= rwdfoldeditor - for rwdtinker and RubyWebDialogs

rwdfoldeditor is a little book editor  

The GUI interface used is RubyWebDialogs 

RubyWebDialogs is a platform independent graphical user interface for Ruby applications. It generates HTML and serves it with an internal HTTP server, so you can use your favorite web browser as the front end for your Ruby application. All this means, that it can be used on almost every platform, like Ruby itself. http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubywebdialogs/

== Quick Start
 Start the program by typing 
 ruby init.rb

 Then point your web browser to:
 http://localhost:7705/
 
To exit, press the x inside the browser window.

== Design - rwdfoldeditor

 This program is a book notes editor
 text notes can saved all over the computer
 
 Notes are tracked in a fold file

 One use is to bundle all the files in a software project in one view.
 
 
== Tabs
 
 There are tabs to enter notes and links and edit configurations
 
 View/Edit Note - to create a note or edit and existing note
 
 View/Edit Links - to edit links
 
 Note Utilities - to rename or delete notes
 
 Edit Configuration - to change the configuration of rwdhypernote
 
        
== Using over a Network
  
To serve the application over your local LAN,change the last line in the
init.rb file to something like:
RwdTinker.file(RWDFile).serve(8080, "-r" ? ".rwduids" : nil)
Then you should be able to login at: http://yourhostname:8080

You have to authorize yourself. The .rwuids example is a string with
the name of the authorization file, relative to the home directory
of the user that started the service. This file has to be in the form of:

user1 = password
user2 = pass phrase

Thus the file .rwduids might contain:

erik = secret

== Requirements:
RubyWebDialogs - I am using 0.0.12 
Ruby I am using version 1.8.2


I have tested this under Linux-Debian kernel 2.6.9

==Making Applets

What is required in a applet for the rwdtinker framework

1. config file
2. code files - under in a unique directory under code
3. gui files - begin with window name in unique directory(s) under gui/tinkerbackwindow
4. install file ending with .inf under install directory - code directories are listed in here for live startup
5. uninstall program file in code directory - to uninstall the global variables
6. the install file, config file and uninstall method have the same name 

Then zip it up and it should be ready to go.

== PROBLEMS:

Closing the browser doesn't terminate the application. You have to use the application's close-button  And terminating the application doesn't terminate the application when running in network mode. You just log out.

Don't use the back-button of the browser! Strange and unpredictable things may and will happen!
