XYplorer Beta Club

In the last time there were some changes regarding XY's reaction on screen changes. But my problem still exists:

I use SetLayout() to get info, especially for Pane1Width and Pane2Width. Basically it works well.
But: if I change the width of XY's screen, be it by draging the right edge to the left or right, or by moving XY to another -bigger- screen to fullscreen mode, so that the width of pane2 changes, the value of especially Pane2Width doesn't change at all!

I think/hope this can be called a

Oh - just found some more info: if I drag the splitter right or left, the values of Pane1/2Width do change.
And: if I first change the width of XY, and then once drag the splitter, both pane widths change to the corrected sizes

Well, these are internally used values that get updated when needed. I'm not sure why I exposed them. I think I should remove them from this command.

Hm - I had expected that this command serves to expose the values it returns.

But OK: I need these values to "swap" (i.e.exchange) the sizes - be it horizontal or vertical - between pane1 and pane2. (So in the moment I read and then set them by SetLayout() ). Is there any other chance to do so? (With real/updated values, of course.)

Not at the moment, sorry. When I find the time I will remove these values from SetLayout. They don't belong there.

Well, that said, I tried something anyway. No mention in change log. Next beta... (v19.60.0008)

Hey - at least for the situations I need & have tested it works now!

...but only, if you will not delete it

Hmm, okay.

Thanks a lot!

By the way: still no idea how to get, (modify and then) set width and/or hight of panes by other means...

Dragging the splitter?

OK: that would be "manual automation"

Something like Chaplin's "modern times". (I think that was the name, wasn't it?)

I saw it coming... had to remove this "fix". These values are not usable for the user. I will remove them from SetLayout().

WWait wait wait!
remove them from the returned layout string, okay, but please let them be definable with setlayout('Pane#Height/Width');

I should have said: I should remove them from SetLayout().

I won't do anything now. It's an expert function anyway, so this might as well be solvable in the docs...

Will that mean there will be no way to get (and maybe also to set) these values?
While it wouldn't help much to set them, if I can't get them.

It would affect scripts! At least mine...
(I've used the partly wrong values for several years now...)

OK: if there would be any other solution to get and set pane widths and heights

What is that script doing?

ok, if I understood Don's comment right, he's just going to revert the "fix", so setlayout() might return out-of-date values, but you can still set the height/widths with it.

As for getting the values, use controlposition():
