Conversion of large Hypercard Stack to Revolution

2010-08-15 Thread Richard Holton Pierce
I am not a professional programmer but had worked with Hypercard from its inception, and went over to Revolution as soon as I became aware of its existence. I have been able to convert most of my stacks flawlessly, with one exception. In the late 1990s I produced a stack for a research

I would recommend doing some sort of audit trail on the two versions, such as Version running in Hypercard: repeat with x = 1 to the number of cards go card x put the short id of this card ^ the name of this card cr after masterList end repeat put the number of lines in

Hi Richard, According to the documentation, the number of cards in a Revolution stack is only limited by the amount of available memory. I can imagine that a stack with 119000 cards becomes rather big once converted to Revolution. Perhaps it indeed doesn't fit in memory. It is also possible

I'd like to emulate the behavior of some software which allows you to draw rough shapes by hand and recognises whether you want to draw a circle, triangle, rectangle etc. The tools would allow you to use the freehand pen polygon tool to sketch and then replace the sketch with an appropriately

Richard, We've done a lot of large HC to Rev conversions and have run into the same problem. 1. Make sure the original HC stack has been compacted, several times 2. Strip all NULLs before import. These can get into the data if a user has pasted text into the HC fields from Word or some other

Of course, everything everyone is recommending is against a copy of the original stack. Make a copy, try something, like a compact, and then save that copy. Then use that copy and do a second compact, save that copy, etc. When doing this kind of recover I normally keep a log of the versions and

Hi, wait 0 secs really should be wait 0 secs with messages to have the effect you want. Stripping the NULLs is an interesting idea, but there is no way to do this inside of HC as far as I know and removing _ALL_ NULLs might break the stack. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk

Yes, Mark, wait 0 secs with messages is better. The NULL Hypothesis is a bit strange but we have encountered many problems (data disappearing, sorts not working right, filters filtering too much) all of which were fixed by striping NULLs from the data before performing the action. Now it is
