In North America, the words *Bung* and *Bang* have very different meanings.
It's like seeing 'bloody' all over the place to a UK'er.   It bugs me every
time. I get bad visual images.

Our "Bung" is your "Bloody", buddy.

Just thought I'd remind you.

Re: searching for a put that opens message box

2010-05-15 Thread stephen barncard
Jerry had a function "Find Orphaned Puts" in GLX2 that would do this and
I've been pestering him to reveal it or make a tRev plugin to use this. It
worked well.

Very useful for this old fashioned basic "debugging tool" .

I'd make a variation - "Delete all orphaned puts" if it could be made
foolproof.

Inside the tRev plug environment, perhaps it would be easiest for your plug
script to  'comment out' all the instances of found puts  with a special
comment that could be easily found like  "-- * put it". Otherwise you'd need
a dialog or something to do them individually unless it's a mass removal -

Re: Getting an Audio Plugin Created ( was RE: [audio] Call for an updated enhanced quicktime audio library ora small audio complementary library!)

2010-05-16 Thread stephen barncard
1. Multiple audio streams, multichannel possibilities
2. Edit window primitives (waveform drawing, edit points)
3. Good level metering hooks
4. RTAS Plugins
5. SMPTE Library
6. Support for OGG and Flac

Building this stuff from scratch would be nuts - unless you're a great audio
code scientist - and that stuff is for the machine language programmers.
It still makes my brain hurt to think of the code that makes Pro Tools play
96 tracks on my "old" Dual 2.5 G5, with *plugins*!

If I got a big audio project right now that required me to include audio
editing, I might go out and investigate the offerings from Cycling 74


If you want to develop your own low-level audio algorithms, Max/MSP provides
an ideal platform with its C-based API for new unit generators. Max takes
care of file I/O and user interface construction as well. Another option for
lower-level development is mxj~, a modular Java-based system for audio
development.

These guys have been in business for years. This stuff takes a lot of work,
blown speakers, -- serious code that can easily lock up your machine.

On the Mac side, perhaps a lot of what we want is already installed in Core
Audio, Core Midi. Not sure of Win.

So at the independent author level, I think a core audio plugin might be
do-able, not sure of the copyright issues.

Sadly, as Richard always asks:"What's the ROI?"

Re: Getting an Audio Plugin Created ( was RE: [audio] Call for an updated enhanced quicktime audio library ora small audio complementary library!)

2010-05-18 Thread stephen barncard
I think the below should be added to "Set1 -  BASIC AUDIO "trim" functions"

*f16  -  load, save and play audio from a variable*


Imagine an array with sounds!

Echo/Reverb, IMHO, is hard to do well and be efficient at the same time.
Most likely would be cheesy anyway, and this should be saved for plugins.

If one is talking about fading in fading out, crossfade, etc then we have to
have this one at the start

f17 - multiple asynchronous audio streams


"stream" meaning an individual thread of sound, not necessarily an internet
stream.

I thought I saw a mention of some audio functions being done in RevTalk.
 I'd say that wouldn't be possible - audio is real-time and binary.



One other mention - *Digital audio is dangerous when it runs wild.* The
worst case is a blast of digital noise at full scale, which is many db above
the usual operating level. Some users of DAW software have heard this
occasionally - I myself have experienced this when running Digital Performer
on a drive that ran out of space while recording -  It's the worst noise
I've ever heard, and the most painful and you NEVER want to experience it.
It can easily blow ears, headphones and speakers, mostly tweeters.

I would suggest to any of those out there considering writing code for audio
for the first time to make sure your monitoring system and your ears are
protected - get a cheap audio limiter to put across the audio output for
testing, so it absorbs the increase in level when things get out of hand -
and they always will if you are messing with the bits, just like code
crashes during development. Just expect it.

The people that commercial audio software like Digidesign have to be
continually on the lookout for Full Scale Output and take strenuous steps to
make sure it NEVER HAPPENS. Imagine doing an overdub with headphones on and
then this ear-splitting noise happens when they punch into record.  Ouch.

One more issue is sample rate.   We've reached an audio plateau at 24 bits/
96k sample rate.
This is 120 db of dynamic range, folks, with a sample rate that allows
easier filtering, and disk usage that is reasonable. 120 db, by the way, is
waay below the actual noise floor of the surrounding analog electronics!

