Re: Cron job w/ Rev CGI
Got it working... The tricks were: 1) path to my script was ./sitename/cgi-bin/script 2) I have to use the full pathname to the engine, e.g.: #!./sitename/cgi-bin/revolution at the start of my scripts The only remaining problem is that the server emails me every time it runs: Could not open libgdk-x11-2.0.so: libgobject-2.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory otherwise the script runs perfectly.

Re: Visibility Problem
Couple of thoughts. Try asking explicitly if the grc are visible..iow don't take the App browser's word for it. It sometimes has a difficult time updating. try in the message box: put the visible of grc "myGrc" also, to make sure you have only one grc with the name you're looking for. So try: repeat with x=1 to the number of grcs on this cd if the short name of grc x is "theOneToLookFor" then add 1 to tFoundCount end repeat answer tFoundCount ___ 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

If I understand your question, one way is to reference the card of the

export snapshot from rect (rect of btn 1 of stack myStack)
of cd 1 of stack myStack to url ("binfile:" & tPath) as PNG
Hope this helps.

You could simply put a fixed wait in, say 10 or 20 millisecs (not enough fro the user to notice, but enough for the player to sort itself out, you'll have to experiment to see what works well), or do a send in time that keeps going until the player is ready: on checkPlayer wait 10 millisecs if the formattedWidth of player "Output" > 0 then doFormatting else send "checkPlayer" to me in 10 millisecs end if end checkPlayer Best, Mark On 13 Jan 2007, at 14:49, Brad Sampson wrote: On a project I'm currently working on, I have a script that sets the fileName of a player, then runs some script that resizes the player for optimal quality.

Re: Visible Problems
Could it be that something is in front of the graphics (a background graphic or field, maybe)? If so, setting the layer of the graphics to "top" should do it. One other thought is that in very dense line graphics, if the antialiased of them is set to true, they can sometimes antialias themselves into invisibility, so you could try setting the antialiased of them to false.

I couldn't agree more with the points the author makes. In almost every professional job I've done, the client says they will test the software themselves. This is usually disasterous. No one seems to recognize that the testing process should take as long as the development process and should be an integral part of the budget and schedule. Few realize the kind of talent and precision that goes into professional software testing. I am lucky enough to have a wonderful professional QA person who works with me when the client's budget allows it. I understand the author's comments about "hurting the developer's feelings" -- I always knew when my tester was at work because my mailbox would fill up with bug reports. My response was always a love/hate thing. I loved that he was so good at what he does and that he was finding flaws, because in the long run it would make my work much better. But I also hated that he was finding flaws because it meant more work for me. Every time I'd see another 20 reports in my mailbox my heart would sink. And then I'd have to go fix things again. But he's a great guy, and we're both pros, and we are able to easily separate critique from criticism. As a result, my last project was one of the best of my career. Note that this client originally told me he'd test it himself. He found three or four bugs over a couple of weeks. I insisted that we needed a professional QA engineer. Once my QA guy got his hands on it, he found 165 bugs. The client was astounded -- and grateful. There is a skill and talent involved in software testing, and not everyone has what it takes to do it well. The developer certainly doesn't, and the client rarely does either. A qualified, professional QA person is pure gold, and if you find a good one you should do whatever it takes to hang on to them. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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

