I love the self-consistency of MetaTalk. Raney's a hard person to please when it comes to suggesting language features, but given how many funky syntax workarounds he's managed to avoid it seems well worth his stringent evaluation process -- the result is arguably the most full-featured xTalk, and with the fewest syntactic exceptions to keep in minds when using it. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Custom Software and Web Development for All Major Platforms Developer of WebMerge 1.9: Publish any Database on Any Site ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

I heard that we are moving over to a Mach-O build for the OS X version of MC on the next release. So, we should be very close to having Shell support on X soon. -Mark ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

This is exactly what I need. I did not catch that the filename property is actually a filepath that allows me to swap the image content dynamically (and the image object resizes accordingly). I do not want to import these images. These are external files and I just need to acquire their sizes dynamically.

Scott may answer, but my guess would be "no closer." MetaCard for OS X is a Carbon app, and from what I understand there's no way for Carbon apps to be able to issue UNIX commands. Cocoa apps can do this, but rewriting MetaCard in Cocoa from the ground up would not be a lot of fun for MetaCard, and from what I hear Cocoa isn't totally all there yet. But what about an external which could issue UNIX commmands and act as a "go-between" between Carbon and OS X? I'm with you... There are a MILLION different things I'd like to do with MetaCard for OS X, but I can't do them because MC for OS X doesn't allow shell commands. I end up using mc (darwin), or AppleScript, and I'd much rather use MetaCard (OS X version.) There are a bunch of us who could write some serious kick-ass apps if MC could do this. -- :) Richard MacLemale Network Administrator J. W.

Rather than relying on an external MC has native image objects, with properties that can be querried and set like buttons and fields. In this case, the property you're looking for is the fileName of the image object: set the filename of image 1 to tMyPath get the rect of image 1 If you don't already have an image object on the card, you can also import image files into a new image object using the import command. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Custom Software and Web Development for All Major Platforms Developer of WebMerge 1.9: Publish any Database on Any Site ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
