- Windows release creation available at https://mapiah.org/downloads
Windows flags this as a trojan Bearfoos.B!ml and has locked it away. Should I be trying to bypass that?
I just sent MapiahSetup_0.2.3.exe to several online virus scanners: all marked the file as clean. Made to kinds of scan on my Windows virtual box (just used to these rare things that actually needs a Windows environment like creating a Windwos release of Mapiah) and no malware was found. Also found on the web some posts reporting Bearfoos.B!ml and others as false positives for unknwon .exe files: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/bearfoosaml-false-alar..., https://www.reddit.com/r/antivirus/comments/v4ac41/trojanwin32bearfoosbml/. Considering all that I would say that Mapiah has no malware.
I've tried again to access the web version at https://mapiah.org/webappjs/
So far most of the th2 files I try to open crash.
Can you send me an example of a crashing file?
Those I can open are missing their xvi background images – compare the Mapiah and XTherion snips below.
XVI images aren´t yet supported by Mapiah. Just included on the TODO list for version 0.3.0.
When, I think, a scrap is selected, there are a lot of options that seem to be irrelevant to scraps, and if I try to set them to a value, they do not ‘stick’.
This options overlay window should record default options for new elements created. I forgot to disable it as its not yet functional. It is already disabled for version 0.2.4 (not yet released). To edit scrap options, right click on: * the scrap select button on the right bottom corner in case there is only one scrap in the file, or* the scrap name in the scrap select dialog box presented when clicking on the scrap select button in case there are multiple scraps in the file.
Some of the files that will not open give errors like this…
'petitparser returned a "Failure"' at '_injectContents()' with 'Line being parsed: "point 16235.0 903.25 date -value "2024.06.08" -scale xs -align br"' local info
'petitparser returned a "Failure"' at '_injectContents()' with 'Line being parsed: "point 16333.25 1415.75 date -value "2024.05.26" -scale xs -align l"' local info
Is the error message sufficient for you to identify the problems like this, or should I attach the files themselves as issue(s) on https://github.com/rsevero/mapiah/issues ?
Please attach a problematic file on a issue.
Otherwise, the interface looks promising.
Thanks. Rodrigo
