Really great! Thanks. I think you have to have labored through a somewhat 
equally trying effort at sometime in your life to appreciate this.

In the 5th grade, during the United Nations Convention in S.F., as a 
punishment, I was required to draw a mural on butcher paper on the four walls 
of the school's cafeteria that showed all the nations in attendance. I did it 
using pastels, and it took my every after class moment for a period of about a 
month. I hated pastels for the rest of my life, but it turned out wonderfully. 
I would have loved to have done it on an iPad. At least I wouldn't have had 
dirty hands and fingers for months afterwards. Also, no pictures were ever 
taken. (sigh!)

Re: OT: Rodeo and media

2010-07-23 Thread Jerry Daniels
Andre, Monte, et al...

We will shortly have a video web app built in Rodeo. We want to do it right, 
tho. We already have a nice video page running in Rodeo dev environs for all 
the registered users to see working, explore its scripts and read about in the 
comments. It's a pretty funny video, too. By now they're creating their own 
videos and audios.

For the record, there was no mind reading involved in getting video and audio 
in Rodeo. Mark mentioned that he needed video badly for his company's product. 
I said we'd see what we could do. Sarah, MJ and I conference most evening via 
Skype or GoToMeeting. So Mark's need for video came up as a topic.

All three of us worked on getting the code, testing, samples and documentation 
for video and audio available to all registered users by 1AM last night CDT/US.

We were just trying to be responsive to Mark's need for video--which he has to 
have delivered in less than sixty days for a good sized market of folks who 
HAVE to have his stuff in video format to do business.

We also posted a new version of Rodeo desktop app last night as well. Lots of 
goodies there.

Proud to be part of the hardest working team on the Rodeo circuit.

Best,

Jerry Daniels

Kensington Trackball Works and Left Clicks in Revolution/tRev

2010-07-23 Thread Bob Sneidar
Hi all. 

I started having problems with left clicking and since I just updated tRev I 
assumed (wrongly) that tRev may have cause the problem. If I click quickly 
above or below the elevator in a scrollbar, nothing happens. If I hold the 
mouse a bit longer like a half second or so, it seems to catch up and work. If 
I use another mouse all works fine. The problem occurs only when I use the 
Kensington Trackball. Not critical, but a bit annoying, and maybe an indicator 
that there may be some kind of incompatibility with the Kensington trackball 
software and Revolution/tRev. 

I know this isn't a backbreaker, and most of you have probably hit the delete 
button already, but for anyone still reading who has a Kensington trackball and 
the latest Kensington software installed, could you let me know of you are 
having the same problem? This could also manifest itself later in standalones, 
which I will test shortly.

Re: editing group fails

2010-07-23 Thread Peter Brigham MD
I use Geoff Canyon's RevNavigator all the time for this kind of thing.  
I believe it's one of the plugins that comes with Rev, if not, go to http://www.inspiredlogic.com/navigator/Navigator.html


You get a palette that displays a list of all controls on the topcard,  
listed in layer order, with grouped objects set off by pipe symbols  
(nested as necessary). To put something in an existing group, you just  
drag it to the layer position you want in that group. Easy as pie.

It is a neat little property of layering that makes this functionality

Hi Josep,

Unfortunately, you didn't quote the previous message, so I'm not  
exactly sure what you're replying to.


Just change the name of the Preferences menu item back to  
"Preferences" (without quotes). If you changed the name of the Edit  
menu button, change that back to Edit. As Jacque says, you can change  
the label of the Edit menu button instead of its name (but IIRC you  
asked about the name of the Preferences menu item).

Not sure what you are referring to, but I know that OS X has a pretty good 
interface for this. They have a method for zooming into and out of the desktop. 
You can dramatically change the size and appearance of icons and fonts. Windows 
does also, but as you say it is somewhat limited. It mostly pertains to desktop 
settings and is not system wide.

Windows applications, including the Desktop, are mostly impossible for me to 
read. Particularly the Dialogs. I realize there is an ability to use a larger

Mark,

But how to you start your event loop? If you start it by calling an
externalcommand from rev, does it block rev?

Thanks for the answer, this will really help me since there's only a single
event!

I've done that in an external by writing a complete event-handler loop
as if the external were an application. You can then write your own
event types and catch them in the event loop. It's weird, but it does
the trick.

