Weird image problems with large images on Windows
I've built a new version of my photo app on Windows, and I'm having a very strange problem resizing large images, and want to see if anyone else has seen this. Machine: Windows 2000. Photo size: 1536 x 2048. Resizing the photo to 110 x 110 max. Problem: I can set the fileName of an image to this photo file, but it won't resize properly, and calling export as jpeg on the image throws an error. BUT, if I login to the same machine via Terminal services, using the SAME account, and the SAME .exe file, and the SAME photo -- the app runs flawlessly. Has anyone else seen this? (oh yes, Rev 2.2) Regards, -- Frank Leahy ___ 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
Re: Copy image content for object image empty.
Hi Gilberto Cuba. Hello colleagues, I am trying to copy an image that is in a stack for an object image empty, but it doesn't work; that makes it is to copy a dirty image for the object image. Script in the object image Visor on mouseUp put the imagedata of image img01 of this stack into tImageData put the tImageData into the imagedata of image Visor end mouseUp I'm tried too with the property paintcompression, but not work, i.e., i'm tried to put the paintcompression into object image Visor. Some idea of as making it would be welcome. you can simply put one image into another one :-) But this only works with imported images, NOT with referenced images! on mouseUp put image img01 into image Visor ##of cd 17 of stack another cool stack end mouseUp This is a little less scripting and you do not have to take care that the dimensions of both images are identical(!) as you have with imagedata. Hope that heps.

CGI MYSQL MACOSX
Why I can not connect to database from the CGI of revolution in MAC OSX ? I got Internal Server Error from Apache anytime I try to connect to database. I have - MACOSX 10.4 - Darwin Engine 2.5 that I got from ftp://ftp.runrev.com/pub/revolution/downloads/engines/2.1.2/Darwin.gz and people said it is the last version of the Darwin engine that had the database drivers included - Apache web server - Mysql database running on the same machine That's the script I placed in the cgi-bin folder #!revolution -ui on startup put revdb_connect(MySQL,192.168.0.43,database,user,psw) into buffer put Content-Type: text/plain cr put Content-Length: the length of buffer cr cr put buffer end startup If I open Revolution and I place put revdb_connect(MySQL,192.168.0.43,database,user,psw) into message I always get an integer...

Re: What's mdimport ?
Hi, A bit OT but a very simple way to turn spotlight off or rather prevent it from searching (and updating its database by mdimport) : - in the systemprefs -- spotlight -- Privacy - drag/add the volume(s), folders or files you don't want spotlight to search to that list This is reversible very easily.

I'm using a Mac with OS X and a utility called Activity Monitor to monitor my CPU usage, and mdimport very often is in the 90% + range. What is this that is soaking up my CPU usage?? I think it's related to Spotlight. The spike is probably while it's indexing. Yes, it's Meta Data Import and is Spotlight doing it's indexing. I haven't had any trouble with it but one of my colleagues has. Getting more RAM helped (as it always does) but I think it might have been because he had some constantly changing folders containing thousands of text files. Whether you use Spotlight or not, I know of no way to turn it off. Welcome to Tiger. Here is a shareware utility to turn Spotlight off on http://www.fixamacsoftware.com/software/spot/index.html but if you are comfortable using Terminal, you can do it yourself http://rixstep.com/2/20050528,00.html although this description doesn't tell you how to turn it back on again if you change your mind!

Re: [ANN] Moving Wallpaper demo
Hugh, thanks - this is a great demo! The panning effect stutters a little, even on a 2Mz iMac with Tiger - I don't have access to a fast Windows machine, but I'd like to know if it runs more smoothly there. I've also been experimenting with transitions other than the cross fade that you've made the default. I'm using the answer effect command to get the QT dialog, fiddling with the parameters then loading the result into a custom property - answer effect set the cTransition of this stack to it then later I can unlock screen with visual the cTransition of this stack Which is a good way of finding out about the various effects. I hadn't realised that you can save them as .qfx files. This looks handy, but I haven't yet found how to load one using Rev (i.e. not in the QT dialog). Is there a simple trick that I've missed?

highlight and hide field from standalone
Hi All. I want to add a script into a field in a substack that allows the user to highlight and hide a field. Ihe reason for this is simple. I have a master database and read a csv file then adds item one into field one (then repeat for each item). Now this is OK, however, the end user need not require all the fields in view. Indeed the first 5-6 are not required at all. Therefore, I'd like to create the master database and allow them to highlight a field (just like in the rev-IDE) via something like control-rightclick and then if the agree to the selection hit the delete key (or similar) to hide/delete the field/fields. Any IDEa's (excuse the pun)?

