Hum, written on my behalf but without letting me know about it.

There is a bit of misunderstanding there. What I had proposed David  
was to buy a domain like "openrev.org" to host a set of webservices  
more specifically focused on the members of the community who have  
small or no commercial interest. The idea was to start working on the  
creation of a library of shared functions/components. Unfortunately,  
we didn't get to discuss much of this. Initially, I thought we did  
but it appeared there was some conflict of interest and the  
discussion had no positive outcome with regards to an open alliance  
of any kind. Some parallel discussion has taken place with Alain  
Farmer, of xcard () but nothing  
tangible has come out of these discussions. This may change in a few  
months, but for now, there is nothing tangible in terms of a "small  
or non profit runrev users alliance".


I produced the codes cms on my own webserver, to host a catalogue of  
codes, as a first step in that direction. This was something missing  
and this was not something I could expect runrev to take care of.  
Frankly, I prefer them to work on improving the nice application of  
theirs than to spend an hour or two every day maintaining such a CMS  
like the one I propose there. I hope that this cms will reduce the  
reasons some users have to express dissatisfaction at runrev services  
but I am aware more could be done.

Hmm, David, you didn't tell me that. Anyway, I met runrev team on my  
own behalf about some issues I have as somebody who tries to have  
revolution better promoted in the education community and who cannot  
do much without runrev support. My demarch has always been to try to  
support their effort rather than propose to take responsibilities  
"with or without rev support" that are theirs and should never be  
mine.  Yes, on the use-rev list I proposed to have forums created  
elsewhere as they were recurrent complaints about the traffic on the  
use-rev list... which  by experience is really a problem for non  
profit/education users who have only 3-4 hours a week to spend on the  
list. I have said that there was no need to ask for runrev approval  
simply because that's the case... we don't need runrev approval to  
create a forum on some runrev related topic. But I never proposed to  
host the revdocs with or without RunRev support. If they believe I  
can help them identify the best system to host this doc, I will  
humbly share my experience of cms wih them. If they need a hand, I  
will gladly give it. But I won't host the revdocs on any of my  
websites nor join a group that does (host revdocs on private websites  
without runrev endorsement).


In fact, what I rather suggested to Kevin and Mark (of runrev) was to  
try to channel the discontentment expressed on the list by having  
some community members encourage and facilitate some  better  
community structure. The problem I tried to address is that there is  
the feeling that there is a mechanism for the "entreprise" members to  
influence decisions (with improve-revolution list) but there is none  
for the "non profit/education user". Of course, we cannot expect to  
have runrev encourage one-to-one contact between all its users and  
the company. The idea, then, was to have a few persons from this non  
profit/education community taking a role of "representative" who have  
for role to channel and centralize the requests and suggestions and  
meet once or twice a year with the rev team to pass the information  
and get the rev team feedback on it, pass it down to the members.  
Hence, what has been expressed on the list is that users decided to  
rant because they had the impression that any more "positive"  
approach (suggestion, recommendation, request) will have no effect  
whatsoever. What I argue for is the set up some structure by which  
"small" users (non profit/education) get a chance to  submit requests  
and suggestions to the rev team without having to directly complain  
to revolution or write infuriating posts on the list.

Re: Architecting the Doc Solution

2006-01-15 Thread Sivakatirswami

Marielle:

I've been lurking on your initiative for some time as I am indeed in  
your boat "non-profit-education user" of rev.


 I fully agree:

1) we should not host the Docs
2) the docs are fine as they are: what are needed are examples!

And thus your shared code library site concept is perfect.  Dan  
Shafer is doing his ebooks but you have to pay for each one... That's  
not going to work for us edu types. I can't be putting in a PO  
requisition for money to buy each new book he puts out (however cheap  
they may be) so, open source is the way to go.


More comments inserted. Just by way of "moral support"

list... which  by experience is really a problem for non profit/ 
education users who have only 3-4 hours a week to spend on the list.


Indeed, these pro live there all day long but I have lots' of other  
work to do! It's a pain to search the archives when all you want is  
an example of some solution you need.  Your trying to find a 10 line  
handler you saw in the archives last year...


