Bought a HighPoint 2680 SATA card because they claimed Debian compatibility. But their stock drivers are so old, I can't even find the distribution they match. They also have the source code so you can compile a new kernel to support the card. I tried, but being a Linux newbie, failed in all attempts. Can't even get the 'tree' downloaded, whatever that is! If, say, I could pay one of you to compile the kernel/driver for me, is there a way you can do that and then send it to me for an easy install here? No idea if kernel files can just be swapped out...

Re: How to reorder lines in a list field (understood!)
Bonjour, Thanks to this how to I have understood why my drag and drop scripts is working on my test stack and not working in my app. It is because, in my app; the field is part of a group (not in my test stack)!! It is a bug (# 6823) exhibited by Éric Chatonet in 2008/07 with version 2.9.0 RC4: In a grouped field, dragLeave is sent even if the mouse is within the field rect. while If the field is not grouped it works as expected.

If I remove the dgs, or lock messages before going to the card, everything is speedy. Now I wonder: Can I lock messages before going to said card and avoid the lagging and still being able to populate may data? Malte, zryip is correct in that the Data Grid will be initialized later on if preopenControl is never received. If you want to see exactly what is going on check out the private command _Initialize in the script of btn Data Grid of stack revdatagridlibrary. Given that persistent data is set to false and you don't have any data in the grids then I think the most time intensive operation would be when the table columns are created in the call to _table.CreateColumns. You could experiment with commenting out some of the code in _Initialize to determine where the bottle neck is.

Just tossing this out there, but I *love* this behavior. I'm sure there are situations where it's undesirable, but are easily compensated for by just adding another delimiter.

Re: delete chunk.
This seems perfectly intuitive to me. When you delete an item, you are doing something entirely different than just manipulating the contents of an item. In one case you reduce the number of items. In the other you merely insert, or remove, data from them.For example, a,b,,, has five items. Putting empty, or anything, into item 4, say, makes sense, and we have not changed the number of itms at all. I think it all may just be a misperception, having to do with the last item being perceived differently from an interior item.

Re: delete chunk.
Actually, I think that's exactly the problem. a,b,,, has 4 items. The trailing , is ignored. a,b,,,e has 5 items. putting a space, or some type of invisible char after the trailing , makes it 5 items. It drives me nuts, if the comma is there it should designate a null item whether its in the middle or at the end.

Hi Craig, I have a special marked card that is always marked. This because I also want it to be included when a text file is saved. I only want the special card to be accessible via a button. In addition, I have other marked cards that the user has access to while using my application. I use the marked cards for the user to go from one marked card to others that are marked. I also use marked cards for printing. So, the special marked card is always saved even if it is empty. This special marked card is reserved for the user when a certain type of meeting is needed. When the user clicks on a button to go to this special card, the user can fill it out and print it. Then save it along with the other marked cards.

Re: delete chunk.
Hi Alex, I am starting to agree with you that some of this becomes counterintuitive. Not hard to work around, but potentially confusing to a newcomer.

Re: Skipping a mark card
Craig, I found that by checking the Find Command ignores box of the special marked card that I don't want the user to access using the marked command works! But this card has to be the last marked card in the stack to work. When the user is on the next to last marked card and clicks on a navigation button to go to next marked card, the button does nothing. But on other marked cards it works. So this keeps the user from accessing the special marked card using navigation buttons.

Re: delete chunk.
It helps if I think of it that way but in the case of empty items in the middle of a line it doesn't behave that way. Still terminates nothing, but is counted as an item. Despite all the conversation, I've never really run into it as a problem except when I was playing with merge one day. Had a string like [[item1]],[[item2]],[[item3]] and would merge it, and was lost when some of my items were empty, and the number of items would return different values based on which item was empty. Real confusing for a newbie when you can do if item 2 is empty then.. but not if the last item is empty when you expect there to be 3 items. The way it works currently, you can never check to see if the last item is empty because it never can be. If it is, it will check the next one to the left instead. I just changed how I do things so it's not a big deal. I got curious one day and did some tests. Building a long list (multi row/column) by looping and using put something into item # line # of tListImMaking was horrendously slow when compared to put whateveritemsyouneedonthisline return after tListImMaking, and then truncating the last return, so that eliminated a percentage of the things I was attempting and shoved me down different roads.

