 Hey guys and gals,

 I just downloaded 2.6.1, transferred it to my Classic Mac running 9.2.2

Of course, I was only showing root examples. Rev not being able to load 
ico files does slow down the whole idea anyway!



I think Colin and Mark are both right... Microsoft 'invented' the favicon, in 
typically bull-in-a-china-shop manner; some version of IE was released that 
just unilaterally checked for /favicon.ico at the top level of any site for 
which a page was bookmarked - initially of course just the sites they 
controlled got a special icon, so people wanted to get this treatment, figured 
out what was happening, and started adding the file to their sites.  Soon 
every browser was checking for every page they displayed, causing vast numbers 
of 404 errors to site operators everywhere.


Eventually some responsible grown-ups introduced a more sensible and flexible 
scheme, by which a page can specify an icon to be associated with it; allowing 
both the URL and the file format to be varied, and also allowing different 
pages on the same site to have different icons.  But the genie was out, and I 
think (on very little evidence) that this is used by a tiny minority of sites; 
and most of those will just do belt-and-braces, and point at a standard 
favicon.ico at the top level.


Re not being able to load the ico files: it's a pretty straightforward format 
(no compression) and widely documented - should be easy to convert into an image.

question about find and replace

2008-09-30 Thread Peter Alcibiades
How do you pad out a series of numbers with leading zeros?  Like for instance 
the series is

.1.
.2.
.3.
.11.
.42.
.98.

and you want them to be

.001.
.002.
.003.
.011.
.042.
.098.

I know how to find them, using the fact that they appear as shown between 
two . characters,  but then I don't know how to use regular expressions to 
put part of what has been found back along with the padding zeros.  Or should 
you not be trying to use regex at all?  I seem to recall something about look 
ahead and greediness but never really understood it, is this relevant?

Re: debugging log engine build request

2008-09-30 Thread Bernard Devlin
No, unfortunately there is no clear pattern.  I'm definitely not doing a lot
of work with images (barely an image in any of my work).  The crashes on
Windows mostly happened over a 3 month period using mostly one stack (and
its substacks).  As I'm not prepared for that work to be viewed by others
(confidentiality issues), I cannot send that stack to Runrev.  At the
beginning of August I sent the Windows crash reports for July to Runrev, but
they were inconclusive.

The Linux crashes last week are on a totally new and unrelated project.
 Hence my suggestion for this enhancement to the engine.

As I've seen how large my message log can get in a matter of hours (despite
them being in a condensed format that's about 10-20% of verboseLog.txt), I
doubt that the Windows crash logs contain a replay log.

Hi Peter,

Here's a possibility. Perhaps someone can come up with a shorter  
version.


constant dot = .

function formatDottedNumbers
  set the numberformat to 000
  set the itemDel to dot
  repeat for each line myLine in myData
put dot  item 2 of myLine * 1  dot  cr after myNewData
  end repeat
  return char 1 to -2 of myNewData
end formatDottedNumbers

I believe regex is great to find data, but you can't use it to find  
and edit all instances of a search pattern, if all new values have to  
be different.

You can use the format function.  For example:

  answer format(%03s,1)

will display 001 (the 3 means pad with zeros to 3 places).  So if the
decimal points in your number series are intentional, you could make a
function like:

 function padNumbers pSeries
repeat for each line tNum in pSeries
  put .  format(%03s,char 2 to -2 of tNum)  .  cr after newSet
end repeat
   return newSet
 end padNumbers

I do, in fact, like the syntax -- it transfers both the image and alphaData
to the grouped image in one action.


 oh and where's the script to select the paint tools

See the card script.  You won't need this but I used a mouseMove handler to
automatically show/hide the proxy image and switch the tools.  When you are
painting in the demo stack, you are painting in the proxy image; when the
mouse moves outside the image rect, the proxy image is hidden and its data
is transferred to the grouped image.

BTW, an opaque object is required here to define the limits of the active
paint region, which is why a graphic with noop ink is positioned behind the
group.  Mouse tracking will not work on a transparent object (ie. an image
with no paint in it).

