Stackrunner
Just started using this and very happy but have come across a problem regarding button icons. I imported a set of icons into the image library in the IDE and refer to the icon numbers within the Image Library when specifying icons for buttons. All works fine in the IDE and standalone but in Stackrunner the icons are not displayed and the buttons are invisible. I can click on them OK (if I guess where they are!).

Pete, You could include the Image Library stack with your stack and start using it when it's opened by Stack Runner. Devin RR/LC is infinitely flexible, and Devin's suggestion should remind us all that RR/LC is itself implemented in RR/LC (even if, frankly, that is rather difficult to conceptualise), and as such, most componets of the IDE can be moved, as substacks, to one's own stacks, and then sent off with StackRunner, or the Metacard IDE (that does NOT contain lots of components that are present in the RR/LC setup), to do whatever one wants. In fact, one of the first things I did, in 2001 when I discovered RR, was start unpacking the thing as a way to understanding how it worked. If one is not entirely happy with the RR/LC GUI one can use components from it to build an individualised GUI, either on the RR/LC GUI, or by hacking the MC GUI. While this rarely results in anythibg particularly better, it does prove an instructive exercise rather in the same sort of way as one unpacks a series of nested Russian dolls. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

quicktime player in stackrunner and rev player with macbook air
Hi, I¹ve got a pretty complex stack that has always worked on both macs (ppc/intel) and windows computers, which utilizes a player to play mp3 snippets I distribute this to students via Stackrunner (or the Rev player application). With my new Macbook Air, however, I notice that the quicktime player doesn¹t seem to work, with either Stackrunner or the Rev Player, though the player _does_ work when I open the stack in Studio 2.9 on my MacBook Air. In Stackrunner (and the Player), there is no player visible and no audio. Is there anything I can do to make this work in Stackrunner (which I love)?

Hey all... Just wanted to let you know that a new release of StackRunner, version 1.8, has been uploaded to my site. This version has the 2.9.0 engine in it, includes full support for Linux, and has actually pre-bundled the database drivers in to make it easier to deploy. I also modified the web page a bit for clarity (this is in keeping with my talk at RevLive2008 :-). You can get it here: http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/downloads/StackRunner.htm Enjoy!

Hmm... well, I certainly *could* do it, but one of the things about StackRunner is that it is to be generic in nature; if I were to bundle in the database DLLs with it, it would include a bunch of stuff that others not using SR wouldn't need. However perhaps I should make two editions - a databse edition with the DLLs in it, and one without... I'd have to check with RunRev first though to see if that's OK... While I've got you, since you seem to know a lot about the internals of Rev, do you know if it's possible for an external to do drawing in the Rev window?

runrev player, stackrunner in windows xp home
Hi. Are there any documented limitations of the Revolution Player or StackRunner not running in certain versions of Windows? I have a student who is running Windows XP Home on a Sony Vaio, and who tells me he cannot run my stacks through either the player or stackrunner -- the problem involves playing audiofiles (mp3's) that are saved in a separate folder, and opening pdf's that are to be launched from within my stack. Should this work, or is it an os-level problem?

Protecting a StackRunner (or Player) stack
Hi, all. I've been making some really fun language learning/teaching materials using Rev Studio 2.7.2 on my Mac running OS 10.4.7. I greatly prefer to distribute my stuff (in other words, make it available to students) by just using StackRunner, rather than making standalones, which always seems to entail untold headaches. But since my stacks are preliminary, I want to write an expiration date into them, e.g., one obvious way to do this is check the date in a preopenstack handler, and if it's past a certain date, just cause the stack to quit. But is there any way to protect that preopenstack from prying eyes? Note that the students interact with the stacks _a lot_, so I need the stacks to be totally editable in the sense of being able to add data to text fields, click on buttons and change settings, etc. So is there any easy way to protect a script?

