Reading my post I think I was not clear enough what I need. I want the white area you can see in the snapshot to be gray also. Any pointers highly appreciated. Malte ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists

Shy Images

I've got a problem with trying to drag an image from one group to another. The image seems to be behind every other object on the page. What I have is a 4 x 3 grid of groups. Each group has an image, a couple of text fields, and another small group of circles that look like a traffic light.

Re: unidecode broken on Intel Macs?

Hi Klaus, Unicode is not broken on Intel Macs (at least not more than usual). It just works the same way as on Intel PC's. Mind the endian. Best regards, Mark Schonewille -- Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http;//www.salery.com Quickly extract

unidecode broken on Intel Macs?

Hi friends, maybe I missed this, but looks like unidecode broken is on Intel Macs? OS X 10.4.10Rev 2.8.1 gm3 (or whatever was the last build) I developed a routine on an G5 to import VCF cards in 2.x AND 3.x format. Format 3.x comes (from addressbook) in uniencod-ed. Then I simply: put unide

Re: unidecode broken on Intel Macs?

Klaus, The bytes in a word in a Unicode document created on a big-endian processor, such as the Macintosh, are arranged in an order opposite to that of the bytes in a word in a document created on an Intel processor. This means that you may have to revert all bytes in your unicode stream.

A big-endian (motorola) unicode character will be in the form : msb lsb, so if the character falls within the ascii range, say "A", then it will be . If it's in little-endian (intel) format, the same char will be . Unidecode simply removes the most significant byte of each unicode char/

Re: unidecode broken on Intel Macs?

Part of the trouble is that Revs Unicode handling doesn't include any ability to use Byte-Order Marks (BOM). These are pairs of bytes at the start of a unicode string that expresses the byte order of the string that follows. Rev simply assumes that the byte-order is that of whatever process

I know stacks are a nice way to save a lot of data because it can be organized by custom property and custom property set. But what about a simple list of data consisting of name, URL, and a couple other fields, that needs to be downloaded from a server- would you save the data in: A. a s

Re: save data in custom properties in a stack- or a text file?

there are so many ways and so many different solutions... all good. No method is inherently 'easier'. You have to focus on what's best for your user. Will this be used by many or just one person? Does it need to travel with the app or does there need to be prefs for multiple users? Text File

Re: save data in custom properties in a stack- or a text file?

One other consideration is how the data is to be used. Even though the data maybe simple, if you were going to load it into an array in your app, then saving it as a customPopertySet in a stack file might be easier. from a text file to an array goes from put URL "file:someFile.txt" into tA
