Chipp,
This sounds like a beauiful solution, but unfortunately not exactly what is 
needed for our purpose.
For one thing, we should avoid embedding 12 fonts in the standalone, as these 
fonts are planned to be repeatedly updated in the future
,-and users shall be enabled to evolve, furnish and accumulate diary over years 
in the same personal standalone.
 Also, the function of removing the fonts when OS restarts  works 
counterpurpose to our concept.
 We want users to be able to copy and edit text with glyphs from their diaries 
in Word and other text-editors.
But congratulations to your new product.

For those of you who have subscribed to the Rev-Updates email

Why Widged.com? Because widged stands more or less for widgets for
education. I try to focus on small (widget-size) resources that can
be quite difficult to locate or to get to know about. I thought
widged would be more a more reusable name for this kind of material
than the not so reusable "reusable learning objects" . For an

Interpreting a URL?

2006-01-16 Thread Mark Brownell




How ShellExecute Interprets the URL Passed:

ShellExecute parses the string passed to it to extract either a 
protocol specifier or a file extension, which it then uses to 
determine what application to launch by looking in the registry.


 If you pass "http://www.microsoft.com"; to ShellExecute, the "http://"; 
sub-string is recognized as a protocol, which causes it to look at 
"HKCR\http\shell\open" for information on how to execute. If you pass 
"myfile.htm" to ShellExecute, the ".htm" sub-string is recognized as a 
file extension causing it to look at "HKCR\.htm," which leads to 
"HKCR\htmlfile\shell\open."


I'm looking for a way to have a hyperlink in an HTML page, viewed in 
your favorite browser, open my standalone application on Windows and 
Mac OSX versions, and have it load that URL in the hyperlink. So I'm 
thinking that this kind of a hyperlink would do the job:


Download it here .

I got the idea from a discussion on RSS feeds where links like this: 
href="feed://www... are used to open a default RSS reader in order to 
subscribe to it.


I'm betting that some additional work on the registry would be needed 
where my app sets the registry for opening a file while launching my 
app. I would perhaps need to add "HKCR\mtml\shell\open" to the registry.


Has anyone done this already for Windows and/or for Mac? I will need to 
come up with an applescript solution for this as well.


Thanks for any advice,

Mark

Need help, rotating then printing images - whilst still retaining quality

2006-01-16 Thread Jason (Polydiam)

I've made a stack which allows users to import an image into it then move
the image around until they have it where they want it.
The user is then able to press print and print out whatever is in that
particular stack onto a page onto coordinates I have supplied.

When bringing in a large image, the program automatically resizes it to the
size of the stack which is 304x380px, and when printing the image, it prints
out at a high res (as long as the image is high res).

I'm using the following code to rotate the image, so I don't lose image
quality:
-
put the rect of image "MyImage" on stack "MyStack" into rotateRect1
 put the rect of image "MyImage" on stack "MyStack" into rotateRect2

   put (item 1 of rotateRect1) into item 2 of rotateRect2 
put (item 2 of rotateRect1) into item 1 of rotateRect2 
   put (item 3 of rotateRect1) into item 4 of rotateRect2 
put (item 4 of rotateRect1) into item 3 of rotateRect2

set the angle of image "MyImage" on stack "MyStack" to the angle of image
"MyImage" on stack "MyStack" -90

   set the rect of image "MyImage" on stack "MyStack" to rotateRect2
--
When I rotate an image using the code above, it look ok on the screen, but
oddly, when I try to print the stack using the code below - when an image
has been rotated (and only when an image has been rotated), most of the
image disappears and very oddly prints out a very small section of the image
only. 
-
put "18,34,386,538" into imagePrintSize

  open printing
  
print stack "MyStack" into imagePrintSize

  close printing -- send group of cards to printer


I can't understand why, Is this a fault with revolution? I've tried using
the rotate command, which seems to work, but that loses a lot of quality
because the image is resized to the size of the stack. Is there a way
rotating an image with the 'angle' command then making a new image from that
and then printing? Or a better work around that anyone can think of?


