Windows System Requirements

2008-09-28 Thread Joe Lewis Wilkins

Anyone who knows:

How old a Windows OS will run RunRev stacks with Stack Runner? 95, 98,  
2000, XP (of course), but earlier?

I'm trying to assemble system Requirements for a completed project.

TIA,

Joe Wilkins

Relaunch

2008-09-28 Thread J. Landman Gay
The docs are a little vague on one aspect of the relaunch command. I 
assumed it would only be sent if there was an existing instance of the 
standalone running, but further down in the description the docs say: 
"If there are no existing instances, the new instance will run."


Is "relaunch" sent to a standalone when there is no other instance 
running? And if so, where in the message hierarchy is it sent?

One cautionary note for newcomers:  the "delete stack" command is a 
"sometimes" command - sometimes it does what it says, other times it 
does what you want. :)


"Delete stack" doesn't delete the stack if the stack in question is a 
maintstack.  With mainstacks, it merely removes it from memory, and has 
no effect on the existence of the file on disk.


But when using "delete stack" on a substack, it will delete indeed the 
substack from the stack file, which may or may not be what you want.


This bifurcated behavior warrants some caution, at least until we get a 
true "purge" command, which seems a more sensible option when what we 
want to do is purge a stack without deleting it:



I tend to use "revert" myself, so I don't have to worry about whether 
the stack is a substack or mainstack.

re: Reloading a changed stack file

2008-09-28 Thread Stephen Barncard
The application browser needs to be manually refreshed for the latest 
info. Look for a little icon at the bottom of the scrollbar that will 
refresh the list.



After checking all the versions of my stacks, I opened the 
Application Browser and the only stacks showing were ones that had 
actually had some code run.  I was under the impression that merely 
getting custom property from a stack caused it to be loaded into 
memory but since it doesn't show, what exactly would revert revert 
to?


Also, the documentation on the revert command says that it only 
applies to the "current stack."  Since these stacks are not showing 
up in the application browser, if I later issue a "start using stack 
xyz" will it use the copy that is "hidden" in RAM, or will it reload 
a fresh copy from the hard disk?

Re: Object Reference in Variable?

2008-09-28 Thread Thomas McGrath III
This was the biggest problem with the 'science' behind the creation of  
the Ribbon. Although they used FITS law to decide placement they  
actually misinterpreted FITS law which helps decide the travel  
distance between common work flow and buttons, menus, keystrokes, etc.  
They (MS) determined FITS law applied to all mouse movements  
regardless of common sense or of consistency. When FITS law was  
created it was for keyboard layouts and menu layouts which were static  
and non changing and it did not take into account changing content and  
in fact the developers of FITS law have stated that  it is only a  
rudimentary way of judging the smoothness of movement and energy used  
but not an absolute law.


If you go through all of the tests done for the new Office UI and the  
methods used you will find tons of areas where they made decisions on  
layout and elements and made changes without regard for common sense  
and in other cases without regard for familiarity and consistency.  
That said, it is nice to see that they even took the time to study  
these things and to research the users of these things. I just wish  
they had understood the intended use of things like FITS law and  
applied them appropriately instead of just changing things to change  
things and those were based on a misinterpretation of the governing  
rules.


"If you take something like the spacebar on a keyboard which comes  
from the typewriter era. The size was determined by the common space  
between two hands resting on the home row (ASDF). This does not mean  
that all instances of a space bar need to be this size. The science  
states that it requires less energy to use in the position and size  
that it is on most keyboards with the hands resting thus, however when  
this same 'key' the spacebar is used elsewhere it does not need to be  
this size or in this place. When FITS law is misused than the space  
bar will be in this proportion and placement regardless of use. The  
spacebar on an iphone is in the same placement and proportion trying  
to maintain this but does not 'need' to be so, whereas the space bar  
on a blackberry or on an LG phone is completely different. On these  
phones they have taken into consideration that although there is a  
home row there are no fingers resting on it and in fact only a thumb  
is being used and so FITS law would require the space bar placement  
and size to require the least amount of energy movement for a thumb as  
the input source. Both Blackbery and LG decided that most people are  
right handed and therefore made the spacebar best accessible for right  
handed people. The only problem here is that the consistency of the  
spacebar 'always' resting below the qwerty keyboard has become as  
common as using toilet paper and moving it in size or placement goes  
against the common expectations of it and most people could not  
readily find the space bar on an LG phone (which is in the lower right  
corner). The question is wether or not this change is justified just  
because of FITS law or wether this should not be changed because of  
how common it is in it's normal placement."


