[parasyte]

Another repo with an example for fltk: https://github.com/parasyte/pixels

[MoAlyousef]

Indeed. Thank you :)

[pysrc]

This is my fltk-rs project that a toy remote desktop implemented by rust. Thank you. https://github.com/pysrc/diffscreen

[MoAlyousef]

Thank you. I’ve updated the list.

[MatthiasWM]

Wow! That is an impressive list of apps! What a great idea to publish this here. If I may copy you, I will do something similar for core FLTK.

[MoAlyousef]

That would be a great idea. Some are already listed on wikipedia and the FLTK website. I can also contribute to that list.

Github provides a "Used By" heading in Rust repos which generally makes finding projects depending on yours easier.

[CM-IV]

I'd like to add my file encryption software crypto_rs to this list. The program makes use of the age encryption library to encrypt your provided file and generate a password. Make sure to clone the fltk branch - unless you'd like to try the software implemented with either the clap or inquire crates via their respective branches.

[MoAlyousef]

Thank you for sharing your app @CM-IV
I'll update the list

[theavege]

It would be cool to celebrate the EDE project and accumulate these programs into it.
It will be possible to think about HIG (for example Gnome, Elementary, KDE) for FLTK applications.

FLTK-RS is amazing and renews the interest in FLTK. Thank you!

[MoAlyousef]

Thank you for your kind words!

[theavege]

@MoAlyousef , can you add tabs, find, replace, mark to "examples/editor.rs" and "examples/editor2.rs"?

[MoAlyousef]

I'm working (when I have the chance) on an editor example to add to the fltk-rs/demos repo. The code can be found here:
https://github.com/MoAlyousef/red

It needs some more work, especially tying closable tabs to file buffers.
The examples in the example dir are supposed to be small and easily understandable to new users.

[theavege]

Great! Thanks a lot! I couldn't find a file manager on FLTK.

[MatthiasWM]

@MoAlyousef I will be reworking the FLTK/demo editor on the C++ side in the next weeks. After all, it's used as part of the manual as a tutorial, and the app and tutorial seem to be out of sync. Let me know if there are wishes or concerns.

[theavege]

@MoAlyousef Do you know how to implement running only one instance of the application?

[MoAlyousef]

@MatthiasWM Thanks for working on this. In the red editor demo, I'm adding closable tabs to showcase that feature as well. It also has an embedded terminal if compiled with cargo build --feature=portable-pty. I think I'm running into a bug in Fl_Simple_Terminal::append(const char *, int len) which I'll try to debug later. It only appears on linux.

@theavege I think I saw a modern file manager FLTK project recently (in C++), it may be this https://github.com/darealshinji/fltk-filetable or https://github.com/darealshinji/fltk-dialog,
To run a single instance of an application, I think you'll have to check the system's process list at the start of an app. I'm not sure if there's a crossplatform way to do it.

[theavege]

@MoAlyousef Thanks a lot! I'm exploring them.

[undisbeliever]

Can you please add Terrific Audio Driver (A homebrew audio driver for the Super Nintendo) to this list.

---

I chose to write the GUI using fltk-rs as it supported the 3 features I wanted (tables, group::Tabs widget and TextEditor syntax highlighting) and because of how easy it was to cross-compile Linux, Windows and OSX.

Thank you for creating fltk-rs. The examples you have published and the quick response to my bug reports have been a tremendous help in the creation of this GUI.

[MoAlyousef]

Thank you. terrific-audio-driver looks great, I'll have to give it a try.
I've added it to the list.

[zalupa35]

can you please add a Rustree to this list? this is a notepad that stores text in a hierarchical structure. it compiles for windows, but I'm not sure if it compiles for linux. Also thanks for creating fltk-rs! I really liked using it
Here is a gif of how Rustree looks with all the themes in fltk-rs:

[MoAlyousef]

Thank you. I've added Rustree to the showcase. The idea itself is interesting. I also tried building on linux and it does build:

[MoAlyousef]

I don’t think it would be appropriate. If a developer decides to quit their own project, it’s their prerogative.
Having other people’s code in the demos repo, might make them uncomfortable. It would also imply that such code would need to be maintained by someone who knows the code, in which case they’re bettor off forking the project and maintaining it there.

[NoelJacob]

Maybe it could be inside a folder called external_demos with readme telling that its user submitted content. Or we could have a separate repo but that might be unnecessary and not get traction.

[PiyushXCoder]

This is my fltk-rs project.
IT is a tool to make posts in bulk for social media.

[MoAlyousef]

Thank you @PiyushXCoder.
Very cool app.