I really appreciate the help. Thank you
Jason

[OT Rant] Re: Portable Apps..?

2006-01-16 Thread Rob Cozens


Bongu 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.


What follows is a rant...please feel free to trash it without reading 
it (or respond to me privately?):


Society, at least in America, is disintegrating because of the 
prevalent atmosphere of distrust.


* I grew up in a society where people were presumed innocent until 
proven guilty; I live in a society where the government asks its 
citizens to presume there are enemy terriorists among the people around them.


* I live in a society where armed, plain-clothes government agents 
ride planes, trains, & busses with authority to shoot to kill if 
anyone utters the words, "I have a bomb", or otherwise acts suspiciously.


* I live in a society where a major international airport is shut 
down for hours because a luggage screener sees "something that looked 
suspicious" in a suitcase and instead of asking the owner to open the 
suitcase, reports it to authorities who--after talking to the 
owner--take the suitcase to the street and blast it with a water cannon.


* I live in a society where a flashlight found in a public restroom 
is sent to an FBI lab to make sure it isn't actually a bomb, the 
flashlight's owner is being threatened with prosecution, and the 
authorities & news agencies are still making a case that this was not 
the asanine screw up that it was.


From your post (plus the subway killing in London and the public's 
acceptance of it) it appears this distrust is world-wide and 
permeating the private sector as well.


I thank God that I am old enough to have lived most of my life in a 
freer society; but wonder what quality of life awaits my grandson, 
living in a world where he is distrusted by his government and his 
employer as well.


Society is a joint undertaking; and civilization based on force, 
secrecy, and distrust condems its members to hell on earth.

Hello everyone,

I was wonder whether there is a way to set default properties for

that default object sizes can be set.  It would be nice to be able to

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

revPrintField and DreamCard Player

2006-01-16 Thread André . Bisseret

In the app. I am just completing, I have a button on each card with 
witch the user can print a field.
After some lines that format the text (font, size, color etc), the last 
two lines of the button script are :


revShowPrintDialog true,true
revPrintField ("field" && quote & "MyField" & quote)

This works nicely with Revolution on Mac ;  the two dialog boxes 
("setup" and "print") are displayed one after the other, allowing to 
print the field.
I event discovered that the first line is not necessary ; if I suppress 
it, the "revPrintField" does all the work, displaying the two dialog 
boxes, and I can print.


But, it does not work so well when I launch my app. with DreamCard 
Player (for Mac).
With the player, only the setUp dialog box appear, and when I click on 
"OK" nothing else happens ; the second box is not displayed and I can't 
print.


Thanks in advance for any advice,
André

File/Picture Chooser Widgets available for Windows XP

2006-01-16 Thread Bob Warren


Dear Windows XP Users,

I have produced 2 standalone widgets for the selection of files or 
pictures (with preview). They are free, and you can use them as you wish.


To download the demo pack, please navigate to:-

http://www.howsoft.com/downloads/runrev/

- where you will find the file:

RunRev_Chooser_Widgets_DEMO_PACK_1.zip

This ZIP archive contains a readme file which gives full instructions 
for use and testing.


My real intention is to produce similar widgets for Linux, but I thought 
it would be easier to do a Windows XP version first to gain experience, 
since I am more familar with Windows. I will be working on the Linux 
versions as of now.


Once the similar Linux versions have been produced, I will almost 
certainly beautify the widgets in #2, allowing the user to include his 
own background image and perhaps using little pictures for the HD tree 
nodes instead of the symbols "+" and "--" that I have used in #1.


Thereafter, if the demand exists, we can look into the problem of 
producing versions for MAC - facilitated by the existence of the Linux 
versions. Unfortunately, I don't possess a Macintosh computer, nor am I 
likely to on account of their very high price in Brazil. But first 
things first, let's see if you think the widgets are worth developing 
further!


Best,
Bob

Re: Off Topic / On Topic: Those Yahoo Groups ?

