Here are a couple more items I've run across in Guideme.

In Windows, if you browse the images in a folder it creates a hidden system file called thumbs.db of thumbnails for the images.
Guideme will match this if given a wildcard spec like somefolder/*, even though it's a hidden file. The result is you randomly end up with no image, and are wondering why. I don't recall how java handles listing a folder, but shouldn't hidden files be excluded?

Also, in Guideme 1.4 or 1.5 there was a change in how the state file is handled for a tease. In 1.3 the state file was stored in the media folder with the same name as the tease. Now it gets stored in Guideme/data.

I have a large project in the works and keep a stable version in one folder and my development version in another. Now that the state file has moved to a fixed place the two are sharing a state file instead of each having their own. Can we have the state file stay with the main guide file like it did before. Now I have to create a separate copy of Guideme, and run Guideme from one folder when I want dev, and the other when I want my stable version instead of just loading the appropriate tease. If I forget to run the proper copy of Guideme, then it loads and updates the wrong state file.

It was way simpler and more intuitive before.

Thanks,

PG

I recently upgraded to a new iMac and I had not yet finished migrating everything from the old to the new Mac when the old one died. I saved all my TeaseMe and GuideMe resource files, but the application itself is lost.

Whomever provided a working Mac version, can you please contact me so I can get a new (and possibly updated) copy?

Also, a question perhaps better asked elsewhere: Is there anything like a Mac trial version of 1885's Tease AI program?

The problem I'm having that I've not been able to solve is how to create an array or such where once a image has been chosen, it won't be chosen again (effectively, choose each once at random). The other piece I can't figure out is how to display the file name as the text (I know it would have to be a variable for text, but no idea how).

Can someone help me out with this? Thanks.

Neither the images nor the text worked. I did add some static text to the pages (start and page1) just so I could see which page I was seeing at any given time, and that worked as expected. It just did not seem to load any images.

Am I missing something?

Have uploaded the file to mega
if you have images in a gn directory it should show them on page 1
Start page will be blank

The scroll bars should only show if the content is bigger than the control they are in.
The control sizes can be changed, the cursor should change when over a boundary where you can click and resize them.
You can also change the font sizes in application settings which will make content take up less space.

I have the same issue with the picture on the right appearing on all teases, having it appear makes the UI worse so I'm using teaseme instead for now. Is there a way to hide it unless needed yet?

OK, turns out my file was correct too. What I didn't take into account was that I was still using a really old build that didn't support it. Once I upgraded the app to current, it all works fine, what a surprise, lol.

Thanks.
