Re: Drawers
Mike, What version of Rev are you using? I thought this was a problem with some of the 2.7.x versions but perhaps it was the OS version. It was reported as a bug. I also seem to remember that using the exact language from the Rev Documentation Dictionary solved a problem for me where I created a drawer but the drawer wandered away when the parent was moved. -Scott Morrow On Apr 13, 2007, at 7:01 PM, Mike Hughes wrote: Hi Ken and Mark, I prefer not to use drawers typically but an instance came up where using one would be perfect. I did a little more playing around with the drawer command and noticed that on Tiger the problems I mentioned don't happen. On my Panther box, I cannot move around a drawer's parent stack without the drawer disappearing. Mark, do you think your recollection of this problem may have been associated with using Panther?

Odd behaviour from revMail, why?
Sounds like it would be best to roll your own by sending a command to the shell. If you can control the platform its running on, this will be reliable and do exactly what you specify?

Dialing with Rev
Hello, Which well-working solutions do currently exist to make Revolution directly dial a phone number for talking, faxing and connecting to other computers?

Checking for a Dial Tone
I am currently working on a little utility that will keep a web site informed of whether or not all the phone lines at a business are currently open. All the utility needs to do is check with the modem to see if there is a dial tone on the phone, as the phone will automatically take the modem to the next available line. I have no idea what commands to send to the modem, nor what responses to look for, or even how to get the response. Is there any way for me to check for a Dial Tone in Revolution?

Access Spotlight comments Mac OS X
Folk, I just downloaded the application tagbot. Tagbot adds one or more entries to the Spotlight Comments of a file or folder.

Re: Access Spotlight comments Mac OS X
Burrton, you can do that with applescript from Rev. check the following command: do As applescript. the applescript for that is something like tell application Finder to return the comment of file the file of folder the folder of disk startup disk 1 end tell and yes, there are easier way to reference files in applescript but I don't know it :-) andre On Apr 14, 2007, at 3:47 PM, Burrton Woodruff wrote: Folk, I just downloaded the application tagbot.

OT Applescript utility for Photoshop
Since there are Mac users who build Applescript tools to add to their workflow while using Rev, I thought I would mention a two-part utility that I just put together for my workflow. I am using Rev to manipulate images and to direct Photoshop actions. Part 1 - writes a text file that contains the full path of each open document in Photoshop to the desktop. Part 2 - reads a text file and opens the list of documents in Photoshop. Actually, it tells the Finder to open the document in the default app, and in this case, PS is the default app. Part 1 is an app that I run using a double-click. It writes a file named PShopSession.txt to the desktop, and I can then rename it if I wish. Part 2 is a drag-drop app that will read the text file dragged, then open the listed documents in Photoshop. If Photoshop is not launched, it will be launched. My goal is to have several of these text files that point to my library of images and icons. It is very easy to create a collection by opening the images in Photoshop, running Part 1, then rename the text file to what you wish and moving it into a folder of your choice. Contact me off list if you are interested and I can send you the code and the apps.

revMail bug report
I reported this as a bug, #4693. But if anyone wants to do emailing in anger on Linux, the right thing is probably to use the shell mail command, which is documented at http://www.onlamp.com/linux/cmd/cmd.csp?path=m/mail. Its easy to see why mailto will not work very reliably if you have a couple different clients installed. Just start up a terminal and invoke them with --help. You see that the list of options is wildly different from one client to another. I experimented with kmail and sylpheed, which was enough to convince. Which is why revMail should not use an email client at all, let alone mailto, and there is no need when you have the shell available. Or maybe just eliminate revMail from the Linux version, and tell people to pass a command to the shell and use mail. Looking forward to a couple of hours struggling with options to get this one to work Peter ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Bootcamp and Parallels (was ugly fonts)
On Apr 11, 2007, at 10:50 AM, Bill Marriott wrote: BTW: The best way (IMHO) to set up Parallels is to create a Boot Camp partition first (being sure to install Apple's drivers), then instruct Parallels to re-use that partition for its virtual machine while running in Mac OS X. This way, you have access to the native environment when you need it, and you can compare to see whether a problem (such as the display issue you're encountering) is due to Parallels or just the way it is in Windows. I've downloaded Bootcamp. Also found Chipp Walter's excellent post about how to install Parallels to use the Bootcamp partition (Nabble's interface is nice, BTW... first time I've used it... http:// www.nabble.com/Parallels-Desktop-tf3256305.html#a9086751 ). This is the same idea as you are suggesting, correct? Given that I already have Parallels installed and XP Home running within it, what should I proceed to do? Do I need to remove Parallels and XP and start over, or what is the proper procedure? This is all somewhat confusing, especially for one as unacquainted with the Windows world as I am.
