Re: [OT] Is there a future for CentOS or systems to run on your web server

2009-07-31 Thread GIRARD Damien

Hi,

Sad is it, I am running CentOS as development workstation for its 
maturity and like it. (I had just to compile Mono to have the latest 
version).


Personnaly I am using thoses operating system, and each ones have its 
usages:

- Graphical development: Windows. (Yes I like Windows).
- Embeded development: CentOS.
- Embeded operating system: Debian.
- Server: Solaris/OpenSolaris.

Since Rev 2.x we are all seeing the Sun logo at the startup of Rev, but 
rev is not running on Solaris :/
This is sad because Solaris is a really good operating system for 
server. I personnaly liked to use it. (ZFS, Zones, dTrace...)


My two cents...

Re: Windows font sizes

2009-07-27 Thread GIRARD Damien

Hi Bill,

Rev does not handle this, because it does not have a "strict" geometry 
manager.


By strict I mean that all object are locked by each other, the way to 
have that behaviour is one of the following:
- Write your resizing script inside the "resizestack" handler, and loop 
each object to set the right font/size.
- Or simply use NativeSpeak that has been designed for that. And in 
addition you can localize your application in any languages.


You can use freely NativeSpeak up to 15 objects or try it without 
limitation with the 30 days evaluation.

http://dampro.on-rev.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=78&Itemid=113

Note: I recommand you to read the documentation.

Best,

Damien Girard
Dam-pro CEO, France.

Bill Vlahos a écrit :


Windows has a feature that lets the user make their fonts 3 different 
sizes to make the "normal" font bigger. This allows them to have high 
resolution displays but make the text large enough to see.


Some programs handles this well and others don't. When a program 
doesn't handle it the text is bigger but no longer fits in the field 
dimensions.


How do Rev folks handle this? It needs to work on Mac and Linux.

Issues I see are not only making the fields taller and wider to 
accommodate the bigger size but perhaps even moving around the 
arrangement. This seems difficult at best. Perhaps someone has come up 
with an easy way to handle it.

Re: "the filename of this stack" returns capital letters

2008-12-14 Thread GIRARD Damien

Hi Tiemo,

On Windows, path are case-insensitive, so this cannot make any problems. 
The only
problems that can be created is a cosmetic issue when displaying the 
path to the user.


By the way, this behaviour is strange.

Regards,
Damien

Tiemo Hollmann TB a écrit :

Hello,

I just discovered a difference in given paths from Rev 3.0. When asking for
"the filename of this stack" on my Win XP Client, I get the path, as
expected. When asking the same on a Win 2003 Server Rev returns the path
completely in capital letters.

Could I run anywhere into problems with a path in capital letters (it works
so far), or is it completely insignificant if the path is in capital or not?
And is there perhaps any option to change this behaviour?

Thanks

Tiemo

Re: [OT] Ubuntu 8.10: headaches and nothing else.

2008-12-07 Thread GIRARD Damien

Personnaly, I hate Ubuntu.

As Linux user, my favorites distributions are those:
- Centos (Redhat Enterprise Linux Free)
- Debian

As Centos is RHEL, everything is working fine, it does not have the 
latest technology as other distributions but it is really stable. And 
updating works!
Debian is really fine for servers (Without GUI or anything useless for a 
server).


There is also OpenSolaris that is becoming great. But it is not mature 
for desktop usage. (But ZFS is really cool).


Peter Alcibiades a écrit :

All this is a reason for going with Debian proper rather than Ubuntu.  You
get continuous upgrades.  Whereas Ubuntu, you have Debian in the background,
but you have to do clean re-installs every time you do a major upgrade.  So
with Ubuntu, you have all the disadvantages of Debian and none of the
advantages. 


If going with a release type upgrade, there is a lot to be said for Mandriva
or PCLinux.  2008.1 was a pretty good release of Mandriva, and you can
choose from KDE 3 or Gnome in the One versions.  2009 is KDE 4.1, so its
probably worth waiting a while for a KDE 4.2 release, as lots of stuff is
still incompatible and there is still a bit of work to be done on usability.
Mandriva updates, you can just clean install without formatting /home, and
its pretty reliable.

