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.

Fullscreen
17:30 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - one comment
Fullscreen implemented with hideable toolbars and a 5 pixels box at the top to show the toolbars in fullscreen mode. On Mac OS X too

Rulers
14:41 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - 3 comments
I have almost entirely revamped the rulers in BlueGriffon. The original code came from Nvu and used a few big hacks. That original code is totally gone and the rulers are now based on SVG. So if you have enhancement proposals with nice UI ideas for these rulers, please leave a comment, thanks.

Bespin in BlueGriffon #2
18:31 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - 3 comments
If you except minor issues that are more related to the preview of Bespin than Bluegriffon itself, the integration of Bespin as the default source editor is almost done. I am currently working on something new in the world of Mozilla Composer/Nvu/Kompozer/Bluegriffon: users will be able to edit the doctype and change that way the model of the edited document...

Bespin in BlueGriffon
12:14 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - 7 comments
Warning, it's in a very very early state so don't get too excited too soon. And there are a few big issues with Bespin at this time, but hey that's normal it's only a 0.5.
- resizing the editor makes the line numbers disappear ; a CR in the editor make them come back
- syntax highlight is now a plugin and gone for the time being
- you can't embed direct Bespin in XUL because it uses innerHTML and that one fails inside a XUL document
- so you need an iframe and that's painful wrt editor/chrome communication
- it has issues with rtl text
- but hey, it's already usable as is so mucho congrats to the Bespin team !
Update: yes, I know, I wrote somewhere a langer nun instead of a nun ; my bad.

Resurrection
17:50 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - 3 comments
After many months busy on other projects for third-parties, I am resurrecting BlueGriffon. In the last hours, I have added charset and text direction choices to the New Document wizard and fixed the toolbar customization that broke with recent xulrunner nightly builds due to ancient code. Stay tuned.

Templates Manager #5
17:17 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - 3 comments
I'm almost done with the templates manager. It now correctly saves locally (or pushes to the remote server) the unzipped version of a template package. I have one bug to fix in the main window and a progressmeter to add for remote storage. And done. Woof. The result is really beautiful, and impressively simple to use. I sincerely hope a lot of template repositories are going to jump on that.

Happy New Year
10:14 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - 2 comments
The BlueGriffon Team wishes you a very happy new year 2009!
Speaking of wishes, BlueGriffon will not only be able to apply themes to a page, but also get themes from online repositories. We're working on a themes' manifest all web sites distributing themes could serve. Giving the URL of that file to BlueGriffon would be the only thing needed to use a theme coming from that web site inside BlueGriffon. Stay tuned.

Project manager #2
17:58 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - one comment
Nvu's Site Manager was clearly not enough. BlueGriffon's Project Manager starts really being cool and it will be much more powerful than its ancestor. Link checking, sync with remote site and so on. Stay tuned.

CSS-based Layouts #2

Usually, the second revamping of a dialog starts looking good.... So here's the first one and I find it much much better than the original proposal:

CSS-based Layouts
17:49 - By BlueGriffon - Progress - 3 comments
I have some great news : I got formal authorization from Yahoo! to add YUI-based CSS Layouts to BlueGriffon. Let me thank Yahoo! (and in particular Nate Koechley and Christian Heilmann) and then Jake Myers, the guy behind the famous http://layouts.ironmyers.com. The first visible result is the new "New page wizard" that is not checked in yet. See below a very early screenshot of that wizard. Warning, the UI is not at all finalized.

Mac

We just built BlueGriffon for the first time on a Mac, only to discover we have a lot to do on the theme's side for that platform. But thanks to Laurent, we now have a cool build process on all platforms that will allow us to push fresh meat to this web site more often than before.
