somewhat OT : dumb email question

2006-06-12 Thread jbv
Hi list,

when sending an email (via a PHP script for instance), what
are the possibilities to know if the email went through or not
(the email address isn't valid anymore, etc) ?

In order to avoid cluttering this list, don't sent lengthy answers,
but only pointers to some webpages...

Thanks,

open a palette window over a modal window under OS 9

2006-06-12 Thread Chris Sheffield
I think I've found a bug in Rev, and I want to see if anyone has ever  
experienced this and if so, if there is a workaround.


I've got an application that we are supposed to release this week, so  
this is kind of urgent. In this app, I've got a main window that  
opens a stack as modal. This is so the user cannot interact with the  
main window while the other is open. But then from the modal window,  
there is a help stack that I open as a palette. This works fine under  
Windows and OS X, but under OS 9, there's a problem. The palette  
stack does not get focus when it opens, and you cannot interact with  
it at all. You can't even close it. It's like the modal stack is  
taking over, and in fact, when I click anywhere in the palette stack,  
I get the beep from the computer indicating that I can't do anything  
with it. The palette window does open over the top of the modal one,  
however. Then once I close the modal window, I can interact with the  
palette. Bug? Shouldn't it behave the same way on all platforms?


After doing some additional testing, it doesn't matter which mode I  
use for that help stack. I cannot interact with it at all from the  
modal one. Can anyone think of a workaround for this?


Thanks,
Chris

Re: open a palette window over a modal window under OS 9

2006-06-12 Thread Mark Schonewille

Hi Chris,

This is not bug. In fact, I am very happy that this works properly in  
Mac OS 9. There is no workaround that is practible and complies with  
Apple's GUI rules. In every operating system, an application should  
halt while a modal dialog is open, until the dialog closes.


I suggest you just accept that the Help window is not available, as  
Mac OS 9 users would be surprised if they could access the Help  
window while a modal dialog is open. They would consider it a bug in  
your software.


Best,

Mark

A 'bounced' email will return to the sender, often with a message  
containing Undeliverable or similar.


One trick to identify bad emails in a list is to set the Reply-To:  
and Envelope to different email addresses, so that if an actual  
person hits reply, it goes to you, but if the email bounces, it goes  
to an inbox that is periodically polled by an automated script which  
marks those emails as bad in the master list.

Of course, it is possible, but why would you do that? If you provide  
a user temporary access to other windows, you shouldn't use a modal  
window in the first place.

Yes, Chris can try shuffling modes. However, I once needed to display 
some help info from a modal stack and if I recall correctly, I simply 
displayed another modal stack, which showed on top of the other modal 
stack. Closing it, returned control properly to the other modal. This 
was several releases of Rev ago, but should still work the same.

Ideally, yes, and I'd love to see specialFolderPath well implemented for

But even if such an installer needed a DLL or external helper app, that 
wouldn't be a show-stopper.  One could compress a copy of the external 
files into the installer app, and the installer could spit them out, run 
them, and delete them when it's done.


The hard part is knowing how to interface with each of the window 
managers out there

Re: open a palette window over a modal window under OS 9

2006-06-12 Thread Chris Sheffield
Thanks, Robert. This seems to be the best bet. While I'm not thrilled  
about having to dismiss my help stack before doing anything else,  
this solution will probably be the quickest for now since I've got a  
deadline. If I had more time, I'd make the modal stack not modal, and  
then hide the other stack that I don't want the user to interact  
with. But this late in the game I'd rather not mess with it. That can  
be done in a future update.


Thanks to the rest who replied as well.

Re: open a palette window over a modal window under OS 9

2006-06-12 Thread Ken Ray
 I've got an application that we are supposed to release this week, so
 this is kind of urgent. In this app, I've got a main window that
 opens a stack as modal. This is so the user cannot interact with the
 main window while the other is open. But then from the modal window,
 there is a help stack that I open as a palette. This works fine under
 Windows and OS X, but under OS 9, there's a problem. The palette
 stack does not get focus when it opens, and you cannot interact with
 it at all. You can't even close it. It's like the modal stack is
 taking over, and in fact, when I click anywhere in the palette stack,
 I get the beep from the computer indicating that I can't do anything
 with it. The palette window does open over the top of the modal one,
 however. Then once I close the modal window, I can interact with the
 palette. Bug? Shouldn't it behave the same way on all platforms?

I have encountered the same thing, but with a different circumstance. In my
case, it is a palette that displays data that may show an alert window if a
(legitimate) error is encountered. When the modal dialog displays, it is
*under* the palette (stacking order-wise), but the titlebar of the palette
is disabled indicating that it is not the active window, but the modal
dialog's titlebar is enabled, showing that it *is* the active window.
However in my case it's kind of deadly because sometimes the modal dialog is
smaller than the palette, and so when it opens, it's *underneath* the
palette and there's nothing I can do.