If going with a Debian derivative there is a lot to be said for Mepis, which
does do continuous upgrades. I would go with Debian Etch by the way, if
going to Debian - there is no percentage in even going with Lenny until it
becomes Stable.

On older machines, there's a lot to be said for Zenwalk.  Xfce & Slackware
based.  Or Debian with Fluxbox.

The blackout might be a misconfigured xorg issue.  I've met this with
installing Lenny.  Problem is that dpkg-reconfigure does not seem to give
you proper access to the xorg parameters in their currently packaged version
of xorg, so this means editing xorg.conf by hand, which is no fun - and I
could not make even this work last time.

On /home and partitions, yes, /home should always be a separate partition. 
If you have configuration problems, dpkg-reconfigure.  I can't see any

reason to have /usr/bin on a separate partition.  It used to be recommended
to put /usr on a separate partition, but I always thought it more trouble
than its worth.  Still less reason to put Grub on one.  What does this get
you?

This can affraid some customers at the beggining, but after I shown the

the usage of Revolution. And they will even better accept Revolution if 
the Linux engine become usable and fast as the Windows engine. (Embeded

Hi from Paris,

I am in the process of delivering standalone stacks developed
on my Mac, to my family (some French, some English)
(why do they all use PC's - when life begins with a Mac ?).
I have multicard stacks with many text objects (some in French).
When I run the stacks on the PC, all of the accents turn my
text into gibberish.
I have three possible solutions .. :
1 - remove all accents from my text objects. What is the
quickest way ? (but then I get hassle from my French family)
2 Convert all my text data to PC (ISO) - Mark Schonewille
suggests using MactoISO.
3 - Create 2 .txt files, one for Mac execution, and one for PC
execution. In my Export/Import scripts, I decide which to use.

However, as I'm in standalone mode, I load my (empty) stack
from a .txt file, and store the updated .txt file on exit.
I use Record and Item delimiters numtochar(184) and numtochar(189)
in my .txt file, as these characters never occur in my stack data.
How do I convert all Mac text (with accents) to PC format, without
touching these delimiters.

This is more a call to our French friends who may have had this
problem, rather than a search for efficient coding. But, I will
take all helpful answers.

  revAddXmlNode tTree, tNode & "/person", "name", item 1 of L
  revAddXmlNode tTree, tNode & "/person", "sex", item 2 of L

[OT] Application localization - NativeSpeak Released!

2008-06-08 Thread Girard Damien

Dear Revolution users,

I am pleased to announce the release of the new RevSelect product: 
Dam-pro NativeSpeak!


NativeSpeak is a system which assists application developers working 
with Runtime Revolution who wish to offer their applications to speakers 
of different languages (for example English and French) but who do not 
wish to develop different versions of their code for each language.


Using NativeSpeak, a developer working say in English, can create code 
which is entirely English-based, including all text that the user of the 
application sees, and subsequently switch all those texts to another 
human language without any manual alteration in the code or manual 
adjustment of the size and spatial relationships between the various 
objects containing the text.


The texts are kept in a database which can be given to a human 
translator who can create equivalent texts in another language, which is 
then added to the database. The database also contains the necessary 
details of object geometry. The system is applied as a pre-processor to 
the Revolution code to adapt the application to the new language. There 
is no need for the developer to change the original Revolution code at all.


There is no limit to the number of languages that can be accommodated in 
this way.


NativeSpeak contains a number of powerful components, which are fully 
described in the documentation.



More information is available at http://www.dam-pro.com

You can now freely download a 30 days trial of NativeSpeak from the 
Dam-pro Website. (Download section).


Regards,

Damien Girard
Dam-pro CEO.

