Dave, Yeah, I'm with Stephen about your *attitude*. But, here's what I would suggest you trying: Insert a wait 1 second with messages into your loop. See if you're just not giving Rev enough time to garbage collect. If it stops leaking, then you can adjust the time to wait. Don't forget the "

Richard, I've used them from the beginning, and have yet to have one fail. I keep one or two in my pocket at all times. I suspect they're a bit like Plasma screens. A lot of talk about the shelf-life, but when you actually figure out how much you're using it, you see it will last for years and ye

Hi Martin, Yep, I'm using 2.6. pixMapID doesn't work in 2.7. I need to rewrite that part of my code. You might be able to try export image and see if it doesn't work with offscreen images in 2.7...I seem to think that might work. -Chipp ___ use-revolut

PNG format: 8-bit or 24?

2007-03-14 Thread Chipp Walters
I seem to remember going around this awhile back and thought someone might remember if there is a solution. If I create a grayscale (or any image) and it has fewer than 257 colors in it (by default grayscale images do), is there a way I can force the export image command to save it as 24-bit and

Dave, I agree with Richard, RENAME works fine for me, too. There are certainly bigger fish to fry and if you're convinced this is a big problem, then post it to the bug list. Anyone who's willing to spend time typing 22 messages for this thread, should have enough time to write a bug report. _

I use pretty much the same technique, except that I typically capture the report stack window full size off screen, resize it 50% and save it as an accurate preview image, which can then be displayed in my own Print Preview window. ___ use-revolution mai

Bob, There's no way Mac can be #1 unless they allow others to sell hardware. Too many companies can't rely on a single-source hardware solution. I spent a good bit of time messing around with Vista today on my Dad's computer. Setting up printers, network connections, firewalls, etc.. It appears

Another nugget from Ken Ray's war chest involves canceling a pending message. I find this helpful as a first statement after receiving and starting to executecthe message. IOW, make sure and kill all pending same messages so there's no 'backlog' which can create quite a confusion when debugging!

You know, you can create callbacks in libraries, too. Just make sure you know the control objID from which a library call was made, then send a message back to the object after a handler is completed. This is really handy for out of process stuff. Don't forget to have a callback handler in your li