Mathewson wrote:

After the "November/December Cafuffle" over what was and
what was not the acceptable topic-range on the RR use-list
Richard Gaskin set up a rev-biz Yahoo group and I set up a
rev-Graphics group - and they died a rapid and perhaps
predictable death.

I would be grateful if users could e-mail me directly (i.e.
don't clog-up this list again) as to whether those Yahoo
Groups are worth maintaining or should be "flushed down the
toilet of history"


Working with graphics would seem to fall under the charter of this 
use-rev list, so I'm not sure why there's a separate group for that.


Using the documentation would also seem within the charter of this list, 
but a working group for detailed discussions of revising the docs for 
the future has been given RunRev's blessing at:


A specific task from RunRev was once given to that group, and other 
opportunities may come along later.  The central mandate -- that 
recommendations refined there and then presented to RunRev will be given 
consideration -- remains.


The Rev-Biz group was formed as an outlet for often lengthy discussions 
about how RunRev should run their business.  Since those have been cited 
by RunRev as outside of the charter of this list, Rev-Biz remains 
available for anyone with a need to delve into such things in detail:



RevInterop is a working group for defining and evangelizing guidelines 
for making components that work well together:


Significant work has been done by that group, and the first draft of 
interoperability guidelines has been published there.


The MC IDE working group maintains and distributes the MetaCard IDE for 
the engine for anyone with an Enterprise (MetaCard) license:


Version 2.6b12 was released there a couple weeks ago, and will likely go 
final soon.


Alain Farmer's FreeGUI is an extension of the MC IDE, open for 
contributions from those who'd like to see a more HyperCard-like 
interface for working with the Rev engine:



The Revolution IPC group got off to a strong start in crafting a library 
for inter-process communication, but currently appears to be stalled -- 
maybe all that's needed is a little fresh blood to complete it:



The SoCal Rev group exists only for planning meetings for the regional 
Southern California Rev User Group:



The original HyperCard list remains somewhat active there for those who 
wish to discuss the mother tongue:



Aside from the graphics group, these serve peripheral interests which 
seem outside the charter of this list; most remain active and viable.

If Chipp's wonderful solution does not work for you then you might  
consider the following:


We have been doing this for our font product and it works very well.
1.  Macs can install the fonts directly from a standalone by spitting  
out the contents of a custom property to the proper location.
2.  Windows requires an installer that sets the registry properly.   
We have a standalone that spits out the installer  
(www.clickteam.com), runs it, and deletes it when it is done.


We even have a key/registration process that validates the user  
through the standalone.  It all works very well and have had no  
problems with this solution.  The fonts are installed for use by all  
applications.  They can be updated by repeating the process with a  
newer standalone.  If you would like to try it out, just e-mail me  
and I would be more than happy to provide you with a registration key  
to our fonts.

Hi Mark,

I don't think it's necessary to change any registry settings to install 
a font permanently on Windows. You just copy the font to 
C:/Windows/Fonts and you're good to go.


As I mentioned earlier, altFont installs fonts (not in the Fonts 
directory) temporarily, so that users can work with them, but not have 
them permanently installed. This is great for lots of different kind of 
applications. For instance, one could make a font viewer application, or 
an application like Suitcase, which installs and removed fonts on the fly.

Hi Chipp,

My experience on early versions of our installer revealed many  
problems for users when we just dropped the fonts into the  
directory.  Most users reported problems when the system was  
restarted.  I found the same problems on my systems over here as  
well.  Applications would just not show the fonts after the restart.   
Things got real smooth once we used an actual installer to do the  
work.  I would love to be able to remove that portion of the workload  
if we could do it reliably.

Quicktime player issue

2006-01-16 Thread Christian Langers


Hello,

I think on Windows with Rev 2.6.1 and the latest Quicktime (i think  
this occurs with other configurations too), the player component when  
hidden on a cd stops to play after about 2 secs...


