Silly behavior on Mageia 2

Hi,
I'm testing my Gambas3 application on the new Mageia 2 release, and
I'm encountering weird things:
1. There's no mp3 playback with gb.sdl.sound component
2. The Exist() cannot find existing files.
I have no such errors on Kubuntu..

I was a big fan of Mandriva, so I wanted to give a try to its fork,
but the result isn't very impressive. Moreover, I never had decent
results with any of big RPM based distributions ( openSuse, Fedora,
Mandriva and now Mageia too). There are nearly always dependency
problems. But in present case I just don't know what's wrong.

Any similar experiences, solutions?

Csaba

SDL must be allowed to play mp3 files, but I don't know if it is enabled 
at compilation time or by installing a specific library.

Please provide the value of System.Charset and System.Language.

My own experience is the contrary: I now use Kubuntu since two years, 
and it has been always far more buggy than Mandriva. I just find dpkg 
faster than rpm.

At the moment I'm trying to find why my right control key suddenly 
stopped working by emitting a key code that no application recognizes...

Re: Gridview Q and determining width of a string

Yes and no :-)

To adjust the width, use Table.Font.Width(LongestString), maybe with a 
for-next loop at first to check the contents of all cells in a column, 
delivering a pointer to the longest string. As far as I understand, the 
Table (or Grid) has one font only, so it can be easily set this way. 
Correct me if I'm wrong.

The WordWrap feature is switched on in one of my projects here, but I 
cannot find where quickly. Maybe I simply switched it on in the IDE as a 
default. Anyway, I'm having difficulties with the height of the line as 
it is not adapted automatically (at least this is my problem in Gambas2, 
I don't know how this is in Gambas3 yet).

In this context I really like your idea with the label though the way 
you use it is not necessary as you have Table.Font.Width to do this:

Ok, I just did some trial code, and it may run like this:

- Give a fixed Column.Width.
- Browse the strings and find out if Table.Font.Width(of the 
investigated Cell) is greater than the appropriate Column.Width.
- If yes: set the string into a TextLabel which has AutoResize = True 
and the Width of which is the same like Column.Width.

I fixed circular initialization problem in revision #4799.

Of course, now, you cannot suppose that a class is entirely initialized 
when using it as soon as there is a circular dependency like in your 
test project.

Transparent side panels

Hi,

In revision #4800, I added a "Transparent" to the SidePanel property to 
restore its old behaviour.

By default, Transparent is FALSE, and you get the old behaviour.

If you set Transparent to TRUE, you get the new behaviour, with the 
SidePanel handles appearing when the SidePanel border is hovered.

Regards,

Cool, but I hugely prefer that you commit your changes directly with

Re: sqlite database inside an executable

At program startup, you must copy the sqlite file from the executable 
(with COPY) to a real file in a temporary directory, and then open it.

Some methods of some components can do that automatically and 
transparently. But not gb.db.sqlite at the moment.
