Hello!

Re. closing the console window in the plugin. This does currently cause
REBOL to die. We know about this bug and are looking into it.

As far as Active Desktop goes, we haven't looked into this yet. We're
currently only supporting IE as a browser.

Thanks!

Subject: [REBOL] rebol/viewDLL problems

One thing I noticed yesterday when playing 
around, if I started a html file that 
referred to a .r file that had an error via 
the plugin a shell with the name 
Rebol/ViewDll came up - sure others have 
seen this already by now - I closed the 
shell, from then on in until I had closed 
every instance of my browser the plugin did 
not work. I checked my processes to see if 
this shell was running somewhere in the 
background but I couldn't see any reference 
to it. As soon as I fixed the problem, 
closed all my browsers (suppose this doesn't 
matter if one is running a Windows Shell 
where each instance of IE is running on its 
own thread, but most people ain't) and 
restarted the html file, the plugin worked 
on all example pages I had of it. 

okay that was interesting, hope that gets 
fixed. 

So then one of the things I thought this 
might be interesting for is to have Rebol 
integrated pages as ActiveDesktop items. I 
created a quick activeDesktop html page, I 
went ahead and put in my object tag and set 
the LaunchURL param to refer to a file via 
an absolute path (windows path) this didn't 
work, neither did referring to it via a 
file:// url, or a rebol path. Has anyone got 
this to work with a file path?
This by the way seems to confirm that a 
failed plugin page won't cause other proper 
plugin pages to stop working if run on a 
different thread, as checking various web 
browser plugins worked fine. I did get the 
activeDesktop plugin working fine, but only 
by moving the referenced .r file to the same 
folder as my activeDesktop item. 

I suppose the best thing to actually have 
running as an activeDesktop would be a 
modified view Desktop.
