Re: Packages
Mark, Your solution seems like a winner, except for the newly created and empty folder situation. Jacque, Here's one example: I've got a product that resizes graphics, but I don't want them to 'go into' a package and find and resize the graphics there. How to know if you're in a 'package' or 'bundle'? I suppose this whole thing started when I commented what a pain when Klaus announced the existence of more than just app bundles. Others responded by pointing out the benefits of bundle/packages, and my answer was 'it's still a pain for us programmers.' Appears I'm not too far off base ;-) OT: Gmail does a great job of handling threads in forums like this one. For me it's simple to view an entire thread. ___ 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
Re: Packages
It's definitely a pain for Rev programmers until a general and reliable isPackage() function or somesuch is available. I don't think any of the things discussed so far will give a definitive answer as to the packageness of a folder. Checking .suffixes will work, but the list of suffixes probably can't be exhaustive, the absence of a .DS_Store is not reliable (a package that has been a regular folder may well have one, a regular folder may not have one), and the presence of /Contents/PkgInfo or /Contents/ Info.plist is also not guaranteed ( though the only packages I've seen so far without a pkgInfo or info.plist are .rtfd and .band ). Definitely a pain. Perhaps this should be an enhancement request in the qa centre?

It's been a bit of a journey, hasn't it :) Anyway, I've added the suggestion for an 'isPackage()' function to 5549.

Re: Standalone Text Field problem for WindowsXP
Hi Ken, I believe I mentioned in a subsequent posting that what you suggest WAS the case; however, fixing that still did not fully resolve the problem. My biggest question regarding that subject is: How in the devil did the menubar get way up there in the first place? I sure didn't put it there when it was created. That has me stumped. Thanks, anyway. Joe Wilkins On Dec 9, 2007, at 12:12 AM, Ken Ray wrote: On Fri, 7 Dec 2007 23:40:24 -0800, Joe Lewis Wilkins wrote: As it turns out, much of the missing text is actually there.

Re: Packages
Finally, here is my attempt at a workaround: function isPackage pFolder -- first check for presence of PkgInfo if char -1 of pFolder is / then delete char -1 of pFolder if there is a file (pFolder /Contents/PkgInfo) then return true -- if still here, then check suffix put bundle,app,pages,numbers,key,band,rtfd into suffixList -- this needs filling out! repeat with n = length(pFolder) down to 1 if char n of pFolder is . then delete char 1 to n of pFolder exit repeat end if end repeat if pFolder is among the items of suffixList then return true -- would check the bundle bit, but don't know how! return false end isPackage function thePackages -- works like 'the files/folders' ie. you have to set the directory, but call with get thePackages() put the folders into foList repeat for each line L in foList if isPackage(L) then put L cr after tList end repeat return char 1 to -2 of tList end thePackages Best, Mark On 9 Dec 2007, at 15:56, Mark Smith wrote: It's been a bit of a journey, hasn't it :) Anyway, I've added the suggestion for an 'isPackage()' function to 5549.

Standalone error message problem
Hello everyone: Even though I built standalones using Rev 2.8.1 before, all of a sudden I'm getting the error message You don't have one of the selected engines. Then the standalone building process stops. I can't find any reference to this in the docs. This does not happen when I build a standalone of the same stack in Rev 2.9 beta 9. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Rev 2.9 button problem
Hello everyone: When I build a standalone using Rev 2.9 beta 9, my rectangle buttons will neither play a sound nor move according to the scripts below, even though they work perfectly in the IDE. on mouseDown -- in the button script moveButtons end mouseDown - on moveButtons -- in the main stack script set the playloudness of audioClip Click 3.aif to 50 play audioClip Click 3.aif move the target relative 2,2 in 4 ticks move the target relative -2,-2 in 4 ticks end moveButtons Usually the button script (other included commands) will function, but sometimes not. I filed a bug report about this with quality control, but now I'm wondering if anyone else has observed this problem, or could try to duplicate it in the 2.9 beta. Thank you.

Re: Rev 2.9 beta 9 script editor problem
Hi Paul, RunRev knows about this problem. See Bug # 5542. The problem is the drag-copy operation was inadvertently mapped to the Command (apple) key on OS X instead of the option key.

Re: start player with rtsp://...
On Dec 7, 2007, at 3:58 AM, Richard Miller wrote: Mark, As I recall, I had the same problem and discovered I needed to create a new, identical player (by script), and delete the old player, every time I needed the player to play an rtsp url. Then the start player command would work fine. Before creating the new player, of course, the script should keep track of all the relevant information about the previous player (rect, borders, alwaysbuffer, showController, etc.) so it can seamlessly create a new player without the user seeing what is happening. Yes... this is a workaround for a bug. Hi Richard, I will take a workaround over just the bug any day. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll give it a try and see how it goes.
