Re-2: I cannot paste in any field in an app (consisting of up to 7 stacks)
Hi all, thanks for the advise list! I checked the suggestions - and I think I have found the point I have identified the problem but do not understand it (and the idea about the edit menu of malte has helped me finding): I have a navigation background in all the stacks (=above all in the event hierarchy). I have made a test stack consisting only of some fields and this background group. With the background in it I cannot paste in the fields, after deleting the background I can. I have deleted the script in the background = the problem is the same therefore not in the script (I had no paste routines there). It is only the group object (marked as background without any further special details) which causes this behaviour that I cannot paste (Strg-V) into the fields of the stack where this background is included. Does the event STRG-V = paste be stopped by a background generally? I have put the teststack into URL http://animabit.de/runrev/test.rev and a standalone loading this stack into http://animabit.de/runrev/test.exe If anyone wants to test this behaviour.

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.

Hello Chipp. Thanks you very much! the http://animabit.de/runrev/test.exe is a 2.9 standalone which loads the runrev stack with the same name in the same dir. If someone wants to download both files in a dir and test it. The Problem are the menuitems in the background group in a standalone. If I delete the menuitems and just put a button in the background group it works in the standalone. If anyone had the time to make a windows standalone out of the test.rev stack with 3.0 we could see whether the problem is still alive or solved. Thanks for your testing.

Standalone Saving Woes
Hi All, I have a Stack that attempts to automate the process of building a standalone application. This works well, I save the Standalone Settings in an SQLite database and set them when I want to build a particular application. However, I have one really grotty problem, I need to be able to control which folder the Standalone gets saved in. If you do this manually via the Fie Menu Item, it pops up a Standard Get Folder dialog (which is VERY annoying anyway! Why the Folder to save the Standalone is not specified in the Standalone Settings Array along with all the other build information is beyond me??!!), I have some AppleScript that sends Keystrokes to RunRev to set the correct path, but this is VERY hit and miss and only works 1 in 3 times. I have been looking at the IDE code and it looks like the code that Saves a Standalone is protected so I can't edit the scripts. From looking at the code that is unprotected I have found the place where the Standalone Save code gets called: send revSaveAsStandalone quote myStackShortName quote to stack revSaveAsStandalone I think it would have been a MUCH better idea to pass the Build Folder Path to the revSaveAsStandalone handler as a second parameter. I imagine the code could easily be changed as so: on revSaveAsStandalone theStackName,theBuildFolderPathName .. .. if (theBuildFolderPathName empty) and (there is a folder theBuildFolderPathName) then put theBuildFolderPathName into it else answer folder Choose a Folder to Build in. end if Carry on as normal Do you think that I could get RunRev to do this change? If so how much do you think would be a reasonably price for such a modification?

decompress - result = 1
Hi all, can someone maybe give me a little hint what the result 1 means when I decompress a file? Here is an excerpt of an update/install routine of our current project. This is happening on a Mac, will have to test on windows later. All filenames, references etc. are VALID! ... ## Dateinamen zusammenbasteln... ## CONTRUCT FILENAMES put the ims_installer_ordner of this stack win_exe.gz into win_gz put win_ordner iDual IMS.exe into win_ziel ## Dateien kopieren... ## COPY FILES ## EXE put url(binfile: win_gz) into w1 put decompress(w1) into w2 if the result empty then ### Error decompressing Windows Runtime# answer Fehler beim entpacken der Windows Runtime! CR the result HERE I get 1 as the result*** alles_auf_anfang exit to top ! see below... end if ### WORKS!??? put w2 into url(binfile: win_ziel) if the result empty then ### WORKS!??? answer Fehler beim schreiben der Windows Runtime! CR the result alles_auf_anfang exit to top end if ### ... *** The REALLY strange things are: the other decompress actions run without errors AND although there is an exit to top statement, the scripts keeps on running and afterwards EVERYTHING has been installed without problems? So does 1 as the result of a decompress action really indicate that something went wrong? Could not find a hint in the docs. Any insights very welcome. Thanks in advance!

Hi Severin, Create a stack, save it on disk. Choose Share This Stack from the file menu. Immediately after uploading it to RevOnline, save the stack again. Next time when you choose Share This Stack from the file menu, meaning to share the same stack again, it will update automatically instead of uploading a copy. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum/ Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

Rev Standalone and Encryption
Hello, I have two questions about the Rev Standalone Builder Encrypt with Password feature. 1. How does the password come into play? After activating this feature, the completed standalone doesn't ask for a password. What is the purpose of the password, and is there any reason to keep a record of it? 2. Does the encryption slow down the application at all--or does it totally decrypt on opening?

