Ah, I did not serialize my observable list though.

I'll come back with an update

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez Maybe you could just use json for serialization/deserialization? That also makes it more portable if you need to transfer the data over the web later on.

There is an issue or should i say a shortcoming when using fxlauncher fxlauncher { applicationVendor 'Company' applicationUrl 'https://abc.com/app/' applicationMainClass com.example.Executor acceptDowngrade false deployTarget 'gaurav@example.com:/app' nativeLibraryPath 'libs/' } I am using the below command to start the main app from the executor class which is first executed using the fxLauncher I.E val EXECUTE_APP_COMMAND = "$jdkPath -classpath '$jarPath com.example.MainApp'" fxlaucher provides this JAR which wraps up all the JAR dependencies along with it However, since the FxLauncher starts the executor class rather than the main app, I am not able to use the above command

@edvin maybe there's a lighter weight way to go? amanda could capture the drag events, but skip the whole dataformat/serialization/clipboard thing. I could see the extra formality being needed if you're interacting outside the app, say dragging a text file onto the application and having the application read in data produced outside the app. i'm thinking maybe she can use the drag events, but not worry about the dataformats,etc

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez this code (i think you saw it before) does "drag-and-drop" but doesn't work with the clipboard, etc to actually transfer anything. maybe you can use your drag events in this way?

@carlw Absolutely, if it's all in-app, that's the easiest thing you can do.

wow, thanks so much for the feedback guys. It's always 1 step forward and 2 steps back with these things 😬

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez are you interacting with objects outside your app like the file system? if not, you may want to consider just a straight-up graphical objects manipulation and abandon the clipboard. in fact, the clipboard action might interfere with your users . they'll have cut-and-pasted something and then dragging around will clear that out in favor of a Tile

haven't seen the code, but you can probably recycle the actions and event handling

absolutely not. If that's the case, I don't need to worry about clipboard or dataformat and just capture drag-and-drop events with a graphical object?

Let me go ahead and push, but I'll post the repo in a second

check out what I'm saying. cut a chunk of text then go over and drag some objects. see if the clipboard is messed up when you try to paste

Good point, @carlw - DND doesn't have to involve the clipboard, in fact in-app it probably shouldn't.

involving the clipboard might be a little non-standard. suppose a user copies a CSS color #f2ecd9 from a corporate .css file to style one of the Tiles…then the user drags a Tile on the layout. When the user goes to paste the contents in a background color textfield, they get the string representation of the Tile (say "Tile@ef5693b") put in what's supposed to be a hex color

does anyone know how to adjust the spacing between a Button text and its graphic? Thanks

there's a property called graphicTextGapp

that was easy, you just need to know it... Thanks @carlw!

@edvin The fix for runAsync looks good on Ubuntu!

@carlw Perfect! I'll look over some open github issues and see if I can solve a couple of them and then do another release. I don't like this bug being left hanging 🙂

GMK Nautilus is coming tomorrow for that board you sent me! @edvin

@carlw Oh, sweet!

I tried to inject my fragment back into a controller, but the console says the inferred type fragment is not a subtype of scopeinstance

I should probably use a scope instead

oh, you cannot inject a fragment. I'll have to find a workaround

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez uploaded a file: Not sure what to set leavingTile to

I hope I set the contents correctly without clipboard!