 I know of very few people that record with bit width beyond 24, or samples
beyond 96k. This means one can record transients detectable up to 44khz !
Faster sample rates are more  demanding of processing resources without that
much sonic improvement. It's cool to say that your DAW can 'do' 192k, but at
the loss of how many tracks?

For that reason, limits should be set now to target the 24/96 ceiling and
not worry about performance at rates beyond that. Nobody uses it.

Re: Rev audio clips

2010-05-18 Thread stephen barncard
Assuming that Rev stores audio file data sequentially in the first place,
one would have to search for a pattern of binary data AFTER the headers,
which would not be stored in the stack.  Check for where the headers end and
where your test data starts and just use a small sample to search for, like
the first 50 bytes..  Use a tiny sound for tests.

Re: Adding to standard dialogs

2010-05-18 Thread stephen barncard
In 4.0 the dialogdata property is a full fledged data object and can be
multi-dimensional, easily converted back and forth into an array. This
simplifies creating complex dialog boxes with many parameters.  Before 4.0,
complex systems needed to be created to get multiple data blocks, some with
multiple lines and sensitive formatting, "through the eye of the needle".
All the parameters had to be sent in an exact order as well, and contributed
to many scripting errors. This simple change in dialogdata has made a world
of difference in the way I create dialog boxes.

A technique I use to extend the usefulness of a dialog is using some extra
tags I've created to use in addition to the htmltext property.

Often I need to package formatted text in a field in a dialog, but I require
more than the htmltext property will allow, like centering, textcolor and
backgroundcolor (of the entire field), but I want all of the properties to
be described in the htmltext.   After the last line of the gathered
htmlText, I add name-value pairs like this:


As it turns out, if you set the htmltext of a field and include tags it
doesn't know about, Rev just silently ignores those tags and only changes
what it knows.
 So first, I'll parse out the extra tags and process them after first
setting the htmlText. Works like a champ - keeps all display parameters in
one block of text, rather that spread out in two or more areas.

Re: Rev audio clips

2010-05-18 Thread stephen barncard
RIGHT. But there's a way to go; what you are trying to do is go behind Rev's
back and obtain the data. Simpler with one audio file, but what if there are
hundreds?

One could find the start and stop points for audio data that Rev uses in the
files, find the parts that will be stripped, put them into the audioclip as
a custom property (yes audioclips have custom properties.)

Another way would be to tap into the IDE asset database to obtain the
location of this data.

I guess one could just get one to work, and copy single audio clips to an
invisible stack for export, then delete the stack.

Another way to do it that will work right now would be to import the audio
file as an audioclip, and at the same time save the same audio file into a
custom property *of* the audioclip.
Two copies; one to export and one to play. And will require no reverse
engineering or making wild guesses about what the API does.

Bloated for sure, but does it matter in this day of monster hard drives?
Creeps me out about the waste  though.

2010-05-21 Thread stephen barncard
I saw no wrong on the licensing. I like their attitude, their pricing model.
Pretty reasonable, even cheap, if one would ask me. Look, this stuff is used
for professional applications, is not easy to write, and the authors deserve
payment. And they are not charging royalties. How could one expect quality,
free, and supported to be in the same product?

Anybody we contract will want to be paid far more than this. The fee is
graduated for different groups,  hobbyist and demo, shareware author, pro.
This stuff is used for the core of applications.

We shouldn't assume that these guys won't make deals - they might be into
creating actual externals for Rev at a very reasonable price - who knows
until you try. Did anyone email these folks?

Re: howto export a styled formated field to text file

2010-05-23 Thread stephen barncard
Your question is confusing to me. Not sure what you are asking so I'll make
assumptions.

The only way to save styled text in a field is by using the HTMLText or
RTFText properties of the field.  Get the saved htmltext back from the
database and set the field to the data.

If it's a database, use an extra field in the DB to store the htmltext. If
you need a file format for saving individual scripts for later editing, how
about custom properties in stack files (rather than plain text files) as
data storage?

if you need to save formatted source html, just save the html as htmlText.
It will look like hell, but it should work.

maybe one of my answers is right?

Re: howto export a styled formated field to text file

2010-05-23 Thread stephen barncard
htmltext is the only way to fully save style information. Any more field
specs outside the limited range of the subset of htmltext (like
backgroundcolor, alignment, lineheight and all the other properties of a
field) have to be done in another way -In some situations, I will add my
own "static attribute" tags to the htmltext in a way that they can be
recovered just before  setting the htmltext, then applied to the field:



these are easily parsed property name and value pairs.

