On the cusp of another release version after fixing an annoying throw-exception that I didn't see but have this nagging sensation that there's a few "feature" I've not put in that I wanted to add before the next release :sigh: Got to learn to write this stuff down!

Best way to find bugs you didn't resolve in the latest build is to be sure to make a big release song-and-dance 5 minutes after you've gone to bed for the night the support will light up with tomorrow's trauma.

@brown190393 @IanSJohnston @chriva404 afaik it's just a 2560x2880 display, though you can feed it with two sources *I believe* and it'll split automagically. Probably permits all manner of mixes

@pe1chl @IanSJohnston I was originally choosing between the separates ( 27" that I have now ) and the single dual-2K curved that you're talking about. Would be interesting to hear how people found them to be in real life

@IanSJohnston @chriva404 Good thing that the trend is mostly wide-aspect these days. I get a moderate amount of strain from the repair bench work because of the microscope. I would like to try the 2560x2880 double in the middle with two 2560x1440's either side.

@chriva404 @IanSJohnston Are you referring to a 2-high stack situation where you're having to use up/down neck movements as opposed to left/right with the 3 wide?

@NizzyABI Depends on what you're focusing on as featureset, I found Forgeo to be an excellent locally hosted option that gives you a lot of the github feel.

@IanSJohnston Maybe I can use this as my central monitor and put my two DELL 27 Ultrasharps either side

@chriva404 More like 3 days. This morning it was 1 thin + 1 thick line and then it transitioned to this scrambled egg of a display. Glad I did the warranty request when I did.

@pe1chl I have 4 x HD screens from 20~22" sizes but will just "tough it out" until Mon/Tue for the replacement DELL to arrive (27" Ultrasharp 2560x1440). No real dumpsters here, rural zone, best you might see is the occasional poor quality low-nits HD screen.

Many thanks to the creators and maintainers of NativeFileDialog-Extended ( ). Was a lot simpler to integrate than I anticipated and worked well with ImGui on linux, macOS and Windows. Worth using with ImGui @ocornut as a file picker option for some.

@NezunS86055 @Pirat_Nation It's a common ailiment among such projects; lose their focus, start investing far too much in to obscure bling side projects and let the core rot with bugs and failure to keep up with (new) standards. GNOME3 was/is horrible like that too.

@Pirat_Nation Used from the 90's Phoenix until 5~6 years ago when it persistently seemed to bog itself down in a tar pit or failed to respond properly to enough web pages to become an issue. Mozilla seems to have killed it. Now only using Thunderbird & wish SylpheedClaws supported HTML gen

@WerWolv @ocornut @AlwaysGameDev You have a whole lot more discipline & patience than most. Mostly I feel like I'm being chased by a pack of rabid dogs and I finally manage to throw a pack of sausages at them to calm them down for a few hours. Even your code is calming to read.

@ocornut @WerWolv @AlwaysGameDev Always the way it progresses; every time I revamp/improve one section of FlexBV I look at other areas and think "Time for your cleanup/revamp/injection-of-new-bugs". Often new features coming out of ImGui will help me decide where to go next.

@ocornut @WerWolv @AlwaysGameDev Completely understand about focusing on the font stuff first. Downside of creating new features, it induces everyone to ask for even *more* features "Oh that's great, you know what would be really nice, if you added xyz!" 💔

@WerWolv @ocornut @AlwaysGameDev Right there with you @WerWolv . ... and without raising the ire of Omar, how are things looking for orthagonally rotated text ( even just 90' rotated would be just fine )

@tsoding Ugh, Ninja - I was so gloriously happy when I saw pdfium ... and then the pain started. Wonder if anyone will release a CMake/Makefile based build fork of pdfium ?
