on Oct 16, 2025 Hey @Stefterv Can I be assigned for this issue , thank you
Sorry if this isn’t the best place to mention this, but it’s related to one of the examples on the website about SVG export. In version 4.4.10, the example “Single Frame from an Animation (With Screen Display)” gives me the error:
“Syntax Error - Missing name or type near boolean record;?”
If I change the variable name
recordto something else, for examplerecording, it works fine. Maybe in this new version that variable name is now reserved for something else? Thanks.Reacted by glvReacted by Stef TerveldeHi @Stefterv,
I see PR #1291 hasn't moved in a couple of months. As others pointed out above, the code currently fails because record is a reserved keyword in the newer Java versions used by P4.
I can open a fresh PR with the fixed variable names (swapping record for isRecording) to get this unblocked and merged. Let me know if that works for you!
@aryanupadh21082004 Hey I am still on it and actually waiting for @SableRaf''s review
Thanks for the update @hxrshxz! I saw the timestamp was a bit old and thought it was inactive. No worries, I'll step back.
Is this still being worked on @hxrshxz ? I would like to reserve this task for a classroom if not.
Hey @catilac the changes have been approved but aren't merged yet