A nice feature of htmltext is that it silently ignores tags it doesn't
understand.

Re: Getting an Audio Plugin Created ( was RE: [audio] Call for anupdated enhanced quicktime audio library ora small audiocomplementary library!)

2010-05-23 Thread stephen barncard
I was "humbly" stupid in my assumptions about RTAS. I should read more
before I speak.
The DAW world is littered with proprietary and security stumbling blocks
similar to what we've encountered with Apple and the iPhone.

A list of plugin formats is here (with definition links ):
http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/?id=Plug-in+Formats



   - APPLE ONLY
   - AU <http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/?id=Audio+Units> (Audio Units)
   - AS <http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/?id=AS> (Audio Suite)
   -OTHER
   - DX <http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/?id=DirectX> (DirectX)
   - DSSI <http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/?id=DSSI> (Disposable Soft Synth
   Interface)
   - LADSPA <http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/?id=LADSPA> (Linux Audio
   Developer's Simple Plugin API)
   - MAS <http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/?id=MAS> (MOTU Audio System)
   - MFX <http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/?id=MFX> (MIDI FX)
   - ReWire <http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/?id=ReWire>
   -PRO TOOLS ONLY
   - RTAS <http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/?id=RTAS> (Real Time Audio Suite)
   - TDM <http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/?id=TDM> (Time Domain Multiplex)
   - VST <http://www.kvraudio.com/wiki/?id=VST> (Virtual Studio Technology)



my personal and opinionated opinion:


VST is 'best' for PC users of Cubase and Nuendo. But I don't know any top
recording professionals that use PCs or Cubase for audio.   Some DP users
out there on Mac.
Granted, this is my myopic west coast view - but most of the pros are out on
the edges of this country!
As you get outside the big cities, and into the south and midwest, one will
see more PC based audio systems, often because there is less local support
for the hardware. (Good luck trying to buy a new mac at a Best Buy in
Mobile, AL. They don't stock them. But there are no major studios or post
houses there.)
 Some TV post guys use closed systems like Fairlight, Sadie and Radar and
are PC based - usually with their own plugins. Nuendo is big with the
Nashville guys, but on a Mac.

You are correct about the Pro Tools lock-in on RTAS - it's
cross-computer-platform though (Win-Mac) and Pro Tools is sorta the iPhone
of audio DAWs - I'm imagining 60-70% market share - huge. Anybody who is
into more than just recording themselves and needs to exchange files from
many clients - will always transport their project in Pro Tools format.
Finally, remember they are AVID - the god of professional video editing and
their systems are made to seamlessly exchange information among their
applications.

If we were making something aimed at professionals, this would be the format
to go for.

I don't think we should bother with these kind of plugins. Too much crap to
go through that has nothing to do with programming.

We have to think differently about plugins. Or not bother.

We small guys out here would be crushed by the complexity and expense of
1. Getting to be a licensee of RTAS or VST technology and those limitations
2. *Dealing with the extreme plugin authorization process if not installed*
3. Dealing with the iLok issues - probably a mandatory dongle
4. etc etc.

Now going back to checking on FOSS solutions for plugins
LADSPA, Rosegarden, ALSA, JACK, Audacity
and try and understand what is the plugin situation with BASS. if any.

(to be continued)

Different than other file systems. Pages and keynote documents are not files
but packages with many files inside. MacOS Finder abstracts them as
application or document units but they must be handled differently.
This is also true for complex textedit documents (.rtfd) and some documents
saved by EyeTv, iMovie, etc.

SELECT "any text"

if you don't get a revDB error, it's there.  But I've found there is

could program the open and close for the burst.

Re: Testing a DB connection

I might add that in a situation with many users the server will be much
happier if one opens and closes the db  more often than less.

Re: Hard CASE: cracking the nut?

2010-05-26 Thread stephen barncard
One cannot 'set the script of' inside a standalone. But perhaps a script of
a stack outside the app could be written to by a SA. ( Richmond: please let
us know..)

 I know in HC I would 'point' to various fields and get past the 30k limit
of their field system. However, I don't remember how I put them in the path.
I think I had some kind of handler switching system. That was over 20 years
ago.

Is script swapping really necessary? We've got so many ways to do things,
substacks, etc without the workarounds we had to do in HC. Is there really a
reason to 'do' more than a few lines?