We did indeed have some problems years ago, for which we reimbursed the
customers affected at the time. However generally our shipping operation has
been running smoothly since then.

The cause of the exception with this particular conference DVD was rather
more complex: when we got deep into editing all the video capture data it
became clear that some of the sessions had not been supplied to us by the
all the presenters who were screen capturing them. Some of the sessions we
had did not play back properly either due to a couple of different data
corruption issues. Its been a long process and we've had to work both on the
technical side and with the presenters to put all that right. Everyone has
been really helpful and we now have pretty much a complete DVD which truly
will be shipping any day now. I do apologize for the obvious inconvenience
in this delay. I asked those affected to write to support because we have
been keeping individual customers in the loop and did offer a coupon to
those affected.

A proactive email to all those folks, explaining the delay (and giving

message box history - confused

2008-09-30 Thread Bernard Devlin
In trying to track down these crashing bugs, I've noticed something strange
about the MB history. Whilst working in 3.0 on Linux today it crashed.  I
decided to try to use my MessageLog to see if it could help determine
precisely what was happening before the crash.  However, rather than process
the log using 3.0 I started 2.9 (in the hope that it wouldn't crash whilst I
was trying to find the information).  When I started 2.9 I saw (to my
surprise) that the MB contained the last command I used on 3.0.  I had
noticed that when 3.0 has crashed before, on restart the MB history
contained the last few commands that I'd used before the crash.  That
puzzled me and I entered into the bug report.  I would not expect the MB
history to contain any command issued since Rev was last quit (i.e. the last
orderly shutdown of Rev).  I'd assumed that maybe this meant that Rev was
not crashing but just quitting, and in the process was saving the MB
history.

But this new behaviour (well, new to me) looks like the MB history is being
shared between both 2.9 and 3.0.  If I had the standard installation, where
someone had upgraded to Rev 3.0 from 2.9 (using check for updates), I might
understand that Rev was saving the MB history.  But since I'm running two
independent installations of Rev, I'm confused by the MB history being
shared.

Is this normal?  And if so, how is it that Rev is sharing this history?
I've checked for hidden (dot) files in my Linux user directory, and there
are none there that seem to be associated with this.

Re: I cannot paste in any field in an app (consisting of up to 7 stacks)

2008-09-30 Thread Malte Brill

hi,

may sound stupid. Have you tried adding a menubar that has an edit  
menu to the main stack? If not could you try and see if you can paste  
then? If so I might be close to a godzilla report.


Cheers,

Malte

Franz,

This may not be it - you don't say whether you can do other typing in the 
fields - but I've been utterly stumped in the past by fields that I can only 
edit using the property inspector (or otherwise programmatically).  I finally 
tracked it down to the autoHilite property - this is presented on the first 
tab of the property inspector for fields, and the documentation on it is very 
clear, so I don't really have an excuse - but the behaviour has nothing to do 
with the name, so it's nonetheless very confusing.


The effect of autoHilite on a button is exactly what you'd expect.  The effect 
on a field is that if this property is false, you/the user can't select the 
text or set the insertion point - and hence can't type or paste into the 
field.  (Depending on the 'focusable' property - you may still be able to tab 
into the field.)


This may have nothing to do with your problem, but it's worth checking.

Re: OT Font Question

2008-09-30 Thread Devin Asay


On Sep 29, 2008, at 10:31 PM, Mark Swindell wrote:


Devin,

Thanks for the link.  I'm actually after something that I think may
not exist.  It would be similar in function to an IPA font, but with
regular English character pairs whose kerning would be reduced so that
they would represent a single visual unit, mirroring how they
represent sound.  Good would be G oo d and shallow would be sh
a ll ow.  It would require tweaking the kerning between digraph
letter pairs and dipthongs to tighten them up, while keeping regular
spacing between these double letters, single letters, and words.

