CLOG 1.4 - Dev Journal

[rabbibotton]

The main goal of CLOG 1.4 is to improve the builders ability to layout controls, improve interface and overall speed.

[rabbibotton]

Now moving and resizing dynamically resizes controls not just a bounding box
Control "snap" around and to each other

[rabbibotton]

No longer has excessive repolling of properties resulting in incredible speed difference for using the buidler

[rabbibotton]

support on-load property for control-records for reattaching custom code after page load and support for composite controls

[rabbibotton]

New feature that is really cool :) - if permissions granted to clog builder then will use the system clip board. This means you can copy items to the clip board, paste in a text editor and modify the HTML and paste back. You can also just select html and from any place and paste it in to the builder - make sure it is wrapped in a div ideally.

[rabbibotton]

Implemented keyboard and also browser menu support for cut/copy/paste cmd/crl-x/c/v

[rabbibotton]

Icon bar :)

[rabbibotton]

More work towards new look and feel. The right panel can be shut and open clicking on black bar.

[rabbibotton]

Little more work on style :)

[rabbibotton]

You can now use keyboard arrows to move around controls, shift-and arrows to resize

[rabbibotton]

added shift+mouse click to make target control a child of current control

[rabbibotton]

you can now drop directly on other controls, if hit shift become children
if ctrl/command static placed
double click on control makes it unreachable so can adjust children

[rabbibotton]

Added to all common elements and form elements a :style option for hand coding ease.

[rabbibotton]

Rendered builder code will now keep the data-clog-name attribute. This way when needed you can use the control names set in the builder with JavaScript and other code since the html id changes and can not be used:

(js-execute target "$('[data-clog-name='button-1']').css('color','red')")

[rabbibotton]

with that change - the labels "for" property can now be set using the control's name and persist in saves and of course in renders.

[rabbibotton]

Undo and Redo implemented

[aykaramba]

Amazing!

[rabbibotton]

For sure is, if you have a bunch of controls embedded in a div and a little slip of your finger all gone... So this was a must :)

[rabbibotton]

New tool : image-to-data in the tools menu

Convert an image to embedded data that can be place directly in your Lisp source or html files or even pasted in to a CLOG Builder property such as src-url on an img. This removes need to distribute an image file.

[rabbibotton]

tool tips on menu bars

[aykaramba]

Amazing.

[rabbibotton]

alignment boxes

[rabbibotton]

clog-gui's server-file-dialog works properly now when initial-path has a filename and set builder to use decent defaults

[rabbibotton]

Size adjustable palette vs control list panes

[rabbibotton]

copy/cut history window, any copy or cut made in builder saved to a buffer of entire session and accessible in the copy history window.

[rabbibotton]

added quick start window to the help
