- Search/replace in xml editor now works.
- Right-click menu in xml editor shows correctly.
- Drag/drop in tree does not copy unless ctrl is pressed.
- Spritesheet and tileset editors no longer crash during load (but are not yet fully working either).

I tested all the listed features and it all works!

Lazarus 2.2.4 was just released and this seems to solve the problems I ran into where I was getting strange crashes in ZGE on Mac.

I now hope to be able to look at the bug reports rrTea made on github and fix those.

Updated first post with alpha 6. The alpha 5 is still there if there are big issues with the new build.

I mainly want to see if the new Lazarus environment is stable.

Issues that should be fixed in this build:
- Clicking within a Project Tree from ZExpression crashes (MacOS) #31
- Editing a persistent array often loses values
- Unexpected Tab behavior in IDE input fields (MacOS) #32

[rrTea]

That's great news!

- Clicking within a Project Tree from ZExpression crashes (MacOS) #31

It's still misbehaving on my end:

Clicking on any component in Project Tree before clicking on "Compile" crashes.

ZGE crash when switching to project tree 2.gif (240.24 KiB) Viewed 56834 times

- Unexpected Tab behavior in IDE input fields (MacOS) #32

This one seems to work properly!

[VilleK]

It's still misbehaving on my end:

Please try alpha 7. Attached to first post.

Fixes:
- Crash when leaving unsaved expression (should now be properly fixed)
- Mouse input not registered in standalone
- Escape not working in standalone

[rrTea]

All three work from what I managed to test, that's fantastic!

Alpha 8:

- fixed a problem that stopped binaries working on Mac OS Ventura.

[VilleK]

Alpha 9:

- audio now works. Both in designer in runtime.
- fix for bug #40 (spritesheet/tileset sometimes will not load)
- fix for bug #23 (copy/paste in project tree won't work)
- also includes the fix that makes the project tree stay expanded after using the xml-editor

Fun fact: I got ChatGPT to help write the audio support on Mac. It got a few things wrong but it still saved a bit of time.

wowo! Great job!!! Wasn't there a selector for various wave types in this part or am I remembering it wrongly? Right now only the square type can be played from within the editor.

You are right, the wave type dropdown got missing for some reason. I did not notice that.

Please check alpha9b in first post.

- Osc1 waveform dropdown now visible
- OnKeyDown/OnKeyUp should now work
- Fix for issue #30 (file open dialog does not filter .zgeproj files)

[rrTea]

Thanks so much Ville

I still didn't manage to test everything, so far I only found that on my end #30 is still not filtering zgeproj files. Will report more tomorrow!