I'm not sure it's worth the trouble to create, but in teaching I find
that some children have a difficult time seeing that sh for example,
is not s h but rather its own phonetic unit.  (A parallel: until
fairly recently, ch was the fourth letter of the Spanish alphabet,
though it was never represented with tighter kerning... I think the
Real Academia might have done away with that one, as well as the ll,
at least for purposes of alphabetizing.  (Wikpedia: In 1994, it ruled
that the Spanish consonants CH (ché) and LL (elle) would hence be
alphabetized under C and under L, respectively, and not as separate,
discrete letters, as in the past.)

The idea was to be able to present text to kids written with these
combinations emphasized while retaining a somewhat natural look.



Mark,

Clever idea, but you're probably right--it seems unlikely that someone  
would have created such a specialized font. I guess if I were going to  
do something similar I'd use color or style differences to show the  
letter combinations. Or I supposed you could use Photoshop or some  
other tool that will let you play with the kerning. Of course with PS,  
you're stuck with only the words you create beforehand.


This is a place where the old Mac compressed font style would come in  
handy!

Along these lines, if you want your field to be editable, the

represents a different reason why you might not be able to type in a  
field:


the lockText - obvious
the traversalOn - (controlled by the Focusable checkbox) if false,  
prevents you from focusing on the field with mouse or tab key
the autoHilite - if false, prevents user from clicking to select text  
or an input cursor. I believe you can still tab to the field however.

Classic Stack

2008-09-30 Thread Joe Lewis Wilkins

For those of you who may find this interesting:

After Saving my 3.0 stack as a Legacy Revolution Stack, I was able to  
open it using 2.6.1 and run it using the included DreamCard Player.  
There were only a couple of very minor things that will need fixing.  
The new Alex Mac voice was not available when running 9.2.1 and the  
stack is close by clicking in the upper left hand corner rather than  
being able to utilize Quit from the File menu. Not sure if that will  
eventually be fixed or not.


It appears that I need to do something so that the Players play the  
sound clips using this version. Anyone know what might be the problem?  
The Player objects can be seen in the Inspector, but they don't appear  
the same as they do in 3.0, so some change with them must have been  
made.


TIA,

Joe Wilkins

You can make a stub handler to route revGoURL to the new launch URL 
command - just add this to the stack script:


on revGoUrl pUrl
  launch url pUrl
end revGoURL


I'm surprised Rev hasn't maintained compatibility for their handler, but

at your convenience and I'll replace the one at revJournal.com.

Simple brute force method is:

put length(theNumber) into theNumberLength
if theNumberLength  5 then
   get zero
   if theNumberLength  4 then get zero  zero
   put it after char 1 of theNumber
end if

same -- a bit less efficient but shorter:

if length(theNumber)  4 then put zero after char 1 of theNumber
if length(theNumber)  5 then put zero after char 1 of theNumber

If the numbers are part of a longer string, you may need to use 
offset function to find the insert position.

 will display 001 (the 3 means pad with zeros to 3 places).  So if the
 decimal points in your number series are intentional, you could make a
 function like:
 
  function padNumbers pSeries
 repeat for each line tNum in pSeries
   put .  format(%03s,char 2 to -2 of tNum)  .  cr after newSet

Actually, you can put the periods into the format function:

The real problem is that MacAddict is no more. It has morphed into
Mac|Life, lost all it's enthusiasm and become boring as well as filled
with ads for Sony  Vista. Having been a MacAddict subscriber since
issue 1, this was very sad to see and I did not renew my subscription.

Anyway, I will need to re-write the scripts to use the Mac|Life forums
instead of the MacAddict ones. The base address has changed but so has
the structure of the page. One I have done that, I will send it to
Richard for the revJournal site and notify people on the list.

One other issue is that the load command does not go to your browser
the way revGoURL or launch does. It just loads the HTML source into
memory, and when it is finished, it goes to the specified callback
handler, if one has been specified. If this was all working, you would
just see a list of forum names appear on the left. Then you would be
able to click on one of them to see a list of sub-forums names.

Tutorial - MacAddict Forum Reader on RevJournal Website - Webpage Won't Open

 Just got Rev3 about 2 weeks ago...so just getting started

 Found Sarah's tutorial - MacAddict Forum Reader on RevJournal website.

