Scripting Bugs

OK, it depended on Configuration | Find Files & Branch View | Visual Filters | Show filter information in tab headers.

Next version will always work.

Great! thanks.

Ternary seems to be doing its own illogical thing.

Code: Select all

"Empty A - Expect trues" Global $a = ''; Sub '_test';
"False A - Expect falses" Global $a = false; Sub '_test';
"True A - Expect trues" Global $a = true; Sub '_test';

"_test"
  Global $a;
  $b = ($a == '' || $a == true);
  $c = ($a == '' || $a == true) ? true : false;echo "A: '$a'<crlf>B: $b<crlf>C: $c<crlf>B==C: " . ($b == $c);

Bugs (yep, 2 independent bugs here) confirmed and fixed.

[TheQwerty]

Ternary fix confirmed in v15.00.0301.
Thanks!

Report() templates for CustomColumns can only retrieve values of the first 5 CCs.

Code: Select all

 text report("{custom 1}|{custom 2}|{custom 3}|{custom 4}|{custom 5}|{custom 6}", <curitem>);

Code: Select all

 text report("{custom 1}|{custom 2}|{custom 3}|{custom 4}|{custom 5}|{custom 6}", <curitem>);

Confirmed, only the 5 hard custom columns are supported.

[bdeshi]

allow all.
This apparently supported all columns in the past, what's the reason for this change?

[admin]

No, they have never been supported. Their nature is too different from the rest internally. Would need lots of heavy rewriting.

[bdeshi]

How? forgive me, but as I see it, the first five CCs are completely interchangeable with all the others -- we can swap them at any time by editing, and report doesn't fail then ; seems there's nothing special about those first ones, other than they come predefined by default.

[admin]

I made it appear like that.

PS: Try this to see a bit of the inner difference:

Code: Select all

text columnlayout(, "get");

[admin]

Next version you can report those columns via their captions.

By the way of unwanted behaviour, I have to say that I do not like the fact that you cannot minimise XY when a script is running. What is the reason for this? I often run a script that takes 1-2 minutes to execute, so not allowing me to minimise XY seems a bit harsh.

Another kick in the teeth is that the message that pops up to say that you cannot minimise XY while a script is running actually pauses the running script. I mean, come on, if you are going to tell me that I cannot do something, do not delay something that is stopping me from doing what I want to do.

There is a reason for this:

Code: Select all

v8.90.0001 - 2010-03-11 21:38
    * Scripting: Experimentally it is now disallowed to minimize the 
      application while a script is running. Reason: Any modal forms 
      popped by a script while the application is minimized would block 
      the application.

Not sure though if this is still valid in Win8.1 and later, and no time to test now.

That is all well and good if a script has any modal forms to pop-up. My script, for example, is a collection of folderreport() commands that dump to individual files. No pop-up forms, modal or otherwise. Clearly, my scenario does not fit the use case of the restriction that has been introduced, so I would appreciate if you could please either remove it or add logic that determines if a script meets the restriction criteria. Such broad, sweeping restriction seems unjustified.

[admin]

Too difficult. I'll add a tweak: ScriptAllowMinimizeApp=1
