Thank you for the new menu and menuItem classes. I’ve been exploring the example project and found that menu.automaticallyInsertsWritingToolsItems is set to true by default (on my M2-Mac running macOS 15.2), but no Writing Tools menuItems appear. Explicitly setting it to true in any of the MyNSMenuPopupEvents has no effect, either. Am I misunderstanding the purpose of this property?

Sorry, not sure why it doesn’t work. I may have to look into this again.

It appears that something in the last pr release or so has broken WebView2MBS for me. I use it on Windows in lieu of the native HTMLViewer (basically because I don’t want my app to be the size of Firefox for some simple HTML needs.) I just now hit this and am investigating. No crashes or exceptions, just…nothing.

I have seen the same and already informed Christian.
I replaced the utils class by an older version, then it still works. There must be some interference between both.

Thanks. In the meantime, I reverted to pr5 (as far as I could, short of 24.5) and still saw it. But I’m sure it worked somewhere in the early pr series.

I notice that the Saxon classes are not included, price wise, in the base plugin set.
Is that because you are using the commercial version of the Saxon XSLT stuff or is there some other licensing thing going on?

29

Sorry for the trouble.
I tried a few samples and it failed here finally. So I should be able to fix this for next pre-release.

Thank you, Christian. As to workarounds, I wasn’t sure which plugin Ulrich meant. What I did was to revert to 24.5, but just add the new CURL plugin (my heavy lifter) from pr8. But I’m not shipping anything with beta plugins anyway. :slight_smile:

…and I found, not surprisingly, that you generate a warning to the user when a developer so mixes the libraries (in the build if not a debug run, anyway :slight_smile: ) And an AppWrapped Mac version won’t even launch. But for internal use this will skate. :slight_smile:

25.0pr9:

  • Fixed an issue with WebView2ControlMBS control not initializing sometimes.
  • Fixed crash with DynaPDFImageMBS destructor.
  • Fixed an issue in MemoryBlock.AppendMBS copying wrong data if one of the MemoryBlock has no size set.
  • Added more methods to Saxon classes.

Saxon is a separate thing. Not yet finished, especially hammering out the licensing details.

Does the web viewer now work for you?

Splendidly, thank you. :slight_smile:

Sadly there was a bug in FileListMBS introduced while I fixed a memory leak, so if you use this class, you can find a fixed version of the Util plugin here:
