Re: RIP Jef Raskin
Mark - This is indeed a sad passing (http://jef.raskincenter.org/home/index.html). I have to comment though, when I saw Raskin speak with the other original Apple/Macintosh pioneers at MacWorld EXPO Boston (2004), Raskin came across to everyone as a very bitter man. It was actually kind of sad. He was in total disagreement with the direction that Apple has taken the idea of an operating system with MacOSX. He was especially almost angry that MacOSX has brought back the command line. He felt that evolution of the operating system has been put in reverse -- that the operating system in general should be much smarter than current OS's. That's why he was developing a better user inteface (http://jef.raskincenter.org/home/index.html). Anyway, it was very cool seeing all those original pioneers all on the stage telling stories about the beginnings of the Macintosh. -James On Feb 27, 2005, at 6:45 PM, Mark Wieder wrote: http://www.digitaldivide.net/blog/dwarlick/view?PostID=2226 http://www.macintouch.com/ -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

But 10.1 is officially supported, so it seems like a 10.1 beta tester is needed, otherwise this could happen every release. It needs to be checked in beta so that the release will work, otherwise it'll always be behind on 10.1 compatibility.

Re: Simple word-scramble stack
Wilhelm - That's a very cool stack! Just by coincidence the first word that came up for me was garden. However, when I saw the scrambled letters, I saw a true, one-word anagram for garden, danger. Let's not get into the psychological reasons for that ;-PSo, it now seems another enhancement would be to check for one word anagrams of the same set of scrambled letters. :-) -James On Feb 19, 2005, at 7:46 AM, Wilhelm Sanke wrote: While visiting a family with a third-grader I noticed a (written) foreign-language exercise that used scrambled words. As the father of the third-grader had an older Metacard version on his computer, I sat down and produced a computer version of the exercise, which the young child seemed to like very much. I added a standalone splash screen to enable the young user to make changes to the lexicon and add words of her own choice. I think such a stack belongs in the category for revolution novices like Klaus Major's memory stack or my stack seminar01, which (the latter) - among other examples - contains directions to build a basic vocabulary trainer with gradually increasing complexity. I have added the scramble-word stack to my website www.sanke.org/MetaMedia on page Sample Stacks and Tools for Development. A screenshot can be seen here http://www.sanke.org/Metamedia/Screenshots.htm. Direct download from http://www.sanke.org/Software/simplewordscramble.zip (11 KB). The stack is an example of a guided exercise, where the focus is on learning and not on testing, two pairs of shoes which are very often mixed up. Support - the guidance - for the learner is offered in various ways: 1. When the learner types into the input field, the typed letters disappear from the scramble field. Only letters contained in the scramble field can be typed into the input field, otherwise a warning will appear. 2. If the user deletes letters from the input field, they reappear in the scramble field; the learner can move the cursor inside the input field using the arrow keys, then press the backspace key to remove the letter on the left of the cursor. 3. You can re-scramble the word to possibly get a better idea what the word could be. 4. Pressing Help shows the first and last letter of the sought word and displays dashes as placeholders for the remaining letters in between. 5. Button more letters, which appears after first pressing button Help, adds more - randomly selected - letters to the help field. The last two dashes in a word however remain, the user has to find out them on his/her own. Simple as it is, the exercise card of the stack needs 25 controls to achieve the described basic functionality and 8 of them contain scripts. The longest script is that of the input field, which controls the features 1. and 2. explained above. This script makes use of the offset function, returninfield and rawkey handlers, and the selectedchunk function, the last one to determine the place of the insertion point in the input field. A special problem comes up when you have to deal with special national characters, because the rawkey values in this case are different from the numtochar values; therefore I included some script lines to take care of the German Umlaute (ä, ö, ü). Enhancements to the stack could added in many directions; in a workshop for Revolution newbies I would - as an example - assign the tasks a) to display a translation along with the scrambled word, and b) to add the possibility to export the lexicon to an external text file and to import from a choice of external files. --Wilhelm Sanke ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: export RTF as file?
Apple's TextEdit, which is the default RTF reader in OS X) ignores the styling. What makes it even trickier, is that a user can turn on/off the TextEdit preferences to ignore rich text commands in RTF files (or HTML files). If you were giong to use TextEdit as a complementary app to a Rev app, you may want to look at the com.apple.TextEdit.plist file to see what those settings are. -James Dan Shafer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/20/05 12:45 PM Please respond to How to use Revolution To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], How to use Revolution use-revolution@lists.runrev.com cc: Subject:Re: export RTF as file? I suspect all this OS X stuff I'm doing is useless because you seem to be more concerned about Wordpad but I thought I'd add this data point. If I format the text in the field and then save it in an RTF file, Word recognizes the styling, it shows up in the raw RTF in BBEdit, but Apple's TextEdit, which is the default RTF reader in OS X) ignores the styling.

