I am having trouble using an alias in the plugins folder. I've tried both OS X native aliases and unix-style symlinks. Symlinks used to work in MC (though I could never get them to work in Rev) but now they don't work in MC either. Anyone else?
This has not changed from b5, which has been out for nearly 6 months. The routine needed for checking the initialization properties must open the stack file to get at those properties, and I believe that while "open stack" honors aliases "get the <whateverProperty> of stack" does not.
There may be a way to use aliasReference for that. Care to add support for that?
This has been quite a while but I am pretty sure I tested at least Finder aliases and they worked. May be you are using a newer engine and there was some change there.
I wonder why they also break in Rev?: <http://www.runrev.com/revolution/developers/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=484>
Also, in the "programming plugins" text file, there is a reference to a Revolution property:
"In Revolution, the opening mode is defined for each plugin through "Plugin Settings". To make MetaCard's plugins compatible with Revolution, you need to set the custom property:"
And no property is named. Don't keep us guessing. ;)
Robert, got time to finish that?
Here is the complete text:
In Revolution, the opening mode (open-as mode) is defined for each plugin through "Plugin Settings". To make MetaCard's plugins compatible with Revolution, you need to set the custom property:
set the cRevLoadInfo["mode"] to empty -- palette set the cRevLoadInfo["mode"] to "modeless" -- modeless set the cRevLoadInfo["mode"] to "modal" -- modal set the cRevLoadInfo["mode"] to "invisible" -- invisible
In cases where desired functionality is also available in Rev I would indeed honor the Rev method.
But in this case the desired functionality is already in the engine, in the built-in style property of stack.
Given that, instead I would recommend that Rev follow the engine method, which is what the MC IDE relies on. This recommendation has been submitted:
