That sounds great, I'll grab a copy and have a look.


Semi-related question for the tests I've been running:
Using the application browser, I noticed that the pre-load into
memory property is automatically set for all images that I import
from a folder. Is there a way to avoid this if I wanted to import 100
or even 1000 images to the stack or would I have to manully unselect
the properties for each one?

Thanks to all,

ImageTransparency Demo
This demo has a Threshold slider for Image Transparency along with an 
eyedropper tool to select the color you want to make transparent.

It's amazingly fast, and includes many of the image libraries I often 
use. Jim Hurley asked for this feature.

Little combination problem

2005-05-07 Thread jbv
Hi list,

I'm facing a little combination problem in which I'm getting lost...

I have a string tof n letters (n can range from 2 to 20)
and I need to produce all possible combinations of n-1 to 2 letters.

for example :
string : ABCD

combinations to output :
ABC
ABD
ACD
BCD
AB
AC
AD
BC
BD
CD

I'm trying to do it with nested loops but don't get anywhere...

Any idea ?

Thanks,

It can be re-written to use loops instead of recursive calls - but it's

Help on usage of send or call

2005-05-07 Thread MisterX
I've been wondering about this one for ages. Maybe someone can answer...
 
if I have a statement in a card that sends resizestack to the stack script
or simply calls resizestack, it simply fails most of the time in an
execution error despite the fargin resizestack statement being where it
should be to be executed.
 
I tried now with 

call resizestack of stack Gim

and same thing as

send resizestack to [stack Gim | this stack]

Since stack GIM is in the frontscript and it's the same as mouseup, i tried
to experiment a bit and found out any message can't be sent just like
that...

Incidentally, if you replicate your resizestack message handler as a clone
doresizestack (or whatever), it sends, calls, and even executes without send
or call. So...

The fact i slept through geometry classes, got a's in each test may be a
factor you think?
 
The solution:
on resizeme
  mgmResizeStack
end resizeme
 
on resizestack
  mgmResizeStack
  pass resizestack
end resizeStack
 
on resizestack
  -- put the resizestack code here
end resizestack
 
Anyway, now you can call resizeMe from anywhere in RunRev with GIM present
and it will resize your stack automatically.
This is the equivalent to revUpdateGeometry. I also added a infiniteloop
avoider in case you call resizeme from a doresize script which is called by
the mgmResizeStack script in the stack being resized. Just in case!
 
The corresponding calls to revCacheGeometry are saveGeometry and
RestoreGeometry but they're no longuer useful in GIM's dynamic model unless
you have different arrangement styles that you want to record and restore
like panes, etc...
 
GIM 1.1 is out!

Chipp,
Astonishing! This is not only a valuable tool to provide to the Run 
Rev community, it is also a great tutorial. I think I may be able to 
figure out what a mask is.

Actually, I didn't ask for this threshold feature. I would never be 
so demanding. But I did something more compelling: I asked if it were 
possible. So, ask this list if it is possible, and you shall receive.

So, anybody know how to obtain an analytic solution to a coupled 
system of nonlinear integral-differential equations? (*Please*, just 
kidding.)

FIlter unicode variable with variable

2005-05-07 Thread Thomas McGrath III
 Help guys,
I still can't get my unicode to work. I am working with a mixed field 
of English/Asian items. I don't need to convert it since it looks right 
from the copy paste into REV. I just need to keep it as it is. But the 
message box shows it scrambled and when I try uniEncode it turns both 
the English and Asian into a 'new' converted style. I think I got the 
put the unicodetext of field gTheLanguage into lPreviewCategory -- 
correct But I can't be sure since I can't get the results out of the 
variable after filtering it. (This all works without unicode on the 
english side)

I need to filter it down using a variable. I think the message box does 
not show the right unicode and I don't know for sure if it is right

I guess the question/problem is 1) does the message box truly show 
unicode in a variable? 2) does the filter command work with unicode? 
3)if it does then do I need both the variable and the expression to be 
in unicode?