Re: End of line Style

2008-05-24 Thread GIRARD Damien

Hi Jean-Pierre,

replace return with numtochar("13") in myFile -- Replace revolution 
return with CR (Cariage Return).

or
replace return with numtochar("10") in myFile -- Replace revolution 
return with LF (Linefeed).


CR is the default on MacOS, LF on Unix and CRLF on Windows.
(After, does OSX use LF or CR, I do not know (I am not a mac user).)

Re: combox borders in Linux/Gnome

Richard Gaskin a écrit :
Under Ubunto/Gnome, combobox controls in v2.9 always have a heavy 
2-pixel border, regardless what I set the borderwidth to.


Anyone know a workaround to get them to have a more convention look

Personally, I disabled the GTK Emulation UI of Runrev in my apps on 
Linux. I am using instead the "Windows 95" look and feel with the 
Windows 2000 color scheme. (Look better than the actual GTK support, and 
works!).


Maybe in Revolution 2.10 we will have a native GTK Revolution UI. (Rev 
2.9 is the first linux version of Revolution that works fine. Rev 1.x 
worked but was buggy and remember Rev 2.2 that did not start at all!)

Prevents all Windows to be shown when uniconifying the Revolution IDE.

2008-03-31 Thread GIRARD Damien

Hi all,

I have a problem with my Revolution plugin, if I iconify the Revolution 
IDE, when I uniconify it, all windows of my plugins are shown. (before 
they were hidden, but opened).

My wish is to prevent this annoying problem. Any idea ?

Also, does there is a way to prevent the showInvisibles property to be 
set to true for some stack? (If no, I can use a trick that simply push 
all invisible objects to an hidden part of the stack).

Re: burned by shell yet again

2008-03-23 Thread GIRARD Damien

Hi Bjoernke,

If you do not want to pass through the shell() command with Revolution, 
you can use this trick that I am using.


Rev create a shellscript file in a temporary folder.
Your shellscript write results of your command in another file.

Example:
#!/bin/sh
wget -P/path/to/folder 
http://url.written.wrongly.on.purpouse.by.bjoernke.com > myfile.txt


Use the launch command to launch the shellscript (personnaly in order to 
stay compatible with all Unix operating system, I use /bin/sh).

After, your rev app check every few seconds the content of myfile.txt.

And you can monitor everything that you want with that.

Note: I think that this work, I will try that once my Linux booted. (I 
developp on Windows).


Regards,

Damien

Hi

On linux with the latest rc of 2.9, I am trying to get an url 
asynchronous into a file, as to not reduce interactivity of my rev 
stack. However I am unable to find a solution, without running a 
second rev program, because shell behaves so strangely different in 
Rev then in the terminal. My problem is that Rev always waits for 
wget, no matter how I try to trick it. All my trials and successful 
running tests in terminal didn't help me.


The script I use is this (I used a wrong url because that results in 
longer wait times for wget):


wget -q -P/path/to/folder 
http://url.written.wrongly.on.purpouse.by.bjoernke.com &


-q no live logging to the terminal
-P custom path to save file under
& run command without waiting, return null immediately

In terminal I noticed that the program does terminate immediately, but 
sometimes output stuff, of which I know that Rev has problems with. I 
presume these where information about the subtask spawned by "&". 
Example:

[1] 24800

So i put the string into a file, which i then called:

bash downloadfile

this did return immediately in the terminal, and didn't return 
anything. Unfortunately, Rev still doesn't return control immediately.


I hate shell commands :(

Drag and drop on linux? Does it work?

2008-03-23 Thread GIRARD Damien

Hi,

While reading the Revolution 2.9 changelog, I thought that Runrev 2.9 on 
Linux have the Drag and Drop working not only inside the Revolution 
application.


I tried to drag and drop a file/folder/text from another application 
(Konqueror (KDE)), and it doesn't worked. The dragData["text"] and 
dragData["files"] were empty.


So, does Runrev support the Drag and drop on Linux with other 
applications? If yes, I will report the bug, if no, this should be a 
feature that a programming language under Unix must have.

