One other note: having multiple versions installed can also cause problems, e.g. if you (or your student/tech/etc.) accidentally run a version other than you in...

You're welcome to make separate "Application Folder" builds for your users, but it looks pretty ghetto/remedial from where I'm sitting.

Is there a reason for th...

Agreed on all of these -- none of them were meant to be permanent resting places, they were just expedient places to put things until something better could be ...

Users might be less reluctant to try a new version of MWorks if they could install it alongside the current version, rather than being required to replace the o...

Currently, MWorks uses the following directories for storing data files, configuration files, and cache files, respectively:

• /Documents/MWorks/Data/
• /Library/A...

The test_mworks script (added in commit 80070007dab93e01f581ff5332be136f1c34e6c7) implements the easy approach. However, we should still consider implementing t...

Implemented in commit c2d7e990ffe8827d33fc277dab698867c55547a2

Well, presumably we'd make sure it actually was called if it were included, but giving developers a method that always gets called immediately prior to destruct...

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of replacing startup with "initialize" and dropping shutdown. Mostly, I'm imagining how silly the explanatio...

Not sure why drawInUnitSquare takes any argument at all (does not appear to be used anywhere). Need to investigate this and simplify ASAP if possible, since thi...

Works for me. Keeping IODevice::finalize in our territory also gives us wiggle room to add additional/different "finalizing" stuff in the future, while giving u...

Chris: have you found any specific examples of the startup/shutdown being used in an irreplaceable way?

No. It looks like these methods are no-ops for most IO...

One thing that we should be careful to document/keep-straight in the refactored version of the base class is when each of these gets called. This ends up being ...

Assigned to Tender discussion #1. It would be useful if users could access variables with array and dictionary values. In particular, the ability to access sel...

This has been done by Chris.

We'll need to carefully decide what the correct behavior is for handling this. And even with a namespace mechanism in place, we should endeavor to avoid name co...

The current IODevice base class is unnecessarily complicated. It should be renamed LegacyIODevice (to support the current ITC-18 plugin) and derive from a new, ...

I'm going to set this to resolved, since we haven't seen in quite some time, since disabling GC.

We haven't seen this intermittent crash in many moons, so I am going to close it for now, assuming the above described fixes have removed the problem. We can re...

As noted in the Tender discussion, the GT120 is more closely related to the 9400M than its naming convention would suggest (GT120 == rebranded 9500GT silicon). ...

As of 5/3/2010, my survey results indicate that of approximately 19 represented users, only 2 say they are unwilling and/or unable to use a 10.6-only MWorks. (B...

Currently, plugin signatures go into a global namespace. Hence, if there are two different plugins that include the following in their respective MWLibrary.xml:

Nicole reported a similar problem with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 under 10.5.8

Assigned to Tender discussion #2.

Fixed in commit d2bf6946a20162dd1a5ce14fb11b177199ed770b

Assigned to Tender discussion #2. See the Tender discussion for a potential fix.

Assigned to Tender discussion #5. Currently, users have no easy way to figure out what version of MWorks they're running. (The "About" dialogs for the applicat...

We should distribute compiled binaries of the MWorks Python modules for multiple Python versions and distributions. Minimally, we should support the system defa...

Right now, there's a single test runner for all cppunit-based tests, but there's no canned way to run all marionette tests and summarize the results. It'd be ni...

Currently, all the MWorks apps have good CFBundleIdentifier values (e.g. org.mworks-project.MWClient). However, most of the plugins have default/arbitrary/meani...

Currently, plugin writers are responsible for creating and registering a stimulus node object for their new object in the plugin's factory object. It would be n...
