3.0 for Linux is 8% slower than 2.6.1 ?

2008-10-05 Thread Bernard Devlin
As I can notice several flickerings of IDE components with 3.0 in Linux, yet
in Vista the same flickerings are much faster (and therefore barely
noticeable), I wondered if there was some speed difference between the old
and the new versions of the engines.  I threw together a quick test that
seems to show that there is an 8% slowdown in the newer Linux version.

I've entered it as a bug, and if anyone else would like to correct my
results, the stack is attached to the bug report:
http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=7274

When I ran the same test stack on Vista, there seems to be a 30% increase in
speed between 2.7.4 and 3.0.  Incidentally, I had to use the u3 2.7.4
version of Revolution on Vista, since they've decided to only give us direct
access to the latest versions on each platform.  Maybe 2.7.4 for u3 is much
slower than 2.6.1 for Windows, but I don't have any old versions here to
test out.

All the tests were done with no other applications but Rev running.

virtual desktops in linux, very weird

2008-10-05 Thread Peter Alcibiades

OK, finally tested this on exactly the same machine, but with WindowMaker and
Fluxbox.  In both cases it works fine.  You can put either the dictionary,
the stack you're working on, the editor, the property inspector all on
different windows.  You can then drag and create a button lets say, do 'edit
script' and when you flip back to the workspace where the script editor is,
there it is waiting to be edited.  If memory is correct, this was also the
situation with 2.9.  Maybe this was why I at first thought it was working,
must have been using Fluxbox.

Yet on Gnome it doesn't work at all.  You can move windows to other
desktops, but as soon as you go to the other desktop, back they flash to the
one with the Rev menubar on it.  It will probably not work on KDE as it did
not in 2.9 either.

How can this be, that it works in WM and Fluxbox, but not in Gnome, when
nothing else has changed? This is apart from the WM being used, exactly the
same config in all cases.  I am not restarting, just signing off and then
signing on again.

The file downloaded named as perf-test-leg.rev.sh. You would want to  
rename it to perf-test-leg.rev. When you run it, it takes 80 seconds

Re: 3.0 for Linux is 8% slower than 2.6.1 ?

2008-10-05 Thread Bernard Devlin
I've no idea why it would download as *.sh.  It was uploaded as *.rev.  The
stack doesn't just run under Linux, it runs under Vista (as I think I said
in my original post).  For some reason, I couldn't open it under OS X PPC
(although I didn't think endian issues affected Rev stacks).

It has a loop that repeats an exponential number of times, adding lines of
random numbers to a list.  It just records how long the script takes to run
each time.  There are a series of 'send in times' so that the results can be
averaged, and it can be run whilst nothing else is running.

I would think the script in the 'start' button is pretty self-explanatory.
If anyone else has any other benchmarks, I'd be grateful to see them.  Mine
seems pretty simple to me, and tests nothing more than a few functions,
looping and adding to lists.

It will only make any sense if you run the script on the same hardware,
using a version of Rev = 3 and a version of Rev  3.

Re: virtual desktops in linux, very weird

2008-10-05 Thread Bernard Devlin
To be honest Peter, I do have sympathy for Rev in this regard.  The number
of desktop/WM programs is quite varied in Linux compared with say Windows or
OS X.  I know that there are a small percentage of Windows users who might
run weird desktops/application launchers instead of the Explorer interface,
and maybe the same thing can be done for OS X.  But they are a tiny
percentage, and it is reasonable that things might break with these
exceptions.  Yet much of the terrain of Linux is varied (as you have pointed
out a few days ago), so there are just a lot more exceptions.

I don't think it is reasonable for me to expect Runrev to test out every
permutation on Linux.  For example, today I entered a bug report because the
File Open window works correctly in Debian/Ubuntu, but doesn't work
correctly in Fedora 8.  I marked it as 'minor', because there is a
workaround (don't use that part of File Open, or don't use Fedora 8).
That's fine for us developers working within the IDE, not so fine for end
users.

I'm assuming that Runrev's developers have used a standard API call to show
the open file dialog.  And probably they tested it worked in Ubuntu or
Debian.  I can't really blame them if that same API call doesn't work in
Fedora (even if the API seems to work for every other app in Fedora).  Also,
I note in http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=5789 that Rev
seems to exhibit different behaviour in Ubuntu than in Debian or Fedora,
with regard to the initial and subsequent position of the menubar on
startup.  I don't know again if this is due to a Linux API being
inconsistent, or if there is some conditional coding inside Rev to make it
behave in different ways depending on the environment it is running within.

