Re: Linux, anyone?
My nutrition shareware Diondine has been avaible for Linux, Windows and Mac for more than 3 years. My sales results : Mac : 15% Windows : 85% Linux : 1 sale with a stolen Credit Card (results : a Kagi chargeback and a "free" registration code available on the Internet !) From a Linux forum : - Is there a nutrition program available for Linux ? - Diondine but 1 It's not Open source 2 It costs money So, the last version of my program is not avaible for linux ! Herve Proudhon -- Frenchdiet, a nutrition shareware : http://www.diondine.com Les calanques de Marseille : http://www.calanquesmarseille.com -- Are any of you selling commercial Rev- or MC-based apps to the Linux market? I'd be interested in learning about your experiences there. With MC's speed on Linux, it should be able to compete favorably with most ported wares in terms of performance. The OS itself seems to be moving quickly into a suitable desktop alternative in terms of both capabilities and ease of use (Business Week reports that 10% of desktop machines in India are Linux). Since building for Linux takes only a few seconds in Rev or MC, I wonder to what degree our choice of tools is handing us a good opportunity -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.2: 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 ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Re: MC 2.5 Script editor
Script Editor X next release offers the option to turn on and off the auto-insertion. ... Cheers Xavier http://monsieurx.com -- I'd like to use your ScriptEditor. Unfortunately, it is far too slow for me. Opening my main stack script lasts about 1 minute 45 seconds ! (Mac G4 767 Mhz - less than 1 second in the default Metacard editor) . I suspect the script colorization, but I don't know if there is a way to turn it off (and the "Preferences" don't work). The cursor is constantly rotating in the editor. Is it a bug or the normal behaviour ? Best regards, Herve Proudhon --- Frenchdiet, a nutrition software.

Re: Metacard menu?
In my experience, it is unfortunately necessary to thoroughly test your program in the three environments (native MacOs8 or 9, Classic under OsX and Osx). Differences exists in : - menus (specially the first one, as you experiment) - program icons - information in the finder "Information" window - aspects of buttons, scrolling field and palette windows whatever LookAndFeel you choose. For instance, defaut buttons are very nice looking on OsX, but you cannot control several of their properties (colors, for instance). - some behaviours for pop-up buttons or window activation, applescript ... and certainly numerous others I have not discovered yet. Just an example during the first test of the new version of my nutrition shareware : the program closed at launch because "the filename of this stack" does not give (at least apparently) the same result in Classic and OsX. Regards, Herve Proudhon Shari, You could write the code in the startup handler of your app that would change the value in the Info.pList file, but that would only "take" for subsequent launches; the first time, the user would see "MetaCard". That would be better than a permanent useless menu hanging out there. Especially one that doesn't even have my program's name. I still wonder if it's just another menu btn, why not just insert code to change it or hide it, as I would any other menu btn? The other way is to ship your standalone to someone with OS X and let them fix it for you (until you get a copy of OS X of your own). Not planning to upgrade in the near future. Too many of my programs would break :-) Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software -- --Shareware Games for the Mac-- http://www.gypsyware.com ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Re: Can't Build Standalones in OS X
Hi Everyone, Using MC 2.4.3 to build a standalone. I moved resources and followed the steps in the standalone builder, but whenever I double-click the standalone, it opens, its window appears for a fraction of a second, and then disappears. What am I doing wrong? Greg When you ask the system to open a stack with a specific engine, a "usro" resource is created. This resource is copied into the standalone ; so the system tries to open the standalone with an other one ! Simply delete this resource with resedit. This works with OsX and Classic.

Re: Warn before quit - anyone?
Does anyone else have any ideas as to why my stack would not be pausing when I want to display a dialog before a program quits once someone selects Quit from the menu? This is on OS X, too. I have not been able to try it on OS 9 or Windows, though I'm guessing it's the same. Thanks Karl I have the same problem, but only on MacOsX with MetacardCarbonMach-O. How to trap (or to delete, or disable) the "Quit MyProgram" in the menu which is automatically created when building an application ? It is possible to handle the "About MyProgram" by creating a dummy "About MyProgram" in the "Help menu. Is there such a thing for "Quit" ?

Colors of combobox buttons
Is there a way to control the backgroundcolor (and the backgroundpattern) of the "field part" of a ComboBox button ? I can't change the default white color. I tried all the color related properties. I even tried various stupid things like "set the backgroundcolor of the field of cd button mybutton" !!!

Test of my dietary shareware "Diondine"
Title: Test of my dietary shareware "Diondine" Sorry if this announcement is too off-topic. I search testers for the English version of my dietary shareware ³Diondine² (ideal weight, theoretical caloric requirements, daily food intake monitoring). Diondine is entirely ³Made with Metacard² and runs naturally on PC-Linux, Macintosh and PC-Windows. If somebody in the list is interested in food and weight control, I would appreciate receiving some feedback, including comments and criticisms. Beta-test download site : "http://www.diondine.com/beta/beta.html" (Warning. The files are -quite large- compressed standalones : 2 Megs for Linux and Windows, 2.9 Megs for Mac). Best regards.

Re : stuttering mac stack
Here, your stack runs smoothly on a G3/266 and quite decently on a 6100/60 ! I experimented jerky movements in a program using the move command when Internet Explorer is running in the background. I recall Scott said it is an OpenTransport problem affecting all time-sensitive and Internet programs.
