Re: MD4 Function translated from Director to Runrev
Alejandro, if you have openssl installed on your computer, you can use it to do md4, md5, sha1 and others as shell calls. Having written a Revolution implementation of the sha1 digest, I think it's true to say that if you want to get the digest for whole files and stacks, this sort of digest function is likely to be very slow in a high-level language like Revolution, so you might be better off using the (very fast) openssl tools if you can.

Re: GLX2 new feature when working with SQLite databases and database query builder
Thanks for the explanation. So GLX2 changed my default folder without notifying me. That's interesting. When it happens and the empty database gets created in there it makes RunRev use nearly all the processor cycles and slow to a crawl. If you use the database query builder then the database has to be in the default folder so thanks very much for the suggestion on setting the defaultFolder. ___ 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

GLX2 creates that folder, but there is no reason for it to move your
database. I expect what happened was that the defaultFolder was
changed to this workspaces folder and your database was saved assuming
the defaultFolder was the same as before. Looking at the oath your
were using before, it appears that you were always using the default
folder as the database was being saved in your Revolution application
folder.
How about when creating and using your database, you specify the path
yourself, and put it somewhere more logical e.g. Documents folder,
Preferences folder, Application Support folder (I don't know what the
database is for, so you will have to decide the location yourself).
Try something like this:
put specialFolderPath("Documents") & "/shipping.sqlite" into
tDBA["FilePath"]
Or if you want to use the defaultFolder:
set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath("Documents")
If you use the defaultFolder method, you need to make sure it is set
each time, as any other stack or plugin might have changed it.
HTH,
Sarah

A problem with (french) accents in 2.9
Hi, Mac OS X 10.5.2 I have the following lines in the script of a stack, I developped with 2.8.1 : - put unidecode(the unicodetext of fld "tempo","UTF8") into theBody revMail fld "address",,"theObject",theBody fld "tempo" contains french language.

OT: News flash: Eudora users and Forking Resources
I know there are a few diehard Eudora users out there on this list, struggling with it breaking big time under Leopard. apparently OSX 10.5 is not updating resource forks properly anymore, and many Eudora clients are set up to use them for their TOC. What a mess. This is why the windoze users didn't have a problem with this aging app. In the days of HC, I remember resource forks being the coolest thing - you could hide xcmds, xfcns, text, pictures, code, anything there, and ResCopy and ResEdit being essential tools for stack building. The symptoms include subject lines in listing not matching actual messages, headers missing, wonky sorting, nonsense listings. If you still want to keep using Eudora under Leopard, I'd suggest clicking the checkbox in settings that says "Use Old Style ".TOC" files.". It keeps the files neat and tidy, but I remember a long time ago at the introduction of OSX that resource files would be not supported in the future. Yet it was a default to use resource forks for TOC with new versions of Eudora for OSX. I wish I had known this before upgrading to Leopard. Some messages appear unrecoverable. I'm about to check the resource fork functions in rev...(yes they're still there) I assume they're there for legacy reasons. sqb -- stephen barncard s a n f r a n c i s c o - - - - - - - - - - - - ___ 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

Not only that, you'll receive a free copy of Revolution Media, a $49 value, just for attending. Participants in the full conference receive the DVD and a copy of Revolution Studio, a $649 value in total. The DVD offer and Early Bird discount expires on March 31, though. So act soon! After that the DVD costs $249.

GLX2 new feature when working with SQLite databases and database query builder
I just changed the subject I just updated to GLX 2.1b40 and it did something (automatically) that I realize now is very cool but which caused me some consternation. It made a GLX2 Work Spaces folder in the "My Revolution Studio" folder and put an empty copy of my SQLite database there. This caused all kinds of problems since it was an empty copy (maybe it should have notified me with an error message). I had to figure this out and move the database from the location where it had been before (and a not very good location but the only place I could get it to work in the past -- inside the application folder for RunRev). Now all my calls using RunRev's built in Database query manager work fine but none of my manual calls which require registering SQLite with a file path that I have been using but not really liking like so: put "/Applications/Revolution_Studio/2.8.1-gm-3/shipping.sqlite" into tDBA["FilePath"] I'd much rather the file path to SQLite was automatic to a nice folder like GLX2 just did for me. So I'm writing this to warn other users of GLX2 about this new feature and I'm hoping someone that knows this stuff will tell me a better way to say put "/Users/administrator/Documents/My\ Revolution\ Studio/Plugins/GLX2\ Work\ Spaces/shipping.sqlite" into tDBA["FilePath"] for the SQLite stuff I'm doing without using RunRev's built in Database Query Builder. Ideally there would just be a call to whatever GLX2 figured out.

Re: On-line error parsing tool
Hi Richard, Thanks for the kind words and the explanations :-) To me, it looks like the engine makes a list of errors that could have happened. If the error had occurred at an earlier stage in the script, the list would have been shorter. If x in your example had been a function, the list would have been longer. I find this useful, because it tells me the path I need to follow to get to the object and script that caused the error, which sometimes helps me understand a script and the cause of the error. If the handler DoX actually had not existed, the list of errors would have ended at your line 5. Since it exists, line 4 tells you which object contains the handler and you already explained the lines before that one. You might consider the errors an extended form of the executionContexts.

Thanks Eric. It's a little more complicated than I had first thought. I've been noticing some erratic performance as I experiment with this; for example, after saving a script, the cursor continues to be a wristwatch instead of turning back to the I-beam. I have to use the message box to unlock the cursor again, so I can see there is a possibility of screwing things up with this.

You can lock and unlock the cursor. See corresponding entries in the dictionary by specifying 'cursor' for instance. Now as for your problem: I assume that when the cursor has to change it's related to some event in any case: interactivity :-) So you have many ways to set the cursor: at mouseEnter in an area, if the mouse is down, etc. And to unlock it using other events: mouseLeave, etc. Hope this helps.
