Hi, I have a cross-platform app I wrote in RunRev. I just know very little about PC programming. I'd like to store a user preference file on their hard drive. On the Mac, I'll put it in their prefs folder. On the PC though, where does that go?
Also, is there a way to obtain the MAC address for their network card, or a machine ID of some sort? I'm looking for a cross-platform solution, ideally. I need to tie something somewhat permanent to their serial number. I know the shortcomings of this approach, I'm just looking for a simple solution I can implement quickly. MAC address would be fine. My app will be used in schools, and probably in situations where they'd be tempted to stick a copy on more than one machine and not pay for additional licenses, unless I can at least make it somewhat tricky for them to do so. I already have a working serial number system in place, I just need some key for the hardware it's initially installed on. Lastly, I noticed recently that when I go to build the standalone version (a demo) of my app, I get some kind of weird errors in a giant box when I build. It only happened recently, but I get it consistently, every time I try to build that app. It looks like there's a problem with revCopyExternals. I don't get that problem in other demos I'm working on that are very similar (only text is different, but there's a lot of text), so I think it's a corrupted file. Is there a way to 'pull' the project data out of one .rev file and move it to a new file?