 Tried tutorial, but so far not getting web page to open...

 on mouseUp
  show image Busy
  put field Address into tAddress
  load URL tAddress with message processWebPage
 end mouseUp


 I notice that it uses command load URL, while in RunRev's beginning
 tutorial video, they use 'revGoURL'... although checked Dictionary and it
 says 'revGoURL' is now deprecated..  ;-)

 Have tried both but neither are opening up a browser window after clicking
 the Load button...

The real problem is that MacAddict is no more. It has morphed into
Mac|Life, lost all it's enthusiasm and become boring as well as filled
with ads for Sony  Vista. Having been a MacAddict subscriber since
issue 1, this was very sad to see and I did not renew my subscription.

Anyway, I will need to re-write the scripts to use the Mac|Life forums
instead of the MacAddict ones. The base address has changed but so has
the structure of the page. One I have done that, I will send it to
Richard for the revJournal site and notify people on the list.

One other issue is that the load command does not go to your browser
the way revGoURL or launch does. It just loads the HTML source into
memory, and when it is finished, it goes to the specified callback
handler, if one has been specified. If this was all working, you would
just see a list of forum names appear on the left. Then you would be
able to click on one of them to see a list of sub-forums names.

Cheers,
Sarah

Thanks so much for your help with this and your tutorial, Sarah!

Meanwhile, didn't realize that tutorial is only written for MacAddict forum.
I was trying to use another forum's web address that I visit often.

So, would be great as long as you're updating tutorial to add some comments
regarding getting this to work with other forums if that's not too much
trouble.

Thanks,

Mark

Here is my basic method:
- in your browser, load the page listing the forum categories and forum names.
- look at the source for this page and work out a method of
identifying the category  forum names, most likely a class name or
id.
- use my script for loading the page into memory, but edit the
processWebPage script to use the identifiers you found, the same way
my script for the MacAddict page used cattitle and forumlink

I can't really give specific instructions because each web page is
structured differently. You just have to look at the raw source and
script accordingly.

Last-Minute Enterprise Upgrade Question

2008-09-30 Thread Judy Perry
Hi all,

I am, of course, happy that the mothership thought to send me an email
reminding me that the Studio - Enterprise upgrade/purchase of 3.0
ends tonight.  I have credit card in hand.

But I'm confused... after following the link provided in the email
which said the price was US$299, the webpage says it's US$250, with an
Enterprise Early Software Assurance Pack for an additional US$133,
bringing the total to US$383, not US$299.

What am I not understanding?  And, exactly what *is* said Enterprise
Early Software Assurance Pack?

Kindest thanks for any insights anyone can offer.

Re: Last-Minute Enterprise Upgrade Question

2008-09-30 Thread Jim Kanter
It's a better deal. The upgrade is $250, not $299, and the software
assurance pack is an early renewal of the annual subscription so you
can continue to get all upgrades for an additional year for $133
instead of $199. If you let your annual subscription lapse and then
decide to upgrade, the regular Enterprise renewal is $399.

Hope this helps.

Re: Last-Minute Enterprise Upgrade Question

2008-09-30 Thread Mark Srebnik
Hi Judy,

The Early Software Assurance Pack provides you with free upgrades to Rev for
1 year instead of what comes with Rev (I think it's 90 days free upgrades).

You can purchase an Assurance Pack later, within the next year, but it will
be at a higher price than now when upgrading Rev.

If you wait more than a year, then you'll pay for a renewal again, which is
a bit less than a new license...

This is how Rev explained it to me

HTH,

Mark

The upgrade alone is for another year of updates, and the additional
early assurance extends that for a second year.

Just pondering - Rev CGI iPhone

2008-09-30 Thread Jim Sims

After fiddling with some Rev CGI stuff here for a couple
of weeks, I'm wondering how far this might take someone
towards a sophisticated web app for the iPhone. Just think'in,
mind you.

They wouldn't be sold via the Apple App store, but that just might
have some upside, especially when considering the restrictions
Apple can throw at developers   ;-)

I wonder what cool Rev CGI apps already exist out there?
