Parentheses in Menu Items
So I have this menu control on a card. I want to put parentheses in some of the items. However the manual says that putting an open-parentheses in any menuitem disables the item. Instead you should use \(. So I have written a script to fix that problem, but the backslash still appears instead of being eaten. So I decided to find out what would happen if I removed the backslash, and lo and behold the menuitem is not disabled and the parenthesis appears. So am I missing something here? -- EB White - Be obscure clearly. ___ 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: Parentheses in Menu Items
Hi Mikey, The backslash is only necessary if the left parenthesis is the first character of the text of the menu item. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

Re: putting numbers into parentheses
Peter, Actually, I did that yesterday! I thought that was easier than using parentheses. Thanks for your suggestion. Why not put these values in a different color, such as red, instead of using parens or brackets? Under most conditions that should be fairly easy.

W(h)ither Rev??? - (was sundry recent rants, with ever-increasing parentheses and unending tree branches)
Having read the latest Mathewson v. Kane mini-rant, I thought it was
about time somebody long-in-the-tooth, white-haired and Gandalf-like
synthesised a few things. As a persistent, silent reader for many
years on this list, I assume I can be allowed one message of
(positively) negative comment before I am banned or threatened with
legal action!
Going back to all the HyperCard nostalgia, as I remember it, HC was
intended to become another 'atom' of QuickTime to supply the
interactive multi-platform programming element - but Apple were weak
at the time and somebody powerful and threatening from outside killed
that great development idea off. So we developers all reluctantly had
to abandon HC, fork out big money and migrate to Director/Flash/etc.
to make our software multi-platform, get it onto the web and into the
global market. Instead of an 'Open Source'-like, killer-platform that
would have been QTHC, we ended up with all the present HC--Rev
clones, practically divorced from the main multi-platform UI of the
web browser, and with QT as an under-developed dying duck, losing out
to Real and MS. They all remain as small or shrinking applications
with an ambiguous identity in a now much wider web-based (soon to be
mobile-based) world.
Rev tries hard to be a commercial company with a proprietary app, but
it still suffers from the same ill-defined usage identity that HC
did. It has unfortunately alienated many of the 'academic' users who
made HC what it was, 'Open Source' in all but name, believing that
these 'freeby people' were the cause of its demise (even if people s
had by then been forced to start paying a fair amount for it!!) while
the truth is that HC failed because Apple were unable to make it
multiplatform and web-embeddable.
Rev continues to contemplate its own navel with all its talk of
'pros' on this list, while consistently looking down its nose at the
so-called hobbyist, newby or daft-headed academic (consider this:
would that 'million dollar app' have been made if it were not through
the cooperation of an academic with a bright idea and a brilliant Rev
programmer??). The list is mainly filled with posts from self-styled
'experts' who are actual investors in the company and make their
living from its success or failure and therefore are biassed by
definition. Their comments prove nothing to me and merely try to
overshadow others with their barrage of positive messages.
Having been in at the beginning of the hypertext 'revolution' (almost
2 decades ago, before CDs and the web even existed) and already
building multimedia educational apps in HC and ToolBook, I have ever
since been waiting for the multi-platform successor to bring me back
to the user-friendly, universal app we all ('pro' or 'hobbyist')
deserve. But I am still waiting for Rev to prove itself as a stable
and reliable vehicle for delivering software in a global market - I
stopped updating a year ago and certainly won't be continually
updating every year until it does exactly what Richmond Mathewson
says and sorts out a stable, 'virtually' bug-free version. But, as
Scott Kane says, if things continue as they are I expect global
events and other orgs will have overtaken Rev by then ...
Wake up Rev management/programming team! Open up to a cooperative,
community-based strategy which welcomes criticism and innovation and
is openly friendly to its user base - evolve, mature and learn to be
flame proof! Allow people to produce Rev advice sites and repository
sites or to form non-commercial user groups, instead of saying No,
we'll set this up, since we know what we are doing and can do it
better, and then effectively strangle these initiatives by always
failing to come up with the goods because you obviously don't have
the resources. Control-freakery will merely leave you as a small
struggling company in a small commercial backwater, instead of being
the globally recognised and commercially successful HC/MC successor
you ought to be by now.
I suggest non-flame-resistant 'experts' and others who may feel
aggrieved at what I have said should contemplate the positive message
intended in this comment, before blinkeredly concentrating on their
own personal ego defences - now and again we all have to suffer some
unintended unfair criticism to see the error of our ways, and I am
quite willing to be the first to accept that what I have said here
may contain some ...
End of one-off, non-continuing comment!
Mike

