Trelby for Mac

[Muhammad Faruk]

Is there a version for Mac coming out?

[Anil Gulecha]

Hi Muhammad,

This is a popular feature enhancement. This will come out when a Mac
developer helps port to the platform.

So I was supposed to be writing a screenplay yesterday, but instead I
made Trelby run on the Mac. Oops.

It's by no means a nice, double-clickable .app file, but I did get it
to work smoothly (except for FDX files), so that's a start. I just
added an "isMac" condition where wx needed to be different for the Mac
or was buggy. But in the end, OS X basically isUnix, so most of the
code ran anyway. Want a screenshot?

I also isMac'ed the parts using lxml, since you can't run that without
the OS X developer tools installed. But .trelby files work perfectly.
I used the 2.0 code for Linux to start with, just to be safe. If
you're on a Mac, you also need to download wxPython and run Python as
32-bit. Here's the file with my changes:

Oh, and thanks for writing this awesome program! I can't wait to see
where it's going!

Awesome! How fast is it? Scrolling around etc, is it completely smooth like on windows/linux (if you've tried those versions), or is there some lag?

If possible, we would like to receive code contributions in form of patches to apply, as the developer wiki documents. It really is easy to provide them once you get used to git. It may be a small effort to start but it's going to be much easier for both you to do development work and pull in new updates, and for us to integrate your changes.

I tried it on Ubuntu and the scrolling seems to work just the same.
The only place I noticed a difference is the width of the document is
a bit smaller on the Mac (you can tell in the screenshot as well). But
it's not laggy for me at all.

Sure. The problem is, I don't really know how to use git, hence the
dropbox files. But I'll learn, since I'd really like to help
contribute.

Great. The "submitting changes" section in https://github.com/oskusalerma/trelby/wiki/Contributing/ should explain how to use a local branch to develop your changes and submit them, but I suppose it assumes some familiary with git already, otherwise it's pretty cryptic.

The net is full of git tutorials, here's one random one that should get you started: http://www.vogella.de/articles/Git/article.html

Awesome!

And the interface looks nice (I wondered how our custom controls would
translate to thh mac widgets layout).

I putup the screenshot on twitterverse.

The width depends on the font used.. the mac font is a tad bit thinner
than the Ubuntu counterpart.

Did you run all tests? Do they all work?

I also noted a bug:

The page layout border is a pixel lower.. look at the lower right
corner of the screenplay page in your screenshot.

.. a mac specific thing. These calculations produce the below on Linux:

Another modification would be to not draw the window left border..
since Mac's toolbar does it anyway. This is around line 1352 in
src/trelby.org

dc.SetPen(cfgGui.tabBorderPen)
dc.DrawLine(0,0,0,size.height)

I saw the tests... haven't run them yet, though. I can do that while
I'm figuring out git. And that makes sense with the font, the default
Mac one is pretty small.

I think I see what you mean with the page borders. Here's a better
screenshot of the page:

And I think it's just a Mac thing to draw in random borders. I've seen
them before on other programs.

I'm talking about the screenplay page which is drawn by Trelby. The
extra pixel is here:

Not too big a deal.

Okay, I found that one too, right below the helpful comment on +2. I
can add that to the list of changes.

Hi All,

I created a branch with the initial macosx patch that Max provided.

https://github.com/anilgulecha/trelby/tree/macosx

wxWidgets largely works on mac.. as can be seen by the changes
required to make it work:
https://github.com/anilgulecha/trelby/commit/9a243bc7c19d0a00fbdbe84a265846c4825600ec

Note: these changes are against 2.0.

I clicked on the link to your zip file, it didn't work. I have a mac and would love to try this program. Would you be so kind to share it again?

Thank you

[welcome.to...@gmail.com]

I downloaded the zip file for mac and ran `python setup.py install`. I got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 3, in <module>
    import py2exe
ImportError: No module named py2exe

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

[Anil Gulecha]

Trelby is not supprrted on the Mac.

I run a film school and want to use this program for my kids but they all use Mac. Can anyone tell me how to get this up and running for Mac. Or a time frame. Not a fan of Celtx but heard great things about trebly.

Last post on this was august - has there been any update for a mac version please? 

[Anil Gulecha]

No update.
