Well, it won’t keep track of which files were built previously, so that’s (technically) working as expected.  ;D A note would be the only thing I can do about it without adding a whole version control system, I guess. But I won’t be on Windows before tomorrow, so one day more until the next release…

Ugh.  ;D
No, it actually created both files, but ...

Code: Text [Select]
  1. if buildSuccess and not chkKeepPostscriptFile.Checked then;     // <<< the ";" ends the command...
  2.     DeleteFile(outputFileName); // get rid of the .ps file

But yay, we're getting there!

Good idea, actually. I will add that option. :)
edit: In order to not clutter the GUI any further, I'll add it to the settings screen.

Makes sense. (As I said, this is a debug build. The final version will get rid of the intermediate .ps file and/or won’t try to build a .pdf file, probably to be released tomorrow.)

Thank you and sorry for being slow today - you helped me a lot!

The message is wrong, indeed. Of course, it’s .bat, not .exe.

What I just tested was:
  • Install Ghostscript from scoop (which tries to add ps2pdf to the PATH, it seems),
  • then run ps2pdf (no extension…  ;D) from inside groffstudio.

Worked for me…

So the message should probably rather be: “ps2pdf could not be found, please install Ghostscript and make sure that the folder that contains the ps2pdf command is in your PATH” AFAICS?

(I’m actually at work, sorry for being somewhat distracted here.)

How's this?
edit: Yes, it always tries to make a PDF file. This is only for testing. :)

Probably. The goal of groffstudio is to have one button right on the editor though.  ;D
Anyway: I found a Windows machine and I'll see what I can do... :) thanks for the report.

That’s unfortunate. I mean, my implementation of running the groff tools is not exactly fail-safe yet.

But as you already have Ghostscript, I see a potential positive outcome for me…  ;D

That sounds like a problem indeed. Do you have a ps2pdf.exe somewhere in your path? I might have to change the build process for Windows...
... turns out native pdfroff just isn't.  :(

(n.b.: 0.13.2 is released, but that won't fix the problem at hand.)

0.13.1 is there. Replaced the new loading window by a threaded process.

Changelog for the upcoming 0.13.0 release, to be uploaded some time between "in four hours" and "in twelve hours":

[Feature] Support for hdtbl.
[Changed] Build extras and build preprocessors are now listed in a multi-select box.
[Improved] If no error has occurred, the log file will contain a success message.
[Improved] The default font looked gross on macOS. This should be better now.
[Bugfix] Calling troff over the system default shell now, potentially finding more paths.
[Improved] BuildDocument uses a simpler execution approach now.
[Feature] macOS Cmd+X/C/V are supported now.
[Feature] Added a loading window so you won't think groffstudio would procrastinate.

I can't reproduce the paste problem. Copying any text to groffstudio works for me on Windows 10.  :huh:

Also, the window not appearing onscreen has been resolved!

I did not address that.  :-[

Don't do that.  :D

No, seriously, I'll investigate. Built with "nightly" FPC/Lazarus, so there is a huge variety of possible issues hidden within.
When it's fixed, I'll post here. :) (If my day job lets me check that tomorrow.)

Thank you for testing, this is really bleeding edge code. I appreciate that.

The "build problem" message was a missing check. Please ignore it. (Fixed in 0.13, to be released when your file works.)  :P

Creating a PDF file has another potential (Windows-only) problem which I'll hunt next. But let's first see if I can do something about your "-me is ignored" problem.
How does this version work for you?

(Yes, there are UI changes. Not sure whether they're final.)

Ah, now I have an idea what might be wrong. It's not your file!
I'll take a look at it soon and report back. (Not on Windows right now, but fixed a few unrelated issues while I was at it. Not yours yet.)

One idea is that TProcess doesn't catch your PATH (which would be weird).
Just curious: copy groffstudio to C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey\Bin and see if it works from there. If it does, I might have to reset a thing or two.

Does any error occur or does nothing happen at all?  :huh:

groffstudio does not really care about where your macros are. In theory, all it does is call cmd /c groff -<options>, at least on Windows.
Where did you install groff?

In the third of sunwait we light
The candle of Thurisaz so bright
When the force of winter upon us lies
May the return of spring in it rise

23 days and three more candles until the celebration left.

FWIW, iOS 17 has a similar feature built-in. Next time I’ll just wait until someone else does the work for me…