(Motif has Drag and Drop, and it is not really young!)

Hi Damien,

Are you sure the accented characters are disappearing or do they just 
appear as junk in the rev message box (or field)? I ask because once 
you encode to UTF8 you can't necessarily display the text in Rev 
accurately. What happens if you first encode the text as UTF8 and then 
decode to UTF16 and assign it to the unicodeText property of a field?


put unidecode(uniencode("eéàèe"),UTF8) into theUTF8Text
set the unicodeText of field 1 to uniencode(theUTF8Text, "UTF8")

Do the characters look right then?

Regards,

Thanks Trevor, I read in the 2.9 Beta 11 documentation that Runrev 
handle fine UTF16 but not UTF8.
And your solution permit to solve the problem, accented characters are 
now rendered properly. This confirm the new documentation.


I will investigate further in order to solve the endianess issues. (but 
it is a bit hard to do some test without a PowerPC computer).

Damien

Re: Localizing menus

2008-01-28 Thread GIRARD Damien

Bonjour Eric,

You are right, Menuhistory is not perfect, but if you have a simple 
static menu (99% of my menus are static), this is the best way.
After, if you want to have an advanced menu, (eg: with sub menu), 
menuhistory is not made for that, but lineoffset or a custom repeat are 
better.


About localization, I am used to create software fully localized, by 
using my localization library and it's IDE.

You will get more information about it from Runrev in few weeks.

Regards,
Damien

Eric Chatonet a écrit :

Bonjour Damien,

MenuHistory seems, at first sight the straight way but, actually, it 
is 'hardcoded' as would be 'Cut' or 'Paste':
This means that you can't modify your menus, inverting two menu items 
or adding a new one, for instance without modifying your code.
It's the reason why I suggested the lineoffset approach:  the code 
will adjust itself to any modification :-)


To be more precise, I am used to keep not only menus but hundreds of 
strings in several Roman languages to set an interface.
I keep them in a ciphered external file (actually a simple tab tab 
return table, the first column of which is an ID) and load into a 
global this first column and the column that corresponds to the chosen 
language.
Then a function can return easily the right string in the right 
language according to an ID reference.

Hello Mark,

In order to translate a menu, you have to work with "menuhistory".
This function will return to you the position in the menu of the 
entry selected.


This is the script that I ever use in my translated menu.

on menupick
switch (the menuhistory of me)
case 1
-- script of the first menu entry.
break
case 2
-- script for the second menu entry
break
end switch
end menupick

Note: About the menuhistory, line delimiter are considered like menu 
item.

Example:
Cut  --> 1
Copy   --> 2
Paste   --> 3
(- --> 4
Preference --> 5



I am French, I can try to translate you some sentence from English to 
French.

The best intuitive method, is that :
- The user set the rect of the window
- He want to maximize it, so it maximize the window.
- He quit the software.
- When the software is re opened, the window must be appear maximized, 
and when he click on the maximize button, the previous rect (not

Runrev cannot do that, so, if is it not fixed for 2.9, I will try a 
tricks. But, this is a CRITICAL problem for a programming language that

The registry key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
Already exist in the Windows registry. (under this key are stored all 
uninstall informations).


I think that this is a bug of runrev, I will try to see if I can do a VB

if I can make this key with a VB or COM file, I will report it in the 
quality center.

Damien,

Is this on Vista? Apparently, you just can't do this as a power user. 
You have to be logged in as an administrator.


Another possibility is that the path to the key already exists in the 
administrator's account, because you have been testing it. It is a 
long shot, but try creating each branch of the path separately. Make 
\Uninstall first and then \Uninstall\tototest.


I wonder if it is possible to write a VB or COM file that can log in 
as admin and set the regsitry keys.

Hi all,

When I log in as power user (I think is it power user, in French is it

But, if I try to create the same key with the Windows registry editor,

So, why Regedit can create a key, and runrev can't ?

