It really starts looking ok, I hope I'll be able to check that in at the end of this week or beginning of next one.

It's a very very early prototype...

Rotations
09:02 - By BlueGriffon - Progress
As you probably noticed, I am currently implementing CSS 2D rotations in BlueGriffon. But that's dialog-based. I also started working on something better... And since I don't think another implementation has hit the market yet, BlueGriffon will probably be the first wysiwyg web editor to propose direct CSS-based pointer-driven rotation of an element inside the editor's viewport. Stay tuned!

Word count
16:06 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - one comment
I decided to make a short break from bluegriffon's core and I spent an hour implementing a new add-on : WordCount. Yeah, you got it, it counts the number of words in the current document. But it can also enable a visual warning if that word count goes above a user-defined limit.

- still working on the Projects Manager that does not share a single line of code with Nvu/Kompozer's site manager (BlueGriffon is entirely rewritten from scratch). The associated Publish button will also be much more powerful. Mime Cuvalo, the author of FireFTP, has formally authorized me to use his ftp stack's code inside BlueGriffon. I must say that implementing all the ftp high-level features is now hyper-simple. Thanks a lot Mime !

- lot of work on the Image Insertion dialog,
- even more work on the Projects Manager, totally rewritten because I was not happy with the former iteration of it. If you remember the old Site Manager of Nvu and the Publish Settings of Mozilla Composer and Nvu, they'll look totally prehistoric compared to the new Projects Manager and its integration in other dialogs of the app (links, image, external objects). Publishing (on a remote site) will be MUCH better than in Nvu, publishing all external objects including stylesheets and even imported stylesheets... It will also be integrated with the Templates Manager so you can add in one-click a page template you just downloaded from the Web. Yay!

JSCSSP in BlueGriffon
22:03 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - one comment
JSCSSP, our CSS parser in JavaScript, is now used by BlueGriffon to preserve all the contents of stylesheets, including unrecognized properties, unrecognized at-rules and comments between rules or between declarations (other comments not preserved yet). On a side note, JSCSSP now passes all relevant tests in the CSS 3 Namespaces Test Suite.

- JSMs
- UI work on tabs
- bugfixes in the activeView
- activeView now an add-on
- autocomplete in Open URL dialog
- close button
- quit menu was horked
- tried to switch to Bespin 0.7.1 but it relies on window.localStorage and that beast does not seem to be available inside an iframe or browser XUL element in a xulrunner-based application. Keeping my old version of bespin for the time being.

I'm currently ironing the ActiveView (that had a few bugs) and the JSMs. Will check that in as soon as it's ready.

Editor weirdnesses
10:25 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - 2 comments
I think I just found a weirdness in the editingSession and the docshell. If I try to edit a document having a chrome://* URL, scripts and plugins are not correctly disabled. I needed that to store "blank" transitional and strict html and xhtml documents into my jars. Even if I call disableJSAndPlugins() on the editingSession, scripts and plugins are not disabled or disabled only until major changes of the edited document. Not sure it's a bug though, there could be a good reason for this behavior. Anyway, workarounds are easy to implement.

Script Inspector

It's done. v1.0 as an add-on to the core editor. Precisely one day and a half of work.

Script manager
11:38 - By BlueGriffon - Progress
BlueGriffon has a new sidebar to handle all scripts declared inside the <head> element (scripts inside the <body> element will be visible inline and clickable to edit). The editor for embedded scripts is of course Bespin.