Re: W(h)ither Rev??? - (was sundry recent rants, with ever-increasing parentheses and unending tree branches)
Mike et al. I am not an investor. I produce open source apps and closed source apps in Rev. I produce them in Macs and deliver in windows and linux with success. And yes, I build web applications in Rev. I am not biased. Some stuff could be made simpler or easier, like the FFI and being able to use native syntax but I don't think and open source revolution is the way to go now. I belive we would not have that wonderful team we have working full time on the product if we went opensource. There are many threads on this list by people telling runrev how to manage their business. Of all the xTalks out there, they appear to be the only one gaining grounds and staying up. And I keep seeing lots of I know more bout management of a company than all you guys mails on the list. They are closed source, that does not mean tyranny or that we're on a fight with them. I am getting really tired of those threads. No one said a single plausible, logical, reason to go open source now. I don't care about 20 years ago, Rev is not HC. RunRev is not Apple, Adobe or Google. RunRev is a small team company in scotland. We can work together, we've been doing that for years and we're doing fine. If you guys belive that open source would squash bugs, then why don't you gather a group and build regression tests. Then when RunRev team builds a new engine, they can try your tests and please you. I am tired of OSS pointless discussions... I want to get back to talking code, software and things like that. We can build repositories of code you know, there are plenty, we even have a subversion external that Chris and Chipp presented in RevCon West. We can build open source libraries, check libCGI or my EasyCGI. We can build web applications, we could do better in that area, but still we can! check http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/lexicon for a web app made with Rev.

As a hobbyist/daft-headed academic, I don't understand this remark. When Metacard was $1,000 a license and I complained to Rev that hobbyist/academics couldn't afford/wouldn't pay $1,000 a license, they came out with a series of reasonably-priced feature-reduced versions to meet the hobbyist/academic need. Dan Shafer Rev produced a much-needed book aimed at the same. Rev Jacque organized a series of web-based conference and tutorial stacks. And I am reasonably certain that there are other similar examples that I'm just not recalling at the moment.

Andre Garzia wrote perhaps the most cogent statement of all threads on open source and quality concerns in the history of this list: If you guys believe that open source would squash bugs, then why don't you gather a group and build regression tests. A lot of folks here share a good many opinions about quality, some about the unrealized benefits of open source process, and a few about both. So now Andre has reminded us that the sum of these posts imply a sort of invitation: Use the open source process to design, build, and deliver a framework for automated regression and soak testing, perhaps with a system which would allow other to provide additional modules to test other features whenever they have time to write them. --===-- http://youtube.com/watch?v=OtuYWyjk4ZI --===-- I have plenty of server space at revJournal.com, and as a site that bills itself as being of, for, and by Revolution developers it seems a natural home for such things. revJournal.com will provide space and FTP access for any Revolution open source initiative which is able to get past the prototype stage.

Re: # actually the short way returns an error / PARENTHESES
It is true that the polygon needs to be regular, which really leaves a lot to be desired... you can't rotate non-regular vector art, and you can't rotate groups of art regular or not. so the things you're rotating are pretty limited. and my results from rotating things I created with the weird paint tool experience shall not even be discussed. btw I don't know that we call these delimiters anything in English.

Tom,
According to Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket_(punctuation), the () [], {} and
are all considered to be brackets, but the common names are:
() Parentheses
[] Square Brackets
{} Braces
Angle Brackets
with alternate names as follows:
() Round Brackets, Curved Brackets, Parens, Fingernails
[] Crochets (in Great Britain, apparently)
{} Curly Brackets
Just FYI...

Tom,
According to Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket_(punctuation), the () [], {} and
are all considered to be brackets, but the common names are:
() Parentheses
[] Square Brackets
{} Braces
Angle Brackets
with alternate names as follows:
() Round Brackets, Curved Brackets, Parens, Fingernails
[] Crochets (in Great Britain, apparently)
{} Curly Brackets
Just FYI...

But what then are the left and right angle brackets called besides left and right brackets or less than/greater than??? any ideas??? The nearest to a formal name for left and right angle brackets is guillemet. Normally, these appear as and are used in European languages but the single form, a single guillement, is also used in typography. However, the guillemet is actually quite a bit smaller than the angle bracket used in most computer character sets while typographers also use a taller, less-angled version called well actually I don't know what that one is called (Tall Guillemet?
