Player Bug?

[Scott Rossi]

Howdy List:

I'm running into an odd player behavior where setting a player to a filename
that contains an open parenthesis "(" prevents Rev 2.5 from opening/playing
the file.  Interestingly, a close parenthesis ")" in the filename does not
cause a problem.  Can anyone else verify this as a bug?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Paul,

How exactly are you updating the image control ?
The automated query system uses something similar to :
   set the text of image theImage to theImageData

Another important question is : in what format is the
data stored in the image ? Base64 ? Binary ?

Bonjour Jérôme,

What does the function 'revNumberOfRecords' return for
that result set ? And is this still on MySQL ?

Re: Standalone with Externals crashing

[Derek Bump]

Alright, I downloaded and installed Revolution 2.2.1 and I am experiencing the same 
crashes when I try to execute the EnhancedQT and setDesktop external from within the 
standalone.  It works fine in the IDE.

One thing that has changed is that when I include the Error Reporting module in my 
standalone, I don't get the quick flash of a script error, and the error box doesn't 
appear.  So I think that issue is a bug in Revolution 2.5.

So I guess the question at hand now is, unless anyone else has any ideas on why this 
is not working, does it happen on anyone elses computer?

I launch the program and execute a handler that runs the EnhancedQT external.  Crash. 
I re-launch the program and execute the a handler that runs the setDesktop external.  
Crash again.

I am going to download 2.2 and see if the same thing happens.  I just hope I can find

How works revCurrentRecordIsLast/revCurrentRecordIsFirst

[Jérôme Rosat]

Bonjour tout le monde,
In Dreamcard documentation, for the revCurrentRecordIsLast function, 
it's written that "Returns whether the current record is the last 
record in a record set (database cursor)."

In my recordset with 3 records, when the cursor is on the first record, 
revCurrentRecordIsLast return false. It's Ok for me.
After moving the cursor with revMoveToNextRecord to the second record, 
revCurrentRecordIsLast return false. It's still OK for me.
If I move the cursor to the third and last record, 
revCurrentRecordIsLast still return false. With the upper definition, 
the result should be true. The third record is the last one.
But revCurrentRecordIsLast return true only if I use 
revMoveToNextRecord once again. In short, revCurrentRecordIsLast return 
true when revMoveToNextRecord return an error. And it is the same for 
revCurrentRecordIsFirst.

Is it a bug or I'm stupid ?

Bonjour Jérôme,
As I don't recall seeing a reply to this on the list,
I thought I'd give you some advice (better late than
never, right ?)
Text field images are either stored in the stack and
refered to by their ID or name, or are external to
your stack and refered to by a URL (http or file)
So if the data is stored in a MySQL database, you'll
have to take two steps to accomplish your goals :
1) get the image data from the database and
temporarily store them inside an image control (this
control can be offscreen, or hidden)
2) then set the imagesource of a chunk of your field
to the ID of the image :
  set the imageSource of char 1 of line 2 of \
  field "Foobar" to "myImageName"
Hope this helped,
Jan Schenkel.

You *can* rotate an Image, correct?
So why not take a snapshot of the horizontal field, place the snapshot 
in an image, and rotate that?

Re: OT Yet another installer question

[Frank Engel]

You'll need Windoze to build this one, too, but there is also a (very 
powerful) free Windows installer utility called Inno Setup available 
somewhere on the web...  hold on a second while I find the URL...

http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
Note that if you want to try this I strongly recommend the ISTool 
program, linked to from that site.  It makes life much easier.

Inno Setup will automagically create the Add/Remove Programs entry when 
you use an installer that it builds.

It also provides an uninstaller without any additional work, and you 
can set it up to create a Start menu entry (the "Icons" section of 
ISTool).

For MacOS X installers, try Iceberg:

The program is not crashing at startup.  The only time it crashes is when I execute 
one of the external's functions.  I am however getting the following error at start 
when I include the Script Error Reporter in the Standalone.