 If they need a hand, I will gladly give it. But I won't host the  
revdocs on any of my websites nor join a group that does (host  
revdocs on private websites without runrev endorsement).


Right, they need to be responsible for the docs, others are already  
offering good solutions


What I argue for is the set up some structure by which "small"  
users (non profit/education) get a chance to  submit requests and  
suggestions to the rev team without having to directly complain to  
revolution or write infuriating posts on the list.


Good idea: non-profits may not be a big market for run-rev. But it's  
important for them to have their brand take a high profile in our  
sector. I remember a magazine consultant telling us years ago (with  
respect to marketing our magazine Hinduism Today) that, though there  
was little money in it, it was "mission critical" to get your product  
in front of the students... as these are the people who will buy it  
five years from now. Like kids at the uni today all excited about  
some macromedia product, flash etc. These are the decision makers in  
companies tomorrow. It is so true, I am meeting 25-30 year olds now  
who said "I've been reading Hinduism Today since I was 15 years old"   
so, for the long haul run rev needs us (forward this to Kevin if he  
is interested in this kind of thing...)


Anyway, good luck... I often would like to contribute stuff, but I'm  
not really in a position to put up polished finished stacks. I can't  
deal with any mail traffic that might relate to bugs or questions if  
I did, so I just don't But I could easily offer handlers etc. I think  
this is *really* the other problem: stacks are finished UI's, but  
ultimately these are just code, but the whole model for sharing now  
is stacks, but to share a stack you have to make it usable enough for  
anyone, but non-profit users are spending most of their time  
developing in-house RADS that are very specific to contextual needs  
(" just have to get something that will do this job for us..."  that  
mean nothing to others... meanwhile, there is no model for sharing  
code. So, there's millions of lines of xTalk out there and we have no  
way to re-purpose any of it.


So, go for it!

Re: Architecting the Doc Solution

2006-01-15 Thread Charles Hartman

I really like the "cookbook" model of mutual help at, for example,
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python

In various languages, I've found that after the initial bootstrapping  
phase (Dan Shafer's book can help people through that), the cookbook  
approach is very efficient: I know enough to know what it is I don't  
know, I formulate it as a how-do-I-do-this problem, and look up the  
keywords that percolate into consciousness in the process. On a big  
site like the ASPN one, most problems have dozens of solutions, and  
choosing one, even in a rush, always teaches me something.


This is the long-winded way of saying I think Marielle's approach to  
code-fragment collection may turn out to be the missing link of docs.

Re: [ANN] Audio Waveform display

2006-01-15 Thread Mark Smith
Sivakatirswami, I think the audio to midi functionality exists in a  
few of the pro sequencing packages, but you might take a look at  
Melodyne  : http://www.celemony.com/


I don't know of anything that can extract a single voice from a  
recording of a full band/orchestra/choir. Perhaps it can be done for  
a clarinet or oboe (I haven't seen this, myself) since those  
instruments produce a relatively simple sound (not so many complex  
harmonics) unless blown very hard. A human voice is a very much more  
complex sound, and obviously much more variable, which might explain  
the difficulty.


Getting the pitches of a solo voice recording can certainly be done,  
and googling 'audio to midi' produces a lot of results. I suspect  
this is one of those areas like photoshop-type image transformations,  
where it could probably be done in transcript, but would likely be so  
slow as to be not worth the effort in practice. For a start, you'd  
need to read every sample point of the binary audio file, rather than  
take every n samples as my waveform display does, and so just reading  
the data would take a long time. I suppose you could do it in chunks,  
which would probaly be more effeicient, but then you've still got to  
analyse the frequency of the peaks and troughs (I imagine this is how  
it would be done), and I just can't see this being done in transcript  
speedily enough for the amounts of data involved. Maybe someone will  
prove me wrong though, as I proved myself wrong about displying the  
waveform!


For Indian music, you'd have to be more fine-grained than the western  
diatonic scale (semi-tones), as Indian music has it's own system that  
uses quarter tones (at least - I'm not very knowledgable about this),  
but you could just maintain a small database of different scales -  
Indian, Western, Malaysian etc.


