Thanks - trying out your fab external now...

So you mean use your qtSave function after editing? Also need to look into being able to author subtitle support for MPEG4 and Teletext for cable broadcast... any links appreciated. ___ 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

When Revolution makes it possible to save a movie in place then qtSave will do that. I haven't done anything with subtitles and MPEG4 so I can't help you there. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Multimedia [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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

Sometimes I would really like the text to be indexed but I realize this places an extra burden on the system, so I would like the text search OFF by default and restricted to unlocked fields. I agree Sarah - especially in database-style stacks (usually HyperCard ports) that have tons of text... it would be better to default it to OFF so that there is one less thing for people to have to remember. Perhaps it shouldn't be a stack-wide property, but a specific field property? I was thinking of something like dontSearch (which we currently have)... how about dontIndex which is a field property that defaults to true. If you want certain content fields indexed, you just turn it on... As regards the password-protected scripts, have you tried this? I just tested it and Spotlight does not index password-protected stacks. I think regardless of whether this is true or not (and I believe you Sarah!) I think that you may not want to have the scripts of certain stacks indexed for other reasons, so having the flag there (defaulted to TRUE) is a good thing anyway, IMHO.

Re: Spotlight indexing: feature request proposal
I am looking for ways to add metadata to external files using Spotlight - video files in particular from within Revolution. I think it would be very useful if the stack indexing suggestions was extended to standard Apple file formats or to any file format with an existing system level spotlight metadata plugin (you'd need to know or parse the plist structure). In the meantime I'm looking to use AppleScript or the command line tools - but not got anything working yet - any ideas? ___ 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

Spotlight already indexes QuickTime video annotations plus the new stuff that QT7 added. You can use applescript to set annotations. There are some scripts here: http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/ You can also use the EnhancedQT external to set and get movie annotations (qtSetMovieAnnotation and qtGetMovieAnnotation) but you have to do a save as to save the movie after wards since Rev doesn't allow you to open a QuickTime movie and then save it.

If you use Get Info, on a file, you will see a section at the top called Spotlight comments. Anything typed into this box gets added to the Spotlight index. You can edit this text using AppleScript, here's an example. tell application Finder set tFile to choose file set the comment of file tFile to Index me! end tell HTH, Sarah ___ 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
Spotlight indexing: feature request proposal
As far as I understand the indexing of stacks by Spotlight (MacOSX), scripts only are used as the text to index. Of course this is of very high value for developers and I am willing this feature. But on the other side it could impair security if the password of the stack has not been set (what I never do, at least during development cycle). Also indexing the content of fields would be also very usefull (even more than scripts for content management stacks). Do you agree? I am considering to fill a request feature in bz and would like to get user's feedback first. So please tell me more what you think about this idea: I propose the addition of two new stack properties for telling Spotlight how to index stacks: - the spotlightScript of this stack: if true the scripts of the stack is indexed by Spotlight. If false, no script indexing is done for the stack. - the spotlightText of this stack: if true the content of fields and titles of objects are indexed by Spotlight. If false, objects content indexing is not done for the stack. By default both properties are true (i.e. when the stack is created). When creating a substack, its spotlight properties are default to the value of its mainstack but they can be changed independantly from the mainstack. Nice to read your coming comments. jg ___ 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
