Session Manager [v7.00] — Bookmark your environments: locations and/or display (tabsets and layout)

[klownboy]

Hi again PeterH,

So all start types supplying one caption (or any list of captions) lead to no-execution of _Initialize or _Terminate.

I ran your script(s) above and I think that is what Don is saying here in his Beta history for v12.10.0001.

If a script within a MSR is called directly (SCs Sub or Load), then "_Initialize"/"_Terminate" are NOT called.

When I ran your test script with no labels, it essentailly ran everything..."_Initialize,a ,b,c, sub, and lastly "_Terminate". I know we had the capability to "load" and set variables...actually, I remember and saved some of your posts that went into detail on that some time back, but now with "_Intialize" we'll be able to do that automatically in a script that contains it. It's kind of nice since other scripting lanquages as far as I know have something similar without having to specifically use a load "_BlaBlaBla". In some cases when it comes right down to it, it was used because we didn't have a feature (or script) like "_Initialize"/"_Terminate". For info, I ran some test scripts which used no labels or menus, but used "popupmenu" and <get drop>, and "_Initialize"/"_Terminate" were executed.

By the way, as a minimum I was probably abusing "_Initialize", but then again I'm still just playing.

Thanks again,
Ken

BTW, while writing the next Help file, I kind of "discovered" this functionality:

These assigned values can be variables themselves, or even expressions or functions:

Code: Select all

perm $a = <clipboard>; echo $a; 
perm $a = 5 + 7; echo $a;

Cool, huh?

Neat! (& good to know)
I can already hear the perms in the playground: "We don't need no... evaluation!"

Don, very slick, ::perm $a = 5 + 7; echo $a; eval($a); (on the AB) = 12

Yep, it's remarkable. All programm languages I know don't allow this.

Yep, it's remarkable. All programm languages I know don't allow this.

For obvious reasons.

Eval is evil.

For me it's a love-hate thingie. As long as I'm coding on my own it's only me and my spare time when it's up to face the consequences of some fancy LoCs. But woe it's about a joint/collaborative project, all the best for hunting down the blocker bugs ....

But since with SC I am on my own Eval is a great source for fun.

@klownboy: great to see you've become a real SC coder.

Hey Filehero,
I'm still a newb compared to you and most others on this forum, but I'm learning and more importantly having fun. I hope all is well.
Take care,
Ken

Here's a new version: Session Manager v2.5 beta1. (too lazy to update the first post now)
Requires XYplorer >~ v12.10+(?) (because of new "_Initialize" auto-load)

Changelog:
! Fixed missing active session and menus under Win7
* Streamlined code to use "_Initialize"
+ Abused said code, so SM subscripts can now be called directly (after an "_Initialize" load), e.g.

Code: Select all

load "SessionManager", "_Initialize"; load "SessionManager", "_Reset";

@binocular222
So you called customer support...?
Here it goes. Hope that suits you.

Whao, superb!
Thanks

Lookin' good Flux!

Hi Flux,

I noticed with 12.20.0409 that there's something wrong with resetting a session. In fact, though I see "some GUI flickering" nothing happens with regard to the tab contents. Switching sessions works normal, however.

I'd skipped 0409 but it was working here before (0408...), and it's working under 12.30. Don't know what can cause this, could you confirm it's still broken with v2.5b2? (you're under Win7?)

Quick test with 2.5 beta2 and 12.30.0001: reset works again.

I'm on Win 8 Pro.
