Hello, Volker -  
  
I've begun proofreading the Scripting section here, as promised. Since I'm just getting started with scripting for Freeplane, would you please double-check my edits to ensure that I've understood the content?

I've continued proofreading the Scripting section and, as requested, have deleted the questions to which you've already responded. I'll add more as they arise, and hope that other users will also add their feedback here. <br> --[[User:Jayseye|Jayseye]] 23:19, 10 March 2010 (UTC)<br>
 
 
As a novice I'll also have some questions as I follow the steps under [http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Scripting#Getting_started:_sumNodes.groovy Getting started]. It seems cleanest to ask those questions here on this Talk page (below), rather than muddying up the text on the [http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Scripting Scripting] page itself.

== Content Questions ==
 
 
 
=== [http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Scripting#Create_a_script_and_integrate_it_into_Freeplane Create a script...] ===
 
 
If the user requires a text editor to create the script, then it would be good to say that explicitly. When I read "You can start with scripting without any prior download of additional software," I assumed that referred to Freeplane's built-in Script Editor. That seems to be the wrong tool to use here.
 
 
Also I wonder if steps 1 and 2 should be swapped, to create the scripts directory first, before creating the test script.
 
 
=== Warning for unsigned scripts ===
 
 
When running the script for the first time, the user gets a dialog with a rather severe warning that an unsigned script could damage their computer. So it would be a good idea to prepare the reader for this in advance.

=== Log file ===
 
 
Watching the log file as suggested, I see a lot of "Result:null" entries before and / or after the expected output. Here's an example:
 
 
STDOUT: Result:null
 
 
 
STDOUT:[org.freeplane.plugin.script.proxy.NodeProxy@1c78794a]
 
 
 
STDOUT: Result:null
 
 
Any idea what might be causing these?
 
 
Thanks!

Proofreading

Hello, Volker -

I've continued proofreading the Scripting section and, as requested, have deleted the questions to which you've already responded. I'll add more as they arise, and hope that other users will also add their feedback here.