I'm sure that "do'ing" runs slower, too, so not good for repetitive tasks.

My personal experience with looking at the 'see also' links is that they are
incredibly valuable when working with previously unknown functions,
properties or commands. I look at "see also" every time I am looking up a
definition or syntax and learn of alternate ways to do the same thing, or
something new altogether. A learning experience every time.

Re: Writing to the resource fork

2010-05-30 Thread stephen barncard
Perhaps the problem is Snow Leopard -
We should assume the old resource fork is officially unsupported and not
working in SN. They've been planning on removing resource forks from files
for a decade.
Back in the hypercard days, one could use the resource fork like today's
custom properties in Rev. I would store text, sounds, binaries, images as
resources.
I remember the resource system wasn't as robust as Rev as far as file
integrity; there would be occasional problems with resources, but it worked
pretty well.

Have you tried this on another machine, perhaps one running Tiger or below?

Re: Writing to the resource fork

2010-05-30 Thread stephen barncard
How odd. I remember using the Rev resource calls to try and recover and
convert some audio resources in old stack. I think I ended up using
SoundEdit to recover the audio resources, so it must have not been
successful in rev.

I noticed you want to write as well as read resources. May I ask why you
want to even use this unsupported technology today, and why your problem
can't be accomplished with custom properties?

Re: Writing to the resource fork

2010-05-30 Thread stephen barncard
Right. My question was framed improperly I guess.

If you were just trying to recover data in old Mac files, then one would
only need to READ the resources, but you were talking about
*writing*resources, and I was curious why one would want to sustain a
discontinued
(and broken) technology in a new application.

No big deal. Inquiring minds... etc.

Re: Writing to the resource fork

2010-05-30 Thread stephen barncard
Found it, Mark...
It does work.

One must CREATE a resource fork FIRST.

I was working with Sarah's *Resource Copier* stack, but it had no facility
to create a new fork in a virgin file, and in fact could not put resources
into a blank text file..

(many) years ago I remember running into difficulty with HC on this matter
at first. So I decided to create a single 'dummy' resource to get things
going. Here's the code that brought the text file to life as a resource
holder (run in the extended msg box) and using other parts set up in Sarah's
stack:

-- 
setResource(destinationFile,resourceType,[resID],[resName],flagsList,data)


put fld "Dest" of card id 1002 of stack "ResourceCopier" into tDest

put "This is a test text resource." into pData

get setResource(tDest,"TEXT",128,"ResourceCreator",RL,pData)


put it && the result  (to see errs)



I'm going add "CREATE RSRC FORK" button to my copy of Sarah's stack.


THis test was run on a Mac G5 with Leopard 10.5.8 and Rev 4.5.2

Re: Writing to the resource fork

2010-05-30 Thread stephen barncard
Mark - try my modified version of Troz's stack ( I hope it's ok, Sarah )

go stack URL("
http://fulton.barncard.com/downloads/ResourceCopier-20100530.rev";)

it 'copies' now by reading from one resource using getResource and setting
the data to another on another file using setResource().
CopyResource does not seem to work but this does... I've copied resources to
text files, and jpg files so far..

And by my copying resources between files, you have all the par

I've changed my mind about using the resource fork today. I hope this
feature can be used for a while. It might be quite handy for adding metadata
to 'ordinary' looking text files.  But only on Macs.

   These files will of course probably choke on PCs or will be separated
into something else

If one just needs the schema try this command:

*show create table*

after opening the database

this will return data like this

2004_INV CREATE TABLE `2004_INV` (

  `ID` int(11) NOT NULL,

  `DATE_CREATE` date NOT NULL,

  `DATE_CHANGE` date NOT NULL,

  `BRIEF_DESC` varchar(255) NOT NULL,

  `DESCRIPTION` varchar(255) NOT NULL,

  `CATEGORY` varchar(255) NOT NULL,

  `CURRENT_LOC` varchar(255) NOT NULL

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1



remove the tablename ( in this case "2004_INV" ) and you have ready to run
'table creator' code for the table

Autostart or Autoplay on volume insertion, whatever you call it has been a
problem on Windows systems, and disabled on macs for years. That may be a
big difference re: the viruses, along with the security notification on
newly installed apps by default.

McAffee is a virus, if you as me. For a long time mac user, dorking around
with Windows, it keeps pestering me to buy "protection" and the method of
removal is not immediately evident. Kinda like the old days in Chicago.

