Re: recursion limits
Chris Sheffield wrote: I know recursion has been discussed in the past, and I'm wondering if anyone has ever run into any limits (i.e. memory problems) with recursion in Rev. I am working on a little backup utility for my own use, and I'm wondering what would happen if I decided to back up my entire hard drive? Would Rev choke on that? I realize it could potentially take hours. Would I start getting out of memory errors? The utility uses a directory walking function to create a list of all sub folders and files to be backed up. Anyone have some detailed results with this type of thing? I doubt that you'd run into recursion limits walking a disk (unless you have exceptionally large disks, or deeply nested directories) - but it's better to to avoid the possibility than to get a nasty surprise 3 hours into a backup Two suggestions. 1. Two phases. Generate a complete list of files *first*, then operate on them. This has two advantages; the resources for recursion aren't needed at the same time as the resources for the real work, and more importantly - if there are problems with limits, you find out in the first few minutes, before you have wasted much time. A directory walk simply storing file names runs at about 2000 files per second (on my slow laptop) up to about 7000 per second on a moderate desktop. (Obviously very dependent on the directory structure). 2. Iterate instead of recurse. Change your recursive call to a send ... to me in 0 secs, and check the pendingmessages to tell when to exit (by send to another). Watch out for the need to quote directory names (I have directory names containing comma that confused my first attempt to do this). This has no worries about limits on recursion. (Are there limits on the number of pending messages ? Or performance issues with (tens of) thousands of pending messages ? Hm). This ran slower half the speed of the simple recursive method for me. Could probably be optimized if needed. Personally I'd just do the first of these - but the second one was an interesting exercise . -- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

copy group to substack?
I'm really baffled. Following suggestions on list, I'm handling the transfer of data to a dialog substack by copying a group. The group contains an image and a lot of little fields. The substack has two cards. I do the copy command in a button handler in a card in the main stack. The groups are kept (invisibly) on the same card, and each button press selects one for copying to the substack. The copied group needs to show up in both cards (each card) in the substack. I'm getting every kind of confusion. I've tried copying to the substack itself. But its accessibility within each of the two cards in the stack seems haphazard (sometimes different groups show up on the two cards! so I'm doing _something_ wrong in the copy). I've tried copying the group to the first card in the substack, but I'm having trouble getting a copy to the second card that I then need to do can't find it. In other words, I'm not understanding how this works. Is it groups I don't understand (their relation to a _stack_ or a _card in the stack_ -- these groups are _not_ marked with a background property, by the way, either in the main stack or in the substack)? Or is it copy? I rename it right after copying the group to the substack (this is how I keep from needing to specify which main-stack group I'm working with while I'm in the substack); is that getting me in trouble? I've been over the docs several (many) times, and can't find out where the gap in my conception is. I hope this makes enough sense to be answerable -- it doesn't make much sense to me any more.

Re: article on osnews about RB...
Coincidentally (I don't believe in coincidence), a client of mine hired me a few days ago to do an analysis of the new RB with an eye to helping him figure out if he should either switch from Rev (which he's using at my behest for over a year and loving) to RB for a new set of projects for HIS clients, add it to his arsenal, or pass on it. My study will, of course, be his property since he's paying for it. But he's given me permission to extract from it a white paper for the communities (RB and RR) that eliminates all mention of his company, its product plans, and anything else he considers confidential. I hope to post that in the next week or so on my Revolution site and perhaps elsewhere. I *can* say at this point that the IDE in RB2005 is very, very nice. Polished, smooth, fluid, intuitive, and all in one window (a la Jerry Daniels' new Constellation IDE for Rev, which I think is nearing release). No screen clutter.

Re: article on osnews about RB...
My guess is that it's greater than a 10:1 ratio. More like 20 or 30 times. But RB's been at it a lot longer and has the advantage of promoting a language seen as mainstream. The size of installed base affects book publishers but magazines typically publish reviews and articles about even sort of backwater products. Rev has actually had several published; I know because I've written a few for them.

design of radio-button choice
I've got a complicated dialog (too complicated! but it will look simple to the user I think), and I can't figure out how best to design it to deal with the messaging system. This card in the dialog has a column of half a dozen check-boxes, and a column of a dozen or so radio buttons in a group. The user will click a check box (probably all of them all in turn, but in any order). Each time one is checked, I clear the hilite from the grouop of radio buttons, and the user picks one of them. (There's a right radio-button answer for each check-box; it's a tutorial.) So I want is that when the user clicks a check-box, I wait until the user picks one of the radio buttons (or maybe until the user picks the correct one -- that's a detail I can decide later on UI grounds). What's the best way to do this? The wait command? If so, I assume I'd put it in the handler for each check-box, and I guess I'd have to make the radio-button group emit a custom message when a button (or the right button) is pressed. Is that right, or even close to right? Thanks as always for any help.

Re: cannot import a MS word file into field
YOu can't do this directly into a field. For one thing, Revolution knows very little of styled text fields, so it is essentially impossible simply to put Word content into a Rev field.

