Just uploaded a slightly updated version of the "Seamless Tiles
Generator 2" to
<http://www.sanke.org/Software/SeamlessTiles2.zip>
See the descriptions on page "Sample Stacks" on my website
<http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia>.
Among other things this stack features an improved resizable and
draggable selection graphic that lets you choose a segment of any size
from the imported source image to create a seamless tile.
The ink of the selection graphic needed to be adapted both to the
differences between Windows and MacOS and the stackfileversions 2.4 and 2.7.
With engine versions < 2.7 we need "admin" for MacOS and "srcAnd" for
Windows. For engine versions 2.7 and higher "srccopy" is necessary for
both platforms to show a transparent graphic.
Moreover, I have changed the stack extension from "*.mc" to "*.rev", to
enable users of Rev 3.0 to see and load the stack.
See the quote of my earlier post (to the Metacard- and Improve-lists)
concerning this special problem:
Strange change of file associations with Rev 3-gm-3 engine

Rev engine 3-gm-2 displays both *.rev and *.mc-files in the "open
stack" dialog as "Revolution stacks". Engine 3-gm-3 restricts the
displayed stacks to files with the "*.rev" extension; even when you
choose "All files" the display of mc-files is suppressed, but other
files like dlls and txt files are shown. It is even impossible to
enforce the display of mc-files by typing "*.mc" into the file name
box of the open stack dialog. Putting the Revolution.exe engine 3-gm-3
into the Metacard IDE shows the same restrictions: No mc-files are
displayed. However, when you rename "Revolution.exe" to "MC.exe", both
"Revolution stack"-files "rev" and "mc" are displayed in the "open
stack" dialog - like before in gm-2 with "Revolution.exe". This holds
for both IDEs, the Revolution and the Metacard IDE. The consequence
for users that primarily work with the Rev IDE - but wish to access
Metacard files once in a while - would be to rename their Rev engine
to "MC.exe". This works fine within the Rev IDE.

Wilhelm Sanke
