it seems quite appropriate for it to be a quark. Just my 2p, happy to
be outvoted.
Hi Andrea
Just curious: has anyone tested and/or included the Helper classes in
distro?
Yes, I wanted to make a new helpfile (A better one for one that I have
already) today.
I ran the latest Helper classes that you sent (early Jan) and it only brings
up the
_existing_ helpfile for the class. Then I try .makeAutoHelp and
AutoClassHelp
but those give me the following error (pasted below)
So basically (trying for 5 minutes) I couldn't use your system to create a
helpfile
for my class (that already had a helpfile). Your earlier system worked
better for me.
It was only when I removed the older helpfile that I could use your system
to
create a new one.
That said, I think your system is essential for making uniform helpfiles and
it
should be either available as Quarks or in the distro. It is a topic of
discussion
whether it needs to be part of the distro as most developers know how to use
the Quarks system.
Here is an example using SCTextView as the desired documented class:
Help.makeAutoHelp(SCTextView) // prompts for a path
ERROR: Message '<' not understood.
RECEIVER:
nil
ARGS:
Integer 21
CALL STACK:
etc....................
(I tried sending the whole dump but this evil mailing list rejected the size
of the mail)
