Quite often I use a service at http://statcounter.com/ It not only counts, but shows you the pages they were on, what order they traveled through, how long on each page, referral, and some other bits of information. Helpful for fine tuning entry/landing pages to larger sites. Free up to five hundred records (I think) but that simply means it keeps the most recent 500.

Apple is stepping in at the right time - for them. What concerns me most (in addition to not getting customer information!), is the consumer of apps/software will probably be expecting iPhone/iPad prices. When I read a comment that "$1.99 is way too much" for something some guy worked really hard at, I shake my head. This sort of expectation might be carried over - after all, to the consumer it's just like the iTunes store - to the "App Store".

If this ends up like iPhone/iPad apps then prices drop to 99¢ for that app you spent months building. Then Uncle Steve takes his 30% - You get about 70¢ when you sell one.

Yes, tried running from the desktop. I use the Ken Ray chart for folder naming by means of special numbers and that works well on my Win 7. My Win 7 is the Ultimate version and he has the Home version, I hope that is not an issue. I have tried setting permissions. I also set the permissions of the installer prior to running the installer. Tried a simple "Hello World" one button app to rule out any issues that might be from my code. That does not run either.

Rev CGI and saving time of event in users time
I'm using a Rev CGI on my server. I am not using iRev, but the older Rev CGI. When a user clicks, asking for a file, I want to save the time of that event using the users time. In other words, not the server's location time but what the user would see wherever they are. Am I correct in thinking that the way to do this is to have a preference saved for the user telling me what his time is relative to UTC and then calculate using the time that would be indicated by the server (using a script on the server via the Rev CGI stack)? sims ___ 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

My client wanted me to take steps to keep people from saving small video files that were used by the app, make it very difficult for users to play them outside the app. I placed all the videos into user properties - then to view the video, a temp file was made and that file used the data from the user property to make the video - after playing the video I would delete the file. I noticed that on rare occasions the file would appear in the trash on a reboot, inside a folder (perhaps the folder was named "saved" or "rescued" items?). So, I changed my script so that before I deleted the file I would write over the file with a simple single phrase, thus destroying the video and changing it to a simple text file. sims ___ 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

The dictionary does state: The RTFText property is a representation of the styled text of the field in RTF format. Setting the RTFText of a field (or a chunk of a field) sets both the text contents and the font, size, style, and color attributes corresponding to the information in the RTFString. Any other formatting controls in the RTFstring are ignored.

