The site works now.

My review of today, V 0.14(a) -
I went to a friend of mine, and I installed on his Windows V0.14, and I saw that the file is 500kb smaller, and the application was modified slightly. mmm....

The application worked quite good, and demostrated the usage of the IDE for an hello wolrd consle application. Nice, as even the output was disaplyed inside the IDE. Now, the bad things:

The new version introduced the auto-hide tabs. The problems with this new system is:
  1. Size when minimized is too big. When you "hide" the tabs, the tab itself should have size of "0". I tried finding out how can I make the tab be zero sized when "hidden". Still nothing.
  2. Dock windows now have minimal size. You cannot shrink the dock windows too much now, as a minimal width (and hight) is enforced. My friend uses 800x600 which made the application unusable until I closed the dock windows. Even on my 1600x1024 this is a big no-no.
  3. They should not modify the lyaout. When you use the auto hide feature, when the tabs are showed, they should not be inside a lyaout, but "float" above in the window. This will lead to the text-editor not move arround when you hide/show the tabs. The idea of the text changing location just by moving the mouse cursor is bad.


Also, the implementation of the "Advanced more" in the project properties window must be changed. When you click the checkbox and the uncheck it, the window just looks bad, and taks too much space on screen.

Some random bugs,
  1. Still some menus have no shortcut (how can you open the View menu?).
  2. When dock windows are hidden, the menu entry for showing/hiding thenm contains an empty string.
  3. The toolbars are showed when you open the file menu, and you are in "auto hide" mode.
  4. Select all from the Edit menu, should have the "ctrl+a" shortcut.
  5. Click the close button on the main window, press esc, application exits (esc means "no, i dont want to quit").


I would like to ask for more featrures, and some better implementations for things. If you don't mind, I will start doying this in a day or two, I know I am boming you with my reports, I just don't want to make you work (too) hard.
