Marvin 4.1 had a detachable, resizable sketcher window that was very useful when MarvinSketch was delivered as an applet as a predetermined size.
In Marvin 5.2, I can't find the sketcher window anymore. All I can find is Open MarvinView2D, but the contents of this window are not editable.
Have you gotten rid of the sketcher window? If so, what was the last version that had it, and please bring it back!!!

Hi Bob,
The detachable MarvinSketch applet supports this feature. Please, see this example:

Can the USER control whether to detach the applet, as in Marvin 4.1? Is there a menu command to detach the applet?

Unfortunatelly, there is no menu option to control it by the user.
But there is an other alternative to resize MarvinSketch applet. We have already mentioned this solution to you in our private conversion.
You can create a web page where the size of the embedded applet is changing as you resize the browser window.
Please see the following online example (visit to the page and change the size of the browser window).
http://www.chemaxon.com/test/example-resize.html
The relevant part of the code is copied here (the full source is available in the online example):
<body topmargin='0' leftmargin='0' marginwidth='0' marginheight='0' onLoad='resize()' onResize='resize()'>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function resize() {
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
window.width=document.body.clientWidth;
window.height = document.body.clientHeight;
} else {
var netscapeScrollWidth=15;
window.width = window.innerWidth - netscapeScrollWidth;
window.height = window.innerHeight - netscapeScrollWidth;
}
document.MSketch.width = window.width;
document.MSketch.height = window.height;
window.scroll(0,0);
}
window.onResize = resize;
window.onLoad = resize;
</SCRIPT>
<script LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.1' SRC='/marvin/marvin.js'></script>
<script LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.1'>
<!--
msketch_name = 'MSketch';
msketch_begin('/marvin', window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
try
{
msketch_end();
}catch(e)
{
}
//-->
</script>

Unfortunately, I don't think this solution will provide enough room for the students to draw their mechanism.
For now, I had made a workaround: When I expect a very large response (i.e. a multistep mechanism), I launch the detached applet. The student can then choose to use it or close it.
But please restore the ability of the user to launch the detached applet in a future version.

OK, we will reimplement detaching sketcher window from sketch applet.

What is the status of this feature? I have another exam coming up, and I would like students to be able to launch the sketcher window themselves.

We plan to fix it in Marvin 5.3.1.

Hi Bob,
As I have already informed you in another topic, we had to make an urgent patch release that was named 5.3.1, therefore this fix will also be included only in the patch release coming at the end of March (probably named 5.3.2).
Best regards,
Akos

We could not implement the detaching sketch window feature for 5.3.2. There were some critical tasks that we had to complete till this release. We have shifted your request to 5.3.3.

Has this feature been reimplemented in Marvin 5.3.3?

Looking at Marvin 5.3.4, I still don't see the "View sketcher window" option in the View menu.

In past weeks, we fixed critical issues that forced us to shift less critical tasks. I expect to complete your request in July.

Here it is late September. What is the status of this request?

Hi Bob,
Tamas is on holiday. This feature is already implemented, and will be released in 5.4 next month (View > Sketcher Window).
Best regards,
Akos
