@amanda.hinchman-dominguez You can even switch views inside the

onUserSelect

handler 🙂

This is perfect! Thank you! While I'm terribly new at TornadoFX, I do love how usable these features are and how you can involve features in others. Truly a simple boilerplate. Now I just need to get familiar with these features 😄

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez Great! Some of this stuff can be a little deceptive in the beginning, so if you get stuck or get some weird behavior just post your code and tell us what you want it to do and we'll find a solution 🙂

@carlw thanks for the suggestion, this will likely be a feature I'll need to use once the basic idea is down

When you get to switching views, we have a

replaceWith

function that's very handy.

@edvin uploaded a file: TornadoFX Transitions

these transitions are really neat, my coworkers will definitely be impressed. I had a discussion with my manager about javafx and newer libraries - he believes that older is usually better because there is an eventual limitation to features that can be used. However, because this community is active and usability seems to be vast, I'm determined to prove him wrong and wow him with how simple code can be for javafx (and how much faster the app can react!)

@edvin speaking of macs...i’m going to verify #512 on my mac

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez To me it looks like some of the "mature" libraries are not seeing much love, while we are still progressing and we have a pretty active community. We're also much more likely to add any missing features quickly, especially when there are actual use cases. Most if not all of the features we've added have been "use case driven". Another very important point is that even if you base your app on TornadoFX, you can still use any other component framework in symphony without issues 🙂

@carlw Ah great! I wanted to get my mac up and running to test myself, but it died on me again.

It's midnight here, gotta get to bed 🙂 Will try to get the release out tomorrow, but I really want to test some of the changes good this time, we've made a lot of internal refactoring.

talk to you tomorrow

Sweet! Have a good night 🙂

The last part was definitely the driving factor for me to decide to try TornadoFX out! Yikes, if I wanted to reference an image from a folder, should I try to give it a full path? I tried referencing it like this: "../img/MetroTileHomepage4.png"

where are the images? usually it will be relative to the classpath root like /img/Metro.png

@edvin, thanks for the info. I will take a closer look at the example.

Now my mac’s going crazy! 1 hr 9 mins to install jdk 1.8.0 152

ah - it didn't freak out with "file:../img/MetroTileHomepage4.png", however the page isn't rendering. I'll try that. The images are located in another folder in the same tier as the parent folder

once you get something going, you’ll likely separate these out from the source code / binary code. ex, a cloud service, a file repository with some handy search features

Yes that's what I want. Like Jetbrains "Invalidate Caches and Restart" command. I guess I should go look at community edition's sources and see how they do it.

@edvin I wasn’t able to reproduce the Mac issue from #512. I ran against _121 and _152.

@edvin spoke with the OP. looks like you can close #512 when you get a chance (closed by OP)

So the way Jetbrains does it is by starting a system process (native program or python in the case of linux) that waits for IDEA's pid to go away, then it (re)launches IDEA

@carlw You nailed it! Thanks a lot! There is another issue like this, pretty sure he has JDK9 installed as well :)

What version of OS X is running on your Mac?

Is it possible to drag & drop a file or folder into a view and get it’s path?

nevermind
