Been following this list regarding all Rev talk. And one thing I hope
gets ironed out before I'm ready to make the leap... is anybody
successfully compiling standalones for Macintel yet? There seemed to
be some issues there. Standalones not launching?
No reply from the mothership yet...
Or did the example stack of Mark help you solving the puzzle, Richard?
When Richard gets a free moment there will be progress. I am too swamped
to deal with it right now. But it isn't really a problem for me because
I've become very fond of the Rev standalone builder now. I prefer it.
But you can of course use Revolution for building standalones, but then
you will have to save your stack as "xyz.REV" to make it work.
No, you can open any stack without changing its extension. In the Open
File dialog there is a popup menu which allows to open only Rev stacks
(the default) or "any file". Choose the last option and it will open
anything.
I'm not sure about the extension when building standalones; I haven't
tried anything other than ".rev". But I routinely name all my stacks
with ".rev" now because they work fine in MC and you can still drop them
onto the app and they will open.
I will definitely be staying with the Metacard interface when I
upgrade. I like it's simplicity and easy overhead.
Yeah, so do we! :-)
I find myself using both now. I prefer MC for all the basics --
particularly layout -- because I find Rev's property inspector to be too
slow and non-intuitive. However, I like the Standalone Builder, the way
the message box tells you the defaultstack, the list of pending messages
on demand, that sort of thing. The list of handlers at the left of the
script editor is also nice. So depending on what I'm doing, I use both.
Between the two it is the best of both worlds. I appreciate the flexibility.