Re: My first print out.
I'm guessing that when you say screen, you mean the fact that the background is grey. You have to set the background of the card or stack you're printing explicitly to white. If there is no colour set, then it will show white on screen, but grey on the page. I think the way to calculate card sizes for printing means assuming a printer resolution of 72 dots per inch, and then equating 1 dot to 1 pixel on the screen.

Re: My first print out.
Joe, I believe Mark answered your first question, and most of your second question. The only thing I'd add is before printing set the printMargins to 15. This will give you a 15 pixel border around your card. It compensates for the non-printable area on most printers (HPs tend to have the widest margins so you may have to experiment with higher numbers). So the width of the card would be 612 (8.5 inches X 72 pixels per inch = 612) The printable area would be 582 (612 minus 15 pixel margins on each side) Paul Looney ___ 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

But the hell if it can be reproduced consistently... I've never managed... To fix it, select your field, change the width to small and the back to big and it should look ok from then on... The rectangle looks fine! what's wrong with it? cheers Xavier -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TJ Frame Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 8:44 PM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: Windows 2000 I'm using win 2000 and the scrollbars looks almost exactly like the ones in Word and Explorer.. not sure what you mean by non standard.

No LF when printing scripts.
I am not getting a line feed (just carriage return) when printing scripts so long line print on top of themselves. I know that you need to be careful when witting text files and so on and be sensitive to platform issues but I can't seem to find anything about problems with the development environment. I am using Win XP I have searched the archives and have not been able to find anything.

Re: Windows 2000
Hi Peter, BTW, is there an easy way to substitute one's own graphics for a scroll-bar? As my Java-loving boss said, That's easy to do in Java... Depending on how you define easy it is perfectly doable in Rev, but you need to roll your own Scrollbars.You need to do a little calculation of percentage and then you will be able to do that quickly. There are a few demo stacks. One is Klaus Majors famous banana. You find it in revOnline. User: Klausimausi Stack: Custom volume slider And I have scripted a scrollbar with a proportional thumb: Revonline User: Malte Stack: Propscroll Hope that helps, Malte ___ 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
Printing Problem
Hi Everyone, OK so the gray area on my printout is gone and I have the image area size under control. Now my problem is that the image is off center and I have a non printing area of an inch at the top and left. Can this be changed? If it matters I'm on a Mac OS X and I'm using an HP laser printer.

Re: Copy image content for object image empty. (Image moving)
Hi, you can simply put one image into another one :-) But this only works with imported images, NOT with referenced images! I understand this. on mouseUp put image img01 into image Visor ##of cd 17 of stack another cool stack end mouseUp This works to the a thousand marvels. Thanks. This is a little less scripting and you do not have to take care that the dimensions As you spoke of the dimensions I stayed thinking and when carrying out a code I found a detail that I wanted to be able to clarify. I made the following script in the image. on mouseUp lock screen put image img01 of stack myStack into image Visor set the width of image Visor to 200 set the height of image Visor to 200 unlock screen end mouseUp And it happens that when I press the click in the image, the image goes moving up in a position and me the only thing that I make is to change their dimensions. Why does this happen? I don't have neither the smallest idea. of both images are identical(!) as you have with imagedata. Hope that heps. Yes and thanks you.

