Firedrop2 offline blogging tool.I completed code changes on Firedrop to allow the build.ini file to be read and written using ConfigObj, which like Firedrop itself is written by Fuzzyman. I also added functionality to have the app open a default site; naturally, the user can then edit this folder once the app opens. All is well with the app – sometimes.
When I took my USB key containing MovPy and Firedrop to my office, and ran it there (under WinXP, same as at home), the text doesn’t appear the first time any dialog is opened. It is only after I run any function that displays a file-system directory that the dialogs display their text. Strange!

I’ve started poking around in the Firedrop code to see if there is anything I could work on. One of the first things I noticed was the the build.ini file was being read by a home-grown method, and written back in a similar way. But the MovPy distribution that I’m using for Firedrop includes the ConfigObj toolkit created by Fuzzyman. Why not use that instead?
I made the necessary changes to the code. The method to read the .ini file dropped from 13 lines to 3 lines!

I got some issues worked out with Firedrop2 and have successfully made a first post with it. I’m composing this post off-line, on an installation of Firedrop2 on a USB memory stick that I have handy. What this means is that I can carry the stick around with me and compose blog entries anywhere I go that has access to a computer.
Once I’ve composed a blog entry, I click one button and it’s copied up to my web server and posted there.
Still to come – work on a graphical design for the pages.