Executing at 2:58:29 PM
Type 
Object card id 1002
Line put "Object" & tab & the short name of tObject & cr after tErrorString
Hint preOpenCard

I have no idea where this error is coming from, but I do know for sure that my stack 
does not have any "preOpenCard" handlers in it.  RunRev Support said maybe it's 
something in the libraries that I've included so I tested my stack with no stack 
libraries, and it still show's the error.

in my stack's folder as well.  I added them to the stack's External References so they

Re: compress/decompress on OS X

My solution (from Serendipity Library & called by SDB Utilities and

In minimizing the Libray handlers for my second post, I found these 
errors in the original logic:

on SDBCompressFile -- 3 Mar 04:RCC
[snip]
put compressedData into URL compressedFile
set the fileType to savedFileType -- Replaces the result of "put"
if the result is not empty then  -- Refers to result of "set"

end SDBCompressFile
on SDBExpandFile -- 3 Mar 04:RCC
[snip]
 put item 2 of recordFooter into dataForkBytes
 put item 3 of recordFooter into resourceForkBytes -- This 
statement missing
[snip]
if resourceForkBytes <> 0 then -- resourceForkBytes never initialized
[snip]
put the fileType into savedType -- Should be savedFileType
[snip]
set the fileType to savedFileType -- savedFileType never initialized
[snip]
end SDBExpandFile

The Library scripts have been corrected, and an updated copy of the 
Library is available at 
.

I have also added downloader links to SDB_Tools & Serendipity_Library 
in Revolution stack format.  These two files are all that you need if 
you're only interested in compression/decompression--or you're 
working on a Windows platform and don't want to wait for me to get 
around to publishing a file bundle for Windows...

but you really should look at the documentation and sample stacks, 
sez I.   :{`)

I am new to Revolution and attempting to read jpeg images from a MySQL 4.1 database.  
I have successfully used Jan Schenkel's excellent example using the query builder and 
I am able to step sequentially though the images. I need to access the records in a 
non-sequential fashion.  No problem with the text of the records, just the images.   I 
can query MySQL and retrieve the data directly, but I can not get the image to 
display. My target image is set to the same size as the original and I prepend the *b 
to the variable name when querying the blob.   Any ideas or suggestions would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

-Paul

Bonjour Jérôme,

As I don't recall seeing a reply to this on the list,
I thought I'd give you some advice (better late than
never, right ?)

Text field images are either stored in the stack and
refered to by their ID or name, or are external to
your stack and refered to by a URL (http or file)

So if the data is stored in a MySQL database, you'll
have to take two steps to accomplish your goals :

1) get the image data from the database and
temporarily store them inside an image control (this
control can be offscreen, or hidden)

2) then set the imagesource of a chunk of your field
to the ID of the image :
  set the imageSource of char 1 of line 2 of \
  field "Foobar" to "myImageName"

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.

Hi Tim,

You could use the 'formattedWidth' function to figure
out how wide a certain chunk of text in a field is,
and then shorten the last 4 chars with "..." until it
fits in the width as set in the tabStops.
Quite a bit of work, but it can be done -- hope this
gets you started,

Jan Schenkel.

Re: problems running Rev standalones under Panther with limited user accounts

[Frank Engel]

You could try using the Finder's Get Info window to set the 
permissions so that anyone can write, but I have found this unreliable 
and prefer to use the Terminal. Open the Terminal, cd to the folder 
containing your app and then use the following command:
	chmod -R 777 YourAppName.app/

This will make every file in your application bundle readable & 
writable by everyone. You may prefer to make sure the limited user is 
in the same group as the owner and change the permissions to 775 
instead.

A *very* bad idea for security reasons.  If anyone can write to the 
app, they could replace it with an arbitrary program, including one 
which could damage the system (delete files, etc.), while leaving the 
icon, etc. intact.  Some unsuspecting user with more privileges than 
them could then run the program, which has been replaced with nasty 
code, damaging the system, their files, etc.

