Bad Goodness: True

More boolean philosophical questions posed by my software:

bad goodness:true

I was trying to set a bunch of clips as marked “good” which Final Cut understands. I thought it was a boolean true/false, so tried to batch mark them. CatDV spewed back this exception. What’s with the “Goodness”? Interesting.

How bad is your goodness?

I prefer to see how good my badness is.

That’s hilarious!  I’ll have to show my GUI students your bad goodness.

In case it helps you work out what a good goodness is, here’s the original source code:

  if (good!=null && !good.equals(“Good”) && !good.equals(“No good”) && !good.equals(“Maybe?”))
      throw new IllegalArgumentException(“Bad goodness: “+good);  // grin

Rolf, LOL! Thanks, that clears that up perfectly. =)

I guess I need to learn Java.