revolution player vs. stackrunner launching documents
Hi, dear Revolution cognoscenti, I need your help with some development I'm doing. I'm an instructor, and have been using Revolution Studio (2.7.2) on a Mac with the latest OS to develop some language learning materials that I will distribute to students. The students will be using both windows and macs. In the past, I've been very successful in using StackRunner to distribute things, and it's worked better than the Revolution Player in the past -- meaning that more people were able to run my stacks with StackRunner than the Rev Player, perhaps because SR is cleaner, as it says on the Sons of Thunder webpage. Some people seem to have _ancient_ Windows computers that choke on nearly everything. But now I've run into a small problem -- StackRunner doesn't seem to be able to implement the launch document command (I assume some library isn't available), and I want to use that to provide students with access to millions of pdfs. I notice that the Player _does_ allow use of launch document. So here's my question: 1. What's the status of the Rev Player -- is it robust, and is it likely the bulk of your typical student community of Windows users will be able to use it to play my stacks (the only real demand is that they use lots of sound, but I've no problem with sounds testing with StackRunner on Windows? 2. Is there some other way to launch documents that _is_ likely implemented in StackRunner? Thanks so much for any comments. rand valentine ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

You can download it here: http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/downloads/StackRunner.htm A final reminder: StackRunner is to be used with Revolution Studio or Enterprise in order to simplify deployment of stacks.

[ANN] StackRunner 1.0.3 available
Just a quick note to let you all know that version 1.0.3 of StackRunner has been uploaded; this version fixes a bug where the 'closeStack' message wasn't being sent to the last closing stack. If this is the first time you've heard of StackRunner, StackRunner is a simple player application that is similar to the DreamCard Player in that it will play your MetaCard or Revolution stacks, but it is much simpler and doesn't present any user-interface elements so it runs cleaner. It's free, so you can distribute it with any kind of stack. You can get more information and download it here: http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/downloads/StackRunner.htm Enjoy!

Re: [ANN] StackRunner 1.0.2
Hi Jim, I only triedthe stackrunner today. The stack runner is a great addition. Two things I spotted: (1) The downloads size are in reality 4.9 for the dreamcard player and 1.3 for the stackrunner. The dreamcard player application is accompanied by a components directory which is 5.7 MB big. (2) The stack runner will automatically start any application called main.rev in the same directory. This means that you can very easily distribute your stack to others, without having to explain anything. Just rename the stackrunner app to your program name. For instance, run_this.app. Then instruct any user to click twice on this file and the job is done. That's a lot lot easier to demo anything, distribute to students, or attract new users. Many thanks for this, Ken! A great addition for the education commmunity Marielle PS.

Here's my quick list of the differences: What DreamCard Player Has That StackRunner Doesn't Have: - - Provides a secure mode to run stacks (default) - Contains and opens RevOnline Viewer; provides access to RO channels - Automatically checks for updates - Shows splash screen on launch What SR has that DCP Doesn't Have: - - Doesn't present a user interface (other than a simple answer file dialog) - Allows you to run a stack automatically on launch - Gives you the ability to provide a custom answer file prompt if your stack can't be found - Can automatically quit (or re-ask for a new stack) when the last stack closes - The 'answer file' dialog is displayed as a dialog on OS X so that a title prompt can be displayed (DCP uses a sheet, so it may not be clear what it's asking you to open) - Provides the 'answer file' dialog automatically if it isn't set to run a stack automatically (in DCP you have to click on a small button with a folder on it that has no label or tooltip) In general I would use SR to distribute known stacks to a specific known group of people, like a class or a client; the intention of SR is to get close to the true application experience. I would use DCP when you are distributing stacks via RevOnline for others to use, or when you need to have secure mode. Thanks again for all you do for the Rev community. No problem!

Yes; in StackRunner, the supported common libraries, icons, cursors, etc. are all built into the standalone, and since it doesn't have support for RevOnline, etc., so it is smaller than DCP (3.6 MB for SR vs. 9.5 MB for DCP - both under OS X). (2) The stack runner will automatically start any application called main.rev in the same directory.