Re: design of radio-button choice
Charles Hartman wrote: I've got a complicated dialog (too complicated! but it will look simple to the user I think), and I can't figure out how best to design it to deal with the messaging system. This card in the dialog has a column of half a dozen check-boxes, and a column of a dozen or so radio buttons in a group. The user will click a check box (probably all of them all in turn, but in any order). Each time one is checked, I clear the hilite from the grouop of radio buttons, and the user picks one of them. (There's a right radio-button answer for each check-box; it's a tutorial.) So I want is that when the user clicks a check-box, I wait until the user picks one of the radio buttons (or maybe until the user picks the correct one -- that's a detail I can decide later on UI grounds). What's the best way to do this? The wait command? If so, I assume I'd put it in the handler for each check-box, and I guess I'd have to make the radio-button group emit a custom message when a button (or the right button) is pressed. Is that right, or even close to right? I think when you say I wait until the user picks ... what you mean is I don't respond to any further clicks on the check boxes until If so, then you don't need to do a wait command in a script - simply keep track of what your status is (maybe in a global, maybe in a custom property, maybelots of other ways). Also, consider putting the check-boxes into a group, and having a single handler for the group -- group handler for all the check-boxes on mouseUp if gWaitingForRadioButtonChoice then pass mouseUp end if -- no longer waiting - so we should respond to any clicks put the target into lBoxClicked switch lBoxClicked case Box1 -- set up the radio button labels, etc. put true into gWaitingForRadioButtonChoice case Box2 end switch endmouseUp and then in the radio button script, -- handler for radio buttons on mouseUp -- if this is an answer (or if correct ??) put false into gWaitingForRadioButtonChoice etc. end mouseUp (where gWaitingForRadioButtonChoice is, obviously, a global) -- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

If the app is not passworded, you can read all the scripts in a text editor. If it is, then you can't. If someone decompiles the app back to a stack and it is passworded, the scripts are still protected. That said, I wrote my own decompiler about 5 years ago. I kept the information strictly to myself. It was necessary because a client had 18 apps for me to work on, which they owned, but had lost the source stacks. I had to decompile. I suspect other people may have written their own too in the past, but we all kept the information private. When someone released the script to the public I was very disappointed.

Profiles help
I have this group consisting of 3 items: a round rect, a freehand poly (together they make a balloon), and a text label. I have 2 profiles: LevelA and LevelB On the group, the profiles change the rect of the group (i.e. move the bubble and enclosed caption). The label field also has 2 profiles, LevelA and LevelB. This changes the Content of the label (i.e., htmlText). When I switch between the two profiles, the profiles on the field all of a sudden gain a rect property and the text moves farther and father outside of the balloon with each switch. I delete the rect property from each profile of the field and from the master and it keeps appearing. The end result is (with the results simulate din text to the right: revSetStackProfile LevelA =( tex)t revSetStackProfile LevelB = te(st ) revSetStackProfile LevelA =( t)ext revSetStackProfile LevelB = tes(t) revSetStackProfile LevelA = ( ) text I have another, identical group that doesn't behave this way.

