If so, what has been done about the problems with text display being inconsistent across platforms. Right now, I have two different set of stacks, which are identical except for font issues. One folder contains the stacks for the Mac (and a Mac standalone splash screen), the other contains stacks for Windows (and a Windows standalone splash screen). Will Player eliminate the need for these two separate folders???
Also, in the process of trying 2.5 out I had the following unusual (but reproducible) occurrence. Run 2.5b1 in Mac OS X 10.3.4. Create a new mainstack with one field and one button. Verify that the only stack present in Application Browser is the new stack (call it TestStack). Save Test Stack. Then save TestStack as standalone. Quit Rev.
Run standalone: works fine, one field one button AOK
Double-click on TestStack.Rev (non-standalone file). IDE opens with TestStack in foreground and an entirely different stack (the main stack for the project I just completed) behind it. What gives??? Why is this happening? A bug or something I missed doing when I created the new stack???
Also one piece of feedback on the new interface, I wish RunRev could go back to giving a different default name for each button, field, etc that is created, eg, field 1, field 2. That way there is never any possibility (if I am sloppy and forget to explicitly rename the button, field, etc) for confusion as to the target of a command. Just a thought.

2.) Rev-online. I think this could become a cool place if it gets used. What
I really would love to see is how big in KB/MB the stacks are (I just looked
at it, so maybe this is somewhere I havent found yet) I created an account a
few minutes ago. If you download the Stack from my users section mind it is
2.xx MB.
I can see the point of that. Rev Online will be used for serving videos to
people on broadband and stacks are likely to be smaller than that, but I'll
make a note. I don't know if it will be in this release or the next one.
3.) Dreamcard. Will this have the same IDE or will it look differently? I
donīt understand the term " smoothed off interface" Does this describe what
the Interface is going to look in *all* versions?
Essentially yes, though some options aren't available in Dreamcard, those
being noted in the FAQ.
I also would like to say that I am happy about the Player approach.
I havenīt looked at it too much by now, so maybe the following is redundant,
as it might be already implemented:
I think it could be useful if the player would allow Autoplay for CD Roms.
This could be implemented by looking for a simple text file e.g. toc.txt
with only one line of text holding the relative path to the stack that
should be played. This would be a big plus (if it isnīt already possible).
I think this should work with the current implementation, let us know if you
have any trouble getting it to.
Also I havenīt found a way to browse the local directory (but I just looked
at it for a few minutes). Also I would like to know which components is in
the player:
imagelibrary/externals/cursors/...?
We'll be shipping the Player as a separate download to test by itself shortly. When we do that you can check what is included.
The new toolbar: It looks more modern. I liked the old one better, but I
think I will get used to it.
Yeah, its always tricky when we make a change to the appearance of anything.
Ultimately though the old toolbar was really dated and we had to update it.
I don't think we're going to be able to get something that suits everyone,
stability was a higher priority than providing extra icon sets, and the new
one does looks clean, modern and functional.
Thanks for the feedback.
Kind regards,
Kevin
