      It’s sensible to keep the core code the same, it just makes more work to go wrong. The test should be testing the core functionality.

        I think, there have been changes in the procdure names of CBitcoinSecret, and you need to make these changes consistent in base58*.* and base58_tests*.*

        By the way, can we split this thread in at least two ones?

        • Gui development
        • Test development/bug fixing

        I have problems to follow the flow on the discussion in this long thread here, as Gui and test posts are mixed and the thread becomes very long

          @Wellenreiter You are right, we did keep them here for consistency, but this thread should be for raising new issues. I was just about to post the new design on a discussion thread.

          I’ve extracted as much design work for the 0.9.3.2 beta test version from AFB as I can now anyway. Plus, we still have a few minor points to polish.

          The main icons for the “Material Design set” are ready, which means I can continue working on getting screen shots for the Wallet Guide again.

            I was thinking the same. In fact @wrapper and I discussed this last week or so.

            I’ll make a new thread later on, I’ll reference this thread with some links and then carry on the log there.

              AFB and I are doing some re-sync blockchain from scratch tests on the new sync animation.

              Anyway, for no good reason, i.e. software changes?, the syncing seems to have degenerated again.

              Although in this case I removed a couple of blocks, so the blockchain re-indexed, then it stalled at 2 years, rescanning after the re-index. (so there could be a slightly different code path)

              It got stuck at 325675

                Just a note :
                Status of Plugins:

                Status of Bitmessage testing/guide production :

                Not working under 16.04 - Still trying to get this going with a normal Bitmessage Linux install (i.e. Not installed but run from it’s own directory)

                • How does Bitmessage work under MS Windows? screen shot
                • Where do the files go , where is Bitmessage downloaded from?.
                • What is being passed to Bitmessage, what supposed to happen when bitmessage opens from the send menu right click

                Wellenreiter has suggested adding a script file to /bin
                if you create a shell script called pybitmessage under /usr/bin, make it executable, all should work

                 whereis pybitmessage
                 pybitmessage: /usr/bin/pybitmessage /usr/share/pybitmessage /usr/share/man/man1/pybitmessage.1.gz
                 more /usr/bin/pybitmessage
                
                 #!/bin/sh
                  cd /usr/share/pybitmessage
                  exec /usr/bin/python2 bitmessagemain.py
                

                I don’t have those files :

                This should have worked but doesn’t, I’m still checking what or if I did wrong /other ideas ie may work if copy over depends and include our own script file in Feathercoin root.

                but mainly need to finish the guide.

                whereis pybitmessage
                pybitmessage: /bin/pybitmessage
                
                #!/bin/sh
                cd   /home/USER/programs/PyBitmessage/src
                exec python /home/USER/programs/PyBitmessage/src/bitmessagemain.py  bitmessagemain.py
                

                If we change the script can we send the message to Telegram (or such) instead?

                The long term aim would be to make the plugins, at least, to have options check boxes to include on the menu.
                A generic system where you can include additional plugins to run a script

                  @Lizhi @Wellenreiter

                  The block number rings a bell. I think the last patch implemented into 0.9.3.x is mising in your version. It that possible?

                    Hopefully it’s something like that. I thought I’d pulled any changes, I’ll let you know.

                    Explicitly use boost overloaded functions in base58 vector ?

                      regarding bitmessage:

                      exec python /home/USER/programs/PyBitmessage/src/bitmessagemain.py  bitmessagemain.py
                      

                      should be

                      cd   /home/USER/programs/PyBitmessage/src
                      exec python bitmessagemain.py
                      

                      assuming that bitmessagemain.py and the other .py files are in the directory /home/USER/programs/PyBitmessage/src

                        @Wellenreiter I’ve done a git pull, It looks like I was up to date.

                        I will test a resync from the failed test with a rebuild

                        then if it still fails :
                        try a rebuild from scratch and see if it fails at the same place.

                            A medium term fix would be to detect the BitMessage status and set the script or .bat file as part of the install.

                            The long term aim would be to make the plugins, at least, to have options check boxes to include on the menu.

                              assuming that bitmessagemain.py and the other .py files are in the directory /home/USER/programs/PyBitmessage/src

                              That isn’t working on drop down test to pass anything through to Bitmessage, I think we need to create a pass through variable? probably text.

                                I tried this in the script :

                                exec python bitmessagemain.py $1

                                Transaction Grid Right Click - that didn’t work for me. the right click doesn’t open BitMessage either.

                                    @Lizhi : All the new Icons and dev changes are on on http://github.com/wrapperband/Feathercoin.git

                                    AFB is having a look at the splash screen, we have just found how to make the animation movie, by using the make_spinner.py python script in Feathercoin/share/qt to make the png spinner files .

                                    We are looking at what the windows script make_windows_icon.sh in the same directory, to see if that needs regenerating before the final beta test version.

                                    When Wellenreiter is ready we will pull them into FTC version.

                                          AFB has been a forum member since 2013.
                                          Were trying to optomise any time we have with development, so I’ve done all the posting and Githubs for AFB so far. I’ve asked him to do a post, but we’ve had quite a lot to learn and do which would be, “quite daunting to anyone with any sense!”

                                            Test : Exporting and Importing a URI
                                            Status : Failed

                                            Can someone double check I am not doing something wrong. Se-up VirtualManager start FTC -> copy URI of recieve address, import that into FTC. Nothing happens.

                                            I could not paste a URI or open a text imported from a URI file.

                                            There was no way to save the URI file on the QRCode / Address creation pop up (only copy to clipboard).
