Weird cursor freeze
Hello folks, Banging my head against a wall on this one. I have a mainstack with several substacks. One substack presents 10 images, which the user rates. I do some funny business with the cursor during this, to make the cursor disappear after a rating is made, and reappear at the mid point on a bipolar scale ready for the next rating. The cursor is also constrained within the scale area during rating to prevent accidental clicks outwith the scale. That all works fine. Data is gathered fine, with the cursor moving and changing as it should in all circumstances. At the end of the ratings, I have a routine that resets stuff and prepares the ratings to be either run again (button starter) or user return to the mainstack (continue). It is a very innocuous handler. on finish hide button N e x t p i c t u r e hide group raters hide group blocker show button continue show button starter -- repeat 5 times -- set the cursor to busy -- end repeat -- unlock cursor -- set cursor to hand -- wait 1 sec -- set cursor to cross -- wait 1 sec -- set cursor to arrow end finish The commented section is stuff I put in to try to find out what was going on. The script runs fine but then the cursor freezes in position, and displaying as whatever icon was last set. Oddly, the cursor is locked in the same place in all open apps, so switching between finder etc. and LC doesn't help. Using shortcuts to switch in and out of browse/edit mode doesn't work. The only way out I have found in the dev environment is to invoke the preferences stack via shortcut, and THEN switch between browse and edit mode via keyboard. This allows the cursor to move, but it sticks with whatever icon was set until it feels like changing for no obvious reason, although sometimes in response to a command. I have tried various cursor related commands within the finish handler, all of which appear to be executed correctly, but always followed by the system wide cursor lock up. Running the debugger prevents the problem arising, so it isn't much help. Sadly, the problem isn't restricted to the dev environment, and I have to force quit standalones on Mac. All this is on Mac, running LC 4.0 and 4.5 Could it be a problem with the mac cursor stack? If so, how should I set about exploring that possibility? This is ruining a nice days scripting that I have been looking forward to for weeks, so any help would be gratefully received.

Re: revdb and PostgreSQL 9.0.3 (linux x64) [solved]
Hi there, Problem solved by switching back to CentOS 5.6 / PostgreSQL 8.1.23. Best, Hi Friends, When i try to connect PostgreSQL 9.0.3 from revserver (localhost, OpenSuse 10.4 x64), in using this code : put postgresql into DbTarget ; put mydatabase into DbName # Constante 3 4 # put mypguser into DbUser ; put mypguserpassword into DBPasswd # Constantes 5 6 # put revOpenDatabase (DbTarget,localhost,DbName,DbUser,DBPasswd) into myDatabaseID if myDatabaseID is not a number then return myDatabaseID else i get this back : revdberr,invalid database type Did anyone there got the right way to solve this inconstancy and, else, what is the last PostgreSQL supported version revserver-revdb are known to be able to run friendly with ?

Yay! Victory RevServer runs on FreeBSD with Linux Compat installed.
Folks, Just to tell people here that RevServer runs on FreeBSD 8.1 with the Linux Binary Compatibility ports installed. It takes a while to install all the needed Linux version of the libraries but it works. A screenshot: http://idisk.me.com/soapdog/Public/Pictures/Skitch/Welcome_to_revIgniter-20110412-161011.jpg From the FreeBSD Handbook: FreeBSD provides binary compatibility with several other UNIX® like operating systems, including Linux. At this point, you may be asking yourself why exactly, does FreeBSD need to be able to run Linux binaries? The answer to that question is quite simple. Many companies and developers develop only for Linux, since it is the latest “hot thing” in the computing world. That leaves the rest of us FreeBSD users bugging these same companies and developers to put out native FreeBSD versions of their applications. The problem is, that most of these companies do not really realize how many people would use their product if there were FreeBSD versions too, and most continue to only develop for Linux. So what is a FreeBSD user to do? This is where the Linux binary compatibility of FreeBSD comes into play. In a nutshell, the compatibility allows FreeBSD users to run about 90% of all Linux applications without modification. This includes applications such as StarOffice™, the Linux version of Netscape®, Adobe® Acrobat®, RealPlayer®, VMware™, Oracle®, WordPerfect®, Doom, Quake, and more. It is also reported that in some situations, Linux binaries perform better on FreeBSD than they do under Linux.

