Added some color to replace line 773 of processFlowchartSyntax: # display getProp and setProp switch char 1 of getBracketType(pParent) case "{" # getProp or setProp put sSyntaxCatalogue[pParent] && "fill:#09f" into tStyle break case "(" # command put sSyntaxCatalogue[pParent] && "fill:#0af" into tSt...

Got things working here on linux. The main problem was the spinner widget, which is another browser widget in disguise. Interestingly, the spinner widget did indeed show a red-and-blue spinner, it's just that the process made things unstable. Made two changes: 1. in the resizeStack handler, only aff...

The presence of a browser widget in linux isn't a problem.
It's only if you attempt to use it (change its properties etc).

Was looking forward to this option, but the new version does an amazing job of crashing my linux desktop manager on loading the stack (even with messages suppressed) while version 1.0.5 doesn't do so until I actually try to display the flowchart.

Micro$oft has apparently decided how much CoPilot will cost.

Fair enough. In my winfrustration I misspoke about vscode instead of vstudio. But here's a screenshot of installing visual studio on win11. It's a moot point now because I just accepted whatever is selected there since I couldn't scroll to the submit button. And it turns out to be a virtualbox displ...

Maybe something like this:

Not the size of the screen - it's 27 inches but the text on the vscode configuration page is half off the screen and can't be scrolled into view. I saw a bunch of checkmarks and some partial text and I know there's a submit button off to the right somewhere so I just hit enter to select the choice I...

I spent a day installing Windows 7 and then another day finding out that you can't install vscode on win7. Spent another day installing Win11 and a *long* time installing the latest vscode. After a configuration screen that doesn't fit on the screen so a lot of entries aren't visible - just closed m...

Been a long time since I've had to do any M$ work but now I'm setting up a Virtualbox win installation.

How does one install programs?
Where's the equivalent of "apt install"?

Also... from the Development menu select "Suppress Messages", *then* load your stack.

Whenever I hear someone refer to the anthropomorphic "AI" I'm put in mind of Richard Brautigan's wonderfully ironic "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace". I like to think (and the sooner the better!) of a cybernetic meadow where mammals and computers live together in mutually programming ha...

Although, to be honest I don't understand the advantage of absolute paths rather than names. Here's one: Make a new stack (default name = "Untitled 1") save it. Find another stack previously saved to your hard disk (Note: filename may have no relation to stack name) Oops - maybe it got saved with t...

I think part of the reason for the stack target confusion is that much of the legacy IDE code still refers to stacks by name rather than by absolute path. Sometimes this results in the annoying "another stack by this name" dialog, but I think other times it may contribute to the loss of focus to the...

Possibly. It would take serious instrumentation of the execution machine. Changing the context is fast, but getting the variables list and getting the individual variable values requires runtime string evaluation. There's probably a way around that, but I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for the t...