This same argument should apply to disappearing menus and moving  
targets etc. which the Ribbon is full of. Concepts like FITS law need  
to be take in context and should never override common sense in the  
development of standards.

I'd say the Application Browser is the last place to look at for  
verifying the existence of running stacks in rev. But you are right  
about the need for a current stack to revert, but if it's the current  
stack then it's always in memory. To change the current stack, you can  
use the defaultStack property.

Revert can work. I like to use the 'delete stack' command as well for this
sort of thing. It forces the removal of a stack from memory.

if tVersionUpdated then
   delete stack tCurrentStack

That's the right solution. I ran into the same thing early in the beta 
cycle and Oliver mentioned that it was a problem they were aware of and 
are trying to fix. The issue is a conflict with some of the handlers in 
Rev's frontscripts which are necessary to run the IDE. At this point, 
the only solution is to place the breakpoint below the line that is 
causing the problem, which allows the frontscript to run and then 
debugging to continue.

FWIW, the GLX2 debugger handles this without a problem. I believe the
issue with the IDE's debugger is that the URL call is in a system
stack, so the debugger doesn't trace through it and doesn't set a
breakpoint on the following line, so execution just continues until
the end of the handler.

Visible and extra monitors.

2008-09-28 Thread Richmond Mathewson
Just uploaded to revOnline my implementation of the recent discussion about 
whether a stack is visible to the person sitting in front of the VDU:

"Visibubble" under 'Richmond'

and it works . . . except that I have 2 monitors attached to my Mac G4 
"Windtunnel"; and when I can see a stack on the the second monitor my program 
tells me it is not visible.

Bright ideas welcomed.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.

Re: Painting on an image in a group?

David, I assume you're using the paint bucket tool for the user to

I'm not quite sure why you are grouping this one image with the  
button. Why

not just have each new card created with its own image. Group the button
so it appears on all of the cards; and, perhaps, you may wish to hide  
it if or
when you want to print the painted image. Also, what are the types of  
images
you are using? Just drawn in the IDE or imported as a control image  
from files

that have been scanned or maybe photos? I've been having success with
user painting under almost all of these circumstances.

Hi Len,

What you describe may be caused by this bug:



Although I haven't investigated this in detail, I can imagine that the  
debugger causes a callback to be sent internally before the URL  
finishes loading, which means that Rev will never wait for the url to  
load. At this point, there is nothing you can do about it. Wait for  
the bug to be fixed.

If I pass the message on, what happens?  Does it purge the current 
version from memory and then load the new one?  Does it throw and 
error?  Does it go ahead and load the new version too and then decide 
which one messages will be sent to?


Is there another command or function that will purge the stack currently 
in memory and reload the new and improved version from disk?


Thanks for any clarity you can provide.

Re: Painting on an image in a group?

2008-09-28 Thread David Bovill
It's a group with one image and a button in it. AFAIK - there is no way to
do this, except be cloing the image as a card level object and painting in
that - transfering the image contents to the groups image later?

Re: How do I prevent a Key being pressed down all the time?

2008-09-28 Thread William de Smet
Hi Bernd,

You were right about the local variable.
Now it works perfectly: if you keep the arrowkey pressed down it is
only send once!

Thanks!

And yes, the race is on again!

greetings,

William

Re: Breakpoint troubles

2008-09-28 Thread Mark Schonewille

Hi Len,

I tried the following:

on mouseUp
   breakpoint
   put URL "http://economy-x-talk.com"; into tTextOfURL
   put "I made it"
end mouseUp

which worked fine. I could step line by line till the end. Is there  
anything else you did or is your script incomplete?


Is it possible that your problem is connected to this bug report:
 ?

It seems to be stopping ok at the breakpoint but when I execute the  
next line (the put URL...), it skips to end of the handler.   
Actually, to the next line of the handler that called this one.


Is there some issue with breakpoints and blocking handlers that I'm  
not aware of?


Thanks!