Anyway, if you decide to try it, feel free to use any code from my  
display control (the file reading part might be a useful starting  
point), and let me know if you think I can help.



Best,

Mark

Fascinating... I wonder how far we can take this: "analyze sound"   
--> analyze song --> output notes. Here's is a specific application  
I would  be very interested in:


Take a vocal song and analyze the pitch-melody and output some  
musical notation. The idea is to "capture the tune."  In this case  
we need to display shifts in hertz over time, and not just amplitude.


Of course this may be inventing the wheel, but a search on the web  
doesn't turn up much other than MIDI to notation and some very  
obscure cmd line tools from the world of European polyphonic music.  
Maybe some of our other music wizard will chime in here. I had a  
tool for this years ago but they went out of business. I thought  
Finale had a plug in for it, but I don't see it and this is the  
premier notation program...


Even if thereis something out there... a rev app would be nice:

One would have to set up a range-distance in hertz for pitch  
changes that would be equivalent to a half step on the 12 note  
octave.  73.333 hertz per step, I think...  The pitch wave form  
would set a marker every time the pitch changes by that much  
Now you could use known values (440 = A with a toleance of 2 ,   
438-442 = the note A).


I always thought the "pollution" of a sound track (singer had  
instruments playing behind him or her) would make it nigh well  
impossible for artificial intelligence to pull out the voice only  
and export to notes. They have stuff for this that you can attach  
to a clarinet or an oboe, but thats a single sound, not a music  
recording... But if we had a GUI that showed pitches and the user  
could chose points through time as "the ones to use" then the  
program would use those points (which would have hertz values) and  
export to notation.


For the kind of Indian musical vocal I'm talking about, there will  
be a very strong melodic line, akin to recording a clarinet sans  
much else behind it. Outputting to western standard time values  
(quarter notes, half notes, whole notes) could be dispensed with  
initially (too big a mountain to climb) I would get the melodic  
line output and send it to one on our team in Indian Svaram  
notation and let them enter them into the tala. The indian system  
is very simple since it makes no attempt to offer an entire musical  
staff (chords), but you would just get, ala the old hypercard music  
notation (where minus equals flat and plus = sharp):  output like  
this:


Mohana raga: c d f g a c c a g f d c  or Mayamalavagaula; c c+ e f  
g g+ b c


 (I wrote some stuff in HC for this years ago, brought it into  
Supercard and then lost it...but I'm sure there is lots of stuff  
around still playing in this pond.)


Point: the output is a simple linear export of hertz values  
represented  as chars that = musical notes, separated by  a space.   
I believe there is a convention for this

Subject: Formatting numbers
To: Revolution User List 
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Does somebody have a suggestion for formatting numbers with commas for a

small to large. The larger ones are hard to read, so I'd like to insert

commas at the appropriate places. I can think of clunky ways to do it,
but thought I'd ask here in case someone had already brewed up something
nice.

Thanks,

Marty Knapp



Marty,

Here are a couple of number formatting functions I use a lot.

The first is the standard comma formatting and the second puts the 
number into scientific format.


For example, the number 12225677.98 formats to

Comma format: 12,225,677.98
Scientific format 1.22*10^7

Jim

function commaFormat tNum
  put tNum mod 1 into remainder
  delete char 1 of remainder
  put trunc(tNum) into tNum
  put the number of chars in tNum into n
  repeat with i = 1 to trunc((n-1)/3)
put comma after char n - 3*i of tNum
  end repeat
  return tNum& remainder
end commaformat

function sciFormat tNum,sigFigures
  if tNum < 0 then
put "-" into sign
  else put empty into sign
  put abs(tNum) into tNum
  if sigFigures is empty then put 3 into sigFigures--Default 
significant figures.

  put 0 into count
  if tNum >= 1 then
repeat until tNum < 10
  divide tNum by 10
  add 1 to count
end repeat
put round((10^(sigFigures-1))*tNum)/10^(sigFigures-1) into tNum
return sign & (char 1 to sigFigures + 1 of tNum) &"*10^" & count
  end if
  if tNum < 1 then
repeat until tNum >= 1
  multiply tNum by 10
  add 1 to count
end repeat
  end if
  return sign & (char 1 to sigFigures + 1 of tNum) & "*10^-" & count
end sciFormat

Re: Portable Apps..?

