Mac standalones (Rev 4.0) don't run under Jaguar (10.2.8)
Not sure if anyone out there is even still supporting Jaguar with their apps, but we are (schools tend to take forever to upgrade equipment/operating systems). We are in the process of doing an update to our software. We switched to Rev 4.0 for this update in order to fix a few bugs. Unfortunately, it's looking like standalones built with Rev 4.0 do not run under Jaguar. We're getting the infamous bouncing icon in the dock and then it crashes. Is anyone else seeing this? The jaguar_theme_support bundle is still in the Plugins folder in the app bundle, so I'm assuming this issue is not intentional (in other words, RunRev have not intentionally dropped support for 10.2.x). This It seems like we've had this happen in the past, where switching to a new version of Rev caused a problem like this. What I can't remember though is if there ended up being an easy fix for it, or if we had to revert to a previous version of Rev. I've checked permissions on the app bundle, which is usually the cause of such behavior, but everything looks fine to me. I've compared the info.plist files between the previous version of our app (built with Rev 3.0) and this version (built with 4.0) and the only differences are version information. Everything seems to be correct there. So I'm worried it's an engine problem. Can anyone shed some light on this? Any ideas as to what I could try to make it work? We're in a bit of a pickle if we can't get this to work.

Make sure your systems have been updated as far as they will go (i.e. to 10.3.9) and things should work. ___ 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: Mac standalones (Rev 4.0) don't run under Jaguar (10.2.8)
I'm sorry, I got hold of the wrong end of the stick. I believe that RunRev 4 cannot cope 'below' 10.3.9. At New Year I had to put 10.3 on an antiquated tray-loader G3 iMac as that was the only machine I had access to for 2 weeks: to get RunRev 4 just to function I had to go up to 10.3.9; which, bye-the-bye, was as far as that machine would go; and even then it was a little bit asthmatic . . . :) Frankly, far simpler (unless your stacks have all the latest bells and whistles), to go back to the future with an earlier instantiation of RunRev. ___ 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: Mac standalones (Rev 4.0) don't run under Jaguar (10.2.8)
After doing a little more research, it appears that a standalone built with Rev 3.5 does indeed work just fine running under 10.2. One built with Rev 4.0 does not. So does anyone know if Rev dropped support for 10.2 when they released 4.0. If so, why is the Jaguar theme support plugin still part of the app bundle? I will probably end up writing to Rev support about this, but thought I'd ask here first. Responses tend to be a little faster in arriving. Thanks again.

Yes, 'instantiation' - grab a dictionary; one of my favourite words from when I read my way through John Locke's 'On Human Understanding'. Mind you; 'instantiation' in this context, in isolation, could be misinterpreted; so think 'earlier instantiation' as in a copy of RunRime Revolution with an earlier version number - when you think about what a clumsy mouthful that is you will begin to appreciate 'earlier instantiation' . . . :) ___ 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

Never mind, I figured it out. I'm propping up my Macbook Pro with it. It's just about eye level now. What wonderful devices these 'Dictionaries'. Odd name tho'. I am going to have to google what the word 'Dictionary' actually means. Bob On Jun 15, 2010, at 2:01 PM, Richmond wrote: On 06/15/2010 11:49 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: Okay, I have a dictionary.