That's true! One thing to keep in mind, though, and that is on OS X if you rename the app, it doesn't rename that application menu title when the program launches, so if you called it Click Me.app, when they run it, the application menu will still read StackRunner (although a minor adjustment to the .plist file inside the bundle will fix this as well).

[ANN] StackRunner 1.0
Just a quick note to let you all know that I have uploaded a standalone application called StackRunner which is similar to the DreamCard Player in that it will play your MetaCard or Revolution stacks, but it is much simpler and doesn't present any user-interface elements so it runs cleaner. When it is launched, it will check to see if there is a stack called main.rev in the same directory; if there is, it will open it automatically. Otherwise it will check for a file called config.srn in the same directory as the standalone and check inside there for information on what stack to run. Finally, if neither of these can be found, a simple 'answer file' dialog box will be displayed with a generic prompt. StackRunner includes all Rev icons, cursors and libraries, so it should be able to run just about anything. OS 9, OS X and Windows versions are available. You can check it out (along with a full description) at: http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/downloads/StackRunner.htm Enjoy!

Very nice. One thing you might consider is if a user plays a stack fron the answer file dialog (i.e. not using main.rev or a config file), after the stack closes, put up the answer file dialog again, so the user can choose a different stack to run. Right now, if you open a stack this way and then close it, StackRunner stays open but you can't do anything in it. if you want to open another stack, you have to quit SR and then restart it.

Re: [ANN] StackRunner 1.0
Ken, I love this thing - especially in OSX, as one should be able to put the config file and the stack inside the MacOS folder in the package, where the executable for stackrunner and the included externals live. However, I can't seem to find the magic incantation to have Stackrunner locate a file inside the package.. I've used 'ask file' to get the path but it doesn't like it..I always get the answer dialog. what's missing, quotes? my stack is inside same folder (MacOS) where the Stackrunner executable lives. this doesn't work: open=CDRToLabel.rev dialogtext=Please locate 'CDRToLabel.rev': this doesn't work either: open=/Volumes/SQB_128-1/ STACKRUNNER/StackRunner.app/Contents/MacOS/CDRToLabel.rev dialogtext=Please locate 'CDRToLabel.rev': nor this: open=/STACKRUNNER/StackRunner.app/Contents/MacOS/CDRToLabel.rev dialogtext=Please locate 'CDRToLabel.rev': Just a quick note to let you all know that I have uploaded a standalone application called StackRunner which is similar to the DreamCard Player in that it will play your MetaCard or Revolution stacks, but it is much simpler and doesn't present any user-interface elements so it runs cleaner. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Stephen, you found a bug, which I just fixed and reposted (apps should now read 1.0.1 in the Get Info/Properties windows). BTW: I just do a check for verfication on the stack and then open it, so you can also use relative paths from the executable folder as well. So you can also say: open=StackRunner.app/Contents/MacOS/CDRToLabel.rev and it will work properly. Enjoy!

Re: [ANN] StackRunner 1.0
Hey Ken, great stuff. I use a similar 'launcer app' to debug. One thing I noticed with StackRunner is that it stays open in memory even though all the windows (stacks) are closed (XP). This is a potential problem, as it opens up successive instances of itself each time it's launched. Thus the user can 'think' they've quit the stack (and StackRunner), but it's still in memory. I'm not exactly sure how to fix this best. I suppose having a 'send message' to check the openStacks() every minute or so would do it. In my case, I keep the orig stack wd open (very small) and it kills the app when it's closed. I understand this isn't a good way for StackRunner to work, as you want to get completely out of the way. Anyway, just my 2 cents worth.

Hmmm. Maybe a better solution is to use a frontscript. Check for the closeStack message and count the number of openstacks. If it's only 1 then quit, else pass closeStack. -Chipp Chipp Walters wrote: I'm not exactly sure how to fix this best.