I set the filename of the player to a file and wanted it to play on  
openCard ; it always stopped after about 2 secs :-(


With some experimenting I "resolved" this issue by letting the vis of  
player to true and setting its loc "outside" the cd (e.g. -15,15);


this resolved the problem ; the player went on as it should...

Strange, he ? A bug ?

Re: Quicktime player issue

Hello,

I think on Windows with Rev 2.6.1 and the latest Quicktime (i think

I set the filename of the player to a file and wanted it to play on  
openCard ; it always stopped after about 2 secs :-(


With some experimenting I "resolved" this issue by letting the vis

this resolved the problem ; the player went on as it should...

Strange, he ? A bug ?


Not a bug, fortunately just normal behavior: the visible of a player  
has to be true to work (QT "monitoring issue").

Happy you found a solution by yourself :-)
You have other solutions (just for fun)as: set the rect of the player  
to 0,-1,0,-1 :-)
On the other hand, note that if you embed the player into a hidden  
group (just an idea), it will appear when starting!

revMail, OSX 10.4.4 and Umlaute

2006-01-16 Thread R. Hillen


Hello,

On OSX 10.4.4 I´m using revMail to send some Data using the Mac-Mail- 
Programm..


After upgrading to 10.4.4. this doesn´t work. I found the cause was  
a  "german Umlaut" in the text of the subject.


revmail "[EMAIL PROTECTED]","Hier Ausfüllen","Text of Mail"

doesn´t work, but

revmail "[EMAIL PROTECTED]","Hier Ausfuellen","Text of Mail"

will be ok.

Any hints, what to do?

copy field from one stack to another

2006-01-16 Thread Bob Hartley


Hi All.

Back from my christmas holidays and forgoten everything. :)

I have one stack "Build from xdf" that has a text field called "text"> I'll
change this soon. I want to copy this to a test stack called destination.
This is dependent on a menu chioce.

I can get the button I have with the handler, to perform insertion of text
into a field depending on the menu choice (menui is om1), however, when I
make this button with the field copy script nothing happens.

Anything wrong with this?

on mouseUp
  put the selectedtext of button om1 into OM1temp
  if OM1temp is "text field" then
copy field "text" of stack "Build from XDF" to stack Destination
set the name of it to "Field1"
end if
end mouseUp

Happy new year.

Hi Mark,

I've never been able to find anywhere in the registry where a particular 
font has been installed. My understanding is there is a font table which 
is stored in memory on XP and updated when you put a font in and out of 
Windows. Perhaps the installer is doing something else, like 'touching' 
the file somehow. Is it putting it in the Fonts folder?

2006-01-16 Thread Dave Cragg


On 16 Jan 2006, at 23:02, Ben Bock wrote:

I have a timed quiz spread across several cards, each card has a  
"Next Page" button.  The quiz starts with a button.


To start the quiz, a button has:

on mouseUp
startTimer
go next
end mouseUp


The card script has:


on startTimer
send timesUp to me in 120 seconds
end startTimer

on timesUp
go card "Finish Card"
end timesUp



It's probably better to place these handlers in the stack script.  
(see below)


Here are two possible approaches:

1.

In the stack script:
---
local sTimerOn

on startTimer
put true into sTimerOn
send timesUp to me in 120 seconds
end startTimer

on timesUp
  if sTimerOn then
go card "Finish Card"
  end if
end timesUp

on NeverMind
  put false into sTimerOn
end NeverMind
--

2.

In the stack script:
---
local sTimerID

on startTimer
send timesUp to me in 120 seconds
put the result into sTimerID
end startTimer

on timesUp
go card "Finish Card"

end timesUp

on NeverMind
 cancel sTimerID
end NeverMind
--

In both cases, the two mouseUp handlers you currently have should  
work fine.


Note that it's important that the "script local" variables (sTimerID  
or sTimerOn) are declared outside the handlers. In this way they can  
be be shared by all the handlers in the stack script.

