Hi Ozzie,

Since buyers can't edit it without Screenedit 1.1,
I'm asking you if I can include your program on the disk?

That's fine with me.

Regards

Stan

Hello Ozzie

Thanks for your kind words.
The reason that the original editor is no longer avialable is
that a user contacted me on these groups asking for it
to be removed.  The reason given was that my editor
allowed screen designers to bypass the security of other
people's screens.  If a someone designs a screen with a
password,  my editor would ignore the password and
allow you to load and edit it anyway.

I'd be happy to put it back,  but I can't find my copy
of the original designer.

kindest regards

Stan

Hi David,

It's not nice to burst my bubble so early in the morning.

Sorry about that.

But, why is it then that when I create a simple jpg button in
a graphics program, and slip it into the Mach3 directory,
if you click on it the button gives that depressed look
( no, not that kind of depressed - that's the kind I am now.)

I can't honestly say.

I sure hope that you and the Mach3 folks get their wires uncrossed because
Jetcam was the only real bright light on the horizon for cleaning up the Mach3
screens by us non-programming types.

Not much chance of that happening in the foreseeable future.
I haven't had time to work on the editor in over a year now.

Many of us wasted a lot of time creating
screens only to find that they wouldn't work.

This is certainly unfotunate.  And I do appologize for this.
The thing is that I wrote this editor on my own time,  and for free.
But things started getting out of hand with requests for Flash support
and PNG support etc,  which really aren't necessary but take a lot of
time to investigate and then develop for,  which wasted alot of my
time - (so I know how you feel too).

With my current workload,  I cannot say when I'd have time to get back
to looking at the screen editor.

best regards

Stan

Mr Morrow,

You are 100% INCORRECT.
There are 2 button images because 1 represents the up position and the second the "pressed" position.
MACH simulates pressing using scaling.  Jetcam uses a second image.
MACH 3 "knows" how to split and display the images,  or at least it used to.

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for your kind words.
I have been and will continue to be in contact with Art concerning these types of issues.

The screen editor version 1.01 was my first attempt at writing an editor for MACH and
I found it was not good enough.  A superior version is currently under development which
is what all the latest posts from me are about.

Unfortunately,  this new version will not initially be able to load screens developed in the
1.01 version because internally they are completely different.

The new version does handle smart labels and I received a list of these from Art some time ago and
already integrated them.

I am desperately trying to get the new version released to all you guys out there,  but my current
workload is crazy at the moment - and it's been like that for months.

I will let you all know as soon as I have something for you to try.

kindest regards


Stan

Hello Ozzie,

The link was removed today.
That link points to the very original editor I wrote which is not the same as the
one I am currently building.

It was taken down at the request of a user who has problems due to some security
concerns.

Best Regards

Stan

Hi Dave,

I still have a fully loaded schedule and have had basically no time lately for the designer.
I am sorry to be letting you all down like this,  but right now,  there is nothing I can
do about it.  I will complete this designer if it kills me.

kindest regards

Stan

Hi Everyone,

I've been working hard to get the editor ready,  but am still having
some major problems.  Unfortunately,  my screens are crashing MACH3
after it loads them.  After a short while,  Windows then crashes also.

I am still working to find out why this is happening.

best regards

Stan.

Hi Greg,

Yes the screen editor is happening.  I started it at a time when I had alot of free time available,  but lately I have been extremely busy working.  As a programmer,  I don't work normal hours so I hope you understand.  Currently I am on vacation,  so I have free time.  I will be in Spain next week and will begin 2 solid weeks of work to get this editor in a state that will allow you all to load,  edit and save mach screens.

I appologize for any inconvenience.

kindest regards

Stan.