Volumes have been written about the GPL and FOSS in general. Big topic, with many implications. Do you have a project you're thinking of deploying under the GPL? If so, what are you goals in doing so? GPL can be a great option if it's what you need, but there are so many licenses available, and of course the creator of a work can define any terms he chooses, so it can be difficult to offer any brief recommendation one way or another without some details. While looking at different licensing options a few months ago for a project I'd considered possibly GPL'ing, I came across one tip that may be useful: It's easier to convert proprietary code to GPL than the other way around, so if you have any questions about whether to use GPL it may be prudent to consider more closed terms at first until those questions are answered.

Re: Live LiveCode Code Event #17 - wrap-up
Ok this is the third time I've tried to send this email and I still get messages saying that It's too big even though it shows up as only 9kb. So I've now split it into 3, - Part1a, Part1b and part2 First off I would like to thank Mark for organising the Live LiveCode #17 and also for putting it on line for those of us who were not able to be there Live and thus enjoyed Preserved LiveCode #17 - which I guess means it's LiveCode Jam #17 :-) But my real appreciation goes to Claudi for his presentation. Claudi, your presentation was spot on, at least for me. Doing it Live is tough, but if we waited until everything was perfect, we'd never have these gems of information. Most of us are way to busy to get it how we'd really like it. So please, do a follow up, I might not be able to view Live LiveCode, but hopefully I can always enjoy LiveCode Jam. Claudi and Thomas, I've really appreciated your posts re the Arduino and do hope you keep the List updated on your progress. Also a thanks to Sarah and her Serial Test stack which saved me a couple of wheels I didn't need to reinvent. I also recently came across Arduino and have been experimenting with it and LiveCode. Foolishly I spent a couple of days experimenting with it first before heading to this List. So I reinvented the wheel a couple of times ;-( I'd just like to add a couple of my own observations which may be of use to others who venture down the Arduino + LiveCode path. IMPORTANT My comments are based on my personal set-up, your mileage IS SURE to vary. OSX 10.6.6 LiveCode 4.6 Arduino Mega COPY - my board is made by a company called Seeed Studio under the open license and differs from a standard Arduino Mega in a couple of ways, but the most important is it has 70 digital I/Os instead of the Mega's 54. Also it is an older board so it uses the older FTDI USB drivers. I'm currently ONLY interested in reading Digital INPUTS. I have not set up any outputs. My sketch simply loops through reading all the pins, ONLY if ANY pin has changed status since the last loop, the sketch sends a 'Serial.println' to LiveCode with the status of EVERY input. ie 1100010111… I started out experimenting with 2, then 10 and now 69 input pins. WITH REFERENCE TO CLAUDI's 'MUST DOs' I do not need to disconnect the Arduino after uploading a sketch. My first 'read' is not 'for 1 line' but I use what I got from Sarah's Serial Test stack, 'read from driver tDriverName until CRLF' and to that I added 'in 1 ticks'. This seems to prevent LiveCode from hanging on the first call. From then on, as Claudi said (and I know in the video he mentioned someone said NOT to use 'read until empty') I also 'read until empty' although I have had success with 'read until CRLF' but in that case I'm not sure if I've missed any lines so I stick with 'ready until empty'. I also can not get LiveCode to communicate with Arduino at a BAUD of 115200, 57600 is the fastest I can go. At the other end of the spectrum I can't get LiveCode and Arduino to communicate at BAUD 300 or 1200, the slowest is 2400. I am CONVINCED this is a LiveCode problem. The Arduino Serial Monitor has no problem communicating at 300 or 115200 BAUD, so clearly Arduino + FTDI USB Driver + OS X 10.6.6 are happy. (I'm not really interested in 300/1200, if the mothership can fix 115200 that would be great) See Part 1b for more ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Live LiveCode Code Event #17 - wrap-up