The GENIUS of stacks
Dan contacted me a couple of days ago for my thoughts on Rev vs RB. Of course, I'm a big Rev fan and have only spent a bit of time with RB, but here are some observations. I talked with my partner, Chris Bohnert about this. He's a very strong C programmer (wrote both altBrowsers for Mac and PC) who also works with VB a lot-- and frequently peruses the RB list. I've dragged him kicking and screaming into Rev development, and while his interfaces are nothing Scott Rossi would be proud of, he's been able to build some very complicated Linux utilties for (now happy) clients. Here's one thing that differentiates Rev from other standard programming languages: 1) Rev has stacks. This often overlooked and misunderstood concept is pure genius from it's creators. 2) Building a self-updating application is trivial in Rev. Not so in other development tools. Because Rev can download and run a stack IN PROCESS, it makes it simple to check for an update and download it: pseudocode: launch splashscreen app check for version - (ONE LINE OF CODE!) if URL http://www.chipp.com/myversion.txt; is not equal to fld version of stack C:/mainstack.rev then go stack URL http://www.chipp.com/mainstack.rev; to do the same in RB or others, you'd have to: pseudocode: launch checker app open sockets, setup data transfer, get data, parse data, check data against a stored registry setting or preferences setting then if different: download the new executable main application (because they can't load code IN PROCESS) launch the main application close the checker app This is much more difficult and has the added disadvantage of launching/ maintaing 2 applications and the associated download overhead of the 'engine' (which does not need to be downloaded in the Rev example). 3) Maintaining source is much easier as you only have a single binary stack to ever worry about. In the example above, the binary main stack is completely cross-platform (Mac/Win/Linux) and is the only source code necessary for the application. So, there's no need to save/compile different version for Windows and Macs. A huge time-saver! 3) Stacks are not only good for cross-platform application development, but they're also unsurpassed as a binary file structure. For instance, say you want to save an Image, Audio file, bunch of text, and a video (think Premiere project). How easy is this in Rev? Just create a new stack, put the files in it, and save it. That's it. create new stack multimediaFiles create new img fred put URL binfile:C:/title.jpg into img fred create new fld theText put URL file:C:/test.txt into fld theText import videoClip from file C:/test/video.mov import audioClip from file C:/text/audio.wav save stack multimediaFiles as C:/test.rev Try doing that in as few lines in ANY other authoring package! I find I regularly use stacks as GREAT cross-platform binary document storage. Not only are they great for storing data (as shown), they can also store any Rev object (including groups!) as well. Here's a great use of this feature (I'm using it now). I've got this rather complex image editor I'm working on. Think Photoshop. I want to support multiple undo's but it's a real pain. Here's how I do it. I have a group Canvas which has all the layers of images and text in it. Any time I make a change to grp Canvas, I save a copy of the group into stack undo. Now, I can easily 'undo' as many steps as I need by just copying the appropriate grp from the undo stack! Simple :-) Also, stacks are great for storing other things. For instance, say your application has a PDF help document associated with it. And say you want to deploy a single 'no installer' executable. If you're on Windows and want a single executable, it may be stored anywhere on a user's hard disk, how will the app know how to get and where to find the PDF doucment? Easy, just 'suck it up' into a custom property! Then 'spit it out' when the user needs it. So, during development you would: set the uMyHelpPDF of stack myApp to URL binfile:C:/help.pdf now, it's stored 'in the stack'. So, the next time the user presses the help button, it checks to see if the help.pdf file is in the same folder as the application: if there is a file help.pdf then -- LAUNCH IT else -- SPIT IT OUT put the uMyHelpPDF of this stack into URL binfile:help.pdf -- NOW LAUNCH IT end if Once again, just too easy! Well, there are quite a number of other differentiating features I could mention (especially string 'chunking') but hopefully the above helps some of you to think about stacks in a different way! Perhaps some others would like to chime in about the differences they see. :-) Chipp ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I wrote (as did others) and use a recursive directory walker and have found no problems on whole disks of applications and data numbering at least a hundred thousand files. However, there is a gotcha in OS X and also with permissions on any platform, either of which can relegate you to an infinite loop. This may account for some of the bad experiences implied by other people.

Re: design of radio-button choice
Thanks -- and to Alex, too -- I hadn't thought of grouping the check- boxes. I'm first going to try a simpler more permissive approach and see how the user-experience feels, but if that's not satisfactory I'll do the second group. But either way, there's something I still don't quite understand about the messaging. I know how to find out which of a group of radio buttons has been pressed -- but I'm not quite clear how to know when one (any) has been pressed, that is, when to check the result. Do I just use a mouseUp handler attached to the group (of radio buttons)? That looks promising and I'll try it. However: If the check-boxes are also in a group, presumably I should manage them from a script attached to their group, too. In a mouseUp handler? But their radioBehavior will be false (more than one can be hilited, no auto-de-hiliting), so hilitedButton won't work. How do I tell, in that mouseUp handler, which one was pressed? Is there a tutorial on this stuff? I haven't seen one but I may be looking in the wrong place. I know it's pretty basic, but I'm confused. Thanks again for the patience advice.

However: If the check-boxes are also in a group, presumably I should manage them from a script attached to their group, too. In a mouseUp handler? But their radioBehavior will be false (more than one can be hilited, no auto-de-hiliting), so hilitedButton won't work. How do I tell, in that mouseUp handler, which one was pressed? Is there a tutorial on this stuff? I haven't seen one but I may be looking in the wrong place. I know it's pretty basic, but I'm confused. Thanks again for the patience advice.

Or do you literally mean you want to force a delay of some sort? Assuming the former, one easy way to do this would be to put the checkboxes in a group and the radio buttons in a group and then when the user checks a checkbox, disable the checkbox group until he clicks a radio button. Then in the radio button group, re- enable the checkbox group. Close?

Re: The GENIUS of stacks
Chipp, Thanks for this elucidation. I'm quite certain that I didn't understand it all, but will be delighted to point these things out next time I have a captive geek audience @;-) One thing that did confuse me (perhaps signifying my ignorance), is whether point (1) was supposed to be self-explanatory or whether (2) (3) flowed from (1)?

Re: design of radio-button choice
Charles, Just a guess, but did you look at the Target? That way you could put a mouseUp handler in the group and use either and if-then or a menuPick conditional structure in conjunction with the Target, e.g., pseudocode: on mouseUp -- at the group level if the Target is whatever ... end mouseUp Will this do?

Locking messages with palettes
In TAOO every message is intercepted just in case it may help... Im working on my new script editor plugin and the launcher bar then creates a new instance of the script editor window and palettizes it. Only TAOO was detecting as an object class object (because they share common elements). So i tried to lock messages (set the lockmessages to true) before i do palette script editor x But the TAOO interception still occured. So i found that if i Open the stack there's no problem, the lock messages is fine. But if i Palette the stack, the lock messages has no effect... Can anyone confirm this? cheers Xavier ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
