that could be rehashed to be put in a single redisplaying output block in a dialog I think.
As for the Getting Started chapter, I'd like to take some time to read it in more depth. The first impression is that the old version feels like a tutorial and the new one is like a reference.
I read the Getting started chapter in full and now agree with your approach.
Thank you, that's encouraging.
The new version covers the same material with similar progression but there are a couple of minor issues.
Thanks, for some reason I didn't catch formatting issues. I must have accidently hit M-q (maybe?). In any case these are fixed now.
Also, package names and symbols in package definitions are expressed as strings, keywords, and uninterned symbols. A newcomer may wonder why some code expresses symbols in a particular way, so more consistency may help.
Technically these are consistent. Package designators are strings -- people often use symbols, and that's more common since ACL introduced "modern-case" reader by default, but that's rather a hysterical detail. The same goes for package names in :use section etc. Exported and exported symbols are also designated by symbol-names (specified to be string designators). Keeping them as strings prevents unnecessary interning symbols in whichever *PACKAGE* the DEFPACKAGE form is evaluated. It is not a huge win, because what a few more symbols matter, but technically it is proper. And DEFPACKAGE has its own options that are named by keywords, so symbols like :use and :import are very much necessary to write a correct package definition. I've updated the documentation under the same url: https://mcclim.common-lisp.dev/static/documents/3d6249-mcclim-doc-sketch.htm... I've also uploaded a missing screenshot. Thanks again for reading it.
