Re: Mac Scrolling
Today a breakthrough! I had what I thought was a vanilla version of Snow Leopard on a second partition on my MBP. Installation stripped of all optionals (printers, fonts, etc.). A few Apple updates to 10.6.2, a couple of 3rd party apps, and standard changes to system prefs. When I loaded rev I had the same scrolling problems as before! Erased and loaded 10.6.0 from my MBP install disks, again stripping all optionals. Made no changes at all, and loaded rev. SINGLE CLICK IN CHANNEL WORKS! "Jump to here" still doesn't, but I think we are agreed that would need scripting. Hopefully I only have to explore the add-ons of the previous "vanilla" (if I can remember them all) to isolate the cause of the problem.___ 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
[ANN] MS Word Import Mac/Win: WordLib 1.3
Howdy Folks, I happy to announce WordLib 1.3, a comprehensive solution for MS Word and OpenOffice document import. With a single command you can import a document to a field. (And there are more options under the hood for advanced users.) You can also store documents inside stacks. This is the real thing--text borders, highlights, images, links, footnotes, tables--it's all there! (Even down to the Roman numerals for notes.) The high-quality file translation for modern document formats is written in pure native RunRev scripting code for maximum power and compatibility. File types include extensive support for .docx (Word 2007), .odt (OpenOffice), and .xml (Word 2003), along with basic support for .doc (legacy Word). This version adds Mac support, and Windows is also fully supported. (It hasn't been tested on Linux.) More nifty features and file formats are planned, of course, so I appreciate your support of the project, and the more registered users I have, the more I will be adding to the library. This is the import library. For those interested in Word and OpenOffice *export*, that's WordOut, which is in Beta and will be coming out soon! A download page link is below. Unzip the package and open the Try WordLib stack in Rev to get started. Enjoy! And feel free to contact me with any comments and suggestions.

Re: Datagrid sorting

It automates the process of clicking on two column headers. What I would like to accomplish is different. I would like to sort with more than one criteria my datagrid rows when I click the header of the column date. Here there is an example of the scenario I would like to accomplish (look at the first two rows in both examples: Number DateCustomer 1 01/01/2010 aa 2 01/01/2010 bb 3 01/01/2010 4 02/01/2010 aaa 5 02/01/2010 bbb I would like that when I sort by date, the data can also by sorted by (for example) customer (On the same date, the data must sorted alfabetically by Customer) With your code (or with the default sorting code of datagrid) the result is this: Number DateCustomer 2 01/01/2010 bb 1 01/01/2010 aaa 3 01/01/2010 4 02/01/2010 aaa 5 02/01/2010 bbb I can accomplish what I need querying the database with something like: select number, date, customer from invoices order by date asc, customer asc I think that, apart from the sql query, there are two chances: 1. The datagrid code can itself manage muti criteria sorting (maybe here Trevor can give us a hint) 2. We have to process the array of the datagrid, sorting with multicriteria and then populate again the datagrid with the new array. Any idea? Bonsoir Marcello, Sorry again, I have been rather "slow" to understand ;-)) I think that my first proposal was what you wanted except that I did it from a button (a mouseUp handler) while you wanted to it from a click on the header (which I proposed in my second solution, but then, I misunterpreted your sentence "I would like to sort the lines of the invoice datagrid first by invoice date and then by number" Actually, to do a multi-criteria sorting (here two criteria) one must sort firstly by the second criteria, then by the first one. So that one gets the names in alphabetical order inside each date. So a mixt of my two proposal seems to do the trick ( In fact it suffices to inverse the order of the two "dispatch" lines in the last script I send you (as they were in the first proposal); hence: --- local hcColumn,theColumn --- on mouseDown ## just to be sure the sort types are right set the dgColumnSortType["date"] of grp "datagrid 1" to "system dateTime" set the dgColumnSortType["name"] of grp "datagrid 1" to text ## to impose the sorting direction of "name" set the dgColumnSortDirection["name"] of grp "datagrid 1" to "ascending" ## sorting by 2 criteria:alphabetical order of customers inside each date put the dgHeaderControl of the mouseControl into hcColumn if hcColumn is not empty then put the dgColumn of the target into theColumn if theColumn is "date" then dispatch "sortByColumn" to the target with "name" ## second criterium --wait 1 sec dispatch "sortByColumn" to the target with "date" ## first criterium end if end if end mouseDown Is this working as you are expecting (seems OK here in my trials) (cross my fingers ;-o))) Best regards from Grenoble André ___ 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

