Re: Logo
for the About dialog the attached text was 'BlackBox Component Builder',
with the new logo it is 'BlackBox Framework Center'.
Since the About dialog is about the BlackBox Component Builder
and not about the BlackBox Framework Center,
the attached text should not be changed.

Yes, you are right. I have made bmp and pasted it to the About.odc.Josef Templ wrote:for the About dialog the attached text was 'BlackBox Component Builder',

Re: Logo
Ivan,
"Build by ...."
Should either be
"Built by ..."
or
"This build by ..."
or
something like
"The current build made by ..."

Re: Logo
Built by...
is shorter and fits better to 'on {buildDate}', that follows.
It is also very close to what we have already agreed on.
Thus, the new formulation would be:
'Built by BlackBox Framework Center on {buildDate}'
I have put this version to the topic branch issue-#15.
Everybody can have a look at a BlackBox release with this About dialog by
simply downloading the latest automatically built release from
http://blackboxframework.org/unstable/issue-%2315/.
I would recommend to use the zipped version, because you probably
don't want to risk overwriting anything related with your current
BlackBox (1.6) installation by using the installer.

Technically it would be simple to do.bernhard wrote: IMHO the about dialogue should include the build number also.
Some programs put the build number into the About dialog, some don't.
I am not sure if there is any rational behind it.
The implicit message when adding a build number to the About dialog is that we are using
a well-designed continuous integration process, i.e. a build engine that
maintains a build number etc.
So it might look more 'professional'.
It may also have some practical value because comparing the build number
of two different releases is simpler than comparing build dates
and there may in fact be multiple builds within one day.
But this latter argument applies only for unstable releases.
Some programs also put a revision number into the About dialog.
This provides a link to the repository revision that was used for building.
This would also be simple to add, but the Git commit hash is a large number.
(Many tools shorten it therefore to the first 10 characters or so.)
To me it seems that it is not required to add the commit hash to the About dialog.
For the exceptional case that somebody wants to see it, it is available as
System property (see System/Rsrc/Strings.odc) anyway.

Re: Logo
I have added the build number to the About dialog.
Please have a look at http://blackboxframework.org/unstable/i ... a1.007.zip
for the latest build that includes the build number.
Please have also a look at the commit message https://github.com/BlackBoxCenter/black ... 2880dfb01b.
It includes a reference to the related voting as well as a 'Signed-off-by' by clause.
Is this format OK for everybody?
@Ivan: there is a memory problem on our Edis Host.
The redmine mirror repository cannot be opened.
The error message is:
An error occurred when trying to access the repository: Cannot allocate memory - 'git' '--git-dir' '/var/www/git/blackbox.git' '-c' 'core.quotepath=false' '-c' 'log.decorate=no' 'ls-tree' '-l' 'HEAD:'
