Grusse Klaus ;)) I didn't think I could answer this today or in 2 weeks time - I tried upgrading my PC's cpu from 1.8 to 3GHz and 99% compatible Mobo wouldn't compute or start!
PCs are horrible right? BIOS tests a gogo to make the 400/533MHZ FSB eat the 800MHz FSB of the new cpu + web searches = all OK but mobo says nono! So Bought a new modobordo (+ram (150$) but the power supply I had in my space PC case didn't have the 12V cable!!! ARGH! So I had to strip my main PC down!!! When my pc works, all the drives start acting up (the dual IDE master/slave/cable select juggling!!) Even my suspension on the Z3 wouldn't adjust today!!! My 21" screen went down (2nd in 3 months!), bought a new LCD to claim my desk space back but now it has problems displaying "black" only! What a day! Im staying away from RunRev ;) But after I got the drives (all 3 for a total of 450GBS!) in, the old OS booted and self updated (against my wishes ;)! Amazed, cause it's been such a bad luck day even with the Z3! So I can actually reply this mail today and im flabergasted by the OS in MS - for once!!! I thought only old MacOS CPUs could boot on any harddisk!!! If you didn't get your scsi ids or cables or termination wrong! ;) But back to the image problems... > Hi Chipp, > > > Xavier, > > > > I could be wrong, but I would think as soon as Rev > 'imports' an image, > > it is converted to it's own internal format. > > well, almost :-) Almost intuitive right ? ;) > This will happen only if you edit (or fake to do so like: > click with any paint tool and UNDO immediately) the imported image. > > HINT: This is especially useful when working with custom cursors!!! you mean you know how to make transparent 8 bit-color cursors?

Working with images is not innocent work! > > Innocent? > I know what that means but in this context...? It wasn't intuitive again! ;) lots of possible errors without any warning, result or error (im so surprised actually! No file and no error!). When I tried to script "save as it" (where it = the paintcompression) it wouldn't work! But the ugly dynamic script worked of course! > >> I would like to export an image. Simple... > > Sure, very simple, if you know how ;-) That's my point! it's not innocently easy while it could really be!!! save img x as thisfile shoult be enough of a default!!! IMOHO naturally... It's been improved since MC days but not a lot... Im going to send you a nice little stack for your review and you'll see what I mean!!! ! > >> But image names do not always have the .gif or .png or > .jpg in their > >> names. > > Your problem ;-) Actually, no. Everyone who doesn't know the handy paintcompression property which I didn't see in the doc or see also (upcoming web note ;) - imagecompression or imageformat would have been more, eh, intuitive maybe, no? I know how hard it gets to find names for functions after a few hundreds but that one baffles me - while we do paint in a painting, we are talking about an image control or object... so imagecompression would be cool as in "i'll try any word that sounds common sense in my script, and it works > But if you know the format you can simply: > ... > put img xyz into url("binfile:filename.jpg") ##or whatever... > ... The gif displayer from the dark side agrees with you ;) (cynical grin) > >> If you use the command line export img id x to file > thisfile you get nothing! That must have been a taoist script! Nothing in guise of something makes something of anything! It created this mail thread in the least ;) Xav _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
