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 :)

Glad to hear that. There is probably still some issue with double quotes (") because they aren't escaped in any way, but other than that the SEQ code should be quite ok after all the bugfixes.

There is always petconv (20190906), which handles a bunch of quirks, like quote mode and those damned editor lines
</shameless plug>
:)

The output format(s) is still the same?

I haven't touched the file format in ages, so yes.

great!

BTW, how about adding an optional charset picker matrix for directory art (not all chars can be used)? you can see which are the valid ones in this d64 -> http://hitmen.c02.at/temp/testdir.d64

That dirart is a "forever on the todo list" item, which would probably require some quite deep changes to work sensibly.

@ Marq:

I think Groepel ment only a 3rd mode on the right instead of 2 already.
Only a masked char matrix with available chars for DirArt.

There is no need for further big changes at all.

And while you're at it, look what fieserwolf did with his native C64 tools: Allowing to load another font than PETSCII, shouldn't be hard to build in. Maybe even consider ECM mode :)

exactly, just another optional char matrix with the invalid characters removed.

converting the picture into actual directory in a d64 can be done externally, eg using petconv =D
