Re: RE: MC 2.5b3 (Scott Raney)
as I understand VW/MW/EC as debugging tools it wold be a good idea to have them in an enabled tool menu in debugMode or in the enabled debug menu itself... besides: what about the spaceBar as the only or additional trigger-key for step into??

MC 2.5 Script editor
Hi listmembers, 1. is anybody missing the old scripteditor menus: Messages Control Structures Commands Functions Properties ? 2. in former versions you could leave breakpoints in your scripts and they didn´t do anything without opening the debugger and if you needed further debugging you could easy find the old debugging points. In version 2.5 there is no extra debugger and MC debugs - stops at - every breakpoint!?!?! Am I right???

Re: Feature idea: auto-complete typing in scripts
Hi Karl, first I love MetaCard but the scriptingEditor is really a little outdated obviously is Scott working hard to keep pace with other featurewishes and gave the fancy UI-part to revolution I tried to familiarize with revolution several times - but its too funky - to overloaded there are a lot of good features but.:-((( and they have something like you are looking for! probably you are thinking of something like in VB?? what about things like - - oups what OS are you working on??? - typeIt4Me or quicKeys on Mac shortHand on Windows?? but somebody has to write the library Regards, Ernst - Original Message - Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2002 11:19:39 -0500 Subject: Feature idea: auto-complete typing in scripts From: Karl Becker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not sure if this is possible to write a script that would do this (it's definitely not possible very easily, I don't think), but wouldn't it be great if, while editing an object's script, you could simply type in the first couple characters of a variable name and the entire word would be automatically filled out for you, just as URLs are auto-completed in web browsers now? If a script could somehow keep track of the unrecognized words in a script (those that aren't reserved by MetaCard) and then figure out when you've typed in the first letter or two of a variable name, then autocomplete the rest of the word (while keeping it highlighted so you could easily change the auto-completed part, just like in a web browser)... boy, would that be useful! Has anyone ever done anything like this? Ever attempted to? I'd imagine a script could simply be put in the script editor stack somehow... but I'm a bit chicken to attempt this all by myself :-) -- Karl Becker, KB Productions http://www.karlbecker.com --__--__-- ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard End of metacard Digest ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Re: Feature request -- is standard file operations
Hi Philip, some time ago I tried to start a discussion on something like this but no one replied I think that standard operations like the one you mentioned should be basics delete file copy file to move file to rename file delete and rename work in MC in the logical way... see MCreference... but copy and move is not supported in this way as fas as I know you have to use the illogical workaround of put URL to copy a file... and for moving you have to copy and delete in seperate steps Regards, Ernst Message: 7 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 13:57:30 EST Subject: Feature request To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --part1_14b.8ebf3da.299d629a_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I haven't looked at 2.4 yet so perhaps this has already been addressed, but something that would be helpful would be in the procedure to get the files of a certain folder.

ReReReRe: ss (searchScript)::::-))))
J. Landman Gay wrote on I can't find anything like the HC ss (searchScript): but I suspect a lot of us have made our own Switching from Macs and HyperCard to windo(w)s and metaCard... I missed something like ss and some other things like vw and mw. I deplore that such things aren´t in MC sorry to say that but Revolution is to me still more a fancy-work than a real working area... People using MC should find a place where they put their development-environment-enhancements/improvements as something like opensource... We don´t need to reinvent something like gimp or linux - - but a more comfortable development-environment with our beloved metaCard should be reason?!?!?!?

dateCalculations before 1970 and after 2037

Yeah what you need to do (what I did) is come up with routines to dd/mm/ and time to julian date and then write a few routines to convert from julian date back to a string, to and from dateitems, and calculate the day of week from julian date. Tuviah Sorry, but this sounds a little bit too complicated... why does MCs convert to dateitems not work outside this ranges?? e.g. just to get the proper weekday of a day 50 years plus 10 days in future should work with it get the date convert it to dateitems add 50 to item 1 of it add 10 to item 3 of it convert it to dateitems and as usual the last item should be the weekday but MC returns invalid date it must be a bug!!

copy file - an endless story
Hi all, I partial read the tread of "copy file" or put URL and so on I wonder why the MC-team made it so complicated... in each operating system I know (its only MacOS, DOS and Windo(w)s) these kind of filemanipulations (copy, move, rename and delete) are the most basical ones... MacOs and Windows its by dragging but its similar to the basics in DOS copy x to y move x to y rename x to y delete x Why couldn´t this be so in MC too wouldn´t be something like that or similar sound logical - more logical than triing to copy a simple file by the for evereybody understandable command: put URL "binfile." into URL bla bla bla Regards, Ernst