Tried this:
put uniencode(ltheKey)  * into theFkey -- set up a filter parameter
and this:
put ltheKey  * into theFkey --
put theFKey -- shows filekey* -- as it should
put lPreviewCategory -- shows item del field as it should in unicode 
from previous storage -- has filekey:item2:item3

filter lPreviewCategory with theFKey
put lPreviewCategory -- shows empty

So I place mouseEnter (to slide the button panel out) and mouseLeave  
(to slide it back in) handlers in the group's script.  Worked great  
until I placed my buttons in the group.  This is what happens now.  I  
move the cursor over the tab.  The group slides out fine.  But as I  
move up and down over my buttons, mouseEnter and mouseLeave messages  
get sent, including those to the background image, which triggers my  
moving action.  So if I mouseEnter one of my buttons, I mouseLeave my  
background image, which slides the group back.  That's not the  behavior 
I want.  As long as I'm within the group, I want it to be  slid out, 
even as I'm moving up and down over the buttons.
snip
P.S.  Here's my group's script:
on mouseEnter
if ButtonBar is in the name of the target then
move me to 580,241
end if
end mouseEnter
on mouseLeave
if ButtonBar is in the name of the target then
move me to 668,241
end if
end mouseLeave

Try changing your mouseleave condition:
  if the mousecontrol is empty or buttonBar is not in the long name 
of the mousecontrol then

That way, it should execute only when the mouse leaves the whole group 
area. You'll get an error if the mouse is over the card itself, which is 
why you have to check for empty too.

Re: FIlter unicode variable with variable

2005-05-07 Thread Dar Scott
On May 7, 2005, at 8:50 AM, Thomas McGrath III wrote:
I guess the question/problem is

1) does the message box truly show unicode in a variable?
No.  It effectively does 'put into', not 'set the uncodeText of'.
2) does the filter command work with unicode?
The short answer is No.
3)if it does then do I need both the variable and the expression to be 
in unicode?
You will always need both strings in your operations to be unicode.
This might work 90% of the time:  Make sure there is a unicode line end 
after both strings.  Then use replaceText to replace with empty.

Remember.  You have access to host UTF16 of field text and you can set 
it.  You can make conversions.  You can create unicode characters 
(UTF16 encodings) from codes and the inverse.  However, beyond that you 
have to consider your unicode data as simply a string of bytes, each 
pair representing a Unicode character.  (Unless you have surrogates, 
but that is unlikely.)  You are essentially processing raw binary data.

That means...
1.
You can't use = to test for equality of unicode strings.
That might work in some quick tests, but will fail in general.
Use length equality and contains.
2.
You usually can't use any of the text processing commands in Rev.
Build a loop for processing each character in a unicode string.
Use that template lots of places.
Use that to build your template for processing each line.
3.
Exploit setUseUnicode.
Use this with numToChar() to create special characters such as lf.
Use this with charToNum() to dump the encodings for debugging.
This takes into account the order of the two bytes for each computer.
4.
Conversion to anything except UTF8 can lose information.
5.
You don't have unicode characters or strings in Transcript,
only binary data that represents those.

revMail command missfires

2005-05-07 Thread betypaul
Hi Helpers
I am using the command revMail with  my Mac Mail   ( OS 10.4)  
and instead of Mail opening with the address, subject, and body as it  
should,  Safari opens with all the stuff  in the address line.

Under revMail in our dictionary it states
 On Mac OS systems, the mail message is opened in the application  
the user has set for the mailto:; protocol in the Internet control  
panel.
this I cannot find

I think AppleScript is enabled.
could it be another case of our incompatibility with AppleScript in  
Tiger?

anyone had this one and solved it?

Re: New Image Transparency Demo with Threshold feature..

Chipp Walters wrote:
This demo has a Threshold slider for Image Transparency along with an 
eyedropper tool to select the color you want to make transparent.
Very Nice.  Choosing a threshold level is a pretty cool feature.  The 
more tools like this developed will help further the way to decent image 
manipulation in Revolution.  Good Work!

It's amazingly fast, and includes many of the image libraries I often 
use. Jim Hurley asked for this feature.
Your script, like the altConvolve script, is just fine for small images. 
 But as soon as you apply it to a real world image, like one from a 
digital camera...well, most people would think that it crashed instead 
of waiting 30 seconds for it to process.

I really wish Revolution could process these repeat loops faster.  Even 
with the screen locked one would say Why even this long?.  It just 
seems that the longer the loop, the slower it goes.

I'd say if you could make this script into an external, as well as the 
convolve script with the bug fix I emailed you about (and got no 
response, BTW), then this stack would show a lot of promise in real 
world applications.

Hello,
I use Tiger as well and just looked at what you pointed out, but  
everything seems to work as it should.

