Re: Gorm is broken for some reason...

Fred,

I believe there are similar issues with other classes.  I will take a look and find all instances of this.  I will also try to find a more permanent fix.  It seems like bumping the version of the class might be necessary as it is, in essence, an encoding change.

After fixing some unrelated stuff I got around to look into the problem with NSSlider in Gorm.
The cause of the problem was the change in the instance variables in gui from float to CGFloat, this prevents the encoding/decoding from working correctly. As a quick workaround I added local variables of the old type as an intermediate storage for the values. In the long run we need to change from decodeValuesOfObjCTypes: to storing each value with the correct type separately.
A similar change to the one in NSSliderCell will also be needed for NSEvent, but luckily nobody will be storing events in an archive.

Pleas give this workaround a try,
Fred

Also when selecting objects the classes do not appear correctly or at all.   I am going to build with GCC to see if this corrects the problem, but I don't think it will.

I will look into this later this week. Probably starting off by fixing some of the compiler warnings that get displayed when compiling Gorm. Most likely the pallets used by Gorm are out of date with regard to the gui implementation.