Re: Poke a Shell Variable with xTalk?
Aloha, David: Thanks for that tip... but the (text file + shelling to sendmail) cat someFoo.txt | sendmail etc. is what we use now, and honestly we are shooting in the dark as to when and why a CRLF is inserted into a line that is longer than 1024 characters. The attempt to use echo makes a big assumption (possibly wrong) that it would handle long lines without that CRLF being introduced... but without *any* line delimiters at all from echo, it's a futile attempt to test for an unknown result. I'll look at postalias... but as often happens with such things,-- where lo-level programming eats so much time for so little result, and you end up going back to find an xTalk solution-- I am about ready to move up and use Shao's SMTP libs... If I had started this whole foray with that and ditched the shell thing completely last week, I would probably be home free already...and I would have a grip on a nice tool box I can use for other projects... Anyway, I think we can let this thread die for now.. Thanks Sivakatirswami On Sep 15, 2005, at 4:40 AM, david bovill wrote: My suggestion would be to go with the (text file + shelling to sendmail) combination, and not the (shell + echo + pipe) combination to get variables into anything but the simplest stuff. I have not done this with sendmail but looking at the man page, would indicate that you need to use the : Postfix sendmail relies on the postdrop(1) command to create a queue file in the maildrop directory. Which you can find at: /var/spool/postfix, mail queue However as this says use postdrop which in return takes input from STDIN you are back to square one. newaliases Initialize the alias database. If no input file is specified (with the -oA option, see below), the program processes the file(s) specified with the alias_database configuration parame- ter. If no alias database type is specified, the program uses the type specified with the default_database_type configuration parameter. This mode of operation is implemented by running the postalias(1) command. Where: -oAalias_database Non-default alias database. Specify pathname or type:pathname. See postalias(1) for details. So this is not looking simple:) The postalias command seems to be the thing you need to create the queue files in the maildrop directory (from files): POSTALIAS(1) POSTALIAS(1) NAME postalias - Postfix alias database maintenance SYNOPSIS postalias [-Nfinoprvw] [-c config_dir] [-d key] [-q key] [file_type:]file_name ... So by issuing a series of simple commands passing the right fileNames you should get the result you want? NB ie use merge() to create the right shell commands... ___ 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 ___ 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
Re: mouseDoubleDown

If I try to double click an image, the mouseDoubleDown is not sent to either the group, nor the image, but the card. Is this the normal behavior? I have an image under everything (to provide a background to the card, but it isn't a Revolution background object). This background image gets the mouseDoubleDown first and then the card. It appears mouseDoubleUp is not sent at all. This isn't what I was expecting. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks! Peter, I'm not getting this behavior... I imported an image set the script to: on mouseDoubleDown put DoubleDown end mouseDoubleDown on mouseDoubleUp put DoubleUp end mouseDoubleUp Then I grouped the image (so it was in a group), and then 2x-clicked it with the browse tool and got DoubleDown and then DoubleUp in the message box.

Re: Printing Problem
Have you experimented with the printMargins? It may be that if you've set them to a smaller value than your printer supports, some value (like 1 inch) gets used. I've had various difficulties when printing, but experimenting with the printMargins has usually sorted this kind of problem. I'm certainly no expert, so maybe someone else here can suggest something more specific...

java?
My current development strategy is to use hypercard for classic and then port to metacard for windows and os x. It seems a workable strategy. However I keep hoping for transcript as a scripting language (a tag like script language=transcript) or a way to run a stack from within the browser. So far I'm not seeing this happening. This semester I'm off to learn java. I'm hoping however to find the simplest and easiest IDE out there (classic, os x or windows) to do so. I don't want the latest and greatest -- in fact, I want the simplest and smallest. I'm hoping someone here might be able to tell me: a) Whether and where an integrated visual IDE for java could be found -- of course, ideally it would be like hypercard with a palette to choose interface elements (buttons, fields, movies, images) and for scripting them. b) A simple java for compiling applets. I don't need or even want to make java standalones! I want not to have to choose between the various development possibilities that java offers -- all I want is to compile simple applets. If I wanted to build standalone apps I would use hypercard/revolution for that. But I don't think there is a good hypercard/revolution solution for online distribution (i.e. you cannot yet run a stack from within a browser). I know some people were working on a java hypercard. So maybe they might have some ideas? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
