I've recently found some awkward problem on a sketch I'm exporting as an app.

If the folder containing the app has a space on the label, it won't work properly.

On the first screen of my app, it will draw my shapes, but it won't show the controllers (controlP5) and won't accept me to drop files on it (sDrop).

I also use gifAnimation library, but it will only be initiated later on the process.

I've tried exporting apps of sketches that won't use contributed libraries and they will run even when the folder has spaces on it.

I've tested it on a friend's computer, and the same happens.

Is there anything I can do?

Is there anyway I can debug the app without the Processing environment?

I use mac.

I'm not sure if the problem is with contributed libraries, but it's the best guess I can have.

This is why I've put this question under "Contributed Library Questions".

Thanks,

I've wrote a program that converts jpgs from an iPhone app named QuadCamera.

For those of you who are not familiar with QuadCamera, it takes a sequence of 8 or 4 images and either generate a jpg with a grid of all images or exports an animated gif via email or twitter.

I have hundreds of pictures taken with QuadCamera and exporting via email has become an overwhelming task. As I love the app and the pictures I've taken with it, I've decided to write a program that converts all these jpgs quick and easy at once.

In short, my program is tailor made for QuadCamera users.

I want to give that program for free as a showcase of my work. But I want to give it a name (or at least a description) that mentions QuadCamera. Let's say "Gif Converter for QuadCamera".

I know there's such a thing named "copyright" (or something like that) but I have no idea how it works.

Finally, my question is: can I name my program "<name> for QuadCamera"? if I can't use QuadCamera on the name, can I use it on the description?

Of course, I would have some sort of disclaimer saying "QuadCamera is (c) copyright of  Takayuki Fukatsu" and a link for his app. My intention is that people use more QuadCamera, not the other way around.

If someone has the answer or a link to the answer, I would appreciate that deeply.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the loooooong message.

I've been working on a sketch for some time now. It's a program that converts JPGs into animated GIFs.

And one of my biggest issues was "how to structure the program"?

The user has to go through different states/pages of the program. And I wanted to structure the classes in a way they would communicate with each other in harmony.

By researching, I came across two solutions:

// Listeners //

I asked a couple of friends who do some other programming languages and they told me to use "listeners".

Researching listeners on the forum, I've come to find this:  https://forum.processing.org/topic/custom-events-event-listener

From that, I understood that either I would learn  "Observer and Observable java" or I would use a library named "toxiclibs".

// Draw loop //

I also had a look at the forum and found that games could have a similar structure. And some people suggested to use a switch (condition) on the draw loop, using a variable to keep track of it.

Like here:  https://forum.processing.org/topic/how-would-you-guys-recommending-creating-a-game-with-different-screens-or-rooms

I also thought "maybe processing is not meant to do this". But I wanted to have an opinion from the community if possible. These are my first bigger steps into processing.

So, the question is: which way should I take?

I hope that it's a clear question.

Should I post the code? It's a bit long.

It just looks awful now, but it works. My next step is to polish it.

I'm facing a problem.

I'm using "hide" to hide my controlP5 buttons and  controllers.

But even if they become invisible, I can still click on them.

Has anyone seen the same problem?

On this link someone has mentioned that before:  http://processing.org/discourse/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1163646039/30

Just read reply#40

What can I do?

Thanks,

Processing and programming is all very new to me and this is my first question on the forum.

I've been trying to avoid asking question without researching first, but I can't find the answer for this one.

I'll try to be concise without being unclear.

I'm writing a program that uses sDrop,  by Andreas Schlegel.

Users drop files and folders onto the sketch. This generates a list that is displayed on the screen.

If the list is bigger than the sketch window, I generate a scrollbar. Users can continuously drop files and folders.

My issue is when the user drops a large amount of files (say 300) at the same time (note that it's not a folder with many files).

For every file, "dropEvent" will register one event and will refresh the list on screen.

For 300 files, this could be a bit heavy, couldn't it?

Is there a way I could refresh the list on the screen only when the group of files I dropped have been loaded?

I hope it was clear enough.

Thanks,

Ennio
