Release id #183585 : PETSCII November 2019 Edition
There's been a rather big rewrite when migrating the editor from Processing 2 to Processing 3, so I'd be happy to get some beta testing reports before the actual release:

Better file selectors on Lin/Mac, experimental tablet mode, some old bugs removed, should work on recent Java versions, Mac prefs issues hopefully sorted out, and more :) |

I think the double-quote " ($22) is semi-legal, as you can have chars after the closing " ($a0) of a filename. Not sure what happens when using $22 after the closing $a0, though. :) |

that will have weird side effects though, and as you said you need different rules once a quote is there. better to avoid it :) |

Thanks for the tips! In the source version there is already a "Dir Art" mode now. I decided that the user can draw with illegal chars too, they'll just be shown in red. Would have been pretty complicated and probably worse UX wise trying to avoid the illegal chars all the time.
I don't really have many ideas what to do about the mode next. Files can be saved and loaded, and starting to poke d64 images directly doesn't sound like the stuff I'd want to do any time soon. With DirMaster around I think this mode will see rather little use anyway. Some intermediate export format that could be used with a d64 tool would probably be within reach -- right now I don't even know how I would get the pic to a floppy image :) |

leaving the conversion to external tools is perfectly fine - most ppl would probably even prefer this (i certainly do), since during development you want to build the d64 first, and then write the dirart into it (automatically). |

The half-assed "dirart" mode is now part of the binary release (2020 version of course, not this one). At least it'll keep the image size correct and show the offending chars, if not much more. |
