wednesday's version is up:
deleted "find" label as bloat. relabeled "edit" button on options screen to "return". created option-choice buttons at bottom of option-screen. created option-choice field at bottom of option-screen. installed "filename-field" at upper-left. (explanation below.) *** on the options screen, i created a mechanism for selecting choices for an option. to select a specific option, just click on it in the listbox. (you can also navigate through the options by clicking the "prev" and "next" buttons at bottom-right.) if the option calls for a specific choice, the choices are listed on the buttons, so a user can just click his/her choice. if an option calls for a string, a user can enter that string into the field at the bottom, and press [enter] to have that string placed into the selected option... (i will also include a font popup at a later time, so the user won't have to manually enter a font-name.) eventually i will turn this into a system which explains all of the options to a naive beginner, which is why i've used this particular method, in case you were wondering. it's a bit laborious for experts, but they can deal with that. *** the "filename-field" tells the app what filename you want to have all files saved under... a folder will be created on the site with that 5-lowercase-letter name, and all of your files that are created will be saved in it. in addition, all the files will be prefaced with that name. this folder-preparation isn't coded yet, so at present, an edited file is still saved at the website's root level, just as it as always been. that will change tomorrow. i might (or might not) install password protection on these folders, for people who are leery about letting their work float into the world without authorization. on the other hand, there will be cross-platform apps that run offline which are equivalent to this web-app (generated from exactly the same code), so i will likely tell those people to go offline and not use the web-app. *** this version, like the last two, has converter routines in it... so whenever we're satisfied with the interface -- not "finished", just satisfied -- we can move on to the meat-and-potatoes part of this creation process. just let me know... i await today's feedback and suggestions. -bowerbird
