A modified version of ML tk Text Editor - v1.12 [L1 ]
The Zipguy 07/23/2012 (my email is zipguypub @ thefreesite dot com please change the dot to a ".".)
Here's the upgraded interface of ML:
The version 1.12 has been modified by The Zipguy to version 1.25h.
Changes:
There is a new popup menu on a right click:
Note that this version lets you run the ../../main.tcl file, which is what the starkit would run.
Is anyone interested in it?
LV Sure!
ZipGuy Here's the ML version 1.25h kit: [L2 ] (click on the # 2 link and make sure you click on "Save Target as"). It is in beta.
Also, if you're running Windows, there is a ml.exe at [L3 ] (click on the # 3 link and make sure you click on "Save Target as") which is also in beta, but it is a Starpack, only for Windows (newer than XP), which is larger, about 4M.
It is nice because you do not need tclkit.exe, which it does write out when you run it. Also, I was thinking of having it have ezsdx.kit inside of it, which it would write out also. Although if it did that, someone would have to be kind of smart to know how to set that up, to be able to run it.
AET 21feb05 Very nice! A great (and small!) addition to the developer's toolkit. Well done! My copy (.kit) fails if it starts in a path with spaces (sourcing poToolHelp.tcl). Run and Save + Run have the same problem.
Also doesn't obey some MSWindowsXPSP2 wm rules, 'cos when I use it with TopDesk (an old desktop pager), it stays with the screen, not the desktop. No other program does that (including Tk), and I've used lots over the years.
Now, if I could integrate it into tkcon instead of the viewer/editor, wouldn't that be good? And if it had a step through debugger with breakpoints . . .
ZipGuy 2012-Jul-23 Hi, I'm back (click on the ZipGuy link if you want to know what I've been up to). Here's the ML version 1.24 kit: [L4 ] (click on the # 3 link and make sure you click on "Save Target as"). And to the MHo, what he should have done was tclkit.exe ml.kit foo.tcl if foo.tcl was the file he wanted to edit. That's why he got wrong # of args.
lpz 2012-jul-23 On Windows XP doing tclkit ml.kit gives wrong # args: should be source fileName! The problem seem to be the spaces in the file path.
ZipGuy 2012-Jul-23: I think what I would do is this
'D:\dl\dcl\tclkit-8.5.8-win32-x86_64.exe' 'D:\dl\dcl\mine\ml.kit'
or whatever I'd need to do, for example in a batch file. Notice that they are in slightly different folders. Windows is very particular about the character ' , which may give you a misleading message like wrong # args: should be source fileName. This is what I have a a shortcut which worked great 100's of times for me, both on XP and Windows 7:
D:\dl\dcl\mine\tclkit-8.5.8.exe D:\dl\dcl\mine\icons\mlgreat.kit
assuming there are no spaces in my directory names (which there are NOT)!
ZipGuy 2013-Mar-11: Here is a part of the "Help" screen which does represent my thoughts on what I might do to ML, in the future:
Here would be a good place to vote on which things you'd like to see, or post ideas on improvements, or requests for changes.
