Sorry - I couldn't find a relevant board to put this in. I'll assume the moderators will move it where they think it fits best.

I tried inserting an inline image within a post and couldn't get it to work.  There used to be bb instructions way at the bottom of the of the site, but couldn't find anything.

I tried:

Code: [Select]

[url][img]http://www2.lise.ca:84/BoardPostings/20201208_161940.png[/img][/url]

The only thing that actually got me an image box (but empty) was using the old format that I copied from an old Glynor post:

Code: [Select]

<img src="http://glynor.com/img/screenshots/MC27/Category_Pane-Direct_Editing.png" alt="" class="bbc_img">

and that worked!  but when I changed the url to mine, I got the properly sized box without the content

Code: [Select]

<img src="http://www2.lise.ca:84/BoardPostings/20201208_161940.png" alt="" class="bbc_img">

and of course I tried sharing from Google Drive and Dropbox, but none of those links worked either. Google because it doesn't end with an image format I suppose, and Dropbox because it adds a few characters at the end of the image extension

Code: [Select]

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ekeq2f69kjte8hl/20201208_164653.png?dl=0


so I tried removing everything after "png" but it made no difference.

I tried just pasting an image and of course that didn't work either.

Hi Lise, I keep a copy of your last MC chm file around here, just because.... (October 2009-ish)

Code: [Select]

[img]http://lise.ca/BoardPostings/20201208_161940.png[/img]These two working for me, shows you explaining your fave album system.

To make the image a url link, 3rd one below, wrap it like so:

Code: [Select]

[url=http://www2.lise.ca:84/BoardPostings/20201208_161940.png][img]http://www2.lise.ca:84/BoardPostings/20201208_161940.png[/img][/url]
Then of course, if all else fails, you have the attachment option... (as attached)

haha!  I still have all the files lying around in some archive folder somewhere, ready to re-compile just in case ;-)
Funny though... when I go through the wiki I see quite a bit in there that's still from those old days. Lots of my examples too are still being used. I'm glad. I like  real-world examples.  But I tell ya, some of the features since then, wow, I'm so out of the loop! Thank goodness for the forum and people like you who help us out

Are you sure you aren't seeing my images as attachments? It would be too weird if you were seeing them inline, because when I couldn't see them I just removed all the relevant code in that post.  Doesn't really matter. I'll follow your instructions next time.  Thanks Marko.

Actually, it's largely thanks to Marko that the Wiki doesn't look completely identical to what you remember from all those years ago.  He's the one that added the documentation on the expressions you were just looking at Lise. (He's also the guy I mentioned who struggled with the And() function!)

Marko, was And() one of the ones you just documented for the Wiki?  Did we just add that function in 26 with all those other expressions we formulated in that big spurt?  I can't remember, and it was never mentioned in the release notes.

Lise was just struggling with it, because evidently it wasn't in her MC24. And when I looked at this page:
https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Boolean_Operations
It says right at the top "The Expression Language does not have AND, OR and XOR logical connectives" and of course now it does.  Another page for you to update!

To be fair, I did a LOT of work on the Wiki a few years ago, including the Expression Language pages. My recent masterpiece (since the DirectShow Guide became unimportant anyway) though was probably the RMCF pages.

But, yeah, Marko did a LOT of work, especially early-on (and continues to poke at it, as do I here and there).

Thanks, though there are others. MrC made many insightful contributions, and glynor too, including much reorganising and categorising, and to any other contributors out there, please don't be offended that you're not named. All contributions are appreciated by many many MC users.

I added it in June this year, but, as per the disclaimer at the head of the Function Index, we didn't track when each expression was actually added, so, the only way to be sure you have it is to run the latest MC

Updated

Also, I keep a todo list of expression changes that need updated in the wiki here. The red entries are still to be done. I should probably add a link to that in the function index header too...

I've brought this up before, but the best way to keep the list of un-finished business in a Wiki is with redlinks.

They show, right in-line, what is missing. And they make it easy to add the content when you have the time or inkling to do it. And, most importantly, they're easy to track and generate a to-do listing automatically.

You should get rid of your separate list, and just add them to the Function Listing as redlinks.