Yikes! This is one of those "Be careful what you ask for" situations I think. Haven't soldered a pot since I made shortwave radios and listened to Voice of the Andes and Radio Moscow! I guess the simple answer, for me at least, is "Listen to the sound and adjust by ear" - don't trust numbers. YMMV As for playing audio, I'm going to explore afplay, and some other options. OS X 10.5 includes a command line audio player (in /usr/bin) called afplay. This is very useful if you want to play a sound file from the command line, shell script, Automator action, etc. The /usr/bin directory is in your path by default, so you can just type afplay file.mp3 to play that file. afplay makes use of Core Audio, so I think it can play any audio file that QuickTime supports (including mp3, aiff, wav, etc.). There's a very simple man page for afplay, which then tells you that help is available with afplay -h. There are a few interesting options, including the ability to play a defined (in time) segment of a file, and to play a file to a defined audio output device. Thanks for the quick answers! sims The following is for the List Archives, just in case someone else is exploring the issue some day. The List Archive is your friend --- http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/potsecrets/potscret.htm The human ear does not respond linearly to loudness. It responds to the logarithm of loudness. That means that for a sound to seem twice as loud, it has to be almost ten times the actual change in air pressure. For us to have a control pot that seems to make a linear change in loudness per unit of rotation, the control must compensate for the human ear's oddity and supply ever-increasing amounts of signal per unit rotation. This compensating resistance taper is accurately called a "left hand logarithmic taper" but for historical reasons has been called an audio or log pot. In these pots, the wiper traverses resistance very slowly at first, then faster as the rotation increases. The actual curve looks exponential if you plot resistance or voltage division ratios per unit of rotation. If you used an audio/log taper pot for the control of the power supply we mentioned, the output voltage would increase very slowly at first, creeping up to maybe 10% of the final output at 50% of the pot rotation. It would then blast the other 90% in the last half of the rotation - very hard to control. Likewise, if we used a linear pot for volume control, the volume would come up dramatically in the first half of pot rotation, and then do very little change in the last half. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer Potentiometers are widely used as user controls, and may control a very wide variety of equipment functions. The widespread use of potentiometers in consumer electronics has declined in the 1990s, with digital controls now more common. However they remain in many applications, such as volume controls and as position sensors. Linear potentiometers ("faders") One of the most common uses for modern low-power potentiometers is as audio control devices. Both linear pots (also known as "faders") and rotary potentiometers (commonly called knobs) are regularly used to adjust loudness, frequency attenuation and other characteristics of audio signals. The 'log pot' is used as the volume control in audio amplifiers, where it is also called an "audio taper pot", because the amplituderesponse of the human ear is also logarithmic. It ensures that, on a volume control marked 0 to 10, for example, a setting of 5 sounds half as loud as a setting of 10. There is also an anti-log pot or reverse audio taper which is simply the reverse of a log pot. It is almost always used in a ganged configuration with a log pot, for instance, in an audio balance control. ___ 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
sound volume - sound engineering
Perhaps a sound engineering or physics expert might provide me with some insight into my perception of how players, playing sound, work - what the dynamics of sound are. When I listen to one player playing a sound at 100% and then listen to two players playing that same sound but having the playLoudness of both set to 70%, to my untrained ears that it seems to have the same volume as the one player set to 100%. IOW - it seems (to my old compromised ears), that two players playing the same sound/signal at 70% seem as loud as one player set to 100%. I cannot discern any difference until I get the two players into the 50% range. It's as if there is some sort of threshold, where the change in volume becomes obvious if two players are involved. When I play one player and change the playLoudness I can near slighter changes in playLoudness percentage. I'm having a difficult time explaining this... Is there some known effect that matches up with what I'm trying to explain? Is there some non-linear multiplier effect? Some formula for this? sims___ 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

button - ID number - image object - filename - folder of pngs and jpgs
I've inherited some stacks that use the following method to display icon images for lots of buttons on OS X. A separate card in the stack contains hundreds of image objects, each of these have a filename set to a unique image which resides in a folder. For example, one such filename is ./Images/PageTitles/ classification.png These image objects are then referenced by lots of buttons which set their icons to the ID number of the image object on the above mentioned 'image card'. So, the icon ID of a button is set to an image objects ID number but that image object gets its image from a file in a folder that sits next to the standalone. Phew. As there are tons of these referenced objects using ID numbers, I am hesitant to change the system the person has put into place. The above system works alright in the IDE if the folder of images is placed correctly. My problem is when I make a standalone. The first time the standalone is run, none of the images (as explained above) appear in the buttons. However, the second time I open the standalone it all seems to work fine, all images appear as desired. If you are still reading this, I am in awe of your patience. ;-) What can I do to ensure that all these images work the first time the app is opened? sims ___ 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

In Rev, open the MC Dictionary stack you just installed. Click the Home button and import all the Rev dictionary entries. The "?" button tells you how. 3.