Jim,

All stated that it would NOT be accepted in any corporate 
environment in Europe as

corporations were banning the use of such devices by people in the office.
No employees were allowed to use such a device in the office.


I must say I'm surprised to hear this.

From my limited experience, I would guess that many corporate and 
other business enterprises allow employees to take company laptops 
home or on the road with them, use their own computer for company 
business, or to take software and documents home on mass storage to 
work on their own computer after hours.  If the organization allows 
one to take a company computer out of the office, what security is 
gained by prohibiting small mass storage devices in the office?


I cannot imagine trying to run a business of any size without 
allowing some subset of employees access to company computers & data 
off-site and after hours.  If that is allowed, banning the use of 
small mass storage devices seems non sequitur to this foole.

Hi Scott,

Many thanks for your recommendation. I went for heartinternet www.heartinternet.co.uk/> which had been recommended on this list, I  
believe. They have free 24/24 "chat support", 100% uptime guaranteed,  
unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth for a price I can afford. When I  
connected to their website, the page was instantaneously displayed. I  
checked out forums on the web, I only read positive comments about  
them. From the setup I can see and what they let me or don't let me  
do, they know their job. On top, it comes with a bunch of free  
templates (professional and not), stock photos, clipart library, etc.  
So far, I am very happy.


The lexicall.org is back up and working, still awaiting DNS update.  
But I have already transfered all files to their new home. All  
content is now on the new host, all cms but one are working. The  
stack galleries are accessible. Etc. Nearly there!



If Marielle is looking for a good host I certainly
recommend FutureQuest - http://www.futurequest.net/
I host with them and they are excellent in up time,
support and generous with throughput.

(Note - I am in no way affiliated with this service
other than being a happy customer).

Bongu Rob,

Perhaps the key here is, as you state, "subset of employees".

I stated "people in the office", such as large law offices with 
hundreds of secretaries,
or call centers, etc. IOW not the 'tech guys' but people answering 
phones, manning

databases, and doing general office work.

Using a flash drive would be a real plus for my project, not a show 
stopper though.
It would make it much easier & thereby more profitable if I can use a 
flash drive.


Guess the only way to find out is to give it a shot.

Hello everyone,

	I was wonder whether there is a way to set default properties for  
object in Revolution.  I notice in Revolution's Preference window  
that default object sizes can be set.  It would be nice to be able to  
set default field properties such as font and text size.  Would that  
somehow be done through custom properties?

Hi Gregory,

You set the default font and size of all fields in a stack by setting  
the font and size of the stack itself in the property inspector.
By default, all objects inherit the properties of their owner unless  
you set them differently.
See Property Inheritance in Docs/Topics/Properties and property  
profiles :-)

OK, that's great. I even like the fact that when I hit the subscribe 
button that it opened my reader and it automatically subscribed me.


Now for something completely different, sort of.

This: http://www.sonsothunder.com/feeds/STSRevUpdates.xml RSS file is 
formatted as version '2.0' and will also work inside of Intuition 1.5. 
The procedure for using it follows. Open a file in Intuition 1.5 or 
create a new one, go  to Import / RSS & Auto Load,  enter this URL: 
http://www.sonsothunder.com/feeds/STSRevUpdates.xml into the URL 
window, press Get RSS. That will download this RSS file. After that is 
complete press Import. You now have all the items of this RSS feed as a 
page in Intuition of the currently open Intuition file. If you add a 
RSS link back to that feed's URL then you will have an automated 
version that automatically downloads this RSS file while opening 
Intuition's own internal reader. Do this by selecting some text to make 
a link out of and then by using the E menu go all the way to the bottom 
of the E menu to select RSS link. When prompted enter this URL, 
http://www.sonsothunder.com/feeds/STSRevUpdates.xml , to complete the 
creation of the RSS link.


