Re: Lost global variables when running on Windows (Sarah Reichelt)
Hi from Brittany (yes - I am in the sunny part of France) Sarah, Thanks for your late call. I really thought that my question had gone unnoticed. I can't see what has gone wrong. I set about 20 globals in the openStack script, and refer to some of them in a Display Photo script. All the globals are defined correctly in both scripts. Some of the globals disappear, and others don't. I have an absolutely standard folder structure for all my stacks, making available Data folders, Photo folders, MP3 music folders. I've never had trouble moving from Mac to Windows. Oh ! I pick up the system Drive ID (on the PC) with the following command, so I can build all my file paths : put line 1 of the volumes into GVPCDrive It always worked before .. But I've just run my stack on the Mac under Parallels, and I got a system Drive A instead of C. This would ruin all of my file assignments, which I build by concatenating my globals ! Must wait till I get back to Paris to look further on my REAL PC. Thanks for your suggestions. -Francis Nothing should ever be done for the first time ! ___ 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
Re: Lost global variables when running on Windows
My SplashStack on my Mac calls my .rev file, and all the functions run perfectly, such as displaying photos from an external folder, whose name I hold in a global variable. I use my global variables to hold such things as : stackname, platform (so I know the PC system drive), intermediate folder names, and I build all my file paths by concatenation of these globals. When I call the same .rev file from the Windows version of the SplashStack, I find I have a handful of global variables MISSING. They are defined and set in the OpenStack script of the.rev called stack, and later on - they disappear. Are there any know problems concerning global variables from use on the Mac to use on the PC ? I have had no such problems and with globals being such an intrinsic part of the language, I can't see how they could be lost in any cross-platform oddity. The things that come to mind are: are you positive that the globals are really being set in the first place? is there an error in your openStack script that might stop these being set up? if so, are the file paths translating correctly to Windows-type file paths?

Lost global variables when running on Windows
Hi from Paris, I'm running Rev 3.0 on my Mac, and I built a standalone Splashstack, so I could run on Windows and update my stacks in real time. I generate the Mac version, and the PC version of the SplashStack standalone at the same time. My SplashStack on my Mac calls my .rev file, and all the functions run perfectly, such as displaying photos from an external folder, whose name I hold in a global variable. I use my global variables to hold such things as : stackname, platform (so I know the PC system drive), intermediate folder names, and I build all my file paths by concatenation of these globals. When I call the same .rev file from the Windows version of the SplashStack, I find I have a handful of global variables MISSING. They are defined and set in the OpenStack script of the.rev called stack, and later on - they disappear. Are there any know problems concerning global variables from use on the Mac to use on the PC ? Any feedback gratefully accepted. -Francis Nothing should ever be done for the first time ! ___ 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