CANELA Software

We are are finishing (public beta) an app in six Roman languages that 
uses more than one thousand strings for each language (labels, 
prompts, contents, etc.).
Each language is stored into an external file with lines in the form 
of 
As Ken pointed this out, it's important to store languages strings in 
an external file (you will open it in Excel as a tab/tab/return text 
file) for easy maintenance and translation.
Within the app, the file corresponding to a language is stored into a 
global and the following function is used to get strings:


function GetLanguageString pID
global gPrefs, gLanguage
local tStr
-
set the itemDel to tab
put item 2 of line lineOffset(pID,gLanguage) of gLanguage into tStr
replace "|" with cr in tStr -- cr are put back
return tStr
end GetLanguageString

And for instance:

on SetGUILanguage
local tID
-
repeat for each item tID in 
"491003,491000,378294,401190,401490,401491,401492"

put GetLanguageString(tID) into fld ID tID
end repeat
etc.

Such a method is very fast: changing one hundred labels or fields 
contents (screen locked of course) appears instant for the user.
Strings may include tags () that can be replaced on the fly with 
correct values if needed.

Here is an example we use for tooltips:

if "" is in tTooltip then replace "" with the uTag of the 
target in tTooltip

-- and the uTag of the target is set at mouseEnter

About string lengths according to languages (French, German, Spanish, 
etc.), consider that you will not have problems if allowed width in 
your GUI is 30% more than the width needed for English.
Of course I can't detail here all tricks that make life easy with 
multilingual apps :-)

I am currently finishing my set of software that will solve all your 
problems.


I have written a library that is in test phase, this library permit to 
localize entirely, quickly an entire runrev app.

This library permits also to manage the entire geometry of a runrev app.
Used both, these two components of my library permit to have the best 
portable applications, your software will have

the best looking GUI for each language, and each operating system.
This means that each object that contains a text will be resized to fit 
to his text. You can set minimal/maximal width/height for the object.

You can prevent also it to be resized. This work also with icons.

This library is powered by the Revolution XML engine, for a fast data 
management.


This library is a bit hard to use only in command line, so I have 
written a GUI that permit to manage easily and quickly everything.

This GUI is near the beta phase.

I am currently writing the software that will permit to the translator 
to translate the software in the language that he wants.
This software is using my library, and I am using also my GUI for manage 
my library, and I am making this software faster than before
because I can forget all the localization things. When I add a new 
object in my stack, I have got just two clicks to done, one for adding it
in the localization database and another click for add it in the 
geometry manager database.
After if I want to have this object to be resized in my software, I done 
3 clicks, I have got a geometry manager wizard that permit to me to add
geometry relations without any problems, and brain problems. The wizard 
work like that: I want to set the left of this object, from the left of 
this  and I want to add 3 pixels. Really easy to use.


I have tried my software under Windows XP and Windows Vista, Windows 
Vista doesn’t have the same font size compared to Windows XP, so, 
without my library, I have to reset all object size… With my library, I 
started the software under Windows Vista; it got the good Vista look and 
feel without doing anything.


My set of software is the result of hard works; I hope that it will be 
finished before August.

Re: ZFS in OS X 10.5 - Implementation in RunRev?

2007-06-11 Thread GIRARD Damien

Hi Luis,

I played a bit with the ZFS file system under Sun Solaris and OpenSolaris.
ZFS is a really great file system for administrator, it permit to 
add/remove easily disk, add a partition, resizing, and ZFS have

a great data integrity.

But for a Runrev developper, this will change nothing. ZFS is fully 
compatible with old software and with Runrev. (Ok, I have never tested 
runrev under
solaris because there is no Solaris x86 version of runrev now.). But Sun 
haven't rewrote Solaris just for ZFS. ZFS is a Posix filesystem, like UFS.


Removable drive are managed like before (under solaris). A mountpoint 
will be maked for a removable media.


