Latest LCode version

NEtech · Jun 21, 2020

First issue.
Should be fixed in Alpha 11.
I have to test if there is support for 1 Byte only long coding in all Instances, not much used.

Second issue, it works fine for me ??
No need to use enter, support without was asked.

Example for standalone use in Alpha 11.
A long coding value is in clipboard
Start LCode
Press Ctrl O, or drag and drop xpl or lbl file.
If another coding has to be checked, copy new coding in clipboard, press Ctrl 1, load new xpl or lbl file.

Sorry, the issue does NOT only apply to 1-Byte-Codings...the example was picked from somehwere in Byte 17 or so. The behaviour is the same then.

Second issue:
I'm not at the right notebook right now, but when I manually changed the hex values (not the binary values beneath) and hit enter, the bits did not change.
I'll try that again later....

Third thing:
I have to admit that similar to TBAx's experience, we're very used to click somewhere in the hex range and LCode jumps to that byte...
Isn't it possible to realize that via detecting where the cursor was put after clicking around?

I removed the single hex Byte boxes, because the amount is different and they take much space.
I have (almost) never clicked on a special box in 3)
Do you know where to click on a 86 Byte long coding ?
Now you can enter the Byte number you want to go to, and you can use Up/Down (up/down arrows), End and Home keys.
Please try to use it some time, I like it more.
We all have to do minimalism

I am not sure I understand, do you mean where the mouse is over the long coding on the first line ?
That is an Tedit box with a long text string.

010AF3

I click here: 010A|F3
Then some SelStart calculcation magic that determines that you're just at the bigging or in the middle (010AF|3) of byte 2 and select it pro-actively.

No?

Yes and No, I think.
The human brain thinks it is a bit more comfortable when you DO NOT HAVE TO change from Mouse to Keyboard.
I catch myself always clicking in the byte range I want to go because I'm too lazy to change to the keyboard to enter a byte value.

That is some kind of psychological thing.

Alpha 12 (@ #1)
Should be able to click on the long coding.
Changed Alt F1 (About).

NEtech · Aug 2, 2020

Alpha 14 (@ #1)
Bugfixes
Open lbl xpl files, with Ctrl Enter
etc

With a small notebook, 13/14inch and FullHD we encounter a scaling problem with the long coding helper and the windows scaling on 125%

Can you implement a scrollbar or make the helperwindow resizable?

NEtech · Dec 12, 2020

Try if there is an difference:
Alpha 18 (@ #1)
{Changed scaling setting}
{Puldown menu text bold}

Vdub · Dec 12, 2020

thx, i will try that, i'll report back if it worked or not.

Vdub · Jan 7, 2021

it works better now, cannot say that the dropdownlist of the bytes is an improvement but it looks better now

iichel · Jan 10, 2021

Nils, I do not wish to discredit your hard work, but is it possible to use the 1.x series of LCode? I tried to find an old version but did not find it. I cannot get used to the new interface and therefore very often miscoding stuff.

NEtech · Jan 10, 2021

Rename the "LCode-Classic.exe"
Why would you miscode stuff, pull-down and checkmark are the same.
Have you read help?

iichel · Jan 10, 2021

I'm often coding without the pull down boxes and the checkboxes but with the keyboard, manually changing zeros and ones. This where it goes wrong.

I can cofirm this issue.
Using a displayscaling > 100% and open a controller with more then 30 Bytes, the LCode gets unusable. (important is here > 30 Byte!)

With a scaling of 150% you can't read anything inside the application.
Unfortunately it's not possible to add screenshots here.

@NEtech
If you need some screenshots and more details, I can provide this information in the german VCDS forum.

I'm using the Version 2.0.1

Of course it's possible. See: How to Post Pictures.

That's true, but I'm not a fan of hosting pictures externally.

They can be deleted or moved and then the links are dead.