This only makes sense if you've read Part 1a MY IMPORTANT OBSERVATIONS Basically LiveCode is EXTREMELY susceptible to timing issues and there is a NEED to include a 'wait' command in your LiveCode loop. What is illogical, and from my own perspective, only possible to determine through experimentation, is the appropriate length of the wait. It's also IMPORTANT to include 'with messages' with your 'wait' otherwise you can lock-up LiveCode. Here is an extract of my LiveCode script: open driver tDriverName for text update write numToChar(1) cr to driver tDriverName wait 1 ticks with messages read from driver tDriverName until CRLF in 1 ticks --need first read repeat read from driver tDriverName until empty --normal reads put it after tUSBData wait 17 millisecs with messages if (the default of me = true) then exit to top end if end repeat -- more code to do stuff put tUSBData into field output This code, without the 'wait 17 millisecs with messages' will lock-up LiveCode and you need to Force Quit. Initially I started with figures in the 200-300 millisec range and placed the data straight into field output for viewing, and things worked OK, but not perfect. In a quest for speed I started playing with the wait time and placed the data into a variable 'tUSBData'. The following is for 69 pin read at 57600 baud: With LiveCode just sitting there doing nothing, Activity Monitor would report that it was using 18% cpu. Once I pressed my Button and started my LiveCode Script, with the wait time set at ANYTHING ABOVE 50ms the cpu would drop to 4% whilst the pins were static, ie no changes, I could leave them that way for minutes (too impatient to wait hours to see if it were different) and it would just sit there around 4%. As soon as I started changing the pin status, the cpu would rise to 6%. As soon as I stopped, it would go back down to 4%. Repeating the same experiment with wait 50ms, again, 18% cpu whilst I hadn't started my script, but as soon as I did it rose to 34% cpu and it didn't matter if the pins were static or being changed, the cpu sat at 34% cpu. Continuing the experiment I discovered that not much changed as you looked at waits down to around 25ms, but then below this things started to change again. Repeating the same experiment with wait 19ms, again 18% cpu whilst I hadn't started my script, but as soon as I did it dropped to 13% regardless of whether the pins were static or changing. Repeating the same experiment with wait 17ms, again 18% cpu, then when I started my script it dropped to 3% cpu with static pins, rose to 6% with changing status, and drop back to 3% as soon as they became static. Again it didn't matter how long they remained static, the cpu remained at 3%. Repeating the same experiment with wait 16ms, again 18% cpu before starting, then as soon as I started the cpu rose rapidly to 100%. It didn't matter if the pins were static or changing, the cpu would remain at 100%. Interestingly the cpu rose faster to 100% if the pins were static than if I were changing them. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE 'with messaged' in you wait command, if you get to this condition you will probably have to FORCE QUIT to get out of it. INTERESTINGLY these figures were basically identical regardless of whether I was reading 10 or 69 pins. Much the same regardless of 9600 or 57600 baud. See CPU Performance figures in Part 2 of my email. For reasons I couldn't fathom, for my 10 pin experiments some of my data was corrupted; not badly, just the data spread across two lines, or extra blank lines added. Logically it seemed that the longer the wait, the more correct the data. BUT, the data also IMPROVED by using 57600 baud rather than 9600. STRANGEST of all though, is that at 17ms, 57600 baud and 69 pins, the data came out perfect. Seems LiveCode prefers more data at a fast baud. See Data Output in Part 2 of my email. Please NOTE the importance of using millisec rather than ticks. 1 tick = 16. millisec. If I tried wait 1 tick I'd have the cpu hit 100%. If I tried 2 ticks (33ms) I'd be in the 34% region, which would be the same for 4 ticks (50ms), so I'd end up at 5 ticks, well above what is needed. Lastly I ASSUME, and it is a big ASSUMPTION, that if my repeat loop contained a whole bunch of extra lines of script, these would take up cycles, which would take up millisec which SHOULD therefore effect how long my waits are. What I KNOW is that LiveCode is VERY susceptible to TIMING issues when communicating with Arduino on OS X via USB. Your repeat loops MUST contain wait commands that INCLUDE 'with messages'. Use MILLISEC not ticks. (This does NOT apply to the odd wait command you may have in other areas of your script OUTSIDE the repeat loops monitoring serial comms). Finally, you MUST experiment with different wait values to find the best, and just because the numbers start heading in the

[ANN] 3D Carousel Menu for LiveCode
There is a new control for LiveCode. It is a commercial Carousel Menu with a 3D effect. As well as being fashionable, a carousel menu is easy to use (fun even?) and an excellent way to present multiple items to a user to allow selection and browsing. The RunRevPlanet Carousel 3D can show reflections, and have different rotation effects with smooth scrolling and a bounce animation for selected items. You can use it on the desktop (Linux, OS X, Windows) and on mobile platforms -- currently only iOS, but an Android version is in the works. You can try it out at: http://www.runrevplanet.com/ - -- Scott McDonald Components, Controls, Tools and Resources for LiveCode www.runrevplanet.com -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/ANN-3D-Carousel-Menu-for-LiveCode-tp3446273p3446273.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