[HELP!] Rev Externals: running a loop without disrupting the stack or inter thread communication

2010-07-23 Thread Andre Garzia
Folks & Folkettes,

I've written a nice external here which I hope will be the basis of many of
my forthcoming products. My external is a "Embeddable Web Server" just like
Valentina and SQLite are Embeddable Databases. Among other things, it uses a
poll of threads to serve the web requests. My question is related to how to
trigger a callback on the stack when a request comes.

When there's a web request, the external drives it to some of it's threads,
it might start a new one if needed or reuse an old one. Anyway, the thing
is, the code answering the web request probably is running on a different
thread/process (pthreads) than the rev engine and thus that code can't
execute External SDK calls because Rev Engine likes its calls be made only
from the main thread.

What I need is first a way to notify the main thread when a child thread has
something it wants executed in the rev engine. I am thinking about maybe
using pipes for that or message queues. If you want an example on why this
feature is useful, for example, it is useful for binding URLs to Revolution
Handlers/Commands so that when a request comes, we send "NewRequest" to the
main stack for example. You might be thinking "But andre doesn't that
defeats the purpose of having multiple threads since they will all block
trying to talk to rev single-thread engine?", and the answer is "I don't
mean to drive all requests back to rev but to allow some urls to be
connected back to rev so that  you can serve static pages and cgis but also
have some specific urls that can trigger user-defined commands". So for the
external writers among us, using pipes or message queues for inter thread
communication is the best way?

Second question and this probably shows my lack of deep C and Rev Externals
knowledge is, how can we start some "eternal" looping code in the external.
If you think about the question above, it is clear that something in the
main thread needs to be tied to the other end of the pipe or message queue.
This other piece of code might be blocked with select() or poll() waiting
for something to happen, now, if I create an externalCommand like
"webserver_initloop" that starts this loop, wouldn't it block the engine if
the function never returns? If this is confusing let me summarize: How can
some code on the external keep processing while returning the control to rev
at the same time.

By the way, guess whos web server external can load revserver engine and
thus create a portable environment for developing local revserver solutions?
Mine!

:D

PS: If anyone knows anything about this please type a couple of words, I
would hate to release my external without my cherished url binding routine.
We still don't have super good information on external writing so things are
hard.

Re: OT: Mac vs Win partisanship is unnecessary

2010-07-23 Thread Richmond


That doesn't come as any surprise to me. Photoshop has long topped the 
list of most wanted proprietary programs on Linux users' wish list. 
You may be wondering why this is so since Linux already has GIMP (Gnu 
Image Manipulation Program), which is also a very strong image editing 
program.


There are several reasons. The first is that Photoshop users tend to 
be Photoshop users first and foremost: the operating system is 
secondary. Another reason is that there's an entire software 
eco-system of Photoshop add-on programs that serious Photoshop users 
expect to have at their beck and call. Last but not least, there are 
major differences between Photoshop's MDI (Multiple Document 
Interface) and GIMP's SDI (Single Document Interface). While GIMP will 
add support for SDI in GIMP 2.8, in the meantime, moving from 
Photoshop to GIMP as your primary image-editing platform is very 
difficult.




Well; there are a number of answers to that one:

1. Adaptability is a tremendous skill.

2. I find that where GIMP falls short, SUMO is now filling the gaps:

Richmond wrote:


"there's such a dearth of software for the platform"; I find that
hard to accept.


I've been spending a fair amount of time in recent months reading the 
Ubuntu forum, and a fairly common theme I see there is "Where can I find 
an app like  for Linux?"


Of course in most cases there's an answer for that, often for some 
package in the Ubuntu Software Center or almost as conveniently 
accessible.  But sometimes not.


I find the same thing with Mac OS, and to some degree even on Windows. 
Indeed, I suspect that's why most of us are here:  we make software 
because we can't find the one we want already made.


Of the three platforms Rev currently supports, Windows has by far the 
largest variety of software available.   But even there I find many 
opportunities for new products, as I do on Mac.  With the Linux world 
being the younger and least evangelized of the three I find even more 
categories there with either few strong competitors or none at all.


Consider also this tidbit in a blog a couple months ago in 
Computerworld.  While it focuses on Adobe products, there's a message 
there for all software publishers to consider if they're using tools 
that make it as inexpensive to deploy to Linux as Rev does:



--- from Computerworld ---

Ubuntu wants Adobe, even if Apple doesn't

I recently suggested that, given Apple and Adobe's growing war over iPad 
and iPhone applications, it would make sense for Adobe to move not only 
its end-user applications, but its Creative Suite development stack, to 
Linux. While I don't know if Adobe is considering it, Canonical, the 
company behind Ubuntu Linux, would welcome Adobe.


