This Git stuff is quite exciting - you never know what is going to happen next!

In module DevBrowser there is the yoyo effect between uft8 - str - utf8 in the procedure ShowInterface

GetQualIdent(mod, ident, t);
Kernel.Utf8ToString(mod, modStr, res);
DevReferences.ResolveImportAlias(modStr, t);
Kernel.StringToUtf8(modStr, mod, res);

We should change the procedure ShowInterface back to its 1.7 original version
and after the command GetQualident delete the line CheckModName(mod, t);

How to insert the new functionality?

Just insert into the procedure GetQualident the new line ResolveImportAlias before the translation to utf8.

DevReferences.ResolveImportAlias(s.string, t);
Kernel.StringToUtf8(s.string, mod, res);

The advantage is that the forgotten change in procedure ShowCodeFile is also done via GetQualident.

Seems like a good idea?

Actually I didn't technically forget ShowCodeFile, I ignored it! I did a "Search in Sources" and it is not used, and I couldn't (in 30 seconds) find where it is called, so I gave up looking.
1 - Where is it used? I need to know to check any changes.
2 - Should we consider adding a Menu Command "Search in Rsrc"? Useful options would be to list all files in an installation, or to list / select all Controls in a given Form. "Search in Menus" could also be useful.

It's probably the simplest and cleanest to reconstruct the branch from zero.
It takes only a few seconds.
The branch on github now has a suspicious Merge commit.
Something has been done that is not straight-forward.

1. Throw away the branch in github. Click on '7 branches', click the trash icon on the branch to remove.
2. Create a new branch with the same name as the removed one.
3. Clone the newly created branch into a new local directory.
4. Copy over the changed files.
5. Make a single commit to the new local repository.
6. Push back the new local repository.

I have incorporated Helmut's suggestions, including testing the updated ShowCodeFile Command. This meant creating my own test harness, as I still can't find anywhere where it is currently used.

I have spent several times 'a few minutes' and can't find '7 branches'. I need a clue. Is this on my PC, or some web page somewhere?

After you delete this branch you need to update you local repository. However be sure that you backed up the project files for the Josef plan.

I find that this manipulations with cleaning branches very hard. Better someone help you... me or Josef.

I think I have now managed to follow Josef's suggestions. Anyway, the new diff is http://redmine.blackboxframework.org/pr ... 65730f0320
Hopefully nothing got lost on the way.

So, again, ready for test / comment.

Thanks Ivan. I know it is easier for you guys to do this than teach me, but I hope the effort of learning for myself will pay off in the long run. I eventually found that page above:
Browser -> Favorites -> BlackBox Framework Centre -> Issues tracker -> Overview -> https://github.com/BlackBoxCenter/blackbox
There is probably a more direct way?

Robert wrote:There is probably a more direct way?

Here it is

I must have tried 50 links on that page, with names that mean nothing to me like "Gist".

In retrospect I guess it is obvious I should have tried the big blue "blackbox" near the bottom of the page.

Anyway, what do people think about the actual issue here? I have posted a link to the diffs, but there does not seem to be a new "unstable" .zip. The last one is dated 7 November, but the code was updated 10 November. Have I made another process error?

Robert wrote: Have I made another process error?

I studied whats happened... build process sticked. I do not know why.

I just killed the process and it starts again without errors. That's the last build for #140.
