Eric i did get a Gethopper account. But lacking Flash their interface it does not show the widget for getting a URL for a pasted snippet.
It is possible through their Bookmarklet interface for iOS devices, and other non-Flash users, to get full use of the service. i think Bookmarklets are only in JS. Something for me to try. Or perhaps someone else has? greg ~krsnadas.org -- from: Eric Iverson eric.b.iver...@gmail.com to: Beta forum <beta@jsoftware.com> date: 20 June 2012 07:10 subject: Re: [Jbeta] transfer with hopper bookmark So hopper isn't that interesting for the iPAD (one way only). Good to know. I'm surprised as they certainly talk about iOS. Did you try www.gethopper.com in safari with a hopper account? Judging solely on my 1 message might not do it service. -- from: greg heil ghei...@gmail.com to: Beta forum <beta@jsoftware.com> date: 20 June 2012 06:58 subject: Re: [Jbeta] transfer with hopper bookmark Eric my complaint about Gethopper is that for Flash disabled devices (such as iOS ones) it is a WRITE ONLY service. One CANNOT even get the URL a PASTE is written to w/o the Flash interface. Going a datum one way (From a Flash device) to a non flash device is fine. The other way runs into the lack of interface difficulty. Eg knowing what the link is that is created on an iOS device is impossible w/o allowing Flash. So it cannot be read even on a Flash enabled desktop, because no URL can be created. Presumably the URL shown in your email was created on a non-iOS device. What i am hoping for is that URL may be reconstructable even w/o the Flash interface... greg ~krsnadas.org -- from: Eric Iverson eric.b.iver...@gmail.com to: Beta forum <beta@jsoftware.com> date: 20 June 2012 06:33 subject: Re: [Jbeta] transfer with hopper bookmark I am not following your comments. My use of hopper has been simple and it works for me. I'm not sure it is a useful thing at all and present it more as a curiousity. If you find it useful, great. If not, don't use it. In my example, hopper offers nothing over just including the file as an attachment in the email. I'm not sure if there are use cases where hopper provides interesting value. >From my iPad, reading that email, and clicking the link worked fine, and there was nothing about flash. -- from: greg heil ghei...@gmail.com to: Beta forum <beta@jsoftware.com> date: 19 June 2012 15:28 subject: Re: [Jbeta] transfer with hopper bookmark Eric my interaction with the site says it is a Flash one. For me, w/o Flash, it is write only. More famously Apple mobile eschews Flash. Has any one succeeded with an Apple mobile? i was able to reverse engineer a page but have not been able to do anything with the "PublicURL" ... Its hash is about 6 characters longer than the (successful) one you got. So my question is how can i get to a workable hash from the reverse engineered one? Or maybe their Flash software goes through a submital process with .tl? In which case i would be locked out until they did an SVG implementation. greg ~krsnadas.org -- from: Eric Iverson eric.b.iver...@gmail.com to: Beta forum <beta@jsoftware.com> date: 19 June 2012 14:37 subject: [Jbeta] transfer with hopper bookmark I took the following steps: used jt to package up ~addons/math misc folder dragged jattach.html and dropped it on my hopper web page got the hopper URL to the file in clipboard pasted the link here http://hop.tl/H70cbqe2g9nKV7_UQs In theory, you you can read this message on your iPad, tap the link, and continue the process to get ~addons/math misc folder installed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
