Peter,

tRev is not a plugin. It is a standalone app. Switching back and forth between tRev and Rev is tricky. We still have trouble with it in Vista (although it's easy to work around). I have never compiled a version for Linux so I don't know. I really don't have the time to know. Again, this is economics. This is a big part of how I earn a living. I can only indulge my curiosity so far. Economics, prosperty, food-- stuff like that.

There are a few code branches for the OS's, but they have mostly to do with the location of files in relation to the "home" stack in the app. It's different in Mac and Vista, of course.

It's good philosophy to have a tool that works on any platform, but at the moment it would be bad business. I might feel more free to branch out once we have our target of 1,000 users. We're just getting started, really.

Best,

Jerry Daniels

I fully understand and sympathize with that. I'm quite willing to not have any support. I'm not asking for anything except information. Will it run? Or rather, is there any reason why it should not run? Are there Windows or
Mac specific things in it?

What I think Rev should do is provide some alternative, like maybe plug ins
for Geany or Kate.  Another story.

Peter,

The Rev market is small. The market for building tools for Rev is VERY
small. tRev's slice of that small market is UNBELIEVABLY small. The
number of Linux desktop users who use Rev who want another editor?
MICRO SMALL. This is simple economics. Really.

Best,

Jerry Daniels

Jerry, is this confined to Mac and Vista because you don't feel able
to
support it also on Win7 or XP or Linux, or is it because it actually
will
not run on them?

Not surely an unreasonable question about something which is
promoted so
heavily on the general mailing list for what is supposed to be a
multi-platform product?