Re: WWDC Keynote: HTML5 wide open for On-Rev & revServer

This was a really big deal for tech today for many reasons:

the new phone is outrageous.
first real video phone  ( I was at the 1964 world's fair and remember the
first videophone on display )
the Retina display
camera 720p iMovie
gyroscope - detects rotation around gravity.

There was a dreaded glitch in the presentation, but it wasn't Apple. The
wifi (and net feed) at the Moscone was overwhelmed - there were so many
personal devices and laptops in the crowd sucking bandwidth that it brought
Job's demonstration of the book app to an embarrassing crawl.  Jobs had to
hold up the keynote until everyone turned off their wifi connections. Surely
this is some kind of tipping point.

The ad thing is brilliant, too.

Re: RTF documents as templates

2010-06-09 Thread stephen barncard
"Pure" RTF text files created by Rev are a styled text format that is
readable by Word and most text editors, but does not include images.

  On the mac, RTF documents (note the suffix .rtfd) created by TextEdit are
actually BUNDLES, not files, and contain the RTF file and the graphic files.
 RTF files saved by Word I believe do not save images either,  that is for
the .doc format.

There are no PATA drives over 500 gig. The technology shifted after that

Yeah, old G4s. I have a bunch of them. I know. G4s kinda like Tiger but they
really don't like Leopard. Some of the later ones (as well as my G5 ) have
these giant processor sections with liquid cooling and outside pipes that
look like miniatures of the first hydrogen bomb.

TIGER DIRECT has a cheap ($14) USB card that seems to be rated for Mac and

That's the good part! It's just as easy as setting the Rev property
The custom property is 'created' by just setting a name you pick to some
data.
(don't forget the 'the' )

set the SillyPropertyName of field "myField" to myData

--  myData can be any text or even binary or a stack !


get the SillyPropertyName of field "myfield"
put it  -- into msg box

easy!!

Custom properties are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Re: [OT] Mac PPC and USB2 ?

2010-06-09 Thread stephen barncard
Hi Richmond,

Regardless the PATA standard is dead for new manufacture and very few are
made anymore. I can't find them in the cavernous big box stores in
California at all.  The sick thing is if you can find 750's on ebay and
Amazon they cost more than today's modern SATA (and probaby not as
reliable).

 If one wants to continue using  G4s and other older machines, it's cheaper
just getting a inexpensive SATA card. On ebay all the prices I saw for 750's
was over $185 US.
In the big box stores, the 1.5 gig are coming down, quickly and the new
price/performance is now going to the 2.0 gig drives, and the 1.5TB drives
could go for less than $100 soon, if not now.

again, Tiger Direct has one for $24 - not sure of the compat or drivers but
this shows that these devices are out there.  A lot of this PC-only stuff
just runs. Some of it doesn't.

 Tiger has a live chat that might even work. Pretty impressive computer gear
store. They've come a long way from their 'cheesy electronic gadget' days.

I wonder why, as well as having 4 external USB2 ports it has 2 internal
ones:
I'd be hard-put to squeeze anything else inside my G4; although a second fan
(err??? possibly connected to an internal USB port) might not be a bad
thing.


PCs often have bigger boxes and SIX slots.
Don't forget there's a little area for a floppy or second CD drive in some
G4s.

Re: A problem with clearing fields on marked cards

2010-06-09 Thread stephen barncard
I don't think you need to 'opt out' the other fields. That would negate the
ease of just checking for some data in the property in your loop. Simplify!

 If it exists, then it is. Otherwise it isn't! "false" is implied in objects
that aren't "branded".

-- inside your loop checking fields:
get the nothingText of stack "mystack"
if it is empty
 then
   next repeat (or whatever)
else
 -- execute something here if there is something in it
end if

[OT] HTML5 and Safari 5

2010-06-09 Thread stephen barncard
the new Safari browser is now available... and although the HTML5 features
are compelling, some of the best features are there for programmers.
Available for Window as well as Mac.

My favorite is the "snippet editor" which is this split window with two
fields.Enter HTML, Java, Javascript DOM - most stuff you put into a web
page - and it interprets as you type, character by character.

It's kind of like a 'command line' for the webkit engine, except it responds
immediately

Great for testing... little code snippets

or paste in entire web pages. If the references are all full URLs you will
see a lot of it and can play around with it. Easier than saving a text file
then reading it back into a web page.

