How to embed fonts using 2.8.2-gm3

2007-12-27 Thread Tim Lambert
I've done a search but I can't see how this is done - ie the 'docs'  
are for v2.7. I am developing on Mac for a principal target of  
windoze XP. On the windoze platform all the fonts I used in the Mac  
convert to piddly little arial type fonts of one size.


If anyone knows of a tutorial I would be most grateful.
TIA

Tim

Re: icon editor

2007-12-27 Thread Mark Schonewille

Hi,

Iconographer makes ico files with corrupt backgrounds.  
Iconographer's  icns files for Mac OS X are great, its ico files are  
not. If you can run Windows, use IcoFx, the free icon editor: icofx.xhost.ro/>


Best regards,

Iconographer can do that too. Just load your OS X icon file and save

Re: Help - Building standalone on windows errors with Can't open Stackfile...

2007-12-27 Thread Andre Garzia
Hello Steve,

strange thing! :D

Why don't you fetch Rev 2.5.1 again from Revolution FTP server,
reinstall it and try again. I fear that maybe you broke some of the
rev's own stacks... I don't know for sure but this error 0,0 is the
beginning of a revolution error. A clean install might do the trick.

Re: How download revolution 2.9 beta ?

Bonjour Espace,

On your revolution copy go to 'help' menu and click the 'check for
updates', this should return that 2.9.0-dp-3 is available then you
just follow the instructions.

Re: sync a local folder with a ftp folder

2007-12-27 Thread Andre Garzia
Matthias,

there are many recipes for sync, it all amounts on how perfect you
want your sync to be. Changed files probably have a different
timestamp and different size then their server siblings, so one way is
to compare both size and timestamp. You can do that by FTP by using
the libURLFtpCommand() call. The SIZE ftp command should return the
size of the file in bytes, not all servers understand this command,
you need to try. As for finding the date, this is a little trickier. I
don't recall FTP having a command to return the time stamp of the
file, some FTP servers will return the time stamps as a part of the
LIST command but parsing those is not trivial as they differ from
system to system, mostly they look like the output of 'ls -l' on a
unix machine.

If anyone here remmebers how to the get a date from a file using the
command line, you can try to pass that command to the FTP server using
the SITE command which is like the shell() call used in rev, for
example, FTP has not way to set file attributes but with something
like:

   libURLFTPCommand("SITE CHMOD 755 myfile", "ftp.example.com")

you can set the attributes to 755. I don't know if SITE will accept
anything, this could be a security risk as someone could issue 'SITE
killall ftpd' and if he has the correct perms he would shutdown the
server.

If I can tell you a simple advise, I'd go like this, I'd make a file
that is an index and holds metadata information about the files, this
file would contain the size and modification dates for the files, so
to sync, I'd download this index file and compare it with the local
copy. When syncing, I'd generate a new up to date index file and
upload it. Much easier than handling SITE, SIZE and the like.

How download revolution 2.9 beta ?

Hello !

I sign up for the beta test of revolution 2.9, two weeks ago at  
http://support.runrev.com/beta_test.php
I've only received the "Welcome to the Revolution Beta Test Program"  
mail.


No news since...

It's a "bug" or it's normal ?

sync a local folder with a ftp folder

2007-12-27 Thread runrev260805
Hi,

i have to sync a local folder with about 5000 files with a ftp folder.
If a new file is in the local folder or if a file has changed it has to be 
uploaded to the ftp folder.

Okay, if i only had to upload new files, i could compare the files of the local 
and the remote folder. But i also have to upload changed files.
Problem here is, that files stored on the ftp shows their modification 
date/time with 1 hour difference. 

Has anyone done such sync things already?

Matthias

Re-2: Where and how do you store SQL command

2007-12-27 Thread runrev260805
Thanks for the suggestions.

For now, i will use a text field in a hidden stack.

But for the future version of my app, which will  allow the user to select the 
field/rows, which should be selected from MS SQL server , i will use custom 
properties.

All the best,

Matthias