I think in the next upgrade I will add placing this RSS link 
automatically  so the user does not have to create the link. Anyway 
with Intuition you can create a book / archive of RSS feeds  from Ken's 
Rev-Updates. I hope that this link is meant to be a constant URL for 
that feed? The cool thing that is different about Intuition is that RSS 
feeds that link to on-line Intuition files can be downloaded and merged 
directly from the RSS reader. That is a huge difference than just being 
able to go to a website in your primary browser. Intuition files are 
multi-paged and can contain all the images if formatted that way.


Intuition 1.5 is completed. Normally you would download the latest 
version from Tucows but they don't have the newest version up yet.


To get the Mac OSX version download from here:
http://home.earthlink.net/~gizmotron/intuitionX.sit
From Tucows when latest versions exist:
 http://www.tucows.com/preview/390071.html

To get the Windows version download from here:
http://www.leveltron.com/windownload.exe
From Tucows  when latest versions exist:
 http://www.tucows.com/preview/390072.html

You might need to paste these URLs into your browser window to get them 
to download properly. Links like this from an email client don't always 
open the browser's file download.

Re: PDF and PPT

2006-01-15 Thread Rick Rice
I know this must have been covered before, but how do I open a PDF 
file

and/or a powerpoint file from within Rev?


When you say, "open", what do you mean? I mean do you want to launch
PowerPoint or Acrobat reader from within Rev and pass it the document 
so it
displays properly in that program, or do you mean to display 
PowerPoint or

PDF content within a Rev stack?
Ken Ray


First, thanks Tom and Alex for your suggestions.
However, Ken asked the question the way I should have.
	What I want to do is launch PowerPoint and/or Acrobat reader from 
within Rev and pass it the document for display outside of Rev.

I did, after posting the first time, find the "launch   with" command.
	Works great as long as I know the exact path to both the file and the 
app. My problem is how do I do this when I have created a standalone 
and the stack is being used by a student and I have no idea where their 
app is actually located? I would be able to locate the file, as it will 
be distributed in the directory with the stack.
	Thanks Ken. An answer is always more likely if the question is 
correctly asked.

Re: Architecting the Doc Solution

2006-01-15 Thread Judy Perry
Which, of course, really goes back to the  Hypercard model of pre-built
widgets ala the Buttons and Fields stacks (don't recall their exact names
at the moment) that many of us have requested since Day 1.

And, while it's wonderful that individuals such as Marielle and others
wish to 'fill the gap', the ideal approach, especially for inventive
users/hobbyists/edu folks/non or novice programmers, is to have these
things shipped WITH THE PRODUCT because this target audience is least
likely to have the confidence to look for third-party resources, search
the list archives, or even ask the use-list three or more times how to use
and script tabs (e.g., eliminate the gap instead of filling it). (And, if
you search the use-list archives, you will see that the tabs example is
one that comes up _repeatedly_).

Think about it:  what percentage of that target population do you really
think will just walk away if these things aren't part of the out-of-box
experience?  Is 50% too generous? (I think it is; I'm betting it's more
like 75% or higher).

Does the company want to lose that many potential users?

I hope not.

Re: Image Corruption

2006-01-15 Thread Marty Knapp

Thanks Chipp and Jim,

I'll have to do some more experimenting here. I am having some weird 
problems though. They manifested themselves when I started building 
standalones with a menubar. If I remove the menubar, there seems to be 
no problem (just a standard Rev default menubar with no changes on my 
part). If I remove 3 specific graphics I also have no problem. I've 
tried resaving the graphics in Photoshop and resaving them in 
GraphicConverter, all with no improvement.


Though seemingly unrelated, when I started having problems with jpegs 
(created with the Save-for web option) not showing on a web pages, I 
thought maybe my problem was rooted in Photoshop. So I deleted the Pref 
file for Save-for-web and it fixed my web/jpeg problem. It hasn't solved 
my .png graphic problem in Rev, however . . .


So i'll keep digging here and report back what I find. I hope I can 
solve my problem and as welll as assist others who may have similar issues.


Thanks again!

I agree with Chipp.
Virtually all of my web images (many thousands) are done via Save for web
and they play inside of straight HTML, Flash jpg import at run time, Flash
swf import at run time, various photo album renditions of thumbnails/et al
derived from images created with Save for web.