I did notice that in some cases when this happens and I can see a portion of
the modal dialog window, I can click on the Finder, and then click back on
the palette, which makes it active, and then I can move it or close it.

Personally I think this is a window layering bug, so if you log it in
Bugzilla, I'll add my votes.

Hi Jack,

Of course you can reach those pictures. Choose the pointer tool,  
double-click an object, set the lockloc of the object to false if  
necessary and then move it out of the way. You can also make the card  
larger to create more room for the objects. You could also create a  
script to set the lockLoc to false:


repeat with x = 1 to number of images
  set the lockLoc of image x to false
end repeat

Ann: Revolution at the Monterey Bay Aquarium

2006-06-12 Thread Jeffrey Reynolds
I just got done revamping the old Metacard program running the Deep  
Link and Jellies shows in the auditorium of the Monterey Bay Aquarium  
to Revolution (it was MetaCard). The shows now are in all High  
Definition Video projected on a 16 foot by 9 foot screen and the  
images/video is absolutely stunning. The Revolution program provides  
over 400 HD video and still clips for the presenter to display to the  
audience to help interpret the live video being broadcast from ROVs  
in the bay. The system also provides notes to the presenter on the  
clips to help them answer audience questions.


The Deep link presentation system, while essentially the same concept  
over the last 16 years, has grown into an impressive array of  
hardware controlled by the system along with now being in HD  
resolution (uncompressed HD on a 4 terabyte server). It has also  
followed a historic litany of multimedia development systems,  
starting out being prototyped on the alpha version of colorize HC  
routines, to Toolbook (the installed system has had to be PC based  
all along), to MetaCard, and finally to Revolution. Revolution's  
TCPIP abilities allowed me to work on the debugging with my mac  
laptop sitting in the auditorium controlling things (installed  
control is all serial based), then just pop it over ot a PC app and go!


While you are at the RevCon try and stop by the aquarium to take in a  
show (and the aquarium). Unfortunately, they are running shows all  
day long now with the summer crunch so getting a Rev only glimpse  
didn't work out, but if you go up after the show there are usually a  
few minutes to get the presenter to let you take a peak at the Rev  
program running on their podium touch screen. Also be aware the  
Aquarium has expanded over the years and is hard to take in in a  
couple of hours unless you want to run. best to try and take it in  
for a couple of hours, take a break and come back later in the day to  
finish up. Wish i could be there for RevCon, but have be back in DC  
those dates.


cheers,

jeff

Start up position of Revolution menu and button bar

2006-06-12 Thread Mark Stuart
Anyone know why the startup position of Revolution's menu and button bar
would position itself not at the top left, on WinXP?

Each time I reposition it to the top left and close it, it puts itself back
where it was before - about a full height of the bar down from the top and
beyond the Tools bar, to the right.

And how do I get it to position at the top left corner each time?

 

Regards,

Mark

Re: Finding Aqua Windows interface buttons

2006-06-12 Thread Phil Davis

Hi Jack,

Here's what I did so I could see all the images.


1) Make a new stack. Set the stack script to this:
on resizeStack
 set the rect of grp 1 to the rect of this cd
end resizeStack


2) Add a button. Set its script to this (or some variation of it):
on mouseUp
 copyImages
end mouseUp

on copyImages
 put empty into tObjectList
 put the number of images of cd Graphics of stack revDocs into 
myNrOfImgs

 repeat with myImgNr = 1 to myNrOfImgs
   copy img myImgNr of cd Graphics of stack revDocs to this stack
   put it  and  after tObjectList
   set the rect of img myImgNr of this cd to the rect of ¬
   img myImgNr of cd Graphics of stack revDocs
 end repeat
 delete last word of tObjectList
 set the hScrollbar of the templateGroup to true
 set the vScrollbar of the templateGroup to true
 do group  tObjectList
 resizeStack
end copyImages


3) Click the button!
This should put all images into a group that can scroll horizontally  
vertically, and the group will remain the same size as the stack when 
you change the stack size. So you'll be able to scroll to any images 
that are located beyond the edges of the stack window.



Have fun!

Phil Davis

I maximized the screen as much as I could, but I'm not sure if there's 
anything else out of reach. I was hoping for close, minimize, and 
maximize buttons, as well as the stop/refresh button from Safari. 
Didn't find those, but thanks anyway because it's definitely a good 
start. I may end up taking screenshots if I can't figure out any other 
way of getting them.

Hi Jack,

Of course you can reach those pictures. Choose the pointer tool,  
double-click an object, set the lockloc of the object to false if  
necessary and then move it out of the way. You can also make the 
card  larger to create more room for the objects. You could also 
create a  script to set the lockLoc to false:


repeat with x = 1 to number of images
  set the lockLoc of image x to false
end repeat

Best,

Mark
