Proposal In the IDE is a new fixed inbuilt Tool “Upload and share in Processing Forum”. It : executes ctrl-t on all tabs, zips all files and uploads to a server (like weshare) that the Foundation provides and returns a link to the zip that automatically is posted in a new post in the forum that…

Just allowing the upload of a zip for sharing would be a welcome addition to the forum; not everybody knows how to use git and github/gitlab/… The way you propose using an external server is not needed if we were allowed to upload zip files. I think it’s considered a security risk for those that do…

Nice idea but for large sketches we should still encourage users to provide short code snippets demonstrating what they want to know. Creating the code snippets might highlight the problem for the user and simplify the responder’s task. With luck they might even find their own solution :wink: The …

As so often seen on many posts … [image] quark: and found the code to be a rats nest I would simply move onto something else :joy: @Chrisir : the Intention is good but I need to agree with @quark . Additionally, there is a chance that someone who tries to extract the potential problem to pos…

[image] quark: we should still encourage users to provide short code snippets A beginner usually doesn’t know what a mcve is. Most beginner snippets aren’t big. And even if, they could state tab and function that is relevant. I think my proposal is still valid.

[image] Chrisir: A beginner usually doesn’t know what a mcve is. I never mentioned mcve :wink: Personally I would simply ask the poster to trim the sketch to a minimum that still shows the problem / issue. Generally the quality of the question gives me an insight into the posters knowledge …

Hi, sorry i didn’t understand your reply - cf. Help with coding game (catch falling food) . are you saying to post the zipped file of the falling food game?

this post was not directed at you but at the members of this (other) discussion here

Hello folks, Any topic on sharing code should also include the importance of respecting the original work and author of that work. Related: [image] Help with coding game (catch falling food) Coding Questions Hello @anamw88 , Please provide some context to this. It is …

Hi @chrisir and thanks for the suggestion. I’ve been exploring similar ideas for a while and I have some thoughts. First, I’ll bring up two related points: Since Processing version 4.0b1, you can bundle sketches as double-clickable .pdez files and Libraries/Modes/Tools as .pdex files for easy sh…

I’m intrigued by the .pdez bundle possibility, but I cannot find how that’s accomplished from the editor. I’ve looked in all the menus and tools. I’m running v4.3 and I’m on Linux if that matters. Thanks for any help to find what I must have overlooked.
