[TT] Beavering Away . . .

[Richmond Mathewson]

Oh, Dear, my instructor (of EFL techniques, I rush to add) told me that
'hoovering' meant this:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hoover definition No. 2

I didn't realise that the verb had a slightly different meaning to the 
noun.

The reason 'hoovering' means vacuuming in Britain is because
Hoover was the first company to mass market vacuum cleaners there.
In fact 'hoover' is so tightly linked (semantically) with vacuum cleaners
that other white goods made by Hoover (washing-machines and so on) are
never referred to as a 'hoover'.

This is similar to the verb 'to xerox', meaning to photocopy.

Presumably 'to xerox' means, in America, to photocopy intimate
pieces of one's anatomy :)

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.

Re: Is it possible to use 'sheet' stack and then go to a specific card of that stack?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi William,

go cd 2 of stack "bla" as sheet

works fine for me. I think that the card reference used in your script  
is incorrect. What exactly do you have in your field?

I call the cards of a stack in a field and when I click on it it  
will open

the card. This works fine!
Because I like 'sheet' stack on OSX I'd like to combine both.
Is this possible?

When I use the code below it doesn't work:

then put the value of the clickline into tData

 then sheet stack tNaam

 then go card tData of stack tNaam

"the filename of this stack" returns capital letters

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello,

I just discovered a difference in given paths from Rev 3.0. When asking for
"the filename of this stack" on my Win XP Client, I get the path, as
expected. When asking the same on a Win 2003 Server Rev returns the path
completely in capital letters.

Could I run anywhere into problems with a path in capital letters (it works
so far), or is it completely insignificant if the path is in capital or not?
And is there perhaps any option to change this behaviour?

Thanks

Tiemo

Re: Is it possible to use 'sheet' stack and then go to a specific card of that stack?

[William de Smet]

Hi Mark,
One again you're my hero for the day!
I trtied several things and now it works:

*on **mouseup*

*  put **fld "dr" into tNaam*

  if the hilitedLine is not empty

  then put the value of the clickline into tData

  --then go card tData of stack tNaam

  -- then sheet stack tNaam

  --then go card tData of stack tNaam

  then go cd tData of stack tNaam as sheet

end if

end mouseup


Sometimes the easy ones are the most difficult :-)

I was scripting all day and couldn't get it to work anymore last night.


Thanks again!


Greetings,


William

Re: "the filename of this stack" returns capital letters

[GIRARD Damien]

Hi Tiemo,

On Windows, path are case-insensitive, so this cannot make any problems. 
The only
problems that can be created is a cosmetic issue when displaying the 
path to the user.


By the way, this behaviour is strange.

How to ask if there is a appBundle?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello,

When verifying a bundle on the Mac with "if there is a file" I get false -
which is comprehensible, but same with "if there is a folder". So there must
be another way. How do I ask for a bundle?

Thanks

AW: "the filename of this stack" returns capital letters

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello Damien,
yes, it is strange. First I thought, it was the first time I ask for a path
of the server, but actually looking back, it is not the first time and I
believe I have never seen theses capital paths.
Just yesterday I installed the newest monthly patches on my server - perhaps
MS changed anything under the hood when asking the server, who knows...
Thank you, giving me the safeness of the case-insensitiveness :)

Hi there,

I agree that this is a topic of great interest to a number of people

If Revolution is capable of working with Core MIDI, then this

Hi René,
my sincire apology for not answering you sooner.
I posted my reply on the dutch forum on dec. 11 th.
My goals is to be able to send Midi data in realtime from and to  
revolutiuon.
I am working on stacks in Rev that help you in composing, by f.i.  
creating rhythms and
themes, or variatiuons, or the usaer is able to generate variations  
by all sorts of transformations.

I am also working on a 'evolutionary' stack to evolve rhythms.
Anyway, I'll be needing to hear directly what I have created and I'd  
prefer to hear my own samples and

Instruments (in Logic or NI) and not to use the QuickTime instruments.
One of the stacks I am making will be searching for the 'right'  
sounds to use under user's

direction (semi automated). So I need to hear my own sounds.
As two know more than one, we might share info and be working  
together on this thing.I have already figured out how to make
a standard midi file (as others have done before me). Do you have  
knowlwdge of C or C++ and Xcode (do you woirk on Mac?)
I will be staring to look into these things in the coming 4 weeks, as  
I take my computer with me into the mountains (alas, no internet  
connection there).
Sunday (tomorrow), I will be away for 4 weeks and only be able to get  
to my mail on a weekly basis.