Damien

Luis a écrit :

Hiya,

What with the recent need for snow-shoes when trundling around Vista's 
new security model, does anyone have a clue as to how the ZFS in OS X 
10.5 (as it appears that it will be released for 10.5) is going to be 
dealt with in RunRev?


For info see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zfs

My main concern is the use of the drive pool, where effectively any 
additional drive becomes (as either additional space or RAID 
configuration) an 'extension' of the current drive. Not too sure how 
removable media is to be dealt with (USB sticks and such).
Will the default RunRev file handling (as it is now) accommodate the 
new file system? I'm concerned with possible mishaps with default 
folder paths.
Or do I elastic-band some ice cubes to my bare feet and go for a long 
slow walk?


Cheers,

Luis.

Scriptlimit in standalone application.

2006-05-04 Thread Girard Damien

Hi all,

with the runrev 2.7.1 release, I have wanted to try it with my software.
But after converted all stack to runrev 2.7 and the launcher to runrev  
2.7.1,

I launch the software and I have got this error : "license limit exceeded"

My software work like that, I have got a lot of stack which registers  
their functions in back.

(a lot of library, my project is a bit huge).

With runrev 2.6.1, there is no problem, with runrev 2.7.1, this block.
I have take a look at the Runrev 2.7.1 documentations, and in the  
documentations is it said

normal that standalone application are limited to 10 backscripts.

So, why is the reason of this block ? and does this limit occurs on  
licensed edition of Runrev ?

(I am using evaluation for testing).

Can't close a socket. Bugs ?

2006-04-27 Thread Girard Damien

Hi all,

I am searching about how using socket in Runtime Revolution (for permit  
two software to communicate between

them).

But I have a strange bug.

I have opened and close after a socket, and I have got this strange result  
:


-> put opensockets()
9850
9851

-> open socket "127.0.0.1:9850" with message "DPComOpen"
socket is already open


Why runrev say that this socket is already open ? This socket is not in  
the opensockets() list.
This is really strange, because when I have got the same result after I  
have done this command :

close socket "127.0.0.1:9850"


I don't really understand. Why runrev say that the socket is opened ? and  
what he cannot unload this socket.

(the close socket command don't return anything).

Girard Damien.

I already know stdout, and he work fine. I will look more deeper the
open process command (and associated commands).

And for stdin, I have tried this, but this doesn't work:

---
put "false" into OK
  
  repeat while OK is false --I wait while the user have pressed any keys
read from stdin until EOF
if it is not empty then
  put true into OK
  write it to stdout
end if
  end repeat
  
  quit
---

Make a command line software with Revolution

2005-11-14 Thread Girard Damien
Hi all,

I wan't to make some very useful tool under linux, and I wan't to use my
favorite IDE called Revolution.

But I have got some problems :
- How can I pause my software until the user hasen't pressed the return
key ? (for example: "your name (press return for validate):")
- How can I run an another software into revolution and return messages
that send the software. (for exemple: when I install a rpm package (rpm
-ivh), there is a progress bar and a percentage, how can I get these
informations and returns them directly to the user.).

Re: Problems with 2.6.1 on Linux - command line error

2005-11-08 Thread Girard Damien
Hi,

The error is that runrev doesn't find GTK+ library (since Revolution
2.5, the native look and feel under linux is GTK+, but he doesn't work
at all on my computer with a lot of linux distrobution).

For remove this error message, you must make some symbolic link.

Runrev try to look at these file:
/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so

Under Redhat linux, these files are in /usr/lib, under
Suse, /opt/gnome/lib.

Under Suse Linux 10, I have got these file, and I have done these
commands.
ln -sf /opt/gnome/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so
ln -sf /opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so
ln -sf /opt/gnome/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so

You can also set these environment variable.
  REV_GDK_PATH
  REV_GTK_PATH
  REV_GOBJECT_PATH

And after, Runrev doesn't work, because he find GTK+ library. :(

If runrev work after set these link (or variable), you have got luck,
else, please confirm my bug report here:
http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=2667
