Thank you, Andy! Donwloaded and soon I'll test it.

Thanks for the new release

Just a though, at every startup i got an AmigaDOS requester:

Quote:

Is it possible to avoid that automatically ?

Quote:

Yes add the assign to your user startup.

;BEGIN SketchBlock
Assign SketchBlock: <pathtosketchblock>
;END SketchBlock

add the DEFER option if you don't want the assign to appear in requesters until needed.

Solved, thanks Andy

About that in the future releases you may add a few line in readme

@Samo
Really? I need to explain how to add assign to user startup?

:shrug:

@broadblues
Why does it need a "Sketchblock:" assignment? Can't it just use "PROGDIR:"? If there are external "plugins" or scripts which need the assignment, then couldn't Sketchblock just issue something like:

AssignLock("Sketchblock", Lock("PROGDIR:", ACCESS_READ))

@Andy

Of course no, but you may advice the users that an assign is mandatory, altrough isn't better to get rid this assign at all ?

@ChrisH
As I explained at the end of this thread

http://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum ... t_id=72757#forumpost72757

the assign is used for ARexx to find the scripts referenced in the menus and now the keyboard shortcuts. Non of the alternate methods dealt with the situation that the 'commands' in the xml file could be either 'scripts' or internal ARexx commands, and that to add any extra parsing would be dupliacting the work that arexx.class is allready doing.

@Samo

It's not strictly mandatory as the user is encouraged to edit the xml prefs and create their own menu setups. (there will be a GUI for this later).

But, and I quote:

Ok understand

That is another option, similar the way AWeb created "AWebPATath:" when it was active. I have thought about that, but I was never sure how friendly a thing that was to do...

Would using APPDIR:Sketchblock be a better solution? No need for Sketchblock: assign in startup scripts.

Thanks for the update Andy.

thanks Andy! loving SketchBlock but where can I find PIL1.7?

edit: never mind saw type o from aw.net so it's PIL 1.17 not 1.7

Actualy it's PIL 1.1.7