Canonical marketing manager Gerry Carr told me that "in a recent survey 
we did of the Ubuntu User base where we got 32,000 plus responses, Adobe 
Photoshop as a potential application for Ubuntu got a 3.52 rating out of 
5 being the second most popular potential app after Skype."


That doesn't come as any surprise to me. Photoshop has long topped the 
list of most wanted proprietary programs on Linux users' wish list. You 
may be wondering why this is so since Linux already has GIMP (Gnu Image 
Manipulation Program), which is also a very strong image editing program.

(Single Document Interface). While GIMP will add support for SDI in GIMP 
2.8, in the meantime, moving from Photoshop to GIMP as your primary 
image-editing platform is very difficult.


Carr added, "More interestingly 12000 people gave suggestions for apps 
we had not suggested"

Good one.  ;)
All jest aside, I have really lost the dislike or strong like for any one OS.  
I use them all as needed and find that there is beauty in each.
VMware or Parallels makes it possible to run them all at the very same time.  
That also makes it easy to move code and other files between each OS with ease. 
 I have a powerful Mac that allows me to run all three OS on a single box.  I 
have an 8 core (16 virtual cores), 16GB Ram, dual 24-inch monitor setup for my 
workstation.  I normally run Mac OS X, Win XP, Vista, and 7, normally at the 
very same time.  Toss in a linux derivative and you would need a number of 
computers to cover all of this.  You would also need a pretty big desk.  That 
breaks down to good value for me.

What is nice about Rev is that it is able to run on all of those at the same 
time too.  Once Linux is in feature parity with the others, I might need to run 
Linux in their full time too.

I think the good will is worth a lot as well.  I spent a lot of time in the 
past working in all the popular Linux variants at the time.  Worked directly 
with Mark W on the bugs and made a number of posts to Bugzilla to get things in 
feature parity with the other OSs.  I just never could get things to work as 
well in Linux.  Got to know it well though.  I have been out of the Linux scene 
for about two years now and have been following all the interest in it again on 
this list.

On a side note, we found that the countries that wanted linux support also had 
very cheap access ($5.00) to Windows XP.  When we told them that we stopped 
development on Linux, those very same customers purchased licenses to run on 
their shiny new Win systems.  Our market is not geeked up.  They are not really 
computer users at all beyond what their job needs demand.  Thus, the culture to 
run on Linux was not there.  Your market would probably not see it that way.  
Still was an interesting phenomenon.

Thanks Mark!
Appreciate your input, sir.

I hope to have the packaging (installer) worked out and everything
functional over the weekend and then have the first week in August as
a launch target, but there is still plenty left to do. I've maintained
a handful of unused domains over the years, so I'll be switching hats
and building a site/page for it pretty quickly...

...and here is the kicker:
 Although I honestly never intended for it to be (the initial concept
for my project began some 5 years ago), it's a bit competitive to an
offering by another member here on the list, so I want to
apologetically contact them first  and let them know
what's going on. 

Once all of the above is done, I'll do a small announcement and let
you folks have a look-see.


Best regards,
David C.

Re: OT: Mac vs Win partisanship is unnecessary

2010-07-23 Thread Richmond


And Linux fans really appreciated it.  A lot.  We get nice email.  
It's a lot like the Mac used to be, and in some market segments still 
is: there's such a dearth of software for the platform that OS fans 
are happy to spread the good word about vendors supporting it.




2 points:

1. "there's such a dearth of software for the platform"; I find that 
hard to accept.


2. "And Linux fans really appreciated it"; yes, very much so; and, 
particularly with Freeware spinoffs
(such as my Devawriter) there is no effort at all in checking the 'build 
for linux' checkbox, and it
might make all the difference to somebody who only has the possibility 
of some tatty old PC and a Linux distro.

I've been shipping WebMerge on Linux for about a year now, and while we 
have very few Linux customers it was still worth the low cost of 
clicking a checkbox in the Standalone Builder. :)


I make another product for a publisher in Boston for academic markets, 
and with that one we've been inviting our current users to let us know 
about their Linux interest.  Being a multinational audience, it's pretty 
strong.  We expect to sell at least a few hundred licenses right out of 
the starting gate when we release that in Q4.


Going forward, for my own new products and a good percentage of my 
clients' apps we're incorporating Linux into our planning from the start.