Re: Rev Standalone and Encryption
Hi Ted, When you set a password, all your scripts are encrypted. When a stack opens, either in Revolution or in a standalone, the scripts are decrypted. However, there is no way to see the scripts in the open stack and when you save the stack to disk all scripts are encrypted again. Surely, you will want to remember the passwords used for your stacks, if you want to change the scripts. The encryption doesn't slow down the execution of scripts at all. They are decrypted when the stack opens --yet inaccessible to the user-- and run without delay once the stack is open. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum/ Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

Re: Rev Standalone and Encryption
Bonsoir Ted, Bill et Mark, Just an add-up to this thread with an email I posted to the Improve list less than a week ago: I work every day with protected stacks and here is the way I make my life easy with them: I have a text file with a list of passwords and stack names in it. At every stack (or substack) preOpenStack I have a routine in a library that checks if this file exists, parse it and set the passkey accordingly. In distribution, this file of course is not included and, in addition, the routine is skipped when the environment is not 'Dev' then all stacks stay protected. But in my 'Dev' environment, I am never prompted to enter any PW. Le 1 oct. 08 à 18:45, Mark Schonewille a écrit : When you set a password, all your scripts are encrypted.

Is this a memory issue?
Greetings! I have an standalone application that I am importing data into. The data is being imported into an array. The data is just text - formatted as XML. Each record being imported is pretty small - about 20 lines containing [on average] about 365 characters. The application processes the data [creating a new key in the array] VERY fast until it hits about the 415th record. Then, it begins to slow down. With each new record it gets slower and slower. It will eventually finish without error. This is happening on Windows only. On a Mac, it whizzes through all the records with no problem. Is this memory? Is there something that I can do? Anyone got any suggestions?

You could test it by rebooting, opening your System Monitor to show available RAM, run the routine a few times and see if memory stays allocated beyond what would seem normal. My hunch is that there's something about the loop that's causing the slowdown, perhaps a repeat with i=1 to the number of lines or something like that which doesn't scale well.

The solution found was to temporarily move the image outside the group, apply the changes to the image, and then move the image back into the group. The following script demonstrates the implementation of this principle (button distortions: choose shape contains the script that applies changes to the image): on mouseUp set the imagedata of img x to the imagedata of img x set the relayergroupedcontrols to true put the layer of img x into tlayer set the layer of img x to top send mouseup to btn distortions: choose shape set the layer of img x to tlayer set the relayergroupedcontrols to false end mouseUp So an alternative approach to Scott's proposal of creating and using a second image would be just to move the image outside the group temporarily and then put it back into the group after applying the changes.

Re: RR in Wine
The last time I tried, a year or so ago, it wouldn't install on Wine. It may have got better since. However, 3.0 on Linux is a great improvement over 2.9, and a huge one over 2.6.1 on Linux, and I would not worry about it, just get the Linux version. The big UI deal is that multiple desktops now work as they are supposed to and file dialogues are native and fonts work properly. Printing cards has worked properly since 2.9. Sqlite seems to work fine. I have not tried the various browser functionalities yet but assume they were properly tested before leaving the factory. The previous big issue was with printing - not cards, but fields, with RevPrintField and with Print Field from the file menu. Not sure whether these are still an issue. They are with one Debian installation, but whether they are specific to it, needs confirmation. There is an issue about plugins. You can't get GLX2 or Quartam for Linux. But, you have the new editor which is a great improvement over the previous one. I used to use Geany as an editor, which may no longer be necessary. Would you get either one to work properly with Rev running under Wine? Wouldn't bet on it. Generally for manipulating text in fields, either to print or generate reports, there's a lot to be said for Awk. Its fast, terse, available for all platforms, comes as standard with all Linux distributions, and you print fields from the shell by piping the output to kprinter. There may be an issue with fonts displaying properly. One, you have to make sure you're using fonts which are installed on the configuration being compiled for. Two, even if it does, you have to make sure they display properly. This is with other Linux distributions as well as with compiling it for Windows. It should not be too much of a wall, or too 'HARD', Linux! Thoughts: Whatever anyone tells you about Ubuntu, Debian is the way to go with Linux. Hint: find out how you move from Gutsy Gibbon to Hardy Heron, and then compare it to moving from Etch to Lenny. And whatever anyone tells you about Gnome and HIGs, Fluxbox as a window manager/desktop environment is the kind of thing you are going to want in the end. A grown man can only use for so long a plane designed primarily with the aim of preventing a ten year old from hurting himself with it. After a while he feels a powerful urge to use something designed to smooth timber and be kept away from ten year olds. If you only buy one book about Linux, get Scott Graneman's Linux Phrasebook. If buying two, get Carla Schroders Cookbook also. Good luck. Mikey-3 wrote: My that's-no-laptop-it's-a-spacestation has gone to the next world. I'm thinking of going HARD into the Linux wall.
