fxDreema was updated... obviously

__On free version when I try to download an .mq4 file it gives me this message: Method Unavailable: createObjectURL
Also when I tried to download the .ex4 file gave me some error messages on red panel like compile timeframe, but I had marked the timeframe, so this must be a problem to fix to :)[/quote:2o678y2z]
This appears on browsers that does not support this method. I know for sure that Safari has these issues. Otherwise on my Chrome, Firefox, Opera and even IE 11 it works.
You may think - this worked before, why not working now? Because now I am using JavaScript and it's Blob functions to build the output file and cause the "Save as" popup to appear. It is easier for me to make it that way and modern browsers should support that.But I don't know why someone will do "Save As" every time, so I can recommend Chrome with the plugin that I wrote for it to automatically save and overwrite the output files. This plugin is also safe, because it uses only Chrome API's, it asks for permissions to write and it's code can be seen from everyone.

__Ok I'm having some serious problems now. When I try to move or expand the "Area" boxes, they move erratically, then they either jump completely off screen, taking all my blocks with them, or the entire project disappears! The worst part is, it seems to auto save after this with your EA in a completely scrambled condition and half your blocks stretched way out off the screen where you can't even get to them, or all on top of each other in one big pile. I'm having this problem in both firefox and chrome.
What are the chances you can just bring the old Dreema back (it was perfect) and build the new one on the side or something until its ready. Maybe give it to a few beta testers or something to help you work out the bugs. I'm all for updates and everything, but it seems you've done more than just change the colors and add a few features, and in it's current condition, this new version is difficult/impossible to use and unpredictable. I spend way too much time working with this product to deal with all this - I'll lose my sanity. And I'm concerned that if I use the local version too much while the web version is being fixed, I'll have a bunch of complex EA's that I spent a great deal of time on that won't be compatible to be edited with the new web version when it's running smoothly again, and eventually the local version won't work either since it's no longer being supported? I vote for the old Dreema![/quote:9994cfe1]
I decided that this update will be smooth, but every hour something goes wrong
I just experienced this problem with one area, I think that this problem is something small that I missed somewhere yesterday when I worked on the scrollbar. I will fix it in hours.Local versions are whole bodies and they will not broke inside because of the web version. They only use the server for the initial login. Even if I continue updating the web version and not making new local builds, they will still work.
I was working for this update from the beginning of 2014 at least. Everything is now reweritten, I even created my own PHP framework and my own jQuery alternative that is faster. For all that time I did very little updates on fxDreema, mostly because it's code was reached the point where it was hard to maintain. And because of that I felt bad for months. So one day I decided to upload the update. Yes, there are few bugs here and there, but when I clear them all, the system will be much better from before. It works faster, it was written in a better way and it's more predictable for me. Most of the problems that appeared was because I wrote "true" instead of "false" somewhere in the code (I mean, simple things) or because of features that I forgot to update. I still have the whole backup before the update and it contains all projects at that time. Also, a new backup is created every night, so everything can be restored. Even the most recent actions can be restored, because in History there is a list of independent versions of the project.
-
Ok well I still think beta testing with a few people might have been a better roll out till we knew all the bugs were gone, but I trust we'll have a better product when it's all said and done. I'll bear with it in the meantime, and I do appreciate all the hard work you're putting into keeping up with all the fixes.

I used Opera when I had the problems I mentioned, are you sure you checked all of your browsers?
-
Well, I don't have all the browsers on the world with all their versions, but the good thing these days is that modern browsers auto-update themselves. My Opera version is 31.0.1889.99 and it's telling me that it's up to date. Yes, exporting files work on my Opera.