Re: Half-OT: I am not alone anymore (was Re: File/Picture Chooser Widgets available for Windows XP)

2006-01-16 Thread Bob Warren


Hi Andre,

We've "met" by e-mail before, but it was a long time ago and perhaps you 
don't remember because I was obliged to add a new e-mail service 
provider for the Use-Revolution lists ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). When 
RunRev upgraded their server last July, it couldn't manage to send stuff 
anymore to [EMAIL PROTECTED] My previous communications were from 
howsoft.com.


Thanks for the kind offer of a Mac for testing purposes. That'll be 
great - when the time comes. As I said in the original thread, my main 
purpose is to produce the widgets for Linux. I don't know much about the 
Mac file system, but I imagine that once I have the Linux version in my 
hands, the adaption to Mac will be relatively easy. The conversion to 
Linux will  take more than a few days though. These widgets are FAR from 
trivial, and it took me quite a few months to produce the Windows XP 
versions. Bear in mind though that I had never written a real Revolution 
app before. Now I've had a little practice in Rev, I just have to get 
used to Linux!


The idea of a Brazilian Revolution User Group is an interesting idea, 
but if you don't mind I would like to leave it an open question at this 
very moment. There has been a lot of discussion on the Use-Revolution 
list recently about alternative/complementary user groups/forums etc. I 
didn't participate because I considered that few people seemed to 
appreciate the important concept of "good enough". The Use-Rev list has 
its drawbacks, but it also has some wonderful advantages. From a 
Brazilian point of view, I think that it is good because it forces users 
to try and communicate in English. That said though, it is easy for me 
because English is my mother tongue. And, taking into account that there 
may be quite a number of Brazilian RR users, we seem to be the only 
Brazilians participating on the U-R list But part of my motivation 
for not wanting to participate immediately in a Brazilian Revolution 
User Group is the question of time. I am an old man who thinks and works 
slowly, and at the moment I would prefer to serve Brazil by helping the 
country move towards Linux and actually producing some fundamental 
software for it.


I live in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, which as you know is a little 
island just off the coast. Have you ever been to Floripa? Who knows, one 
year RR might decide to hold one of their meetings here, preferably near 
one of the 40 odd beaches, but avoiding carnival time at the end of 
February on account of the flow of alcohol and the sight of the tiny 
bikinis which might be slightly distracting to the gringos!


Best regards,
Bob

P.S.
>I don't have a windows machine so I didn't saw your stacks, if you 
could point us to shots would be cool!


If you are talking about screen shots, I have not yet had time to 
document the widgets properly at my site. However, very soon I hope to 
correct this and to provide the necessary screenshots. I'll let you know 
when it's ready.

Table Field

2006-01-16 Thread Scott Kane

Hi people,

I know this has got to be an easy one, but I'm
not making any progress on it.  How does one
loop through the lines (to get a column) of
a Table Field?

What I need is to loop through the lines of
a table field that I will not know the number
of lines of in advance.

Then I need to get the second column of the 
table field and put it into another field.

So far I only manage to get the first line's
column two.

TIA

The same thing happens on Mac OS X 10.4.3 here, although you need an
extra comma between the "To" address & the subject, unless you want to
specify a CC recipient.

I had a look at the script in the revCommon library and it contains
the following lines:
put urlEncode(pSubject) into pSubject
put urlEncode(pBody) into pBody
replace "+" with "%20" in pSubject
replace "+" with "%20" in pBody

I would have thought they would make it work, even with umlauts, but
in fact, when I commented them out, it all worked fine. This may be
only with later Mac systems and it may be only with Apple mail rather
than any other email client, so I would be reluctant to make the
change for an app you mean to distribute, but for your own purposes,
it should work fine.

Cheers,
Sarah

Using utf8 for the subject and message text also seems to work.

 put uniDecode(uniEncode("Hier Ausfüllen"),utf8) into tSubject
 revmail "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", tSubject,"Text of Mail"

As with Sarah's solution, I don't know what will happen with other  
mail clients. But at least you can avoid editing the rev library.
