Hi, all. Maybe this time that's a little bit more than a starter?..
see video

Major things left to do:
1.better clipping esp from RichText
2.better font management and glyphs
3.mouse over images (premultiply?)
4.more clipboard formats
5.finish menus
6.dnd
7.multi-threading
8.printing
9.cleaning and some known bugs
10.things I forgot to mention above

I estimate 1 week of work for each. So approx. 10 weeks.
Reasonably useable level is possible (but not likely) in 1 month with my effort and some consultations from U++ experts. Because I am stuck on some things from U++ side. Also there're BIG IFS - if I have a luxury to have that time AND my iMac would crash less than 15 times per day (due to faulty not replaceable video card).
(to be continued...)

Now this looks very promising. Perhaps we can dedicate next release to Mac...

Do you commit these things somewhere? Like sandbox?

11. Chameleon for MacOSX. We do not want to look U++ apps like winxp, right?

Very impressive! Keep up the good job!

I do not have a Mac yet, but maybe I'll get one in the not-so-distant future...

Best regards,

Tom

Mirek, Koldo and Tom! thanks for your kind and encouraging words! I really hope that u++ mac os x cocoa port will make a big difference in u++ marketing arena and will help u++ one day to win against std, boost, QT and the likes which I dont want to mention Smile

- one of the reasons why I have dedicated so much of my life to u++. I also hope that the experience and code I have accumulated since 2005 finally will start finding its way to the u++ sources.

Now about committing and making my upp cocoa lines into the nearest u++ release.
Mirek,
1. the last time I tried to commit to your server after 3 days I lost my patience - I suspect I would need to steal some of your valuable time at some point and spend together if you don't mind. Maybe we can arrange via PM?
2. I also expect that to apply 1 line patch to the Core will take less than 45 days as it happened with "IsNan"? Some of my friends in London whom I tried to involve into the development were not impressed and found other areas of interest.
