Dunno if it me do something wrong, but, i tried to press on "edit" many times, to realise that this part of sketchblock uses ProAction, which i had to download separately (is it possible, to any action which require ProAction, made something like "you don't have proaction installed, go to os4depot for it", because as it now, it just nothing happens for a while and user guest wtf.

So, then i download ProAction, unpack it to system:proaction, click on ProactionCtrl, reboot, run SketchBlock , press "edit", and nothing happens. Nothing in console, no window spawns. So.. Press edit again, and i have "couldn't open port SBPREFSEDITOR". And even if i go to system:proaction, and run manually server and have that "proaction control" window where i have "stop server/restart server" , i still in SB have "couild't open port SBPREFSEDITOR".

I think that maybe its something about appdir entry which somehow remember some of my first attepts from another directory, so i delete from APPDIR: proaction entry, and run system:proaction/proactionctrl via icon again. Run SB , go to edit: no luck, still "could't open port SBPREFSEDITOR".

Dunno, but imho such an inportant option as "settings" should work out of box, without needs for another stuff to be downloaded (or at least, bundle that stuff with the release of SB, and be sure it will runs automatically as it should).

And on every run of SB i always have console output with errors:

pencusror load failed 1
pencusror select load failed 1
paintcusror load failed 1

If i remember right, they there even since first releases of SB :)

You have install latest version of AISS to fix this.

Oh yeah, that fix it ! Thanks

@broadblues
And now "edit" runs ok as well (probably after i delete entry in appdir: , then run proactionctrl from new place, and don't do reboot : so appdir maybe still think about old location, and after reboot all start to work, probabaly).

Btw, should't be "pen" tool be first one in the list, and not "smudge" ? I mean pen is more important and offten need it than smudge, and i always press on smudge as it first, in hope it is pen :)

The weird behaviour with the Rexx script is actuall caused by the reported errors in the console, not in fact the 'errors' but the 'reports'. For some very weird reason and I can't work out if this is a script bug a console bug or sketchblock bug, if an error is printed to the console (abd that console was auto opened after starting from workbench, it *doesn't* happen if SketchBlock is started from the shell) then the console block the scripts execution. If you had pressed return in the console you would see an error printed to the console straight away IIRC and the script would have run. That blocked error doesn't actually happen if the console never opened , which is another mystery!

It's peculiar and didn't used to happen.

Nothing you did with AppDir: made any difference, and really it's not a good practice to go round messing that up when something doesn't run, the appdir-handler is more intelligent than you are and will get rid of expired links

The pen warnings can be avoided by making sure you have a recent AISS. Though with a theme in use they aren't used, so I may get rid of those warnings.

They are added in the order loaded from the directory by default. I mean to make the order user configurable at some point.

Right, that explain why after i deal with errors , proaction start to work..

Btw, is there any easy way, to work just like with some fast editing tool, like , i open image, select any are via some rectangle-select, press "del" and it delete that part ? Also to move it as well, like i select via some tool any area , then grab and move it. I remember that was not that easy for such little taks, and i had to create some separate scripts or kind ..

By the way, as far as i see, windows snapshooting option works, but it didn't snapshoot the inside of window reorganizing. I mean, for example we have SketchTools window, in which we have at top Tools. Under them we have some rectangular bar, which we can drag down, so, all tools will be fits.

And that position of that drag-bar always stays the same top, and even if i snapshoot windowses and they stay where they should be, and of size which they should be, stilll i always need to move dragbar under the tools again, to make visibly all of them, and to not have needs to use scrollbar gadget for them.

But that probably some general OS trouble ?

I'm not using the OS window snap shotting here, but that system is not aware of the internals of a window, so wouldn;t support this feature.

I have now added saving the position of the weight bars in the tools and layers window when snapshotted. Will be in the next update, (early in new year I guess).
