Bugs in JES ? #87

Open Symbister opened 9 years ago

Symbister commented 9 years ago

WritePictureTo(picture, file) does not work, no matter what syntax I use : writepicturetosnip Return(n) doesn't seem to do anything, and the "cursor-over-help" does nothing for that command using Win XP, JES 5.020 TIA

mjguzdial commented 9 years ago

My guess is that you don't have write privileges from JES in C: on that computer. Try using pickAFile() to find the path to a place where you know you can read/write files, then modify that string to define a new file.

Both of those are working for me:

[cid:84EE9008-4EC4-4A5B-BC4F-3F86F26631A7]

return won't give cursor-over-help because it's a Python built-in. We only provide the cursor-over-help for JES-specific functions.

Thanks Mark – sorted!

but being the only user of my machine, I thought I’d set read/write privileges globally.

On another issue, I’ve found a couple of inconsistencies in your book (Intro to Comp & Prog in Python), most programs in Chapter 4 have the argument for return not in parantheses, but Program 29 it is - is there a difference?

thanks

Richard

No, no difference. Just wrote them at a different time and a different style.

Hi Mark

still going through your book, got to Page 149 (3rd Ed) , tried to download Media Tools as per instructions, got the .image file, dragged to Squeak, nothing happens. Tried running squeak.exe from the directory and opening .image into it – nothing happens.

any ideas?

and now I can’t delete the Squeak folder to try again...have to re-boot L

thanks

No, I don't. Squeak has always been super-robust for me. Did you download Squeak from Squeak.org? The one for your platform? I don't get how Squeak could mess up the folder so that you couldn't delete it.

Thanks Mark, yes downloaded Squeak-all-in-one, unzipped on Windows, ran squeak.bat.

I’ve posted on the Discussion Board in my local BlackBoard for the course I’m doing, so hopefully somebody will know..

cheers

Hard to tell what's going on. You don't have to have the MediaTools for the class. I find them useful for introducing sound (see https://youtu.be/mjwCWGOil1Y), but most teachers don't use them.
