Improving Simplepad desktop app.

[Youngestdev]

Simplepad is a GUI desktop enviroment built with simple. It is a text editor which might eventually become SIMPLE's code editor. It currently has dummy menu's which will be worked upon and the improvements will be documented in this issue.

Features..

It currently houses a lot of functionalities which are yet to be functioning. It has normal file operations like:

• File
  • Open
  • Save
  • Save As
  • Close
  • Exit.
• Edit
  • Undo
  • Copy
  • Edit
• Search
  • Search
  • Replace.
• Program
  • Run i.e, to run the file: this is a feature that'll give live preview of what we're building.
  • Debug
  • Build executable.
• About - I recently added the about menu.

What's failing ?

Menu options do not work except for About.

Todo

Fix all issues listed above and make it function well.

I think one major setback for the SIMPLEPAD's desktop app is the unavailability of an onClick function such that if a user clicks open, the file is open and the contents are spread out in the editors workplace. I've tried writing one but didn't work. @Thecarisma What do you have to say ?

[Youngestdev]

But I think an alternative for onClick is the .callback() function.. I'll be looking into it.

@Thecarisma hope we ain't sleeping on this ?

Any progress on this ?

[Thecarisma]

No progress on this because the development for simple-pad has been halted due to the fact that it depends on the fulltick module which is still very much in it infancy. An alternate to this is to use the REPL which is the command line option similar to python repl.

The fulltick module is very much in development and can be used create reasonable GUI programs for all platform including android, but it still has some lot of issues.

Alright...