Another issue here is that being able to write to the apps means 
allowing some as-yet-unwritten virus to infect them.  If a user can't 
write to them. then neither can a virus running under their account...

In a slightly less hostile sense, being able to write to the app means 
being able to ruin it unintentionally as well.

tablefield and standalone app issues

[Revinfo1155]

Thanks to all who gave info on table fields. The design came out well  but 
I'm still experiencing trouble with the function of the tablefield  stack. When 
I build a standalone to run my tablefield stack, I chose the  table option to 
add that feature to the standalone. Was that the thing to do?  Although I did 
that, as I tabbed thru the tablefield, the cells seems to get a  bit confused 
and then the stack and the standalone went all white and froze. My  first 
inclination was a memory allocation problem (not enough memory). I went  back to 
the standalone builder and couldn't find a way to allocate more memory.  
Couldn't we do that in an earlier version? Any help with these issues is  
appreciated as I'm new to tablefield behaviour.

Re: Wacky Submenu Problem under OS X

[Frank Engel]

Yep, that works!
I hadn't even thought to try that.  The problem with the mnemonics 
seems to be with Menu Builder BTW, and I have already bugzilla'd that.  
I suspect it is a separate issue.

I have also bugzilla'd the menu issue, so I will tack this info onto 
the report; also, the mnemonics only need to be removed from the items 
in the submenu to make it work correctly.  Interesting.

Thank you!

Hi Frank,
i set up a copy of your menu but had great trouble allocating the 
mnemonics. I would enter a menu item like "5162", click the mnemonic 
checkbox and select "2" from the popup at which point the item would 
show up as "51&62". This happened with all except the first entry in 
the submenu, so when I got the same sort of result you did (although 
my submenu started with 5160), I wondered was it the mnemonics that 
were causing the problem. In the Message Box, I typed:
	replace "&" with "" in button "File"
and all the submenus came good - with or without the "Print Labels" 
menu item.

I guess these mnemonics are a Windows feature that doesn't translate 
properly to the Mac, but I reckon you should bugzilla it anyway,

Cheers,
Sarah

The "5267" menu is as before (the separator line and Quick Reference)

expected).

Enabling the "Print Name Tags" option makes no difference.

Frank,
I think this may be due to the way that Rev tries to make OS X menus 
by moving certain items around. In your case, it should only move 
the Quit and delete the line before it, but it may be that having 
what becomes the last line, then starting with a tab, is causing 
some confusion. Just for testing purposes, what happens if you put 
in another menu item (not starting with tab) after "Quick 
Reference".

Cheers,
Sarah

RE: geometry manager

2.1 has a few GM bugs...
Not that 2.5 isnt bug free but it is (ahem) better behaved.

My guess is that an old position got stuck or didn't get updated
because some event blocked the update. This can happen when you
have a pending error, self-resizing stack or a resizestack handler that
doesn't pass resizestack or send revUpdateGeometry back.

Try to send a revUpdateGeometry to your stack to see if it gets fixed.
If not, clear the revgeomtry settings for your control, and then
reassign the GM rules. This usually fixes the problem...

In some cases, you can put an empty resizestack handler to block the
GeomtryManager, resize your stack/controls and then remove the blocking
handler. Doesn't always work though but it's one way to fix it.

Hope that helps ya

select a line in the script editor...

[thierry]

Hi,

 having no chance with one of my last question,
 try again differently...

 in a script, during development time, i have a function
 EditScriptAndGoToLine( theObject, theLineNumber )

 with theObject which contains some reference to any object
 ( ie: stack "" ), i do : edit script of theObject.
 this works fine and the script editor window appears.

 but then i would like to go to  a specific line in the script : thelineNumber

 and we can have few scripts' editor windows open.

 How can i know the reference to the last script editor window being open ?

 any clue ?
