Re: OT -- AppleScript Help
Not relevant. You're talking specifics of an extremely simple script. I'm talking about generalities of applescript programming. This was the subject of a hundred+ message multi week thread on the applescript list. You can get into performance and conflict and confusion issues when tell statements are used where they are not necessary. In this very case, you're issuing a command to Finder that is not a Finder command. Finder doesn't understand choose folder; so it passes the command up the object hierarchy. Your use of the command in this way reveals that you don't know what it belongs to. By itself, a marginal error. But it is like trying to tell some property of a stack to do something that it doesn't do. Bruce Robertson wrote: It is best practice to eliminate tell statements where they are not required.

Well; why not close? Or delete, or rename? Open and reveal are completely different commands. Maybe it would be clearer if you consider the same command sent to a Word document. Having Finder reveal the document and having Finder open the document get very different results. Having Finder open a folder shows you the contents of the folder.

What does it mean for a Rev standalone to be configured by a web browser to display web-based content? Browsers let you specify what apps to open if they can't display web content themselves. So if you click a .rev link on a web page, and you have assigned the browser to use Rev to open .rev files, then the browser will pass the link off to Revolution and launch it. It's the same as assigning .doc files to Word. I didn't know the environment would change when that happens though. Me neither. I've used Rev standalones as helper apps before, but IIRC the app just gets an odoc event when the browser hands it a stack, and the engine doesm't bother to notice whether it was handed the stack from a browser or the Finder. I suspect this may be a holdover from the olden MC days when it was Unix-only. Would be nice if there was a way a standalone could distinguish how it was launched, though.

Richard- Don't get me wrong about this - I'm not dismissing FMP out of hand by any means. We run our accounting system on FileMaker using a system I first cobbled together some ten years ago. But the lack of variables hurts, as does the fact that programming in FileMaker is limited to stringing together macro statements. I should retract my statement about the non-programmability, though, since it does satisfy my first-pass criterion for the definition, that of conditional branching. Variables were introduced in several different ways beginning with FileMaker 7 over 2 years ago. The let statement was introduced with 7.0. Let ( [ myVariableName = FirstName + 78; myVariableName2 = 32]; MyVariableName myVariableName2 ) Script parameters were introduced with 7.0 Local variables ($yourVariableName) and global variables ($$yourVariableName) were introduced with 8.0 about 1.5 years ago. Besides providing variable for scripts and calculations they provide for scripted control of import, export, PDF and Excel document generation. ___ 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

What version of FileMaker, how long ago, did you talk to anybody who actually had some FileMaker experience? Search results across 700,000 indexed records are normally instantaneous. There are some action - like summary calculations - which can definitely be slow. If you were searching across a relationship, that used to be a known problem in versions before 7 and there were techniques that could be used to deal with it.

The point about Rev in a team environment is particularly well taken. Thanks for sharing. When dealing with multi-developer projects, another application to look at is Servoy.

There is no way to get data from FileMaker Server, assuming you are talking about days before Filemaker 7. Maybe you're just talking about Filemaker client with nobody operating it.

The easiest way to set up all of the searching, etc. for a large database would be to store all of the data in an SQL database and let the database server worry about indexing, searching, and sorting results; however, this would require there to be an SQL database server running on the machine in order to query the results.

Hi Tom. You are well into an area I would like to go one day. I have been looking at controlling a panorama head for photo work. I am very interested in what you are doing with telescopes as well.

In a way, Rev could be said to be far closer to 4D than to FMP, as 4D provides a rich programming language and event-driven UIs.

There is nothing that prevents you from using that approach with Filemaker also if you want to; or you could use the easier native record locking options.

Re: Database Experience
And you do? I don't think you have to be insulting if you want to disagree, or you have anything positive to add. Why do you think people are starting to not ask their important questions on this list? Its a bad trend. Is it a better trend to not understand a product or technology and yet claim that it is inadequate? You didn't ask a question. You made a proclmation. You stated that Filemaker can't do something that has been a prominent part of their advertised feature set for several years. Many people have been trying to move away from FileMaker Pro to MySQL because of these issues and multi-threaded issues. A decent database should handle these things without the programmer having to re-invent with his/her own schemes. Various hand-crafted MySQL record locking schemes are discussed in most MySQL books. If you want to build a custom record locking solution for web transactions, you can do it and you will face the same issues in any system. It only takes a very simple calculation in edit privileges to accomplish. Would you like to be more specific and helpful? What version of FileMaker Pro are you referring to? Record-level create, edit, browse, and delete features were introduced with Filemaker 5.5. I believe that was in 2001. These features are controlled by a calculation; and that calculation can be pretty much anything you want. I'm not using the latest version. FileMaker Pro needs to convince me with some major web improvements that it is worth the price to upgrade. So far I'm unconvinced. If you have experience with version 7 I'd be interested in hearing about it. Filemaker 7 is an approximately equivalent technical change to the switch from MacOS 9 to OS X. This a massive technology change, and even people who participated in the beta program have concluded that will probably take a year before anybody fully understands all the power we've been given. I'm pretty good with Filemaker, and I participate in several of the Filemaker forums, and even the most highly skilled people are saying holy , what have we got here! High performance multithreaded server. 8TB max file size. 2GB max content in a single text field of a single record. BLOB support. ODBC/JDBC SQL add/drop/create etc support. Multiple tables per file - max 1 million, as a matter of fact. Industrial strength security. Robust instant web publishing. Much improved relational model including multiple field pairs and different types of join operators: equal, not equal, GT, LT, etc. $150 updgrade from any previous version. Data/interface separation if you want to build that way. It is still a product clearly in the FileMaker line and of course some people will find things they don't like and will still elect to use other products.
