We've had some discussion here about
the Rev IDE breaking under Snow Leopard; specifically, in
v3.5 double-clicking a .rev file would launch Rev okay but
Rev wouldn't open the file.
IIRC at the heart of the problem was that the file paths
passed to the app in the odoc event were in a different
format than before, so any attempt to use those would result
in a can't find file error.
This is reportedly fixed in v4.0, but for one of my apps
I'd like to see if I can fix this with the v3.5 engine.
Unfortunately, Ken and I walked through a few different
scenarios this morning and can no longer replicate the
problem with v3.5.
It may be useful to note that the system we tested on is
running OS X 10.6.2, but nothing in Apple's release notes
suggest they've fixed the issue on their end.
So my questions for you folks are:
- Anyone here experience this in your own standalones?
- Do you have a recipe for reproducing it?
- Either way, which version of Snow Leopard are you
running?
TIA -

Hi Richard,
I blogged about this very problem a few weeks ago, including a workaround:
http://quartam.blogspot.com/2009/10/revolution-snow-leopard-and-appleevent.html
With Quartam Reports Layout Builder, I can reproduce this problem every time.
Maybe my standalone's .plist is different from yours, but it still happens with
the Rev 3.5 compiled standalone on MacOSX Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on my MacBook.
Double-clicking a .qrl file, dragging it onto the Dock icon of the standalone,
all fails with some strange URL-like path in the appleevent data, regardless of
the app being opened beforehand or not.
Example filepath (enclosing in to make sure it stays in one piece):
file://localhost/Quartam%20Reports%201.1.4/Sample%20layouts/sample1.qrl