Of course we could have built it in rev and revBrowser.

Re: WDEF identifiers

2010-06-12 Thread stephen barncard
I haven't heard the term WDEF in a while...I don't think runrev windows are
based on that.

MacOS X  doesn't use Resource Forks anymore...

Runrev can read and write resources though, as long as Apple doesn't
disallow them entirely in the file system - it's a legacy thing.

As long as the forked files stays in the Mac world, resources might be
useful, like adding extra data to a JPG or sound file. But I would question
if Apple will support it in the future, and the modified files might not be
happy on other systems.

Personally, I loved the resource concept - like custom properties, images
and sounds we imbed today in Rev - but it made a mess of incompatibility
which impression lingers today:  "aww it's a mac file, no wonder it's messed
up".

Search a well-used PC drive for ".DS_store" files, which always showed up in
a directory of mac files on a PC. There must be billions of files today with
that name. File conversion systems, not knowing what else to do with the
resource forks would split them with the data forks, leaving the data in the
file and moving whatever data was in the resource forks of all the files
into the single ".DS_store" garbage heap. I don't know if any of the data in
there is recoverable.

I just had to shut down spotlight. I did a search for ".DS_Store" and
stopped it because there were so many on my machine and adding them to the
list so quickly that I was worried it might actually top it out.

If you search for them, use "File Visibility" as a criteria (which will have
to be added by using "other" from the "kind" popup.

I'm guessing that MacOS is tolerating the 'dual system' approach but that
resource fork laden files might appear to have the resources exist in the
file but also 'virtualized' to appear in the MacOSX system properly.

Here's the best poop on .DS_Store

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.DS_Store

Re: [OT] G4 goes West

2010-06-12 Thread stephen barncard
Richmond -  you might consider copying your old ZIP disks to someplace safer
 as soon as possible - they seem to have some kind of 'disk rot' and can die
quickly in a few years. Remember zips are still 'floppy disks' with higher
density and the failed 'Bernoulli' technology. All of your old zips will fit
in a tiny corner of your current hard drive. There's not much between your
archive and the 'ping of death' (zip drive users know what I mean).

iOmega has made a lot of junk using this bernoulli technology and it was so
unreliable across their product line over that I refuse to buy anything with
iOmega in the name, even today. I bought into the format big time, so
desperate I was for storage. Fortunately for me it all went to Hard Drive in
1999 and I haven't looked at it since!

I remember when Solid State Logic (maker of over-rated professional audio
consoles) finally offered a  'hard drive' for their console series in 1994.

SSL for years had relied on a very ancient mini computer (PDP-8 type) with
some questionable hacks ( the graphics card was a BBC hobby computer grafted
onto a blank card ) and legacy hardware, including the disc interface called
SASI ( the predecessor to SCSI) which are / were pretty much unobtainable.
These interfaces were hooked up to 8" SASI floppy drives.

So what was the new 'hard drive' ?? A SASI 8" Bernoulli in a huge plastic
case. They also offered a pair of SASI 400k plastic-type 'floppy' drives in
 a rack mounted chassic for only $2700.

[more OT rambling below]

It was so ironic that non-technical people were so enamored with the SSL,
not knowing how really ancient the control systems was.  We techs were
constantly putting it down for its design shortcuts and mistakes, but we had
to work on it because it was responsible for more 'hits' than any other
single console and the brand brought in the business. The engineers just
learned the string of keystrokes and the ones that could figure it out
became stars ( read: Bob Clearmountain ) and the others had assistants run
it.

The biggest irony was that as I brought modern computers into the studio
(ok, Macs) in the late 80s and the audio engineers started using them for
email and amusement, the semi-command line interface of the SSL really
showed how far we'd come. We spent hours trying to figure a way to simplify
the interface using our new macs, but the SSL just had no hooks for outside
control and the core code itself was a labyrinthine noodleworks of
'spagetti' code with no source - it was in some guy's head - and he had left
the company.  There are still hundreds of these things out there today.

Otherwise I misread what you were asking. If you have an app and you load a
file, it's up to the programmer (you) to keep track of it in a variable or a
custom property. There is no "last file loaded" property.

Re: How do you get the name of an open saved file in memory using message box?

2010-06-12 Thread stephen barncard
You are not communicating very well. It is still not clear what you want.

Do you want to place a suggested file name in an ask dialog entry field
instead, or have a the filename show up instead of the prompt of the ask
dialog?

