Re: Tools palette showing?

Opie here; hide and show do what I need; I just want to hide it. But how, other than asking here, was I to discover the name of that stack? I poked all over including message-box asking the name of stack n from 1 to 10, which turned up a bunch of stuff but not "revTools". It seems it has an ID

Tools palette showing?

2010-06-24 Thread Emmett Gray
Is there a way to discover if the Tools palette is visible (in RevMedia)? I have a preOpenStack line to type "t' with commandKey to hide it when a stack launches (and launches Rev). But then if I open another stack with the same openStack routine, it toggles it back on.

This works with SkypeOut also, to call a phone number. Just replace "SkypeName" with the number (include the country code). When I first started using Skype years ago this didn't exist (or I didn't know about it) so I did it with AppleScript and QuicKeys. Much simpler now. On Tue, 22 Jun 2010

In the HC version of a stack I've converted, I have a "notes" text field. The field has a vertical scroll bar, but not a horizontal one (and that's what I want). In HC, a long URL will wrap so you can see the whole thing on multiple lines. In Rev, it doesn't wrap so you can't see it all (althou
