Mark Recurrent question, since the beginning ! Typical case of selective deafness... There seems to be an increasingly large amount of this. Either RunRev should demonstrably listen to their loyal customer base, fairly quickly and responsively; or they should stop pretending while sending out other signals. Of course the situation with the Edinburgh conference DVDs also gives a 'funny' impression. A firm promise from Edinburgh would be a very nice Chrismas gift for everybody on this list. In the light of earlier 'promises' I am not entirely sure whether any future promises would have much value. Commercial companies ALWAYS cross their fingers behind their backs when making promises. Also; as I once discovered to my chagrin; RunRev, despite its "social" image, is a commercial company trying to make money. RunRev will bother about better text management/manipulation stuff when, either, enough financial pressure is brought to bear, or one of their big-time customers (???) demands it. If you want to believe RunRev's propaganda, they are doing 'fine-and-dandy' right now with people trampling bodies in the streets just to get a copy of Studio or Enterprise; personally I don't believe that at all - the rather low level of attendance at the Edinburgh conference what a complete shock to me; as was the number of attendees (like myself) who can count the shillings they have made from using RunRev on the fingers of one hand. Many, many of Runtime Revolution's long-term users (and 'abusers' like myself) do a lot of FREE advertising for RunRev; they could, at the very least, demonstrate some sort of gratefulness for that by demonstrating that they really care about these users and their opinions. Supercard can do all sorts of things with text that RunRev cannot; now, it seems that RunRev look down their collective nose at Supercard because it is no doing all the "jazzy" things that RunRev is doing. One wonders why, when the text manipulation capabilities in Supercard are better than those in RunRev. For RunRev to really "better" than Supercard it has to have ALL the capabilites of Supercard and then all sorts of stuff that Supercard does not. The argument that RunRev can deploy on Mac, Win, Lin and all sorts of other "funny" platforms that most people have absolutely nothing to do with; while Supercard cannot, is not enough in and of itself to claim superiority over Supercard. I am sorry if my RANT upsets your post-festal digestion (whether Christmas, Pancha Ganapati, or Kwanza [ and, Please, do not take offence that I did not pop the name of your festival down here, just ascribe it to my ignorance and forgive me]), but on this topic I feel extremely strongly. -- I wish everybody, regardless of persuasion, an Extremely Happy and Fruitful New Year. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I bought a copy way way back when Rev had a special offer for HC users, paid good money for the package, gave up in frustration.

[ANN] tRev Feature Friday: drag a handler to a new tab
Merry Christmas! That's right, we now have spring-loaded tabs in tRev! - Drag a handler over a tab and that tab opens. - Drop the handler wherever you like in the new tab's handler list. Watch this video to be amazed: http://reveditor.com/feature-friday-drag-a-handler-to-any-tab NOTE: tRev users do not need to update in order to use this feature. You have all had spring-loaded tabs for a week now. None of y'all found it, though! Bonus! - Dragging to a tab also works with folders. - You can copy (even folders)...by using option key. Use drag-to-a-tabs to extend your use of RevTalk: - Reuse: make a scrapbook "drag-from" stack of often-used handlers. - Inheritance: drag handlers up/down the message path for wider or selective use. The argument for switching to tRev has—over the last months—become quite compelling. What started as a modest, pre-release product has become a tool that extends the utility of the RevTalk language while simultaneously greatly improving developer productivity. We have 492 licenses sold, 26 Feature Fridays posted, and 86 posted articles on our site. Over 2,900 unique individual humans have visited our site, and they've viewed 15,400 pages. Why the interest in tRev? Here's why: - Handler links within scripts and across tabs - Search across all open tabs - Runs outside Revolution IDE (so what if Rev crashes?) - Decoder for modeless debugging (even dialogs!) - Seamlessly integrated Object Browser with inline name editing - Card snapshots within Browser - Drag and drop handlers within or across tabs - Drag and drop objects to relayer - Auto-complete - Folders for handlers - Transparent inspection (without leaving tRev!) - Chalkboard motif for sensitive eyes - Great interoperability with Revolution IDE - Auto-update components (often no restart!) - A spare, Zen mode without tooltips or headers/footers - Up to 20 scrollable tabs Excess tRev licenses situation... Those tRev users who--via the MegaBundle--find themselves with more than one license to tRev, should click the link above to learn about transferring your excess licenses to friends, colleagues, etc. We'd much rather have real users than just sales. Click the link above for details on this. It's toward the end of today's Feature Friday post. Thank you all for your business and interest.

I think you were merely stating the obvious. I have no connection to RR and I use Rev every day to satisfy many client needs as well as my own. My guess is that there will be more than one field object, since many apps would not require an 'all singing all dancing' object in every project. This would mean that the programmer could check off a list of features to include depending on the project. Merry Christmas everyone.

What ever, I wonder about your word 'necessity' and whether it might not be better replaced with 'need'. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Pointers to Quicktime videos in Revlets
Tim, Put "file:.///" before the actual location of the QT video. So if the video is here "c:/tim.mov", set the filename to: "file:///c:/tim.mov". If you're doing this on a Mac, be sure the actual location of the QT video starts with the name of your HD volume in the filename (but still following the "file:///" syntax).

The "file://" designation is only for files you want to retrieve from the user's local hard drive, not for those on your server. Unless it got fixed without my noticing, players in revlets only work reliably if the alwaysBuffer property is set to false.

Re: Pointers to Quicktime videos in Revlets
Tim, Jacqueline is right if the videos you are trying to access are on a remote server. It's not been my experience that the alwaysBuffer setting matters in a revlet. Seems they'll always default to "alwaysbuffer" is true. Richard J. Landman Gay wrote: Tim Lambert wrote: Hi Could anyone point me to a 'How-to' to get QT vids to play from an uploaded revlet?

Seems that alwaysbuffer needs to be true -- or at least, it did. I just checked the QCC but I don't see anything about it in there so I'm not sure what the current status is. But if it works either way for you, then that's very good news. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Pointers to Quicktime videos in Revlets
Tim, One other point. Check to make sure the path to the video is case-proper. In my case, I often store videos on GoDaddy. I've found the filenames to be case-sensitive.

I would prefer not to have to hard-wire the path, so that the revlet would work no matter where it was moved to, assuming that the media files were kept in the same relative location.

If you shell, or open process or pass a parameter to a process, it will work in Vista and not work in XP because of the spaces in the file path. Even if you are just writing to a user's Documents directory, in Vista this is *C:\Users\\Documents\* (notice no spaces unless a user put a space in their user name). But, in XP it's C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\. See all those spaces in the file path in XP? They wreak havoc when passed as params, etc. This is the main reason MS renamed directories like *Documents and Settings* to *ProgramData* and *My Documents* to *Documents* and *All Users* to *Default*. The answer is just enclose any file paths in quotes. So do *quote & "C:\" & quote*, and almost always your non-XP-working-Rev-app magically starts working on XP. Without this, it goes off into lala land. This just happened to me yesterday. I had something working perfectly in Vista but would not work on any XP machine. Luckily I remembered about spaces and quoting and got it working in short order. The other tip is even in Vista/7 avoid using directories that involve the user name as users will do things like firstNamelastName and this will cause the identical problem on Vista/7. It's why I recommend against using a user's Documents directory.

The revlet thinks it's on the user's machine, so you need some kind of link back to your server. If you're putting the revlet on your on-rev site, then you could probably get the server variables to see what the REQUEST_URI is and get the page name from that. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
