Re: Help! revZipOpenArchive fails on some PCs
Hi Tiemo, I have never used revZip... stuff. However, have you tried opening the zip file natively on XP (i.e. just clicking on it and letting XP unzip it)? Clearly there is something different with the PC where it is failing, and maybe it will fail using the XP unzip feature. I know that when I first got Vista it was taking an hour or so to unzip a file (and failing on some), until I disabled anti-virus, then everything was fine.

Re: Help! revZipOpenArchive fails on some PCs
Hiya, Unzipping and Anti-Virus on small files tends to be ok, it's the larger files that can cause problems as the Anti-Virus has to check the files within the zip. You can usually set the Anti-Virus to ignore files by extension or by folder/directory/location. Cheers, Luis.

AW: Help! revZipOpenArchive fails on some PCs
Hi Bernard and Luis, your idea brought me some hope for the solution, but sadly it wasn't the reason. First I deactivated the scanning of archives in my anti virus without success and then I completely deinstalled the anti virus, also without success. My prog keeps on hanging at the open of the zip file. Then I deinstalled winzip and winrar, two zipping tools on that machine, so that only the XP on board zip tool was left. But also everything without success. And yes the zip file could be unzipped with winzip and XP zip without any problems. Very mysterious. Any other ideas very welcome!

Bonsoir Eric, that was my first thought too.

Re: Saving arrays and custom property sets
I've used this feature a little bit, for a 'thing' that saves and retrieves multiple fields at a time locally for re-insertion later in another record. The multi dimensional arrays can be stored to/from a custom property set, but accessing any multidimensional custom property beyond the first level (propertyset--property--) is not allowed at this time. But working with this even in this form is totally usable. Use the standard syntax to set a custom property set to an array and back. I'm assuming the rev team will enable multi-dimensional prop storage soon, as it's already used for gradients, and of course the above mentioned storage of arrays. One problem holding things up might be that a new custom property editor needs to be built for this. 2009/1/6 David Bovill da...@architex.tv From the docs: Saving of array valued custom properties Custom properties that have arrays as values are now saved in the stack file.

Imported Images As Controls
I am having fits using imported images as controls. The problem is not in using them, but rather in their insistence on reverting to their original size! If I cut and paste it reverts. If I edit a group that contains a scaled imported image, it reverts. If I drop an 800x600 picture as a background on a 640x480 card (as an example), size the picture to the size of the card, close and save the stack then reopen it, it reverts. Is this the intended behavior of imported controls or is this a bug?

Mac-standaloning problem

I have been dealing with them through relative addresses as custom properties, which were OK in Windows-standalones, but not in Mac standalones. I therefore shifted to another strategy, locating them in scripts , where they are identified relative to effective filename of stack. Also this works smoothly in Windows standalones, but fails in Mac-standalones. I exemplify here with the simplest handler, assuming, that if that one can be solved, the solution may be adapted to the more complex handlers relating to especially the backupfolder. on mouseUp global phenodate,navn,tidspunkt,screensnap put the effective filename of this stack into screensnap set the itemdelimiter to / delete last item of screensnap delete last item of screensnap delete last item of screensnap put /Screenshots after screensnap(identifying existing folder) put the time into tidspunkt put_ into char 3 of tidspunkt put screensnap / phenodate _ tidspunkt into navn export snapshot from rectangle 0,0,1030,768 to file navn .jpg as JPEG beep 4 end mouseUp It works in windows standalones, but not in Mac standalones. Error messages tell, that the target (on mac) is assumed to be after/ under or below the stack or bundle filepath/effective filename, in spite of the deleting of the last items of the filepath . I am unsure, whether this description is adequate, but ask, if it is not.

Re: Imported Images As Controls
Bob, If you are not able to get the sizes what they should be prior to importing them, then, once imported, double-click the image; in the properties panel, click on the drop-down button thingy at the top of the panel and go to something like size and location; this should result in showing a tick box that 'locks size and location' which should do what you want.

I therefore shifted to another strategy, locating them in scripts , where they are identified relative to effective filename of stack. Also this works smoothly in Windows standalones, but fails in Mac-standalones. When you make a Mac standalone, what appear to the Mac user as a single application file is actually a folder. If you are building on a Windows computer, you will be able to see the folder structure as follows: My Application.app Contents Info.plist Mac OS Externals My Application PkgInfo Plugins (various support bundles) Resources (icns files .proj folders) So you can see that the actual application (including your stacks and the Rev engine) is nested in the MacOS folder. This folder may also include any sub-stacks that have been separated from the mainStack. Assuming your application is on the standard Applications folder, then the effective filepath of your main stack would be: /Applications/My Application.app/Contents/MacOS/My Application when I expect what you want is: /Applications Here is my function that gives the path to either the application or the Rev stack, so it works in a standalone or in the IDE. function applicationFolder put the effective filename of this stack into tFull put empty into tFolder set the itemdel to / repeat for each item i in tFull if i contains .app or i contains .rev then exit repeat put i / after tFolder end repeat return tFolder end applicationFolder However you say you want to go a few levels above the standalone. If the standalone is in the Applications folder, there is only one level higher and that gets you to the root directory of the hard drive which really should not be used for storing data folders. It would be better to have a data folder in the user's Documents folder. How about something like this: put specialFolderPath(docs) into tDocsFolder put tDocsFolder /My Application data into tDataFolder if there is not a folder tDataFolder then create folder tDataFolder Then you can make your 3 separate folders in the data folder and access them easily.

creating and storing multidimensional arrays
Hi, I am trying to understand multidimensional arrays in a structural sense. I am thinking of them along the lines of a database record (row) and want the array to have the following structure: key, word, wordlength, linenumber, position, reference in other words each row (given by key) of the array will contain the six values word, wordlength, linenumber, position, reference If I have created what I think is a multidimensional array using the code snippet below: where say index = 23 put fred into wArray1[index][theword] -- The word in question put 4 into wArray1[index][wlength]-- its length put 6 into wArray1[index][theline] -- the line containing the word put 24 into wArray1[index][theoffset] -- the character position word starts put T1.2 into wArray1[index][theRef] --its reference Is this a multidimensional array? If it is I am thus thinking in effect that wArray1[23]= fred 4 6 24 T1.2 If it is, how can I store this array in a custom property? Will a line such as set the customProperties[cpWordarray] of this stack to wArray1 store the whole array? Note: I will eventually store it in a database, this is simply a temp storage location while I work out the scripting between sessions.

Yes it is - once you use more than one set of bracketed keys, you're into multiple dimensions. If it is I am thus thinking in effect that wArray1[23]= fred 4 6 24 T1.2 Well, actually wArray[23] contains an *array* that has the theword, wlength, theline, theoffset and theRef keys in it. For example: put wArray[23] into tArray put tArray[theword] -- fred put tArray[wlength] -- 4 (etc.) If it is, how can I store this array in a custom property? Will a line such as set the customProperties[cpWordarray] of this stack to wArray1 store the whole array? Yes, but you can't use multiple dimensions with custom property set access directly. That is, if you try to do: put the cpWordArray[23][theword] of this stack you'll get an error since although custom properties can contain arrays, they can't be addressed with multiple dimensions. So you needto do it in multiple steps: put the cpWordArray[23] into tArray put tArray[theword] -- fred HTH, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