RE: RunRev vs RealBasic (wandered a wee bit off topic)
I had to contribute this one regarding the distinction between the Queen's English and American English. Wait until you mix the Queen's English with Good Ol' Southern (U.S.) English. I am from Greenville, South Carolina (that's not the funny part yet ;-P ). I went to the University of South Carolina where I had a British friend who was taken aback when he saw signs posted around campus advertising shagging lessons. Then only to find out that the State Dance of South Carolina is the Shag! Needless to say, there is quite a difference in the British and Southern U.S. definition of shag. The Southern shag is an actual lively dance with lots of spinning and twirling to rock-a-billy type beach music. The British shag is a more...er...primal dance. -James Lynch, Jonathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/18/2005 12:07 PM Please respond to How to use Revolution To: How to use Revolution use-revolution@lists.runrev.com cc: Subject:RE: RunRev vs RealBasic (wandered a wee bit off topic) I am American - the differences between American English and English English can be quite funny. Warning - This story is a wee bit risque, for the easily offended, but is very funny. I have a friend who worked in the U.K. for a few months. When she first got there, she wore her waist pack to work. This is a thing that wraps around your hips and has a pouch for carrying stuff. One day she she had set it down, and was looking for it. When she could not find it, she started asking her colleagues if they had seen it. Specifically, she kept asking everyone if they had seen her fanny pack - which is a perfectly acceptable term for a waist pack in the United States. In the U.S., the term fanny is a mostly non-offensive term for a person's bum. She just couldn't understand why the entire office was laughing at her. The way she tells it, some of her office mates were practically on the floor, laughing so hard they could not breathe. Well, apparently, the term fanny in the U.K. does not refer to the bum, it refers to a woman's clitoris. After they were able to speak, they informed her of exactly what she was saying, and she was so embarrassed she thought she would just die. I guess the lesson is to be careful of those little translation errors as quickly as possible when visiting other countries. For English folk visiting the United States, if you wish to smoke (a habit I strongly advise quitting), please do not go around asking people for a fag - you might not get what you were expecting.

Re: Ignorant questions regarding Macs
is there a way to use a multi-button mouse and/or a mouse wheel on a Mac? Absolutely!! I use the Logitech Marble Mouse with a left and right button AND a left and right scroll button. I needed to install the Logitech Control Center software to adjust tracking speed, etc. But it works great. The Rev docs always talk about holding down the option button while using the mouse button to simulate a right-click on a Mac. To emulate the right-click, that should be the control key plus mouse click for one-button mice or laptops. if you plugged a multi-button mouse into a Mac, would there be a way to use the right button or the mouse wheel? MacOSX will support just about any standard multi-button mouse. To get all the bells and whistles, you may have to install the software that comes with the mouse. -James Lynch, Jonathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/18/05 03:35 PM Please respond to How to use Revolution To: How to use Revolution use-revolution@lists.runrev.com cc: Subject:Ignorant questions regarding Macs I am on a windows system, so I am not too familiar with Macs.

