Re: Where is applications folder on OSX

Thanks, Sarah. However, I don't believe one can "put" a filename into a player object and still have it be a player, rather than a videoclip object. I've resolved the issue for now by combining "line 1 of the volumes" with specialfolderpath("apps") under OSX. Hopefully, this produces a relia

Hi, There are some other compromising approaches to consider as well. Don't have the record open long at all in your processing. If it is a form, don't use the database field for your entry, use a variable for the entry, so the record isn't actually open. Once the user actually submits the infor

Stack conversion

Is there any way to convert a Tool-Book stack, app, executable, I'm not sure what the correct description is, into a Rev stack? I know it can not be done directly like a MC, HC or SC stack but, is there some sort of hack which would at least make the conversion a little more computer friendly

Re: Stack conversion

Rev does things quite a bit differently and more efficiently than most other systems. There might be some similar functions in Toolbook, but most of us eschew the 'automatic' conversion anyway, even though there's an importing feature, and start again from scratch - it turns out to be easier to ret

Hi Rick, I have never heard about such a converter, though it would be interesting for me. The paradigm is almost the same, though the naming is different (stack = book, card = page) but that would be easy to convert.

16 hours of video is a PIA to edit render, duplicate and ship, if you've never done that before. It's a lot of work. Last year the DVDs were delayed for a long time, many times I assume due to presenters re-doing their live presentations for whatever reasons. Those re-recreations were pretty bad;

This is the fun part: to get the 'stuff' out it's probably best to write the export code using the source platform. Depressing, because one wants to move forward not backward, but recovering the data is one of the most important parts of your conversion. I had a project once to convert a hypercar
