The thing that strikes me looking at Unity is how similar it is to Windowmaker! Back to the future with those big icons down the side of the desktop. Well, the one person I put in Windowmaker for is fine with it. So maybe they have a point? Dunno. -- View this message in context:

Hi Roger: What you're seeing is the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the player being swapped for some reason (seems like a bug in 4.6.4). If you set the width/height of the player to its formatted dimensions, you should be OK. set the width of player 1 to the formattedWidth of player 1

SqLite to MySQL and back or ?

Hi All! I have a little project that is using SQLite to save user data. Essentially, each user has their own table created in the database and it saves records consisting of text content in mutiple fields in each record. The idea was in a school situation, where multiple students using the

Typically what most do is issue a dump of the sql database. If it is not too large then this is workable. It produces a text file that can then be imported into other databases. But why not have your app access the mySQL database online to begin with? You would need to modify the table

It's my belief that SqLite databases tend to be small enough that you can just copy the entire file back to a main server and not bother doing a sync of the data it contains. Probably be heck-a faster than a whole bunch of selects and updates and inserts from sqLite on a desktop to MySQL on a

Sounds like what you want to is sync the databases accounting for any inserts, deletes, updates on either database. That gets pretty complicated! I think I'd probably take the route of accessing the remote mySQL db all the time if it's at all feasible and i not, then using ftp to upload/download
