Re: Update Mac menubar fails in standalone
Recently, Shari wrote: Is it possible that you password-protected the stack in the standalone? I think you should be able to do all the above provided the stack is not protected. One embedded stack is encrypted, but not the one that used the handler, or the one the handler was in. I ran into several limitations in the standalone. A standalone puts the program into starter kit mode. I didn't think this was the case, but it does seem to be true. This is unfortunate for folks who need to modify scripts at runtime in anything outside the development environment. Perhaps there is a way you could store your changing code in separate stacks and load the stacks as needed using your standalone. To Scott Raney Company: would it make sense to add a licenseKey property or something similar to permit creation of licensed standalones that can modify scripts? Don't know if this would make MC too accessible to folks who haven't paid for licenses but the option to create editable scripts via a standalone does seem legitimate.

This appeared to work OK on 2.4.2. With 2.4.3 this definitely doesn't work. You must set the externals property in the source stack, save and quit before compiling the standalone. Same applies when running stack under MetaCard engine. Yes- this appears to be a quirk of MetaCard 2.4.3. Of course this is also the first release which *used* the externals property on MacOS. Note that this property can contain multiple lines, in case you are working cross-platform. So this is not problem of VXCMD... Place VXCMD_macho bundle in same folder as standalone.app. Setting externals property to ./VXCMD_macho works as you suggested Brian. Catch2: MetaCard 2.4.3 fileName property returns paths less the Drive designation ie 2.4.2 returns /Macintosh HD/Users/username//fileLastname 2.4.3 returns /Users/username//fileLastname VXCMD only works if database name is of form Macintosh HD:Users:username::dBase.vdb Anything else fails. Brians' VXCMD crashes application - Ruslans' doesn't and returns error. The problem is that under 2.4.3 there seems to be no way to unambiguously add the drive - apart from querying the drives() and trying multiple cases. All file existence checking now works without the drive designation. Ruslan: may be we can add check in VXCMD for POSIX-style paths on MacOS? Or relative paths? It is a small pain- VXCMD wants colon-delimited paths with the volume name, and MetaCard gives / delimited paths with no volume name (i.e. /Users/yennie/Desktop/MyDatabase). Yes, I think this is important not only for VXCMD, but for any macho based product of Valentina. -- Best regards, Ruslan Zasukhin [ I feel the need...the need for speed ] - e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.paradigmasoft.com To subscribe to the Valentina mail list send a letter to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Alternative to FTP
Hi MetaCard Users, The current way I'm using to get info to and from my web site via scripts is this: put url ftp://userName:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/myFolder/myFile/; into url myLocalFilePath However, some school districts have 'firewalls' which don't allow ftp calls. The http protocol seems to work, though, so I'm wondering if anybody knows how to do the same thing via the http protocal. Thanks, Ray Horsley Developer, LinkIt!

I think this is down to the ability of the browser to accept command line parameters in the shell. launch http://www.somewhere.com; with konqueror also works, now to see how to get around the issue with launch when the browser/process is already open? OK - this works nicely using the shell(browserAppName somurl) version Andu suggested...

you could post the contents of a web page (url encoded) and then urldecode it in a cgi the other end? ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Hard one :)
Ok Linux gurus So how do you use metacard as find the url the browser is currently on? In MacOs you can use an AppleScript... The only thing I can think of is to configure MC as a file helper, or maybe create a cgi which uses the $HTTP_REFERER and then do something with a bookmark? ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Anyone who really needs this functionality should rest assured that there are methods of getting around these limits. But all require signing contracts and paying additional fees and so are not something you want to do just to simplify your development a little (and in this particular case barely any at all). Allowing anyone with an existing license key to defeat the Starter Kit limits with no restrictions is a recipe for disaster, however, and so is not something we're willing to consider.