RunRev and Linux Shell Scripting (...was Re: Record Audio in Rev on Linux OS?)
Thanks Peter!!! This was just the information I was looking for! John Patten Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 23:39:17 -0800 (PST) From: Peter Alcibiades Subject: Re: Record Audio in Rev on Linux OS? To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Message-ID: <1272008357927-2032844.p...@n4.nabble.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Invoking the shell command is the easy part. First, you open a terminal and verify that the command or script you want to use works properly from the terminal. For example, if you are going to use krecord you would open a terminal and do krec followed by whatever options you want. (this seems to be the command which opens the app now, seems to me it used to be krecord but still.) Now you know that it works as expected in the shell, you can invoke it from Rev: put shell("krec") -- this will just open the application. For instance, to execute the command you gave as a sample, from a button, you would just do: on mouseUp put shell("arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D copy foobar.wav") end mouseUp This would then record the file in the user's home directory as foobar.wav. You can execute any shell command like this. You can also pipe the output of one shell command to the input of another one, in a shell command, as in ls | gedit this will have the effect of first listing the current directory contents, then sending the result to gedit, in which the input will be opened. You could use this to send a file, once recorded, to a player. Or, if you have lame installed, you could use it to convert the file to mp3 with soundconverter. Finally, you might need to execute commands one after the other, which you can also do. To do this, you put your script into a file, for example, myscript.sh, have the first line be a so called 'shebang', make it executable, and put in your commands one after the other. Lets say you wanted the file in the above example to go to the desktop: #! /usr/bin/env bash cd Desktop arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D copy foobar.wav Now you would do, from your button, put shell (myscript.sh) -- the file would have to be made executable. The shell is a quite fully featured, if rather antique, programming language, with what you might regard as a huge collection of macros and utilities for all kinds of purposes. Most of the stuff you would expect, flow control, branching, error reporting etc. There are lots of guides to it on the net, but if you're in an academic environment the simplest might be to find someone in IT who has scripting experience and have them write it. If you want to learn it yourself, there is a nice book, full of worked examples, by Glen Smith: Introduction to Shell Scripting. Might be a bit basic for an experienced programmer. It is antique, but its ideal for this sort of thing, because of the ability to invoke stuff like krec. On Rev, because of the limitations of Rev on Linux at the moment, its a lifesaver.

- There have been no automatic updates of WindowsXP since I have deactivated the Internet Explorer, which could mean that IE plays a role in the update process. My limited experience with XP is that Internet Explorer is, somehow, part of the operating system and IS the vehicle for Windows updates. This is like using Konqueror on Debian Linux; as both a file browser and a web-browser - d**n dangerous as one can lose sight of what is on your computer and what is elsewhere. ___ 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

What DOES surprise me is that your antivirus (assuming it is up to date) did not catch it. Perhaps this happened before you installed the antivirus? The hsyfea.exe looks like a random file name, which was typical of a particularly nasty bit of malware I came across a while back called coolwebsearch. The installer installed several variants of itself using random file names, which required a program called HijackThis and a series of safe boots to remove the hijacker. Even then, with some flavors of the "adware" you never got all the pieces, and the recommendation at that point was a clean reinstall. The other one turned up some interesting google hits. I believe this to be a particularly nasty one, but if your Antivirus found it, then it should have prevented it, unless as I said, you got it before you installed Antivirus. If you got it first, then there is a possibility it installed a rootkit, in which case nothing but a wipe and reinstall to a new partition, and to be safe, a reset of the CMOS first, will guarantee it's removal. My condolences. Bob Hi Bob, Again, thanks for your feedback and your condolences! My Antivirus had been in place *before* my computer was infected. The software had been installed by an IT-competent colleague, but - as I understand now - set to a medium scan level to prevent too much delay on startup of the computer. I had changed the scan level to "high" after I had experienced the constantly appearing ads and subsequently found the two viruses. Two findings concerning the Internet Explorer on my WindowsXP machine, which cannot be removed, but apparently somehow deactivated by transferring a number of movable supporting files to another folder: - IE can no longer be started even if you click directly on the exe-file. - There have been no automatic updates of WindowsXP since I have deactivated the Internet Explorer, which could mean that IE plays a role in the update process.

Re: Mac Scrolling
Bill 1) & 2) I have to double-click in the channel (between thumb and end) to get the action which should be precipitated by one click. The ignoring of the first click is a proposition raised by Jacqueline. 3) I have "Jump to here" and "smooth scrolling" set, and it always jumps a set distance (about 1/8 as shown in the Properties Inspector). This action is certainly not subtle when there is a long list and it jumps a small way when I (double) click at the bottom. This happens in every rev application including the Application Browser and Script Editing. It happens in InfoWallet even though that brings its own rev machine.

