I quickly had two “issues” with it (on Windows), and wonder if they are already addressed:
The tabs became very tall, even when not using the title bar tab mode and after decreasing the font size. Is there a setting to decrease their height back to the original size?
Updating my VS2022-like theme, I can no longer pick color opacities in the settings theme color table. Clicking the slider just closes the color popup, and adjusting it with the keyboard does not apply the chosen opacity. Sadly, the 1tm theme files seem to have a proprietary format, and I cannot figure out where to change the opacity in them aswell.
I also have some questions / feature requests:
Can the decimal/hex display format be made available for the template results Start and Size columns aswell?
The following template code would complain that Variable 'x' has already been declared if there is more than 1 row:
for (int y = 0; y < rows; ++y)
{
for (int x = 0; x < cols; ++x)
{
I know that modern variable scope is not a thing in templates yet, but is there a chance to at least see x and y becoming scoped to their for-blocks itself, allowing loops and reuse like this?
Thank you for your continued work on this product.
Thanks for taking a look at the beta. The tab height has increased on Windows from 24 pixels to 30 pixels because it looks a little better when the tabs are in the title bar. We don’t have an option right now to go back to the thinner tabs but and could add that in, but I’m not sure if we’ll be able to get it in before the full release. The opacity slider should be fixed in beta2 which should go up in a few days, and it is also very easy to add in a decimal/hex option to the start and size columns.
You are correct that having nested for statements like this causes an error and it would be nice if it worked correctly. Scoping for variables has always been tricky in 010 Editor since template variables always exist even outside { } blocks. We made local variables have the same scoping rules as template variables but perhaps we should have switched to ANSI C style scoping. We could still make this change at some point but it may break a lot of templates and scripts. In this case, a work-around could be that if you declare ‘int x’ inside a for loop and the x variable already exists, then it is overwritten. That would allow the nesting to work and we’ll take a look at this more. Cheers!
Quick idea for the tab size issue (absolutely not urgent): it might not need to be another option - if the tabs are not in the titlebar, they should revert to the old 24px, otherwise take the new 30px height.
I also found a bug with the new tab title bar: It does not reposition tabs of vertically split documents properly when:
you dock the application window to the side of the desktop (Win7+ windowing feature) or otherwise change the window size instantly without entering a drag-resize
you maximize the window, causing tabs to disappear
We just put up 16.0beta2 here: 010 Editor - Beta Release This version should fix the tab issue you mentioned and should also fix the opacity slider. Decimal/Hex can now be used for the Start/Size column. We managed to sneak in an option to switch back to the smaller tabs and that is on the ‘Theme/Colors’ Options dialog under ‘Options > Use Taller Tabs’. For nested ‘for’ statements, it also automatically overwrites any existing local variables so that your code should work now.
Nice theme by the way. In the future we want to make more themes available and we may even allow themes to be added to our repository so they can easily be shared between users. This would be a good theme to have available for other users.
Thanks so much, that sounds great. Indeed, I can confirm everything I reported is now fixed / added!
As a small extra wish from me (last one for now, I promise!): since you can already hide the Type column, can we hide the color and comment columns too? I never found them really useful as I don’t use comments and just want colors to highlight my hex editing area, not “waste” space in the template results.
Great idea for the theme repository - I did create some Visual Studio-esque themes over the years as I like all my applications to look the same (as good as possible). I’d definitely like to fine-tune them then and upload it once the repository exists
