What a nice surprise! Love text outliners
They are availabe to compile / download?
Sure! Scrunch Edit is just a Tcl script. You can run it in wish after installing tk and tklib.
Thank you! I will investigate about it
Do not have much experience with Tk.
I may or may not sort of have been playing around with them …
KDE Gear 25.12.2
Over 180 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and feature plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE Gear.
See: KDE Gear 25.12.2 - KDE Community
Local update on Haiku, 201 packages (including some devel and doc packages).
Here Kate 25.12.2 and the local build packages for 25.12.2 (201 in total).
In total 118 (including the 4 from Calligra suite) applications/games … installed in the system (not all functional in one way or another, or not supported (yet)). ![]()
These don’t include the packages that are still left on KF5/Qt5 for which we lack QtWebengine for Qt6 at the moment.
KDE Gear 25.12.2 apps on Haiku (local KF6 6.22.0/Qt 6.10.2)
Not sure if there would be an interest in this, or if we even have something simular already?
Dia is a program for drawing diagrams.
Working fine as far as I could test it. ![]()
Do Java apps count?
I used Dia in the past, but on a recent attempt to get back into it I found it clunky and crash-prone. Still, can’t hurt to have it around.
Looks great there @michel ! ![]()
Last official release dates from 2011 it seems, however upstream still has seen updates in the source, so far I haven’t seen a crash here, I’ll first check a build/run on 32bit, if things go well there I’ll probably will push it to the depot then. ![]()
I would like to use yWorks yEd for diagramming, but drag and drop in our Java implementation is broken just enough to make it annoying to use ![]()
What is the obstacle making us unable to have tkinter available?
Apparently Tk plays dirty tricks with X11 windows, that aren’t supported by the XLib compatibility layer in Haiku. No workaround has been found so far. You can probably find more details by searching the forum.
The technical details are tracked in xlibe and Tcl/Tk, static wish produced but with mixed results · Issue #2 · waddlesplash/xlibe · GitHub
In 1979, the original tractor app was created: Visicalc.
This program was so groundbreaking that people bought Apple ][ computers specifically to run it. It was soon recompiled for other architectures, including x86.
Why am I mentioning this in 2026 on a Haiku forum? No reason. No reason at all.
Hmm.. those Apple BASIC days….
But… there was PractiCalc and 20/20….