The problem is, I bought a Quicktime Pro 6 license key on Dec 17 from the online Apple Store (U.S.A. website), got charged from my credit card account (the equivalent of 52 US$) the very same day, and didn't get the key . If you have got an address, send it to me, and you can stop reading here, otherwise here is the story how Apple entices people to become Windows users: When after my online purchase on Dec 17 there was no response, I thought the matter was lost somewhere in cyberspace. However the monthly list of account movements from my credit-card company , which I received last week, showed my account had been indeed charged on Dec 17, too. I then looked at My Account on the U.S. Apple website, and the order was listed there - Order Number W76150797 - only it said complete! Happily there was a button Order Details that led to another page which contained a submit form for inquiries about the order. O.K., I told them that I still had not received the key, and pressed submit. Two days later they answered and told me that they would not be responsible for my transaction as I lived in Europe. They provided me with a web address. I followed the link and finally found a duplicate of My Account connected to some European Apple website. The information of the account order was indeed the same as on the U.S. Apple website, it also showed complete, but unfortunately there was no submit-form for inquiries about the order. I searched for a support address in the vicinity of the account page and found one hidden somewhere among the fine print at the bottom of a page. From that email-link ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I immediately received an *automated* answer that informed me that they were sorry not to be able to offer email support, but that I could choose between an Irish or British phone number for inquiries about orders . At that moment I experienced a déjà vu feeling: About three years ago I had been in a similar situation. To settle a matter with Apple I had been forced to make about six different international phone calls during the course of a week to the British address, being in a waiting loop most of the time and being finally connected to very much incompetent Apple employees (this is what comes to my mind). The international calls cost me additional 30 US$ and much time for a problem generated by Apple. Therefore I decided *not* to make phone calls again and go through this ordeal once more and waste my time and money for problems Apple is responsible for - and not me. I phoned my local Apple store; they told me they were unable to recommend an mail address, but had to contact the Irish or British phone numbers themselves in matters of urgency.- As a last resort I wrote to the support address in the U.S. again ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), which I had contacted first with the submit-form and who had directed me to Europe , at least they were the only one with a personal answer. This was Thursday last week; no response so far as of today (still Monday here). But guess what happened! The order information of My Account on the U.S. Apple website was deleted yesterday! This is the present state of the matter. Has anybody of you Steve Job's email address? Any other ideas how to improve and promote Apple and Apple products??

Now, although this is still in alpha stages (meaning not all features are included/working) I decided to do a special release to the revolution community. To describe it best I would say its a cross between an RTS, an RPG and Sim game. I've designed the game around the limits of revolution, or that could rather be my limits :) Which makes the game feel quite unique (I hope you feel the same when playing it). This is a double-edged blade as they say. One, I hope to hear some feedback (like every author does) including (hopefully not though) if it doesn't work.

Restore Minimized App in the Dock (MacOSX Jaguar)
Happy Friday to all! PLATFORM: MacOSX 10.2.8. CATEGORY: Dock QUESTION: How can I cause a dock-minimized application window to maximize and be in focus when the user clicks on the dock-alias of the application? DETAILS: We have an app that users can minimize to the Dock (using set the iconic of this stack to true), which puts the application icon and the application window in the dock. So far so good. Now in most OSX apps, when you click on a docked application icon, the respective application window will maximize out of the dock and be in focus. When our users click on the docked app icon, nothing happens. They have to click directly on the minimized application window to maximize it back into focus.

