Terry - AKA Dumbledore Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Any update? it seems that 4.0.5 won't be fixing this issue, what a shame 4.0.5 is a major change for the theme system as it deals with file storage locations and display paths. That being said it will improve many issues in the system, but as in all major changes there may be some bugs to iron out. Which is the reason that IPS is focusing on bug fixes in 4.0.6 and above.
Management Charles Posted May 13, 2015 Management Posted May 13, 2015 Version 4.0.6 will have some new theme tools.
ugurkn Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Version 4.0.6 will have some new theme tools.When we can expect an offical announcement ?

Terry - AKA Dumbledore Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 When we can expect an offical announcement ?I think they will try towards the end of the month, in my opinion, to allow support to respond to 4.0.5 request from user.
Management Charles Posted May 13, 2015 Management Posted May 13, 2015 When we can expect an offical announcement ? An offiicial announcement of what? I just said 4.0.6 will have new theme tools
TSP Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 An offiicial announcement of what? I just said 4.0.6 will have new theme tools I guess to maybe go into more details on what the tools exactly will do and how they work.
Terry - AKA Dumbledore Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 When we can expect an offical announcement ?I think this may work better. @Charles at your first chance can you please provide insight on the pending additions?
Management Charles Posted May 13, 2015 Management Posted May 13, 2015 I think this may work better. @Charles at your first chance can you please provide insight on the pending additions?The preview topic for 4.0.6 will be updated once the changes are implemented.

Nathan Explosion Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 I believe Charles may have just dropped the mic
ehren. Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 Perfect, that's all we needed! A few theme bugs left to fix, and we'll all be happy designers!
Management Charles Posted May 15, 2015 Management Posted May 15, 2015 You know... you guys could have done this yourselves all along We provide dev tools for this. You could have just run a diff in your own editors. But we are happy to write a fancy system for you so you can just click.

But we are happy to write a fancy system for you so you can just click. On the contrary, a staff member could have just replied weeks ago and told us this was possible. The lack of documentation or replies has left many designers like myself in the dark. This feature was in 3.x and was vital after every upgrade, so it makes complete sense to include it by default in 4.x - honestly, I'm surprised it was neglected for such an extended period. Not all designers use DM (I've been avoiding it due to the bugs which plague it), so accessing those files and doing it ourselves - assuming our editors support change logs, which mine doesn't - isn't efficient, nor ideal. With that said, I'm grateful for the solution which has been provided, and I'm sure my customers will be too.

I use Kaleidoscope for Mac which is one of the most popular tools available and even that compares one file at a time (AFAIK).

They work with diff tools all day long so they must assume everyone can No matter though - we have a nice tool now. It's hooked up with our version control system so it's automated. When we make a release it will instantly show up there.
Flitterkill Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 It's not so much that we can't but more about efficiency. We had these tools in the 3 series and now with a completely new framework we don't (or didn't ). Having diff reports at our fingertips makes our work much faster - one less thing for us to do, or trudge through. Doubly so with all the changes and revisions happening early and often with these initial releases.

Management Matt Posted May 15, 2015 Management Posted May 15, 2015 @ehren. I'm working through your bug list. The tabs not working is actually a bit of confusion. Tab keys are only a-z0-9 and then made lowercase. So you're actually using "word_Word" in the language pack, but the actual tab key ends up as "wordword" hence it doesn't seem to match.I've just allowed underscores though, but they have to be lowercase to ensure there are no duplicate but "different" keys.
Management Matt Posted May 15, 2015 Management Posted May 15, 2015 Thanks to Charles and staff. Another bug insert media If you are seeing this on your suite too, delete the file: /applications/core/extensions/core/EditorMedia/Attachments.phpYou'll notice there's "Attachments.php" and "Attachment.php". Attachments.php can be removed.

Mark Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Do you know of any software that can generate a report as comprehensive as that? I use Kaleidoscope for Mac which is one of the most popular tools available and even that compares one file at a time (AFAIK). I use FileMerge which comes with Xcode (right click Xcode > Show Package Contents > Contents > Applications). I've never used Kaleidoscope but considering how much everyone raves about it (and it's a paid-for app, FileMerge is free from Apple) I'm very surprised to hear it can't do folders. But yeah, as Charles says, to us the thought was "well surely they just throw the developer files in a diff tool?" - in 3.x you couldn't do that because it was all in heredocs in a PHP class, but with 4.0 it isn't, so we assumed a dedicated diff tool wasn't necessary. But oh well, we have one now
