Re: [ANN] tRev's Raptor feature now available!
Jerry, I'm still puzzled about this. Is it a Rev stack? And if so, why won't it run on Linux? When you go to the buy page, you don't seem to have to specify a Windows or a Mac version, it seems like one size fits both.

Re: Rev Documentation [WAS: Launch another app from my standalone]
I downloaded an OS X utility (chmox) that can open Windows-only help files (.chm) files. So now I can read the documentation you linked to. You say you can use this FM documentation in a browser, but surely that is only on Windows? Or does FM on OS X install something that enables you to view it in Safari? It's not clear me why you think that FM help is better than the documentation that comes with Revolution. Maybe the OS X utility does not render the chm file the way you see it on Windows, so I could be missing something. Revolution has: a) the User Guide in PDF and hard copy formats b) the Dictionary for reference purposes (also in hard copy format) c) the introductory and tutorial material in the Resource Center (which have downloadable stacks, demo vidoes, and the tutorial can be viewed in PDF format). The FM help documentation seems to me to offer only 1 thing that the Rev docs don't: everything is in one place and can be reached by drilling-down using the disclosure triangles. I can see why someone might think that is useful, as there is only one place to look. But it could also be a hinderance once one no longer needs the bulk of that material, but one still has to d But as far as a new user learning what a tool is all about, I think the RunRev way is better: i) a simple book that takes one on a tour of the environment and the paradigm behind Revolution ii) individual tutorials that include the material necessary to complete each tutorial, AND a video The Rev User Guide and tutorials are far more visiual than the FM help. I'm surprised to look through that .chm file and see how un-visual it is. And once one is past the learning stage, then as a user the Reference component of the FM help would also really annoy me and get in my way. Rev's dictionary is separate from the rest of the help because once one is over the initial learning stage, one needs it to be ready to hand but not obstructive. Also, when one bears in mind that Rev is a tool with which one could actually build something like FM, one might expect that the documentation for FM would be easier to write. FM has a much more delimited field of operation: the tutorial material can be focussed on a smaller area and can be exhaustive. Please tell me why you think there is something for RunRev to learn from the way FM has done it. Is it just that having the User Guide, the tutorials/videos, and the Dictionary in different places is the problem? Maybe there are other components to the FM documentation that would cover some of the failings I've mentioned.

Re: On-Rev and Daylight Savings Time (Addendum)
Hi Jim, Thanks for your thoughtful response. I had grappled with DST in another project that involved press releases that were time stamp GMT. It was tricky. I like your idea of getting the seconds every day at midnight. That's clever, and I think I can incorporate that into my site. Sarah has a cool time conversion page on her TrozWare site that I am going to study as well. Regards, Gregory On Tue 1 Sep 2009, at 1:00 PM, Jim Ault wrote: Caution: You can change the time that Rev (or any program) gets on your computer by simply setting your computer clock to anything you like. The same thing can happen on any computer or server. Just ask a large company that has servers in different cities and countries. The key to iRev servers is that they are probably extremely stable and constantly updated to one of the atomic clock sites. One issue of daylight savings (especially in the state of Indiana) is that some counties will change their clocks and others will not. Another issue is that the last daylight savings change in the Spring was done one week later in the UK than in the US. The result was two time changes 7 days apart. A computer program running on a processor can have functions that ask the processor for date and time info, but daylight savings changes are external to the processor. If you write a function that gets the seconds at midnight each day, then see if it is 24.0 hours after the previous midnight, you know the processor has not changed the time zone or time shift in its control panel settings. If you have a local processor and one at iRev, you need to track this for each processor and maintain the correct offset ( +1, -1, 0 ). You might want to study GMT options and use one of those. Hope this helps.

Remember, getting the seconds only does so for the operating system Rev is running on. I believe it will be the same for iRev, so when they switch in Texas, you will see the change, then be able to compare to your local value to see if that changes on the same evening. I am going to be diving into iRev and time zone changes around the world on web servers beginning the end of September, so this same issue lies in my immediate future.

Creating a standalone (choice dimmed)
Dear list members: I have created standalones many times, but all of a sudden, when I choose Save as Standalone Application from the Rev File menu and the desktop appears, the rev file I'm trying to create a standalone from is dimmed. Anyone have any ideas of what I might be doing wrong (if anything)? Thank you.

Re: Creating a standalone (choice dimmed)
When you select Save as standalone, it asks for a folder where you want the standalone to be saved. The Rev stack you are building needs to be loaded into Rev already. Since it is looking for a folder at that stage, all files should be greyed out and you should only be able to select folders.