It would be nice if multiple virtual desktops worked with the IDE.  I know
it works for the windows of other Linux apps, and I've heard Rev works with
OS X's virtual desktops.  But I'm focussing my energy on the fact that Rev
3.0 hangs, crashes and leaks memory.  I've given up for lost the hope of
having it work on virtual desktops.  I'm going to use an external editor
with stsmlxEditor, and I have Bjoernke's docu working as a standalone so I
don't have to position the dictionary.

Hi Paul,

The suspend and resume messages might be more what you're  
looking for. They're sent when your Rev app loses/gains focus as the  
frontmost app currently running.


There's always shell() to get info from the OS. For example, to get  
all apps in the Applications folder that are running, you can do  
this:


on mouseUp
 put shell(ps -A) into tData
 filter tData with */Applications/*
 put tData into fld 1
end mouseUp

Then you would at least what apps are running.


On the Mac there's probably something you can do with AppleScript to  
find out what's running, but someone else will have to address that.


The only way I can think of to really prevent net access outside of  
Rev is to run a proxy server on the client that is set up to do that.


If you'll be using shell() much, you might find this Rev plug-in  
useful:

Chipp Walters wrote:

I use the @ sign all the time when accessing ftp on Windows XP and Vista.
I'm not sure what your problem is.


I think the problem is that the '@' sign is used in a convention that allows 
the username and password to be folded into the ftp URL; ie


ftp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path

In Ton's case, the username includes an @ sign.  The code has to parse the 
string into those five parts (protocol, username, password, machine, path). 
If there are two '@' signs in the string, that's ambiguous.


Arguably the surprise isn't that it throws things off on Windows; it's more 
surprising that it works on Mac.  Certainly I think it's surprising that it's 
different on the two platforms, you'd think that this parsing would be in the 
libURL transcript code, rather than in some platform-specific engine code.


But at any rate, the solution is to urlEncode the username and password when 
constructing such a URL (which will have the effect of replacing : with 
%3A, and @ with %40).

Auto-complete in the 3.0 script editor

2008-10-05 Thread Ben Rubinstein
I'm sure I'll feel a fool once it's pointed out to me, but can someone tell me 
how to access auto-complete in the new script editor?


I assume it hasn't been removed as a feature, since the release notes say it 
has been improved; but I can't find a reference in the docs at all, the old 
key combos don't do it, and I can't figure what does.


TIA,

- Ben

Dude,

Just use my function posted last week:

function isStackCurrentlyVisibleOnAnyMonitor pStack
 -- pStack IS THE SHORT NAME OF STACK
 if pStack is among the lines of windows() then
  if not the vis of stack pStack then return false
  if the blendlevel of stack pStack = 100 then return false
  repeat for each line L in the screenrects
 if the topLeft of stack pStack is within L then return true
 if the topRight of stack pStack is within L then return true
 if the bottomLeft of stack pStack is within L then return true
 if the bottomRight of stack pStack is within L then return true
  end repeat
  return false
 else
  return false
 end if
end isStackCurrentlyVisibleOnAnyMonitor

2 points here:

1. [OT] where I come from the word 'Dude' carries fairly negative connotations 
(well, maybe that was your intention),

2. SCREENRECTS - plural was introduced in Runtime Revolution 2.7

(i.e. Richmond spent a long time p*ss*ng around with 2.6.1 wondering what he 
was doing wrong!!!)

This one has probably come up before . . .

Possibly, an itemised table showing what commands are available in each version 
of Runtime Revolution should be drawn up to spare people with early versions a 
lot of time, and make them stump up the money for newer versions.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.

Dude is surfer talk. The only negative connotation where I come from is all
put on the speaker (meaning if you call someone Dude then you are from
that class of skater boy/surfer/stoner people who call people Dude).

Where is there a list of script abbreviations? It should be in the help
dictionary somewhere. For example I know that itemDelimiter has an
abbreviation but when you look it up you'd think it would be stated there in
the definition but no.


It's in the synonyms section, above see also.

I have never heard of Dude as a negative connotation!!!

Richmond, where do you come from that it is?

I see it for each individual thing you look up now. Thanks. I just thought
there would be a list of all the synonyms somewhere.

Visible and extra monitors.

2008-10-05 Thread Richmond Mathewson
I come from the North-East of Scotland.

Frankly 'Dude' sounds like 'Dud'.

However, the point about SCREENRECTS was more important.

Perhaps you haven't seen the movie the Big Lebowski. It explains 
all about the 'Dude'.