When it happened to me, I had an import snapshot command that executed

Re: tRev and Win Vista

2010-07-23 Thread Jerry Daniels
A little background

The biggest reason we added a free trial to tRev was so Windows users could 
make certain tRev ran on their machine. At first we did not want to sell a 
Windows version of tRev, but were strongly encouraged to do so by the revSelect 
management. Understandable. Cross platform being part of the Rev credo. This is 
a "philosophy" for which I'm starting to develop a distaste, btw.

When we got tRev to run on Vista, we limited our support to just that platform. 
We did finally get it running on XP, Vista, 7. But then some machines 
irrespective of the Win OS, failed to communicate with Rev from tRev and vice 
versa after a couple script inspections. My attempts to fix this problem seem 
to have been choreographed by Charlie Chaplin.

But I am very stubborn and will find a way to get this to work on Windows. Much 
of what I have said here I have sent to a handful of users plagued by the 
problem of tRev and one or more machines that couldn't start up properly or 
communicate with Rev to inspect scripts.

I strongly recommend trial-ing tRev before buying it, if you are a Windows 
user.

Re: Estimate/Quotation program, help me please.....

2010-07-23 Thread tm274

Hi Al,

Below is an image of what I am using now, I would like to automate this in
program form and add a few questions and answers with pricing so that it is
not only a way to configure a "system" but will give pricing on the spot.

http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/file/n2300376/Configurator.jpg 

I will build the interface for the first portion shortly and upload it for
review and maybe someone will have some ideas on how to code the scripting
for it. Thanks for your input on this project.

That would be the workshop we taught at RevLive '08, with contributions by 
Kevin Miller, myself, Scott Rossi, Jacque Gay, Andre Garzia and the late Bill 
Marriott. We actually showed a progression of how such a kiosk could be built 
(a very simple one, of course,) including a fully-desktop-centric version (the 
first four phases), plus ways to move parts of it to the web (Andre), and how 
to employ a database to store the merchandise data (Bill.)

The contents of the workshop CD can still be downloaded at 
http://asay.byu.edu/revLive-workshopCD.zip

Given your description of what you want to do, there should be some things 
there that will be helpful to you.

Devin

Re: tRev and Win Vista

2010-07-23 Thread Jerry Daniels
Malte, Mark, et al...

Yes, as I put to Len a couple days ago, I have had a hard time covering the 
different versions of Windows and the different versions of Rev. It's been 
sockets (primarily) and the general resistance that Rev seems to have in 
switching from one app to another on Windows.

I have been completely re-doing the sockets and startup code for tRev. We 
actually have a new version that's been in test for a week, but the spotty 
coverage of Windows remains, unfortunately.

Best,

Jerry Daniels

tRev does not work at all for me on XP, Vista, or 7. Jerry has been trying to 
fix the issue. He told me that it does work for some of his clients though.  I 
miss it on the win platform as well.  It seems to be related to sockets.

That was "the" question most needed and it's certainly appreciated.

Oh my, I sure hope you are right. The closer it gets, the more nervous
I am. The last application(s) that I released into the shareware
market date all the way back to '99 and 2001... I've been a long time
out of the game and much has changed.

Bob & Jacque, thank you very much for the info and assistance. Very
much appreciated.

Re: revBrowserCallScript?

Hi Scott,

Could you post the MD5digest
of the revBrowser DLL that
you are using?

Looks like there are many versions
of this DLL.

When you find that some features
does not works, compare DLL
versions using MD5.

Hi Al,

I will work up an example with descriptions. I have had a couple offers from
individuals on this board to build it for me but I really want to learn how
to do it myself. If I can learn to do it myself then I may be able to help
others in the future who are new to developing programs and find themselves
having problems as well. I just do not understand the scripting part and
understand that it takes a while to learn.

Could you post an example (with buttons names changed)
of the stack that you have built until now?

Probably, your application is simple enough to
create without professional help, but first you
have to complete the conceptual phase of
your creation.

You should be able to describe every part of it
with astounding detail, like if you were using
the application right now.
(including: how the application will handle wrong
user input)

Could you post a complete description of
your application and how to use it?
(You could change names and functions
to protect the privacy of your work)

Thanks in advance!

Al

I love the editor on a Mac, however I am forced to do some Dev under Vista for

installed tRev in the correct location

I guess something is blocking messages sent back from tRev to Rev. I disabled

I have had fairly negative experiences with RunRev and Win Vista, re 
Unicode fonts.


I feel that RunRev and Vista don't go together and the combination is 
best eschewed.
