Hello, is hot-reload feature working on macbook with latest IDEA?

@hoang You can activate the hot view reload feature in the TornadoFX run configuration. It requires the TornadoFX IDEA Plugin, and you must be running in debug mode. When you change a class, recompile it and the change will be picked up when you give focus back to the application.

The feature is called "Live Views" in the plugin.

ah, will do, thank you, @edvin , that's probably the missing step

@User uploaded a file:

@hoang Np. Let me know if it doesn't work for you 🙂

@edvin @mp it works for me with the steps given by Edvin. Thank you very much. 🙂

however, the need to recompile the class (Cmd+Shift+F9 on mac) make this whole live-reload alot less smooth

@hoang We have started working on a feature that will show the ui as you type in the editor. I will complete this feature after JavaOne.

that's pretty awesome @edvin

Does anyone know if it possible to split a column using a tableview builder?

like on this page: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/table-view.htm

Hello! Why does the chooseFile in Dialogs.kt does not allow to specify the initial directory?

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

@borboss It does, but not as a parameter. We have to draw the line somewhere I guess 🙂 Just add

initialDirectory =

inside the builder parameter.

I have added Map support to the bindings in ViewModel.

@edvin Oh, ok, still can’t be think within builder syntax 😉

We could probably add it, but you also would need initialFile etc, so it would be so many parameters that you would have to specify them by name anyways, so the only added boiler plate is the curlies really.

@edvin yeah, sure, the fact that initialDirectory was present in chooseDirectory confused me 😉

fun chooseDirectory(title: String? = null, initialDirectory: File? = null, owner: Window? = null, op: (DirectoryChooser.() -> Unit)? = null): File? {

Aha, I see 🙂

Trying to come up with a nice way to bind an entry in a map to a ViewModel.

@edvin Bindings.valueAt() ?

@carlw That would only be one way, right?

I need a bidirectional binding

Does the map contain properties?

Not in my use case.

Maybe it could just be a property that read and writes it's value to a specific key in the map?

would it work if you wrapped all the values in Properties and bound those bi-directionally?

Yeah, I think maybe I can get away cheap here. Trying something like that now.
