Faq update

The FAQ was hilariously out of date, so I've fixed that. Not that anyone much actually asks questions these days.

Scribe updates

Couple of Scribe related things. Firstly the windows build is a bit broken, in that libpng isn't working out of the box. The fix is to copy the zlib.dll to zlibd1.dll in the folder Scribe is installed to. I will make sure that the build system works better before the next release. Secondly you may have trouble with opening HTML with the Linux build of Scribe because the default browser (say…

Scribe Stable

I've made the v3.x release of Scribe "stable". Somewhat because it is reasonably stable? And also because I'm not going back and fixing stuff in the 3 year old v2.4.x releases so people using that and then reporting bugs is not helpful. People SHOULD be using the v3.x releases and reporting against that.

Website now more mobile friendly.

I've rewritten the website to be more mobile friendly. Now I probably missed a bunch of pages. And certainly if you find something that doesn't render half decently on mobile then let me know.

VNC + Ubuntu 22.04

My local Linux server is Intel Nuc running Ubuntu. A few months ago I upgraded from 18.04 to 22.04, seemed like a reasonable thing to do. In the process I lost the ability to vnc into the server and use the desktop graphically. Originally I was using this command to run the vnc server: tigervncserver -geometry 2400x1350 -depth 24 -localhost no :1 Worked wonderfully on 18.04. Not so much on 22.04,…

Scribe 3.2

So I've released Scribe v3.2, not so much because I finished testing all the things, but because I need some usability feedback. And it's been too long since a release. Somewhat disappointingly the size of the Linux build seems to have grown alarmingly without any good reason: Yeah that's not a typo. And I have looked into it, all the basics like "is the binary built with -Os?" and "is the binary…

Website CSS / Scribe

I've removed the fixed point sizes in this sites CSS so that the font size is free to adapt to the user's settings and screen DPI. Hopefully that'll improve the readability somewhat. I'm slowly working my way through a large backlog of Scribe UI testing. So that when I release v3.2 I'm reasonably sure that things aren't horribly broken. Because at this point, I'm finding that lots of things aren't…

Scribe native export

There has been a long running branch of Lgi and Scribe to remove the old synchronous way of doing dialogs as part of the work to re-enable Haiku support. And I decided the cost of keeping the branches separate was too high and merged all those changes into the main dev branch of those projects a few weeks back. This means that a bunch of old functionality that I haven't touched in a long time is…

i.Disk on Haiku

Phabricator fork and the Scribe code base.

No one cares, but the announcement on 1st April wasn't a joke. Scribe is actually going open source. It's just taken way longer than I expected to create a new mercurial repository and have the hosting work correctly. Part of the issue is that my Phabricator install was misbehaving and it took a while to fix. I've had to create a fork of Phabricator and fix the passing of arguments to hg's…