revcopyfile: preserve file modification date/time
What is the best way to preserve file modification date/time when copied to a Windows 2000 server? I need to preserve the modification date when a file is copied from a user's local MacOSX (10.2.x) to a Windows 2000 server. By default, revcopyfile does not preserve the mod date. The copy of the file has a mod date/time of when it was copied. I found a work-around by using CpMac -p, and it worked great for a while, preserving the mod date/time, but then for some reason, it started making the copied file's mod date/time be when it was copied. And then it started working fine again, and now it's back to misbehaving. So I tried using ditto -rsrcFork (ditto --rsrc in Panther), which works great in Panther, but in Jaguar I get a file name too long on files whose name is longer than 8 characters (violating 8.3). Thanks in advance, James ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: revcopyfile: preserve file modification date/time
Thanks for all the help. The folder where the file is has thousands of files, and getting files details is just way too slow. However, I think I've found a work-around. On http://www.macosxhints.com, I found a reference to a terminal command called SetFile. It's available here (/Developer/Tools/SetFile) after you install Developer Tools. Try a man SetFile at the Terminal for more info. To change the modification date of a file just do this: SetFile -m 8/4/2001 16:13 myFile To change the creation date of a file just do this: SetFile -d 8/4/2001 16:13 myFile I just tested this and I can change the modification date/time for a file on a Windows 2000 Server where I do not have admin privileges, so this might do the trick. I won't know for certain until I test it on a user's machine. Thanks again for the advice...James On Feb 20, 2004, at 7:57 PM, Christopher Mitchell wrote: I would almost suggest that saving an internal modification timestamp and retrieving it as necessary might be easier than forcing any given system to hack its own awareness of the last modification time of a file.

Hi James, The detailed version of the files function returns, among other things, the modification dates for each file in the defaultFolder. So one needs to: A.

Get the date as item 5 of that line F. Restore original defaultFolder, if necessary *Note in step D that the file's name is returned URL-encoded. Now you have the modification date.

Would I have to keep it a card button and copy/paste it explicitly when i create a new card under script control? 3. If I give a button a custom icon (like a thumbnail jpg), I notice that Rev gives it an icon number. Is that number unique to the button? I think yes... 4.

I¹m creating a set of custom nav buttons that allow the user to jump to a specific card of their choice. These buttons have the icon of the card button mentioned in question 2, so I¹m transferring the thumbnail icon to the nav button, which of course will be seen on every card, by transferring the pictPath of the card button.

If there is enough show of interest in this topic, then I will message the RunRev team, and let them know that we'd suppor their efforts in that area! I would definitely like to see Rev get the same attention for Linux on PowerPC as Windows and Mac OS X do. I would be willing to do any testing, etc to help in this effort.

I'm new to the Linux world, and I am totally lost in the PC world. If my experience disagrees with yours, please do drop me a line! I'm always willing to accept corrections and help! A while ago, after reading bits on this list about the current rise in the number of Linux users around the globe, and the appearance of 'user-friendly' Linux distributions (ie, 'Lindows'), I decided to put my preconceptions aside, and investigate this operating system more closely. Being a long-term Mac user, I have a rather old (and now, basically useless) original iMac, that I keep as a spare computer in the guest bedroom. It is really just a toy, which allows friends to write the odd letter in Word, or (very slowly) browse the 'net when they stay over for a few days. However, with a startup time of about 3 minutes, it really is of not much use to me for day-to-day work (Revolution is painfully slow in it). Also, considering that its market value is less than US$200, it is not really worth selling it. So there it sits, a nerd's forgotten toy. After searching around for a PPC version of Linux, I came across 'YellowDog' (http://yellowdoglinux.com/) - a totally FREE distribution, ONLY FOR MACs. 'Hmmm, this sounds interesting', I thought. After 3 days of painstakingly downloading the 3 CD images that make up the installer, I finally was able to burn the instal CDs, and start my little iMac from CD 1. 'Hmmm, so far, so good', I thought. Well, I expected a graphical installer, as advertised in the YellowDog web site, but I really did not expect anything THAT POLISHED! The installation was elegant, and... simple - taking about 2 and a half hours to complete in my old, slow iMac. The first startup after the installation was also very surprising: it was FAST - taking less than a minute to get to the GUI. And once I started using the system, well, what an *incredible* delight! My little iMac was once again FAST! And the interface, much to my surprise, was very, very elegant, easy to navigate, and full of refinements (and for shallow Macophiles like me, looks are very important!). I had read about all kinds of problems that PC-Linux users have during installation and configuration of their systems (problems with video, mis-configuration of keyboard keys, inability to see internal drivers, difficulty in configuring printers, lack of sound, etc.) that often require *scary* trips to the command-line (remember, I'm a Macophile). I was psychologically prepared to try to dive right in, however, in my little iMac, everything worked absolutely *straight away*. I started then to investigate the bundled applications (all of them freeware), and found a magnitude of incredibly powerful software, some of which I had never even heard about: OpenOffice (a MS Office look-alike, totally compatible with all 'office' file formats), GIMP (a surprisingly powerful image editor), Mozilla (web browser), drawing apps, charting apps, networking apps, desktop customisation gadgets, several games, etc, etc, etc... WOW! I was impressed! YellowDog Linux had basically given a new lease of life to my dusty old iMac! It was, once again, a *great*, fast, little machine! I immediately thought that it would actually make a GREAT second development computer for me. I had seen in the Rev website that there was a 'Linux' version of Revolution, right? H, no. Wrong. The 'Linux' version of Rev that is available for download, is only for PC-based Linux (ie, 'Intel' processor machines), not for PPC (Macs). Apparently, there used to be a Linux PPC version of Rev (compatible with YellowDog), but it was discontinued a few versions back. LINUX PC vs. LINUX PPC Now that I understood just how *easy* installation and use of Linux was, I understood the reason why Linux is finally taking off, and being adopted so widely. This OS is powerfull, easy to use, and, most importantly, it is FREE. And all the basic apps that the average user will ever need come BUNDLED FOR FREE. Never underestimate the power of the FREE tag. Most of the users I develop for have Windows-based hardware. But I believe, with little exception, that most of them *really* struggle with Windows - and all of them, without exception, dislike Microsoft. The only reason most of them PERSIST with Windows-based systems, is because