Some thoughts on testings...
I recently had been forced to move all my files to my ibook and make it my main computer while I figure out what to do with my old iMac G4 LCD dying...while doing so, I came across a file I saved and thought it important to post on the list in light of the open beta of 2.7.5...read slowly: Subject: Should Testers Be Allowed to Do Their Job? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Edward V. Berard) Date: Tue, 01 Aug 1995 07:35:23 -0400 Should testers be allowed to do their job? Before I can answer that, I need to define a few terms: - To slightly paraphrase Glen Myers (author of "The Art of Software Testing"), testing is the process of examining some material with the intention (or goal) of finding errors. The "material" can include the material produced during the development part of the software life- cycle (e.g., the products of the analysis, design, and coding efforts), and the specifications for the test cases themselves. - Testing is a comparison process. Specifically, it compares one set of material (e.g., object code) with some correspondingly related material (e.g., the specification for that object code). Symptoms of errors are detected when what is expressed in one set of material does not agree with what is expressed in its corresponding material. (It is not the job of the tester to find the exact source of the error. That is the job of the creator (developer) of the material.) - To be considered minimally adequate, the testing effort would have to detect the symptoms of all critical errors, and the symptoms of most, if not all, of the symptoms of all other errors. I propose that the job of the tester is to do at least minimally adequate testing, as defined above. Consider the following (unfortunately true) story. A few years ago, I was teaching a testing course at a firm that made implantable medical devices, e.g., pacemakers. Modern pacemakers not only contain software, but they are also programmed, monitored, and adjusted by systems that contain software. The people in the class were charged with testing the software associated with pacemaker systems. - During the class, the students were required to specify test cases for software. Part of any test case is the purpose for that test case. One of the students insisted that "the purpose of test case xyz is to _prove_ _that_ _some_ _particular_ _function_ _is_ _accomplished_." When I informed this person that, while this may have been the goal of the developer of the software, the goal of the tester was exactly the opposite. - Later, in the same class, one of the testers noted that developers "felt bad" when they were informed of errors in the software products for which the developers were responsible. The tester said that she felt it was part of her job to provide some encouragement to the developers. Other testers admitted that they were often uncomfortable with being "the bearers of bad bad news" (i.e., reports of errors). I was astonished. Was the ego of the developers more important than the health of the patients using the implanted medical devices? Were testers also required to be "psychological counselors" for the developers? Were both the testers and the developers aware of the negative impact on testing created by the reluctance of the testers to "make the developers feel bad?" Should testers be allowed to do their job? Based on my experience over the past 15 years, the answer to that question in most shops is" "up to a point." - Managers, developers, and testers often cannot distinguish between a _social_ situation and a _business_ situation. In a _social_ context, I would agree that people must seriously consider whether it is worthwhile to point out "problems." Specifically, one must weigh the feelings of the individuals involved against any "improvements" that might result from bringing a problem to light. In a business situation the rules change. The parties to a business arrangement are supposed to be aware of the terms and conditions of the business arrangement, and are required to act accordingly. One should _expect_ testers to find symptoms of errors. That is their job. Further, testers that routinely do not uncover symptoms of serious errors are not performing their jobs successfully. When a tester informs a developer of the symptoms of the errors he or she has uncovered, the tester is _not_ making a statement about the basic goodness or badness of the developer as a human being. The tester _is_ making a statement about some material for which the developer is responsible. - The time, staff, and other resources that are allocated to developers are often woefully inadequate. However, the time, staff, and resources that are allocated to the testing effort are, by in large, a joke. In all my years of training and consulting, I have run across fewer than 3 organizations that had anything even appro

Re: Force interrupt
Jim,
I believe you gave me the clues I needed. It looks like the way we
used the Send command in a few places was the problem.
Thanks!

I wish it was a repeat loop, but if it was, it would certainly occur
on all the computers we're testing on... or at least regularly on the

computers and only occurs sometimes on some of them in the exact same
spot. In other words, moving from a given card to another card will
sometimes trigger the problem, and other times it won't. I can't see
how that you be a problem with a repeat loop.
Ahh, that is a bit trickier.
The way it might be a repeat loop is that 'on opencard or closecard
handlers
will contain a repeat loop or trigger one. Another possibility is
that
there is a 'send' that has a pending message which depends on the
current
card will trigger and the new card is missing some required info.
If this is not the case, then it could be something about the
operating
system or path names on the hard drive. One example would be
reading a file
into a variable, and if the path or file name was incorrect, the
variable
would be empty and the program expects something to be there.
--eg.
put lineoffset(the short id of this card, idListOfLinkedCards) into
pos
--where pos is 0 and you are expecting a positive integer
Perhaps you could install a 'on closecard' handler in the back and
trap for
the particular condition in the 'exact spot', such as 'if the id of
this
card is 2343 then breakpoint'.
What you are experiencing is my least favorite bug to track down.
The technique I resort to is writing a log file to produce an audit
trail,
especially in my networking software that operates on different
computers
and runs asynchronously. Very difficult to isolate the bugs.
--example ---
put tab into t
put the short date into dateStr
replace "/" with empty in dateStr
get dateStr & t & the short time
get it & t & var1 & t & var2 & t & var3 & t & the short id of this
card
put (it & cr) after url ("file:"& dateStr&"logOut.txt")
--now if the force quit is necessary, the log file will have the last
successful handler call as the last line of the logOut file. The
tabs are
so that Excel can be used to open the file for analysis.
Be careful of very large logOut file sizes of > 2 Mb. Slower
performance
issues, but not crashing. I have had 34 Mb log files by accident
and only
saw slow perfomance.
Hope this helps

Re: BUG: importing image files crash rev 2.7.5
Hi Andre, Whenever I imported an image with transparency, either PNG or GIF, Rev 2.7.5 beta 1 crashed (this version should equal 2.7.5-dp-2). Images without transparency would sometimes import correctly and sometimes not.

Bill or RunRev team, am I doing something wrong running 2.7.5-dp-1? is it illegal somehow? It did not expired for me, I've updated during RevCon Malta after the team asked for our impressions...
