[NF] PhotoPea, a browser based Photoshop clone.
by Alan Bourke 16 Jan '20

16 Jan '20

https://www.photopea.com/ Useful if you can't or don't want to download a locally installed graphics editor. Seems to be WebGL based. Amazing how fully-featured browser applications can be now. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Nostalgia -- updating an app written 15+ years ago
by MB Software Solutions, LLC 15 Jan '20

15 Jan '20

Offered one of my clients 20 free dev hours in 2020 hoping to spur more business moving their suite of apps I've provided since 2003 forward. Modifying one app now that I can a comment dated 2004-12-28. Gives a nice warm feeling to be working on this app again. It was redesigned some time ago to use MySQL as the backend instead of DBFs and uses the 3-tier (UI/BizObj/DataObj) design, so I'm confident it'll be easy to work on. (Knock on wood!) I'm sure some of you have gone back into your archives and felt good about some apps you've designed long ago. Just wanted to share the moment/feeling. ;-)

Thanks Malcolm. I've bookmarked the website. John John Weller 01380 723235 07976 393631 -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech <profoxtech-bounces(a)leafe.com> On Behalf Of Malcolm Greene Sent: 03 January 2020 12:46 To: profoxtech(a)leafe.com Subject: Re: Hacker's Guide, Section 4, now live on github.io! John, Not much traffic on ProPython. Google for the Python Tutor email list and the Python (.org) email list and join those. Stackoverflow also carries a lot of Python traffic. Welcome to the dark side ;) Malcolm

Easiest way to keep person from navigating off a page
by MB Software Solutions, LLC 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

VFP9SP2. Scenario: pageframe with several pages. Goal: force user to stay on page if invalid data entry on that page. I'm trying to think of the best, non-kludgey way to prevent the user navigating to a different tab if an invalid condition exists. I was dabbling with the Page.Activate but I'm starting to get kludgey with flags and trickery. There is no Page.Valid event. Suggestions?