I cannot remember a failure, unless it was during the ftp upload process,
and the answer was to make the upload a second time.

Using OSX 10.1 thru 10.4, PhotoShop CS 7.0 & 8.0, and lts o' drive
space.

One extra thought.  I cannot use 'progressive' jpgs with Flash import at run
time, thus I avoid them, so this might be a factor in your work.  There is
more than one type of jpg and the answer may be to try each and see if there
is a correlation.

Hope this helps.

For those of you who saw my posts about weird behavior in my standalone
(mostly crashing on startup), it seems the problem was corrupted images,
which I deleted and replaced using Rev's built-in graphics. Today I
found something that may be of value to others - I was working on a web
site, using Photoshop's "Save for web" option and while the images
looked OK and imported to my web program fine, they wouldn't display in
a browser. If I just saved them as jpegs (not the save-for-web route)
they would display fine. So I deleted the Save-for-web preference file
and that seems to have done the trick.

Yeah, it appears that the revXML.dll can't handle character entities very
well (Peter Evensen identified this a couple of weeks back). Here's what I'd
posted in response:

-
If your files aren't too large, you may wish to try my all-Transcript XML
library, which handles these without issue. If you're interested, contact me
off-list as I'm getting ready to release a major upgrade to the library
(2.0) which isn't available from my web site yet (only 1.1.7 is available
publicly).

Re: Rev in High School

2006-01-15 Thread Mark Greenberg
Step 1:  My wife clipped a tiny notice from the paper that the Qwest  
Foundation was granting money to teachers for "innovative use of  
technology in the classroom."


Step 2:  I researched the grant and contacted the organization that  
was managing the grant process and money.


Step 3:  I attended a workshop put on by that organization on how to  
write this particular grant.  The workshop gave me good info but was  
a bit intimidating since most of the attendees were  professional  
grant writers and district technology coordinators.  I'm just a teacher.


Step 4:  I got the class authorized through my district, just in case  
I did get the grant.  I also spoke to the person in our district who  
handles federal funding so she could give me advice.  It wasn't a  
federal grant, but she still understands this type of thing better  
than I do.


Step 5:  I wrote up the proposal, passing it by half a dozen people  
for ideas, wording, spelling, etc.  Since innovation was a key  
element in the wording of the grant information, I focused on the  
video game nature of the stacks my students would be creating.


Step 6:  I mailed it off, checking and rechecking that everything was  
exactly the way they wanted it.


Step 7:  I waited  until Friday when I got the call.  : )

If anyone is interested in more detail, contact me off-list.

This is what you should expect to get - this string is valid UTF-8
rendered as the native 1-byte encoding.

Try
  put revXMLAttribute(tDocID2,"/player/snd["&sndID&"]","trans") \
into tUTF8Text
  put uniDecode(uniEncode(tUTF8Text, "UTF8")) into field "trans"

Now the explanation...

Your XML file is specified to have the encoding 'UTF-8'. This means that
the XML parser will attempt to interpret the contents of the file as
being valid UTF-8 text - in particular, numeric character references
(such as #&241), which are taken as unicode code points, will be
resolved to the appropriate sequence of characters for UTF-8.

revXML doesn't mess with the encoding at all - so what you get back from
the revXML* functions (in your case) will be UTF-8 encoded strings.

Therefore, to convert to the platform native 1-byte encoding (MacRoman
on MacOS, Latin-1 on Windows and ISO8859-1 on Unix/Linux) you need to
convert to UTF-16:
  put uniEncode(tUTF8Text, "UTF8") into tUTF16Text
and then convert back to the standard 1-byte encoding:
  put uniDecode(tUTF16Text) into tNativeText

(The uniDecode function, without a second parameter, indicates that the
target encoding is one of the native 1-byte ones appropriate to the
running platform)

Warmest Regards,

Mark.

