Spaces in filepath names? Try filenames with no spaces, use underscores.

Re: Imagesource of char not working as expected in Windows
Firstly, Happy New Year. It has started well for me because with the help of the list I have solved the above. Last problem of 2009, and first solution of 2010! I tried pretty much all the suggestions. (I skipped the suggestion of saving to the standalone folder, because the Windows virtualisation dragon would eat the data.) I relabelled the path to avoid non vanilla characters... I rescripted to save by changing the defaultfolder. In fact, I rescripted several times to use different methods. All worked in OS X, and none worked in Windows. As far as I can make out, the problem is something to do with representing the path as a variable. If the path was in quotes, it worked OK both as a script and in the message box. If defined as a variable, it didn't work. The solution was simply to refer directly to the line in the field containing the full path. So, set the imageSource of last char of fld ResultsT to binfile: the last line of field snapshots worked, but .. put the last line of field snapshots into k set the imageSource of last char of fld ResultsT to binfile: k .. didn't. The only thing I could think of is that on Win a character in the URL which is benign on the Mac is interpreted as part of the address, but only when copied into a variable, not when read directly from the field. Anyhoo. Fixed now. Now to get going with ScreenSteps, and make a manual. Thanks again for all the suggestions.

Re: Imagesource of char not working as expected in Windows
I didn't get any on-list responses to this, but got a good steer from Richmond Mathewson (thanks!) off-list. In brief, my standalone (RR 4.0) takes screenshots and saves them to disk.

This works under OS X, but not Windows. I have wrestled with this and found out a little more, but still can't get the darned thing to work. I moved the save location to docs, just in case there was something weird about the temporary items location. I have tested on Vista and Win 7 with the same result.

Re: Imagesource of char not working as expected in Windows
David, I'm on XP Pro so I can check it out for you. Is it working in the stack on Windows before you made the standalone. Or did you create the standalone from a stack on the Mac? In other words, is the fact that it is a standalone important? First, you might be tempting fate to use anything but vanilla flavored characters in a path name. Instead of C:/Users/DavidG/Documents/This_Much!/Anon 12 28 08 [11-36 AM]/graphics/image1.png I'd try C:/Users/DavidG/Documents/good/wonderful/graphics/image1.png Another thing to consider is the defaultFolder. You might try placing the images in the same folder as the standalone. --- On Tue, 12/29/09, David Glasgow da...@dvglasgow.wanadoo.co.uk wrote: From: David Glasgow da...@dvglasgow.wanadoo.co.uk Subject: Re: Imagesource of char not working as expected in Windows To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Date: Tuesday, December 29, 2009, 6:18 AM I didn't get any on-list responses to this, but got a good steer from Richmond Mathewson (thanks!) off-list.

Re: Imagesource of char not working as expected in Windows
The following script works for me on Windows XP Pro in a stack.

Re: Imagesource of char not working as expected in Windows
My rule about paths on any system... -1- avoid spaces in path names -2- avoid dates in file and folder names, such as hearth jpgs 12/25/09 An operating system can allow characters because it knows the difference between literal name characters and the control characters. -3- When accessing files and folders, do a test before using data to be sure the path exists, has correct permissions, etc. such as if there is a folder holidayFunPictures/ if there is a file holidayFunShots/kids/snowFight.jpg Also put binfile:a.png into tempVariable if tempVariable is not empty then --we have data If your solution ever gets to the point of including shell commands, this adds another level testing to be sure of valid data processing. A standalone should always assume the users computer could have changes that prohibit access, such as user account changes and authorizations, operating system reinstalls, etc. Hope this helps Jim Ault Las Vegas On Dec 29, 2009, at 10:09 AM, Mike Bonner wrote: Based on your test it looks like the comment about vanilla characters is probably correct. It works when using a string with no spaces for the directory. When you setup your string you used put C:\Documents and Settings\zhangt\Desktop\imgFolder into k For the real directory you wish to use change it to this. put quote C:\Documents and Settings\zhangt\Desktop\directory with spaces\ another with spaces quote into k The following script works in a standalone created on Windows XP and running on Windows XP. on mouseUp put ~ after fld aFld put C:\Documents and Settings\zhangt\Desktop\imgFolder into k set the defaultFolder to k set the imageSource of last char of fld aFld to binfile:a.png end mouseUp Perhaps something gets undone when the script travels through the wormhole from the Mac universe to the Windows universe.

Imagesource of char not working as expected in Windows
RevRunners I capture, save and display within a scrolling field (results) a series of screenshots as follows: put specialfolderpath(temporary) /evapics/image the secs .png into tdest export snapshot from rect trect to file tdest as PNG set the imagesource of char 1 of last line of field results to binfile:/ tdest The character referred to is a tilde (~ or wiggleworm, if you prefer common usage) placed in the field a tad earlier. On OSX , this works OK. However, testing a standalone on Vista produces a results field displaying tildes but no images. The images are being save to the temporary folder, so the path looks good and I am not falling into the virtualisation heffalump trap. I have studio for Mac, so can't debug this. Any suggestions re what might be going on?