Greetings, Beat
-
Beat,
What name for musician !
Thank you for your answer. My english is not very good, sorry :-)...  
But my french is better !
I am working on a generative musical instrument (named “Exagofon“)  
with Revolution (only, no C, C++ or Xcode... too much for my brain !)  
and today it work with the Quicktime instruments, but, like you, I  
wish play (live) Midi (in/out) via USB and Revolution on Macintosh.
I am working also on several musical projects : Acordofon, Ritmofon,  
Yasarofon, Rizomofon, Exagovox.

Bons souvenirs de Paris

Bonjour Beat,
Bon voyage ! Bonnes vacances !
I am also interesed by musical experimental instruments like Ztar (I

perhaps), Janko keyboards, Haken Continuum fingerboard (soon

open printing, close printing, for print spool job

Re: open printing, close printing, for print spool job

[william humphrey]

It's worse even. I'm trying to do

  on printSomeCards

global cardsToPrint

open printing with dialog

if the result is "Cancel" then exit printSomeCards

repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of cardsToPrint

  print card (line x of cardsToPrint)

end repeat

close printing -- send group of cards to printer

  end printSomeCards

But when I do it only the last card gets spooled and printed.

So I do this:

  on printSomeCards

global cardsToPrint

open printing with dialog

if the result is "Cancel" then exit printSomeCards

repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of cardsToPrint

  print card (line x of cardsToPrint)

close printing

end repeat



  end printSomeCards


Then all the cars print but not as one nice batch (for example when you
print to a PDF and you want a many page PDF.


I'm using RunRev version 3.0 on Mac OS. Does anyone know how to get the
print spool function to work?

William,
I often use the following handler that allow printing all cards in a  
stack :

(usually a special stack devoted to printing).

 on imprimer
 put the cardnames of stack "stackDImpression" into cardsToPrint
  --answer printer
  open printing WITH dialog
  IF the result is "Cancel" THEN exit Imprimer
  REPEAT FOR each line tCd in cardsToPrint
print tCd
  END repeat
  close printing
end imprimer

Hope this helps

Thank you, Mark. Looks like Windows cannot do this without lower level
support. Once again the Mac demonstrates its inate usability superiority :-)

Is anyone up for writing an external to support text clippings for Windows?
Please contact me off list.

/H


Hi Hugh,

On the Mac, text clippings are created automatically. I guess you are
on Windows. I believe that the new drag and drop commands make it
possible to retrieve the dragDestination and create a text file by
means of a script, using this dragDestination. I don't know whether
Windows is able to do this by itself and I haven't created a text file
after a D&D myself yet.

Re: open printing, close printing, for print spool job

I'm sending data from a database to one card (filling out fields in that
card) then printing the card then sending new data etc. It is very similar
to printing a whole bunch of cards except that the information in the fields
on one card is just changed. I don't see why it would make any difference in
the print spooling command but I guess I need to make some test stacks and
start experimenting.

I don't see in your original handler where you are filling the fields 
with data. The repeat loop is written as though it should print 
different cards, rather than loading one card repeatedly from different 
records in a database. Change it to something like this:


  repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of cardsToPrint
fillCardData (line x of cardsToPrint) -- load the fields here
print this card -- which now contains new data
  end repeat

I do this all the time and it works fine. I'm not sure "line x of 
cardsToPrint" is the right parameter for what you are doing, but the 
idea is to grab the right data from your database, fill the fields, then 
print the card. Each iteration of the loop repeats this process. The 
same card is printed repeatedly, but in each instance it contains 
different field data.

What you were talking about on the web forum is a way for Rev to
communicate midi information to other *applications* running on the
same machine in a generic manner, which is *quite* different from
sending midi data over a cable. There are many ways of packaging up
the midi info and sending it to other devices, but communicating with
other applications is much harder, especially since you want to do
this in a cross-platform manner.

ReWire is promising, although Propellerheads' licensing is byzantine.
I've written an OSC library for rev (it's in my MakeBoard stack in
revOnline), but again it's limited to talking to devices that support
OSC.

Re: open printing, close printing, for print spool job

Thanks but I'm looking for:

close printing


And to have the printed cards all spool before printing. If you print to a
PDF then it would be a multiple page PDF. In the docs this should work but
for me only the last page is printing unless I do this:



 open printing


 repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of cardsToPrint
   fillCardData (line x of cardsToPrint) -- load the fields here
   print this card -- which now contains new data


close printing


 end repeat



But then each card prints individually... not what I wanted.


The example I gave will spool all the data first, I just left off the 
"open" and "close" printing commands (I assumed you'd keep those in 
place.) So yes, you need this:


open printing with dialog
if the result = "cancel" then exit 
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of cardsToPrint
 fillCardData (line x of cardsToPrint) -- load the fields here
 print this card -- which now contains new data
end repeat
close printing -- sends it all to printer

You will need to supply the correct info for "fillCardData", either a 
handler with that name, or some code that replaces that line which will 
read the database and fill the field contents in each iteration of the loop.