Again, how would the dialog 'know' what the last filename was unless you
save it yourself?

Or are you just having trouble getting the result of your choice in the
dialog?
Look at the  IT variable

Anyway again it is up to the programmer to know which files are open and
those that are not.  Usually 'OPEN' is just for microseconds, the data is
put in a variable, and work with it inside rev.  There is no open and close
needed for  'put URL()' and the file is closed after the call.  There really
is no need for multiple open and close statements unless one is processing
data from one file into another file by script. Most of the time that is
never needed.

Re: Error in date convert

2010-06-12 Thread stephen barncard
Hi Alex,

I got a crash with your script.

This shows the correct date from the system:



I think there is no 'system date' intentionally.

According to the docs:
*
*

* *
If the *useSystemDate* property is set to true or if you specify the system
date, the times returned by the *date* function are formatted according to
the user's system preferences.


There is no such object on a web server.
**

this is why  useSystemDate  property will crash as well.

Re: What's With the Tilde After the Stack File Extension?

2010-06-16 Thread stephen barncard
Normal behavior. Rev saves a copy to revert to in case of
interruption/crash. This happens rarely but you'll be glad it backed up the
stack first someday. If someone pulled the plug in the middle of the save,
you'd still have something.

I should say the tilde - backup thing is normal. What is causing the
slowdown I can't say, but perhaps it was just a system slowdown - memory
swap issue. If it came back and didn't crash, then it may not happen again.

Re: HTML interaction...

2010-06-17 Thread stephen barncard
Hi Simon,
Well that web page that shows in RevBrowser is based on a text file that's
yours to create.
You could parse the loaded page and reconfigure it to your needs. I don't
think there's anything in the revbrowser lib that indexes content in that
way that you ask, if I understand what you are requesting. But every message
and action that is available in a regular browser is available in
RevBrowser. Same code as the browser you are used to.

search for "browser" in the docs to see all the commands.  Don't use the old
XBrowser commands.

look up MERGE in the docs for one way to parse and replace multiple
instances.

 Remember that CSS and javascript will be available too, as well as AJAX-y
access to the DOM. Perhaps you should define 'communicate' a little further
- what do you want to do?

Use the *stackFiles* property to make one or more stacks accessible to

hey Mark,
yeah it looked like a lot of effort to get to the API on the PC. Strange
that they favored the PC for version priority yet built a complete suite of
access for Applescript in the mac version. Those sneaky Mac developers


basically the API is a command line with text commands. Why is it so hard to
provide a similar structure on PC?

Re: Running revlets on the iPad

One can make very useful apps using the excellent Safari browser in the
iPhone. Many iphone 'goodies' are available via CSS and javascript, and many
controls like the selection wheel are 'automatic' when the web page is
properly enabled. And one has an alphabet soup of server side languages from
C to RunRev to drive these apps. This requires no approval or control from
Apple, just an internet connection to run.

Remember a stack can both be a visible window with objects and a holder for
scripts, it can also be a very efficient and addressable data container.

The stack one compiles as an app can call other stacks that are not
compiled. The best of both worlds.

I know the document codes are not registered anymore (and Apple uses
*rtfd*now). But my question is : Do I own my creator code forever? Is
there no way
to verify that I still own it? It was a long time ago.

The output is universal - Webkit will be the predominant browser engine very
soon and most worthwhile of writing for. The potential is huge and the
actual development computer is such a small part of the ROI.  Get a mini !

The percentage of Mac vs PC desktops has nothing to do with marketing
potential. What's important here is the future potential of creating
web-based apps for the cross-platform web using Rev, Rodeo, CSS4 and HTML5.

Jerry and Company have come up with a 'shortcut' to develop web apps and
using Macs for development is the best way for them to come up with this
rapidly. Obviously there are aspects of the MacOS that facilitates this.

This has happened before. Jerry (and Company) takes a known paradigm,
smashes it to pieces, and creates a whole new way of looking at a problem
and a solution - *out of the box* indeed.  I am looking forward to setting
aside some time soon to learn and build something useful with this new tool.

*Rodeo* is the price of about 4.5 high quality large PIZZAs at this moment.

Folks should not gain the weight and do this instead.

 I just changed an image in an 'action' and it was an aha moment. It's a
game changer, just like the 'pad. I saw 6 or so iPads on each of my flights
to the south recently.  Webkit will set the standard and Rodeo is there to
help.
