Re: Standalone Text Field problem for WindowsXP

As it turns out, much of the "missing" text is actually there. It just can't be seen. I thought it might be that the color for the text was being set to "white", but that isn't the problem. The Menu hot keys work, but the menus themselves are still invisible. Frankly, I'm stumped. Joe Wilk

Standalone Text Field problem for WindowsXP

Well, I'm back after a considerable hiatus, and have some new plans for Revolution articles on the Macinstruct.com website. First, however, I need to wrap up the application that was in the mill when I "dropped out" of the list. I finally got a Mac Pro with the 30" Apple Display that allows

TextMate for creating javascript files (TextMate is like BBEdit but cheaper) Firebug for debugging them. Panic Coda is a nice all-in-one solution, but I don't use it. It pays to learn emacs or vi, since you'll probably be using ssh to the server and thats is probably what you'll have in there. Go

But since any app can create it's own bundle documents, that list (and I haven't been able to find it) will probably never be exhaustive. Also, bundles of any sort are selectable in the answer file dialog, but not the answer folder dialog, however, 'the files' does not include them while 't

Observations about bundles: If one needs to obfuscate a file - a bundle is surely a way to do it. Files inside a bundle are not searched by Spotlight. Need to hide a password cheat sheet? Create a bundle that has the name of a popular app you don't use by creating a folder, then add an .a

Re: Packages (was: copy large files in Rev on Mac)

A problem I've now found with the whatIsThis()/isPackage() idea is that though all the .bundle and .app folders I've looked at have a / Contents/info.plist file, a .rtfd (rich text with additions) does not. In TextEdit, create a rich text document. Type in some text, then paste in an image.
