• ANNOUNCE: Multi-column listbox and tree widget package Tablelist 6.15.1

    From nemethi@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 13 13:19:45 2021
    This is to announce version 6.15.1 of the multi-column listbox and
    tree widget package Tablelist.

    What is new in Tablelist 6.15.1?
    --------------------------------

    This is a bugfix-only release. The only corrected file in the "scripts" directory is "tablelistUtil.tcl".

    1. Guarded against potential endless loops, triggered in the previous
    Tablelist release by the presence of hidden columns and a strictly
    positive value of the "-titlecolumns" option (thanks to Johann
    Oberdorfer for his bug report).

    How to get it?
    --------------

    Tablelist is available for free download from the URL

    https://www.nemethi.de

    The distribution file is "tablelist6.15.1.tar.gz" for UNIX and "tablelist6_15_1.zip" for Windows. These files contain the same
    information, except for the additional carriage return character
    preceding the linefeed at the end of each line in the text files for
    Windows.

    Tablelist is also included in tklib, which has the address

    https://core.tcl.tk/tklib

    How to install it?
    ------------------

    Install the package as a subdirectory of one of the directories given
    by the "auto_path" variable. For example, you can install it as a
    directory at the same level as the Tcl and Tk script libraries. The
    locations of these library directories are given by the "tcl_library"
    and "tk_library" variables, respectively.

    To install Tablelist on UNIX, "cd" to the desired directory and unpack
    the distribution file "tablelist6.15.1.tar.gz":

    gunzip -c tablelist6.15.1.tar.gz | tar -xf -

    On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with

    tar -zxf tablelist6.15.1.tar.gz

    Both commands will create a directory named "tablelist6.15.1 with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

    On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the distribution file "tablelist6_15_1.zip" into the directory
    "tablelist6.15.1", with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and
    "scripts".

    How to use it?
    --------------

    The Tablelist distribution provides two packages, called Tablelist and Tablelist_tile. The main difference between the two is that
    Tablelist_tile enables the tile-based, theme-specific appearance of
    tablelist widgets; this package requires Tcl/Tk 8.4 or higher and tile
    0.6 or higher. It is not possible to use both packages in one and the
    same application, because both are implemented in the same "tablelist" namespace and provide identical commands.

    To be able to use the commands and variables implemented in the package Tablelist, your scripts must contain one of the lines

    package require tablelist ?version?
    package require Tablelist ?version?

    Likewise, to be able to use the commands and variables implemented in
    the package Tablelist_tile, your scripts must contain one of the lines

    package require tablelist_tile ?version?
    package require Tablelist_tile ?version?

    Since the packages Tablelist and Tablelist_tile are implemented in the "tablelist" namespace, you must either import the procedures you need,
    or use qualified names like "tablelist::tablelist".

    For a detailed description of the commands and variables provided by
    Tablelist and of the examples contained in the "demos" directory, see
    the tutorial "tablelist.html" and the reference pages, all located in
    the "doc" directory.

    Thanks for that, we ran into the problem also. For me, however, the Windows link on nemethi.de is broken and also the tar link does end up in a page saying "300 Mulitple Choices", but at least the package is there.

    I have just tested both links successfully (with Firefox). I have no
    idea why they don't work for you. Can anybody reproduce the problem experienced by Torsten?

    Hmmm, just tested again, now it works ... mysterious. Maybe just a small hickup on that server ....

    Egad. This could be useful to a project I've been working on, but I never
    even knew it existed, and I'm so far into my own project and have written
    so much code already that I will just go on and stick to what I have.
    Yours looks better, but I guess the world can't have too many options.

    Really great stuff, thank you for the detailed work on each visible
    pixel. You rock !

    I am also happy, that a couple of this work will go into TK8.7.
    For me, all this functionality should be in the core.

    Thanks again,
    Harald
