@item Save/Load 'nib' documents (binary archived data)
|
|
|
|
This works so far as it can be tested - but that's just archives containing
|
|
windows or panels so far.
|
|
|
|
@item Load palettes
|
|
|
|
Loading of palettes works. You can load palettes from the
|
|
'Tools' menu. Gorm automatically loads all the palettes from its Resources
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
@item Basic framework
|
|
|
|
So far, the app provides a basic framework that needs fleshing out.
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item
|
|
It has a palettes manager object that allows you to select a palette and
|
|
drag items from the palette into your document.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
It has a special per-document editor object, which keeps track of a matrix
|
|
of icons representing the top-level objects in the document.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
It has an inspector manager class, which updates the inspector panel
|
|
when the selected object is changed by an editor.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
It has special inspectors for handling an empty selection or a multiple
|
|
selection.
|
|

|
@item Palettes
|
|
|
|
Four palettes (three of which are empty at present) are built and installed
|
|
in the apps Resources directory.
|
|
|
|
The Window palette is more fully fleshed out than the other palettes.
|
|
It permits windows and panels to be created in Gorm.
|
|
If provides the start of a window attributes inspector.

You can drag views from a palette into a window or panel.
|
|
@item
|
|
You can select views in a window by clicking on them, shift-clicking
|
|
(for multiple selection), or click-drag on the window background to select
|
|
views in a box.
|
|
@item
|
|
You can delete/cut/copy/paste views betwen windows.
|
|
@item
|
|
You can move views in a window by clicking on them and dragging.
|
|
@item
|
|
You can resize views by clicking on their knobs and dragging.
|
|
@item
|
|
You can control-drag to mark source and destination views for a connection.
|
|
|
|
@item Next task - inspectors.
|
|
|
|
The connection inspector needs to be implemented to complete the process of
|
|
establishing connections.
|
|
The size inspector needs to be implemented to set autosizing parameters for
|
|
a view.
|
|
|
|
Once these are done, the object editor needs to be made to support connections
|
|
so that we can connect between objects other than views, then we need to write
|
|
a menu editor.

@item
|
|
Connections inspector is now working - but it needs some effort to tidy it up.
|
|
@item
|
|
Class info (outlets and actions) is specified in 'ClassInformation.plist'
|
|
and needs to be present so that the app knows what outlets/actions an object
|
|
has (and therefore what connections can be made).
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
The view size inspector is working - allowing you to set the size of the
|
|
subviews within a window.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
The attributes inspector for 'FilesOwner' is working, so you can define the
|
|
class of the files owner (it defaults to NSApplication).
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
There is a crude panel for setting the name of the selected object.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
I've created a couple of new images and got rid of the two NeXT images that
|
|
were lurking in there.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
There is a Testing directory, with a GormTest application that lets you load
|
|
a nib for testing - it assumes that the nib will set its FilesOwners delegate
|
|
to point to a window, and makes that window the key window ...

Last work before christmas ...
|
|
|
|
Various bits of tidying up plus -
|
|
|
|
Added an evil hack of a generic attributes inspector ... This looks through
|
|
all the methods of the selected object to find those taking a single argument
|
|
and beginning with 'set'. It makes all these setting methods (whose argument
|
|
is a simple scalar type or an object) available for you to invoke from the
|
|
inspector panel.
|
|
|
|
This makes it possible to set pretty much any attribute of any object, but
|
|
you do need to have the GNUstep header files to hand, so you can tell what
|
|
numeric values to enter to achieve a desired result.