No prob, Rick... Try this:

on LaunchDoc pPath
  if the platform is "Win32" then  -- Windows 98SE or higher*
put shortFilePath(pPath) into pPath
put item 1 to (the number of items of pPath - 1) of pPath & \
  "/" into tDir
put item -1 of pPath into tItem
put char 1 to 2 of tDir into tDrive
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
get shell(tDrive && "& cd" && tDir && " & start" && tItem)
  else-- Mac
replace "/" with ":" in pPath
if char 1 of pPath = ":" then delete char 1 of pPath
put "tell application" && q("Finder") & cr & \
  "open file" && q(pPath) & cr & "end tell" into tAS
do tAS as "AppleScript"
  end if
end LaunchDoc

This should work... (hope there aren't any typos)...

Re: revCreateXMLFromFile parsing entities?

For all others, you need to either:
  - define them explicity using an '!ENTITY' declaration before use
or
  - include a file containing the entity declarations before use
or
  - define them in your schema and reference that in your header

Obviously, if you are used to HTML then you are used to having a whole
zoo of entities predefined. XML tries to be as lightweight as possible
so this isn't mandated.

This is for the reasons pointed out in my previous post. I'm guessing
your XML file is tagged with UTF-8 as its encoding - so the unicode copy
point '162' is getting translated to its 2-byte UTF-8 representation.

Hope this helps,

Mark.

In addition to Eric's excellent comments, you can also set "the
templateField" with properties prior to creating fields. All objects have a
template, so you can set the template ahead of time and then from that point
forward (until you change it or quit Rev) any objects you create will have
those properties.

So you could say:

  set the textFont of the templateField to "Comic Sans"
  set the textSize of the templateField to "14
  create field

Anyway, lookup the template___ entries in the Transcript Dictionary for more
info.

Needed: A shortcut to help user install downloaded fonts

2006-01-15 Thread Kresten Bjerg
HI
After the long discussion on font installation in March,(3/3/05 - 30/3/05) and 
my  (unanswered) posting last week on the same topic, I got the following idea:
If a downloadable standalone / with an installer/ comes in a folder, in which  
my fontsuite is included, couldnt  an answer dialogue be constructed, which - 
(when invoked by users clicking a button)  by itself, and without the users 
browsing, could locate the (WIN or MAC) OS fontfolder, and - on users accept -  
simply move the included fontsuite to that folder. Its a onetime event, and the 
intricacies of  "using the 'ext.dll', installing the fonts as custom properties 
etc , which I cant understand, and which seems to involve cross platform 
intricacies, could perhaps be avoided.
Of course one could also instruct the user to "manually" copy the dowloaded  
fontsuite 
to the OS fontfolder, - but the standalone is meant for users who might not 
know what a font or a folder is.
I guess the handlers for doing this on windows and on macs  will be slightly 
different, - but can it be done on both systems ?- and ... frankly: can someone 
on the list help with the necessary commands in such answer dialogues.?
(That the user will have to restart before using is no problem).

Kresten

P:S  Will a separate script have to be prepared for linux standalones, or would 
the Win  version be sufficient there ?

Rosetta is the PowerPC emulator that runs on the Intel Macs. It 
allows existing PowerPC code to be executed on the new intel macs 
transparently. That includes the current version of Revolution which 
I assume is able to run flawlessly already.


The question of course is whether the plug-ins will run smoothly 
including things like video capture and so forth. Again I'm guessing 
but it's probably quite transparent.


The issue is whether there is a significant performance hit or not.

I agree.  I love Rev.  But it took me quite a while to come to

This is where Marielle's site will be so useful.  Finding everything
one needs in one spot is the best way I know of assisting newbie coders.
I've come from and IDE where everything (code wise) is openly available.
Sure - some of it is (actually there is a lot) of commercial solutions
too.  To just "get the job done" is possible with twenty minutes of
searching and checking the results.  Searching for many Rev resources
is much harder.

Universal Binaries and the 2.7 cycle

2006-01-15 Thread Mathewson
1. Am I right in assuming that RR 2.7.* will be a 'pay'
upgrade rather than a free one, as it involves a
significant feature upgrade (Universal Binaries) ?

2. Presumably 'Universal Binaries' refers to Standalones
only, and a stack authored on Dreamcard 2.6.1 will be
directly transferable to an Intel-Mac where it may be
played using a DC 2.7.* player ? One of the MOST FANTASTIC
THINGS about RR is that the stacks are universal "already".