Hi,
as I understand you right, there is no safe button any more because every change will be stored/safed immediately in history, right?
How long is history? I is strange to me I have to get accustomed to that. -
I think I set it to 25 history points.
I wanted to leave the Save button and extend it actually. Let's say, to be able to save the current project and also to be able to save it to another version of the project. Then you have a list of versions, let's say 10 versions. Something like having 10 different projects into 1. But if you can load each one of them and modify and save it again, eventually you will end up with totally different strategies under the same cover. So I decided to not make it work that way.
I removed that button temporarily, until I find how to use it properly. I still think that it adds beauty to the builder, at least
The question is, how to use it properly? And I want to have versions of the project, but these versions should be ordered by time somehow. Like, the first version is from 1 january, the second version is from 3 March, the last version is from yesterday. But what happens if you want to edit the first version?Here is how versioning happens in GitHub (website for programmers)
http://jlord.us/git-it/challenges/branc ... birds.html
http://jlord.us/git-it/assets/imgs/branches.pngBut maybe this is too complex for the users of fxDreema. What this is, you have a single Master version and you can start a new Branch from it and work on it until you decide to merge that branch into the Master again.
At the end I decided that if someone wants to keep something for later, he can also do it with the source code file that he exports, having the project and it's code in this way. But this is probably too simple and limited.
So the next thing I decided is that I can make it possible to mark multiple projects to not be deleted (these checkboxes) => no Save button is needed for this and you can always start working from one of these points. Isn't this the best way?

I checked, it is updated with the last version.
Maybe I should wait for a new update. -
And what is your version?
I have old Opera on my old laptop and it doesn't work there, but this version is from 2012, the latest version that used their engine Presto. Then they moved to WebKit, which is the same thing that Chrome uses. When I check for updates it says that it is updated, but Presto 2.12.388 is from 2 november 2012 and it's discontinued.

What is going on with Variable?
Time was... You could create a Formula and modify it with another "formula result". Now it seems it must be declared as a variable. That is all fine and well.
Example: I create a variable ATRB (Average True Range Buy) = 0. When I create a formula (ATR(3) X 1.5) and put the result in ATRB. On UPDATE I get error: You must select a Variable.
Variable was created in advance of creating the formula?
What am I missing here? Thanks in advance,
Thomas -
Yes, but now all ResultX variables must automatically go into Variables. So, this does not happen for this project?
-
I tried now to generate a project using the Local version, as it still works on the old and stable system: http://prntscr.com/85z2fu
Then I exported the project and imported it into the new web version and this is the result: http://prntscr.com/85z2y8
And this is how it should be.Why I decided that Formula blocks must use Variables? Because I can see that people are using too much ResultX variables and they mean nothing. Most of you don't even try to give those results good names. These results are also global variables (with double datatype), but making soup out of them is not a good practice.
Normally in the code we start with a variable and then we modify it in multiple calculations. Those Formula blocks are too simple and they represent very simple calculation. But using different variables for each small calculation is not good. At the moment you are doing this is ok, but then when you comback and see this stuff, you realize that you can't connect all those ResultX values anymore.
Formula blocks really need some update, but not something that is using tens of varables with awful names.
-
I declare Variable: ATRB = 0
Then I use the formula as shown in the attached file.
What is the proper way to modify a variable with a formula?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas......

This is it >> Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.15
of-course you mentioned that it is not working with this version. I suppose I must download a new version of the browser, any recommendation from where could help.

I think that this version is too old to detect if there is a new one. But I don't want to try too much to update mine, because I want to have something that is old somewhere. You can try to install it from http://www.opera.com/, I guess it will work.
If for some reason you want to use the old Opera, which is fine, then I can suggest to use Chrome, because I also have an extension for it to easily download/overwrite files: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... mkdhjdgdkp

O.k. thanks, nice extension!

it seems, "import project" is not working. The former version did it very quickly.
Please, could you remove the autoscroll "thing" when trying to move an opened block-window. This is terrible especially with an Notebook. The behaviour in that case before the update was better.
-
Interesting, I fixed some problem with importing like 2 days ago, now what can be wrong again. Send me some project that fails?
I noticed that if the properties window is higher than the available window, then when I try to move it, it jumps somewhere. Is this what you are talking about?
-
It seems importing projects is not working at all. Try to import this one: https://fxdreema.com/shared/fGHOGlxpb
When I drag an opened block properties window to the upper workbench border it starts to scroll up very fast. The same happens to the downside when the lower properties window is close to the lower workbench border. Please remove that behaviour.
-
When I export this, I can reimport it without problems. Can you send me .mq4 file, so I can look what's in it? I am probably missing something small, but there is no problem for me at all and I don't know what is it.
Today I was working on some javascript functions, but tomorrow I will fix this scroll problem
