titlebar shows wrong name, tab and system-names are ok. application/zip 2008-12-02 00:44 142.70 KB

Description:   Opened: 2008-12-02 00:41
some of my students have reported an exception for sketches that they created, closed and
reopened on win-xp (non-english). the name of the sketch is shown wrongly in the titlebar
(abbreviated, uppercase and with a tilde) but ok on the tab and system. it does not contain any
special chars. the exception happens if you try to run the sketch (something about "token(s)"), i
will paste it here once the student has mailed it to me. the sketches run fine if you copy-paste
them into a new sketch.

Can you confirm that this only happens when they double-click on a .pde
file to open the sketch?

Also, why are they using 0156? Please have them use the newer releases so
I'm not chasing phantom bugs that have already been fixed.

And if 1.0 doesn't work for them, please have them file bugs so we can get
that fixed as well. Particularly in a case where they're using a
non-English / non-Roman system, we badly need help testing that sort of
thing, so having you around to help look into issues is enormously helpful.

reported exception was:
Syntax errors on token(s), misplaced construct(s)

i had a student in the mainz class yesterday with the same problem on a german win-xp and
1.0.1. i will ask them to test double clicking.

But again, I need you to confirm that this only happens when they
double-click on a .pde
file to open the sketch, or whether it's being caused by File > Open (or
even File > New for that matter). In either case it's a very different bug.

jep, i know. mailed them already and one student reported back that it happend upon double-
clicking, still waiting for the others to confirm that too.

i'm meeting them maybe tomorrow, monday latest. so i will be able to test hands-on then.

Cool, thanks. I suspect (hope) it's just on double-click, since that's
easily remedied. If it does it at all stages of "Open" (e.g. opening from
File > Open or the sketchbook) that's gonna be a lot less fun to deal with.

Yay Windows!

I've added a fix for 1.0.2 that should take care of it.
