Re: Menu parser
Does anyone have a function that parses out only the active menuitems from a menuList? Try this : put the text of btn "Foo" into tMenuText -- strip off the elading tabs for submenus replace tab with empty in tMenuText -- now filter out the divider lines repeat for each line tMenuLine in tMenuText if tMenuLine is not among the items of "-,(-" then put tMenuLine return after tStrippedList end repeat -- finally clean up the trailing return delete char -1 of tStrippedList Then the variable tStrippedList should contain what you want. I was looking for a way to "filter" instead of the "repeat" loop but didn't find one right away. Not exactly, Jan. This retains the non-selectable lines of a menu which need to be stripped. I'm having a re-think here. /H

Re: JDBC instead of ODBC
Le dim 05/10/2003 18:56, Jlio Csar Kdel a crit : The problem is (for Firebird): Firebird is, in my opinion, the best database engine, after Microsoft SQL and MySQL. I would for my own say : before them and many others alike, Sybase ASE 12.5 or IBM DB2, and along the other best ACID compliant SQL server available for free : the usefull and unbreakable PostgreSQL... BUT, there only source code for direct access in Linux and Windows (nobody likes mac =( ). Even if ODBC would be a TRUE reality on all plataforms, we'd need a ODBC driver for Firebird, wich exists only for Windows (there is plans for a Linux one, but it's not available yet). For Macintosh, Firebird is nothing. (Those who program in Windows environment know what is Borland and Interbase, are strong names on our plataform, and Firebird is the continuation, the evolution, of Interbase). So, we need not only ODBC, but the drivers for ODBC also (that's why I insist that would be A LOT simple, faster, clean and easier, to make a native driver for Firebird/Interbase). After MySQL, Valentine, PostgreSQL and Firebird, what more could we want??? Access and MSSQL Server?

It's just a cosmetic trick to bring more hapiness to the user, just this ;-) (Besides: someone here knows of a Media Player that works in a default window, with default buttons and all those gray stuffs? No. Almost all media players are skinned to have a better appearence. Sometimes it's good to change the user experience within your application).

Many of us have been frustrated by the focus on OS X look and feel while a far more popular OS is 2 years out of date. I'm reasonably sure that XP theme support is just around the corner.

revCopyFile broken on OS X?
We are experiencing some corruption on files worked directly over the LAN on our OS X server (InDesign) and Adobe's recommendation is to always copy the files to the local hard drive and then work on the local file, then put it back. It works, suddenty ID2 file corruption is gone... that's the good news. But, this creates challenges for a collaborative work group with many editors and writers... so, I am trying to create a drag and drop RCS (Revision Control System), which copies files to the local hard drive, increments a galley number in the file name, moves old galleys on the server to a back up folder etc... all very easy thanks to Rev... in fact we have a number of other applications running in Rev that we use every day that perform all these same operations in one for or another, but they are all raw ascii, xml, html files this is different... the problem is revCopyFile is not behaving as documented on OS X... purportedly it should: ... the revCopyFile command provides certain advantages. It copies file attributes (such as file type) and Mac OS resource forks along with the file. It also does not require reading the entire file into memory, so even extremely large files can be copied. But, we are not seeing this. An InDesign file (or any file for that matter) copied from the server which has a visible ID2 icon in the finder, using: revCopyFile (gRemotePath gRemoteFile),fld localfolder arrives on the local hard drive as nondescript, no icon and no application binding... looks like the resource fork is not making it across the copy... An attempt to boot the file by double-clicking in the finder invokes the OS user input dialog,: There is no specified application to open document whatever document.ind [btns:] Choose Application OK Presumably, since revCopyfile invokes onboard Applescript in the background, one might assume its not Rev's fault but AppleScript's fault.. but before digging into this any further I thought I might just ask here... This is pretty much a show stopper for the little RCS widget I am trying to create, which otherwise took about 30 minutes to put together and will be a dream machine for the team. Retaining the application binding is mandatory and adding the .ind extension doesn't help... Any thoughts? (including any thoughts on RCS if you have already been there, done that.)