Re: Software Assurance Explained
Thanks for the detailed email Bill. Maybe you'll be addressing the web site issues that others have talked about in another email, but I'll send this anyway. I also found the RunRev website a bit more complicated than it might need to be, but I also find tying my shoes a bit complex. There's a great book named "Don't Make me Think" in which the author suggests having a few people sit down and use your software or web site. You sit there and watch/listen as they attempt to find things. Quite a revealing experience. Then you streamline things a bit, fix 'em. Clear, direct, few steps (one is ideal) routes to plunking down a credit card means more revenue. That is a good thing, especially for us who also use Rev to make a living. Maybe you already do such testing with the web site... maybe not. sims On Nov 17, 2009, at 6:46 PM, William Marriott wrote: RunRev does have a unique policy of updates and upgrades compared to, say, Adobe. Instead of paying on a per-version basis, one gets essentially annual subscriptions to new versions, after the three- month window you get with new purchases expires. The reasoning behind this is to even out our revenue over the year, to put more of a focus on giving attention to what is truly needed by users (as opposed to coming out with versions "synthetically" on our own financial timetable), to make it easier for customers to get the latest versions right away (instead of having to make multiple purchase decisions frequently), to ensure products built with Rev are always of the highest available quality (so our customer's customers are happy), and to eliminate destructive debates over what should constitute a free "update" versus what warrants a for-fee "upgrade." I think it's actually a pretty amazing value for the money. If you bought Rev 2.9 on Sept 1, 2008 and a software assurance pack on Dec 1, 2008, you would have received Rev 3.0, 3.5, *and* 4.0 as part of that. Three major new versions for "a single low payment!" Sorry to sound like a TV pitchman, but isn't that truly remarkable? Under traditional software upgrade models we could probably have charged four or five times as much for you to keep current over that time period. Compare us with, say, FileMaker Inc., which is earning a reputation for gouging customers with ho-hum upgrades priced quite close to the new-copy retail. Compare us with the percentage of retail you pay to upgrade your Adobe software. We call it software assurance because you are assured that your software will always be up-to-date. That's something we think professional developers value. With the addition of the new automatic updates functionality for all editions, that is becoming even more of a reality. For revEnterprise users, it also means access to pre-release builds and admission to our exclusive "Improve" list (a forum that perhaps needs to be renamed at some point, as we are now better at acting upon input for improvement from all corners). [The term "software assurance" isn't as non-standard as you would think, by the way. Microsoft calls their similar program exactly that.] Although new purchasers are entitled to three months of updates and upgrades free (so you can be sure you'll get bug fixes, etc.), they also have a full year of eligibility for the "Early" assurance pack price. After that, the cost for an assurance pack essentially doubles. The exception we made for select customers with the offer below is a very short-term incentive to encourage people who mostly have been stuck in the 2.9 or even 2.6.1 era to try out the new, much-more- usable and much-more-capable Rev 4.0. (It's time to come back to the fold!) Quite honestly, the behavior we want to encourage is for customers to purchase Rev, then make the annual assurance plan purchase more or less automatic. I suppose a downside is that there are some people who are always going to "kick the tires" before they spend any more than they have to, but having an assurance plan not only works out best for you in the long run, but is the best way to support RunRev's continuing efforts to deliver great software. - Bill p.s.: Think about it: $99/year and you could have gotten three fantastic new versions ... and support a company that's working really hard to not only earn a spot on your desktop, but also change the way the world thinks about software. Richard Gaskin wrote: Bill Marriott wrote: The Order Now button directs to to the "Early" software assurance package page for your edition of Rev. How many people looking for "upgrade" will think of "assurance"? When I think of "assurance" I think of the Crimson Permanent Assurance Company. ;) <

Re: Anyone know of a hue sort stack?
Dr. Campbell, As you state, the programming involved is not terribly complex. Perhaps I'd make use of "grab", "mousedown", checking position of objects. The scoring math should be easy to apply unless there is something not readily evident in the online example. I'm sure I could easily produce this for you for a minimal fee. I've worked on neurological testing applications before. I was the sole developer for an upper body orthopedic analysis application, featuring 15 video guided, standard medical tests (Apley's, Finkelstein's, Phalen's, etc.). The application used the results of the tests to assign preventative and rehabilitation exercises out of a set of 100 various video guided exercises. A very short reference on my experience is at: http://ezpzapps.com/sims/ I'm currently developing an application for a film director in the UK but am seeking additional work. Diverse portfolios and interests are good to have.
