Re: Image conversion still broken
Dear Kevin, Thank you and the RunRev team for all your hard work in keeping up-to-date with all the emails, and in maintaining a good rhythm in clearing the bug reports off the database!

Being one who has actually filed bogus and duplicate reports myself, let me make a suggestion that will make the RunRev team's life TREMENDOUSLY easier in the future. In my own experience, the reason why I filed every report that ended up being a duplicate was not for lack of doing a search in the database beforehand. The problem is that, BY DEFAULT, the query pages only returns results that include new, assigned and reopened results. It purposely excludes resolved, closed, verified and unconfirmed reports. Most users, like me, find the entire Bugzilla interface a bit daunting. If all I want to do is find out whether someone has reported the 'clear all breakpoints' bug for the debugger, I don't want to have to click on a dozen different choices (hey, half of them don't even make any sense to me). All I (used to) do was simply type in the words in the 'summary' field, and hit 'search'. Bingo. It looked like no one had reported it before. So, being the kind soul that I am, I would report it (again...). What you guys need to do is to change the DEFAULT to INCLUDE RESOLVED, VERIFIED, CLOSED and UNCONFIRMED reports, as well! Believe me: as bug reporters, we want to be taken seriously. No one wants to be seen as a 'dummy' or a whiner who is reporting the same bug for the 3rd or 4th time!... Second suggestion: I'm not a member of the Revolution development team. I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what the terms under the 'Resolution' and 'Severity' category mean. I've been caught already a couple of times, reporting a bug that I thought was critical (because it meant that the particular feature of the program was made unusable), simply to be told that I had categorised it wrongly. We want to help, and we CAN do that by categorising the bugs properly for you, when we report it. However, unless you let us know what these categories mean, we'll just have to keep on guessing, giving it our best shot, and then keep on being told off!!! ;-P the links on the query page that supposedly take us to a page where explanation is given on each categories, does not clarify anything, as the explanations of the terms given there do not have the same meaning as the ones adopted by the Rev team. I once reported a bug as a 'blocker', because it blocked development and testing, but was told that 'blockers' are supposed to be bugs that crash Revolution. So, my suggestion is: PUT A GUIDELINE at the top of the search page (and the new bug report page) indicating what the categories mean. We all love Revolution, and we want to help you. Show us how to do it properly, how to do it in a way that is helpful to your team. We want to do it right, too!

RE: Image conversion still broken
Did this occur after an import snapshot command? I also have problem with export image and this occured after an import snapshot command. I suspect that there is a synchronisation problem and have been able to find some workaround (send export image ... in 2 secs). Hello all, Rev 2.0.1 still refuses to convert a PICT to a PNG on Import. Tuviah said it works, but I'm saying it's broken on my end. It will not work, period. I have no reason to lie about it, and have not found a cure. Any help appreciated.

If you take a screen shot, it autofiles itself as a PICT file on the HD. That's where I imported it from.

If you can't see it, it may have large white areas that got imported, so that's all you can see. You can try setting its topleft to 0,0, and maybe you can see it then. The one I imported in my test was centered on the card, but if your image is very large and the center is white, you may not be seeing the visible part of the image. You may have to play around a little bit to find it.

What I don't understand Ken, is why you are talking about needing to convert the PICT ? When I use the import paint command in a script to import a pict, it just appears on the card.