Hi Trevor
You can check if a folder exists like this:
tell application Finder
if not (Macintosh HD:users:tdevore:tést exists) then
make new folder at Macintosh HD:users:tdevore with
properties {name:tést}
end if
make new folder at Macintosh HD:users:tdevore:tést with
properties {name:tésting}
end tell
It further create a folder on my desktop
H. Désolé, mais I am no AppleScript expert (just barely learning) so I
don't know what the problem is. It works here. Scott seemed to have a

But there is something strange with the temporary folder on OSX I have an iBook running OSX 10.2.6 and Rev 2.0.1 On this computer, the specialFolderPath(Temporary) command returns /private/tmp/502/Temporary Items Notice that the Rev documentation doesn't say temporary folder is available on OSX. Also, I have an iMac with OSX 10.2.6 and Rev 2.0.1 But on this other computer, specialFolderPath(Temporary) returns empty. I checked the disk - with the help of FileBuddy as the temporary folder is invisible - and found the path /private/tmp/501. I created the Temporary Items folder, and then specialFolderPath(Temporary) returns /private/tmp/501/Temporary Items Looks good. Unfortunately, when I restart the system, the Temporary Items folder is deleted. At this stage, I would like to know what is correct: should specialFolderPath(Temporary) returns a path or not ?

That is, have the native application, such as Word, Acrobat, Excel (and others) launch and then open the appropriate data file. And I need this to happen on whatever Win machine the stack is running on. Launch does not seem to work within WinXP as it doesn't seem to know where the apps are located. I have the feeling I should be using the queryRegistry command to locate the full path of the app, but my problem is I don't know enough about the Registry to be able to find the appropriate entries to query. Also, should I be checking for an app already being open ? That is, am I going to risk having many copies of the same app open at the same time ? If so, any ideas how to do this ? Can anybody help please ?? Sorry to butt in with more questions... How can one launch a file from Rev, with whatever is the default viewer for that file type? Every OS has a binding from file types to apps. If you double click on a PDF, a PDF viewer will open up, if a viewer is installed. Neither launch nor revGoURL seem to address this particular need. Am I missing something? On OS X there is a command line utility named, not surprisingly, open. DESCRIPTION The open command opens a file (or a directory or URL), just as if you had double-clicked the file's icon. If no application name is specified, the default application as determined via LaunchServices is used to open the specified files. If the file is in the form of a URL, the file will be opened as a URL. You can specify one or more file names (or pathnames), which are inter- preted relative to the shell or Terminal window's current working direc- tory.