Re: delete chunk.
So think about this. If we only regard the delimiter as a delimiter between items (rather than a terminator), then how would we have a container with zero items? I mean, if 1 delimiter indicates the presence of two items, then zero delimiters would indicate one item. would an empty container have zero items, or one item that is empty?

Re: delete chunk.
Hmm. I get your point, and now I think I have a little bit of gray leaking out my left ear. If you look at it as if the delimiter is both an instigator AND a terminator, then if you have a var with , in it, it seems like it should be 2 empty (and pointless) items. I had been thinking that it could be considered an instigator only with an assumed delimiter before the first item, but then as you say, empty isn't empty, empty would be 1 empty item. This also explains why I will never ever write my own intepreter/compiler. Too many things I will never understand well enough. Love trying to get my head around things, failure to do so can be as educational as success if not more so.

Re: delete chunk.
I agree it would be great to be able to say set the payAttentionToTrailingDelimiters to true But in the meantime you can use the fact that doubling a trailing delimiter will be ignored. repeat for each line L in tData if the last item of (L the itemDel) is empty then -- deal with an empty one else -- use the last item of L which is not empty end if Thanks, Alex... that's something I do when I need to, but it seems like more of a workaround to me, which is why I'd rather have some kind of global setting I could turn on when I needed it. In some ways it's like like the wholematches... I don't believe we had that in HyperCard, so if you were trying to see if a whole something matched, you had to do slap the delimiters in front of and after everything, like: -- imagine field 1 has a CR-delimited list of different kinds of fruit if offset((cr pears cr),(cr tFruit cr)) 0 then... It's so much easier to say: set the wholeMatches to true if lineOffset(pear,tFruit) 0 then...

Re: Path and File Questions for On-Rev
if you set the defaultfolder to the defaultFolder /myFolder and then put the files you should be good to go. delete file takes a path as argument so if you don't want to set the default folder for that you can specify a relative (based on current default folder) or absolute path delete file pathtofolder/filetodelete and the result will contain a fail message if the file was not found.

plisted off ?
I just released a new version of the Demo of my upcoming Devawriter Pro and got this back from the people at MacUpdate: You recently submitted an update request in which you referred to the latest version of DevaWriter Pro as simply RC2, but according to the version strings in the info.plist file, it is 4.0.0.950. Is this a release candidate for Version 4.0? Please let me know so that I can clarify this version number discrepancy. Umm . . . 1. Am I missing something? Having set the version number as 'R2' in the standalone builder; why does the info.plist contain the version number of the development IDE? 2. Is there a simple way to circumvent this? Short of cracking open the Mac .app package and editing the info.plist with a text editor? ___ 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
dns validation of .fr domain and on-rev
Hi there, I'm trying to install a new companion domain on my on-rev account without success, at least for yet, because this domain, widestep.fr, needs, because the .fr, to pass the AFNIC (french NIC office) dns validator tests and it is n't the case at the moment. Did anyone had more success in installing such an .fr domain on its own on-rev account ? Any help greatly appreciated, Best regards, -- Pierre Sahores mobile : (33) 6 03 95 77 70 www.wrds.com www.sahores-conseil.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: Path and File Questions for On-Rev
better than that is to create a listFiles function such as: function listFiles pPath put the defaultfolder into tCurrentDefaultFolder set the defaultfolder to pPath get the files set the defaultfolder to tCurrentDefaultFolder return it end listFiles This way, you don't risk overwriting the default folder. Sometimes you want to list the files somewhere but don't want to change the folder there, this solves your problems andre On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 5:12 PM, Mike Bonner bonnm...@gmail.com wrote: if you set the defaultfolder to the defaultFolder /myFolder and then put the files you should be good to go. delete file takes a path as argument so if you don't want to set the default folder for that you can specify a relative (based on current default folder) or absolute path delete file pathtofolder/filetodelete and the result will contain a fail message if the file was not found.

Charles. I see.

You might try preOpenCard which is sent before the user see the card being opened. On Nov 3, 2010, at 1:56 PM, dunb...@aol.com wrote: Charles. I see.
