7:58:44loke`I've spent plenty of time trying to understand how MacDon... I mean McCLIM implements this stuff.
7:59:12loke`It's not easy to follow, and I'm fearing that perhaps only plain text strings are allowed as ACCEPT functions.
7:59:19jackdanielI was looking into accepting-values lately, I believe it needs some work
7:59:45jackdanielalso most of our accept methods are specialized only on textual-view, what is a strong hint, that more sophisticated methods may be added for our own kinds of view
7:59:50loke`Every existing example I have seen so far punts the actual input interaction down to CLIM:ACCEPT with either STRING or one of the dervied types as arguments.
8:00:49jackdanielyes, because it's textual-view, it is meant to work on text serializable data (eventually things why may be selected with a pointer and serialized automatically)
8:01:56jackdanielfwiw Listener inherited it's view from textual-view, because too many accept methods would have to be reimplemented (even if it isn't textual view anymore in case of the Listener)
8:02:15jackdanielit's somewhere in the Listener code comments
8:12:39loke`jackdaniel: But is it supposed to work at all?
10:53:57beachYou may have to build the PDF version.
10:59:52jackdanielI've send an email to Gilbert this morning, no answer yet
11:04:59loke`jackdaniel: it would be nice if the clim spec was hosted on port 80 or 443. Our corporate firewall doesn't allow access to sites on other ports (I have no idea why)
11:06:15flip214loke`: for security reasons, obviously!
11:06:41flip214And if it's easily possible, how about integrating them to CLUS?
11:07:05flip214as a submodule or something, even if not fully integrated in the first step (not searchable or so)
11:08:22jackdanielI have asked Gilbert about that some time ago, he pefers to host it. Also, that version has annotations
11:08:53jackdanielwe have spec in Documentation/ which may be compiled etc in the repository, that is not a problem
11:09:11loke`ACCEPT methods seems to be overly complex and at the same time very limited.
