Possibly. It will depend on how many changes are made to 4.3b1 and how complicated they are.confocaloid wrote: ↑March 26th, 2024, 9:18 amGiven that several issues were already reported after Golly 4.3b1 was made available, will there be a second beta build (4.3b2) at some point before the release?

Re: Golly 4.3b1
Are these intended? Most of those keys are Windows specific so I'd rather not try to support them, especially because I wouldn't be able to test them (apart from caps lock, my Mac keyboard doesn't have any of those keys). I'm not even sure if wxWidgets can detect some of those key presses. Given th...

Re: Golly 4.3b1

Re: safeopenclip.lua usability issues
It might not be necessary, though; let's see what can be done with a pop-up HTML page with a clickable link. I think it makes a lot of sense to do that. Gives you a lot more flexibility. For example, you could easily display any comments in the pattern file (see this script for example). You could ...

Re: Golly 4.3b1
Running the script goto.lua on the quoted pattern, and entering 2738059586423623206 does not go immediately to the specified generation, but instead goes to 2738059586423623170. Looks like you're hitting a limitation in Lua. Unlike Python, Lua doesn't support arbitrarily large numbers (note that ma...

Or, even better, is there anyone who dislikes the hanging-indent so much that they're willing to go through the whole pattern collection and change the comments so they're in some other consistent format?

Re: Suggested patterns for Golly
Not sure where we would put patterns that need a script to execute. Not exactly sure if this is relevant, but if you create a zip file containing a single pattern file (.rle, .mc, whatever) and a single script (.lua or .py) then when Golly opens the zip file it loads the pattern and then runs the s...

I'm also in the not-interested-in-Discord camp. Not for any great ideological reasons -- I just prefer to keep my use of social media to a minimum, especially on sites that require me to register and login.

Here's a Lua script that displays the current pattern's comments in Golly's help window, but with clickable links to any http sites or pattern references, so maybe a nice alternative to View > Pattern Info.