Cursor

If the lockCursor property is set to false, Revolution automatically sets
the cursor according to its location once the handler finishes. (For
example, the cursor normally turns into an arrow over a menu, an I-beam over
an editable text field, and so on.) To retain the cursor property after a
handler finishes, use the lock cursor command.

Hide the cursor + MouseMove

[Richmond Mathewson]

Just uploaded "FAKE CURSOR.rev" to revOnline, demonstrating how to
use a GIF image as a fake cursor for an application such as a game.

WARNING! This stack will make your cursor vanish.

Open the Message Box [ Ctrl-M / Command-M ] and type 'unlock cursor',
hit RETURN should you want your cursor back!

I have no idea what you just said, Richmond, but I do recognize Tintin

I'm vaguely curious for a translation. Care to oblige?  Off list is

"There is a folder" should work, but you need to make sure you pass the
extension (.app, .bundle, etc.), even if it's not displayed. Here's an
example (I picked TextEdit, but pick what you like):

on mouseUp
  answer file "Select a bundle or app:"
  if it <> "" then
put (there is a folder it)
  end if
end mouseUp

As you can see, you need to use "answer file" to pick a bundle, but after
that, it should be treated as a folder.

[WTT] Problems I didn't expect

[Jacques Hausser]

[WTT]: Worse than totally tangential

Dear all,

I'm just back from the "Escalade" commemoration in Geneva, some very  
nice hours with mulled wine and vegetable soup and historical parade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Escalade 
) and I discover 38 new messages from the list. Avalanche. I deeply  
enjoy every day to read these messages, but I'm feeling some  
frustration because
1) when I actually have a good answer to a question asked on the list,  
they are zillions of answers better than mine already posted. How do  
you deal with that ? It would be a full-time job just to keep the  
pace... If somebody has a good strategy, thank you to share it.
2) Even with the sophisticated semantic explanations of experts like  
Richmond*, I miss half of the jokes (which are more than half of the  
pleasure). Could some bilingual french-english guru (Eric ?) post a  
short lexicon of expressions and abbreviations used ? (I got HTH by  
myself, but it's a rare success amidst many failures...). Sorry, but  
my education included German (totally lost), Latin and classical  
Greek, and my English was just picked out empirically, without any  
formal teaching...


Thanks in advance - and do not hesitate to send your answer(s) out of  
the list if you feel it's [OT] - (is [OT] OK ?)


Jacques

* Richmond, I remember a statue of an old deaf guy in the street in  
Plovdiv - I liked him - is he still there ? Reading some of the  
messages on this list, I'm feeling like him...

AW: "the filename of this stack" returns capital letters

[Len Morgan]

I ran into this problem about a year and half ago but I had a different 
setup.  I have Rev clients that run on Windows machines but get their 
updates from a Linux server (where the database also is) using Samba. 

While it is true that Windows is case-INsensitive, Linux is NOT and so I 
had to rename all of my files on the Linux server to match what was in 
the Rev code before I could make it work.

specialFolderPath("Documents")

[Sivakatirswami]

Our Hinduism Today Digital Edition/PDF manager uses

specialFolderPath("Documents")

this is resolving to the same folder as SF#28 


also currently known as

CSIDL_PERSONAL = 0x0005
   File system directory that serves as a common repository for 
documents. A typical path is C:\Documents and Settings\username\My 
Documents. This is different from the My Documents virtual folder in the 
name space. To access that virtual folder, use the technique described 
in Managing the File System.


as distinct from:

CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS
   Virtual folder that contains the objects in the user's My Documents 
folder.


The app Andre built is able to write files to

C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Hinduism Today Digital 
Edition\some*.pdf


but the following handler will not boot the PDF as expected, on this 
man's machine

(see below)

Now.. FYI: when people upgraded to Vista, we held  our breath and nearly 
burst until we got the good news that the following code was working 
just fine on Vista! Hurray.. that could have been a major downer..


So, I'm loath to mess with this too much in case we break it, just to 
solve one user's problem... but maybe some can spot the reason why the 
boot the pdf into acrobat will not work. when he navigates  to the files 
in the file system and double clicks on the PDF's they boot in to 
Acrobat just fine.. so the doc/app binding is apparently OK in the registry.


Any insights?

Hi William,

I don't see a 'print break' anywhere - which means
that every card you print is printed on the same page,
on top of the previous one.

##
on printSomeCards
global cardsToPrint
open printing with dialog
if the result is "Cancel" then exit printSomeCards
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of
cardsToPrint
  print card (line x of cardsToPrint)
  print break
end repeat
close printing -- send group of cards to printer
end printSomeCards
##

HTH,

Jan Schenkel.