Have you set your e-mail app to be Mail. You'll find the setting is  
Mail's preferences. There isn't anything to be set in Internet  
control panel (since Mac OS X some of those settings have been moved  
into the apps themselves, and I don't think it's a good idea).

you can get the server stack by typing this into your message box:
go stack url http://homepage.mac.com/bvg/chatrevserver1.3.rev;
everyone is free to use both server and client as they wish, but i 
guarantee nothing. In fact i know of two developers who have integrated

Nope - could you send the code (the entire handler) in which you're 
trying to use them, and we should be able to tell from that what's going 
wrong.

Re: Documentation Errors [Was: naming variables...]

2005-05-07 Thread Dennis Brown
On May 6, 2005, at 11:44 AM, Richard Gaskin wrote:
Dennis Brown wrote:
This brings up a good point that has been bugging me for years.   
It  is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS that the Rev documentation built in  
to the  IDE is so full of errors.  How many repeat questions and  
confusion by  folks trying to learn Rev are the result of wrong or  
missing  documentation.

I hear you loud and clear.  Back when I was learning C, starting  
with externals using Gary Bonds' X-Command book seemed like a  
good start. I found myself spending a lot of time double-checking  
everything and rarely got anything to actually run.  That was one  
of several experiences that made me appreciate xTalk, but a couple  
years ago I was telling that story to a good friend who's an expert  
in C on Mac (he's been known to make Apple engineers ask How'd you  
do that?) and he told me it was too bad I let it discourage me as  
the problem wasn't me at all -- he reports that most of the C  
examples in that book simply don't work.  :(

Missing stuff take time to address.  I've not seen a product yet  
where people didn't complain about the docs every day until a  
variety of third-party books became available.  Don't know why that  
is, just reporting what I've seen.  It seems the only remedy is to  
track what's reported as missing and add it as soon after as possible.
This mail list is addressing missing stuff every day.  Unfortunately,  
in a couple of weeks I have seen the same stuff rehashed already.   
That must be because it is not obvious to the newbe how to find the  
info he needs.  Being able to capture the valuable info on this list,  
without having to go through the painful task of searching for a term  
and wading through all the discussion to find the nugget in the  
archives would be ideal.  It has the making of a great tutor.

But errata should of course always be a high priority.  Which  
erroneous entries have you found, and what are there Bugzilla IDs  
so we can draw attention to them?
#2778 #2753 are the ones I entered.  However, I found so many minor  
issues with the docs that I just gave up on trying to report them.   
Seeing the priority given to these issues, and the amount of time I  
would invest in documenting the errors, it just did not seem to be a  
productive use of my time.  With the web notes, I will reconsider.   
It would be nice to be able to ask a question about the missing or  
wrong info in the web notes, and have someone respond right in the  
note with the corrected or expanded info.  I was encouraged by  
Kevin's chat today when he mentioned addressing the BZ issues and  
response delays.

I believe Monte does a fair job of reviewing BZ for errata reports,  
and has a track record of addressing them promptly. Getting them  
into your hands is a different matter (what should Check for  
updates... do?), but at least Monte does his part in a very timely  
manner.


However, if RunRev would empower us, we could do great stuff  
about  the docs.  Just from being on this list for a few weeks, I  
can see  the quality of the user community and know that it could  
work -- especially if it were sponsored and monitored by RunRev.
Go ahead, make my day... tell me it is already in the works  ;-)

Would already in place be better?  See the WebNotes feature.   
It's not my favorite implementation of the idea, but it's a good  
start toward a mechanism for community-ehnanced docs.
I did not realize that notes I put there would be visible by  
everyone.  Ok I just put in the note on the numbered variables.   
However, I would have preferred to have it done in such a way that  
others would look at what I added and make sure my fix is right  
before someone else is led astray.  Does anyone get notified when a  
note goes in, to check that it is not spam or worse.  Because this  
doc issue has come up before, why did nobody else put a note in?   
Isn't anyone using this feature? A search on web notes in the ref  
doc did not produce any hits.  This feature could be made to work  
with a few tweaks --like update and downloading notes to local, or a  
flag that says a note is available for this topic.  How about new  
topics that can be added to the doc also.  This could work much  
better than BZ for noting the errors, adding missing content and  
examples --if it were made into the standard method for addressing  
these issues by RunRev.

A couple comments...
A multiple line response does break out of the usual expectation for 
this kind of dialog.  Or do you want wider?

I acknowledge that you know you can hack one, but maybe instead of 
thinking a quick fix, you might want to consider what your signature 
dialog boxes should look like and fully embrace the idea and set aside 
some time to make those.

If you mean for the question--it currently wraps and generates the size 
needed.
