OK, I fixed all the bugs/enhancement requests in CodeLab.

Download the "Alpha 2" CodeLab here:

http://boltbait.googlepages.com/codelab

I figured, if I'm going to start writing my own UI's for the scripts I write, I might as well start by fixing CodeLab... :D

Hmmm, it doesn't seem to work on my end.

1) When I click on Load Source, I choose a script (one from the samples folder from CodeLab_2_6) and nothing happens.

2) When I click on the Clear button it doesn't clear the text in the window.

Speaking of it, I just crashed PDN playing with a code.

Is there any way to save or restore any of my 5 unsaved files?

EDIT: I attempt to close it, and it asks me if I want to save. I save all of them until I reach the one that I really need. It does the crash log thing, and here it is:

I'm not ready to say ok until I know if I can get some of this file back.

I did some more trials with and found that if I hit the "clear" button before trying to load a script, the script will not load. If I load a script without hitting the "clear" button, the script loads fine. If I load a script then hit clear and then try to load a script again, the script will not load. It seems there is something going on with the "clear" button.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

EDIT: Yeah, that clear button is messed up. :(

*digs around* I'm thinking that bug's been in there for a while...

OK, I fixed that bug and updated the dll on my site:

http://boltbait.googlepages.com/codelab

BuzzKill, please update and let me know if it fixes the problem for you.

*updating*...

*testing*...

All seems well. Pressing the "Clear" button before loading a script no longer prevents the script from loading. After a script is loaded, hitting the "Clear" button clears out the current script.

Looks like you got it. Problem solved.

Thanks!

Maybe you could change your effect's name to avoid confusion.

No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio

What 'confusion'?

What I did was upgrade CodeLab, not create a new, different CodeLab--it replaces CodeLab.

But, if you want to know if you are running the original CodeLab or my upgraded CodeLab, just look at its title bar. The original is "Alpha" and mine is "Alpha 2".

Your dll appends your alpha2 verison to the original, right? if so, when you open the effects window you have two listings for codelab with no distinction. I think that is the confusion he is talking about.

the .dll is named the same as the original. When pasting or extracting to the effect folder, Windows wil ask you if you want to replace the original with the newer one.

Yeah, but even if you replace the old one it still shows up in PDN. I even tried uninstalling PDN and just loading Boltbait's after the reinstall...both still show up.

Hmm, that's strange. It's only listed once in my list.

I mean by confusion the fact that it's not Tom, the original author of the codelab plugin, who update it. For example how would you manage bugs reports, see from which version did they come? Sth like "BoltBait's Codelab" will be fine for me.

But it's just my 2 cents, do whatever you want :)

I don't believe Tom is planning any future updates to the CodeLab tool.

So, I took it and fixed a bunch of bugs/enhancement requests.

When I'm done putting in the stuff I want to do (I'm trying to figure out how to make it include an icon) I will publish my source code. If Tom wants to publish an "official" update incorporating some/all of my changes, he is free to do that. In the mean time, at least *I* will enjoy a better working CodeLab--and you can too, as I like to share.

Oh, and as I said in a previous post, my version says "Alpha 2" in the title bar of the code editor. Tom's only says "Alpha". So, it isn't too hard to tell them apart.

BB,

any chance you'll be releasing the (enhanced) codelab source code? I've been playing with the idea to include some basic autocompletion facility....(no promises here, though)

Yes, I will release the source once I finish my changes.

I still want to add the ability to include a custom icon and submenu organization.

BTW, I've done some research about including an icon and it looks fairly easy. I just need to find some time to implement it. Also, putting effects into submenus is easy.

I'm working on another effect at the moment.

OK, I have made another large update to CodeLab.

You can now specify a menu icon, and a submenu name for your built DLL's.

Here is a screen shot of CodeLab just after pressing the Make DLL button and selecting an icon:

Oops! Where'd that screenshot go? :cry:

You can download the new dll here: http://boltbait.googlepages.com/codelab

By the way, if you store your PNG file (with the same name as your .cs file) in the C:/Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects folder, the dialog box will pick them up for you automatically.

Oh, and I fixed a bug where CodeLab would not report errors while building a DLL.

And, with that, I think I've implemented just about everything people have asked for. So, I'll be publishing the source code soon.

EDIT: Hmmm... wonder if I could set it up to support some type of UI creation... ;)
