Since xLabel allow things like:


Re-configuration of many modules can be made without !reload or !refresh (which have as "known issues" the fact that all dynamically created $evars$ are destroyed)

Then, I think !reload should be avoid !

But it's so usefull to change Popup menu's content that we currently can't do without !reload :(

Then, I just would like to know if someone wants to re-code Popup in order to load all menu in external file(s) instead of step.rc

So, I'll really appreciate something like:

You can change a popup menu without !reload, but your entries get larger and alphabetized: !PopupDynamicFolder + filemaster

I thought about something like this lately. Thanks

Ok, I've found something more like I'd like it to be:

Everyone should know that with:
modifying $cond$ with !setevar , then !netreloading Popup2 without doing a !reload doesn't work as expected...

But with:
That's not perfect but it works :)

It was so simple that I've never see it...

But I still think Popup is outdated

Really, you should just avoid setting evars!
evars included, and the same file w/ mzscript. Done.

However, Popup would be great with the likes of...

And better yet, allow some indication of true/false of vars (say, like BlackBox does).

...or just have something like !LabelRefresh :)

The true problem is, as Cerbie more or less points out, that evars aren't meant to be dynamic. It's a hack ontop of a system that wasn't designed to support it. The "right" way to do such things is to use mzscript or textedit and !refresh. Most modules support it these days. If a module doesn't, use !(net)reloadmodule.

here is an example of an "on the fly" popup re-build without using !reload
I guess there's no best way to do...