Re: Mac Scrolling
Kay C Lan (Kay? Lan?) (I am not quoting at the moment because I was overwhelmed by all the messages from other threads.) The strange hot-key behaviour is system wide, from finder through any app with Services. As far as I can tell it is only those I have set up using Keyboard Shortcuts, or Keyboard Maestro (which all start with Ctl). I don't often use special hot-keys set by third party apps as there are many conflicts there. I turned off Enable Assistive Devices, which also has made no difference. Glad of that as I really want back the two I disabled (Keyboard Maestro, KeyCue), as well as all those that gave me plaintive messages when I rebooted. (I knew there were others, but was surprised by how many.) As you say, all of them were disabled in Safe Boot anyway. Regarding spouse, we both have our own computer, and she relies on me for all maintenance, etc. Her abilities lie in other directions.

Re: Mac Scrolling
I'm a little confused as to what the complaints are with scrolling. Are these the issues? 1. First click in the scroll bar between the thumb and end of the scroll bar is ignored. 2. Double click in the same area doesn't do something (I'm not clear what that is) 3. When System Prefs are set to "Jump to spot that's clicked" it doesn't do it. My results: 1. It always behaves correctly for me. I'm not losing any first clicks anywhere. 2. I don't see any special behavior with double clicking this are on any Mac app. 3. Confirmed in both InfoWallet and the Rev IDE. It looks like this preference is ignored in Rev. I never noticed this before and no one has ever reported it. I think the default setting on the Mac (and certainly my setting) is "Jump to the next page" which works as expected. Interestingly, looking closely at the "Smooth scrolling" option I don't see any difference in Rev apps but even in Apple's apps the difference is so subtle that it is almost unnoticeable. Casually looking at any app with this set I don't think many users would be able to tell any difference at all. As far as I know, except for item 3 above, InfoWallet scrolls correctly everywhere. Please let me know what behavior you are seeing that "didn't work".

Re: Record Audio in Rev on Linux OS?
Invoking the shell command is the easy part. First, you open a terminal and verify that the command or script you want to use works properly from the terminal. For example, if you are going to use krecord you would open a terminal and do krec followed by whatever options you want. (this seems to be the command which opens the app now, seems to me it used to be krecord but still.) Now you know that it works as expected in the shell, you can invoke it from Rev: put shell("krec") -- this will just open the application. For instance, to execute the command you gave as a sample, from a button, you would just do: on mouseUp put shell("arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D copy foobar.wav") end mouseUp This would then record the file in the user's home directory as foobar.wav. You can execute any shell command like this. You can also pipe the output of one shell command to the input of another one, in a shell command, as in ls | gedit this will have the effect of first listing the current directory contents, then sending the result to gedit, in which the input will be opened. You could use this to send a file, once recorded, to a player. Or, if you have lame installed, you could use it to convert the file to mp3 with soundconverter. Finally, you might need to execute commands one after the other, which you can also do. To do this, you put your script into a file, for example, myscript.sh, have the first line be a so called 'shebang', make it executable, and put in your commands one after the other. Lets say you wanted the file in the above example to go to the desktop: #! /usr/bin/env bash cd Desktop arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D copy foobar.wav Now you would do, from your button, put shell (myscript.sh) -- the file would have to be made executable. The shell is a quite fully featured, if rather antique, programming language, with what you might regard as a huge collection of macros and utilities for all kinds of purposes. Most of the stuff you would expect, flow control, branching, error reporting etc. There are lots of guides to it on the net, but if you're in an academic environment the simplest might be to find someone in IT who has scripting experience and have them write it. If you want to learn it yourself, there is a nice book, full of worked examples, by Glen Smith: Introduction to Shell Scripting. Might be a bit basic for an experienced programmer. It is antique, but its ideal for this sort of thing, because of the ability to invoke stuff like krec. On Rev, because of the limitations of Rev on Linux at the moment, its a lifesaver.

My first thought was the possibility of some 'other' App that monitors key strokes might be interfering, these usually involve the need to 'Enable access for assistive devices' in the Universal Access System Preference Pane. Apps that come to mind are: QuickKeys CopyPasteX Mac Keylogger the later recording every keystroke you ever make and stealthily taking screen shots. Just in case you haven't installed it, you might consider this from the developers website: *Monitor your spouse: *Have you suspected that your spouse is cheating on you? Why he/she cleans the tracks on the computer? Now with the *keylogger for Mac* he/she can’t hide anymore. You haven't been misbehaving have you ;-)) If you've 'Enable access for assistive devices', you could try turning it Off to see if it makes a difference, although I have my suspicions that doing a Safe Boot would do just that. The other thought was a hot key conflict, more than one app assigning the same keys, but again, these would only be valid outside their own app if 'Enable access for assistive devices' was used and should only explain why certain keys wont work, not why the scroll bar in a single App plays up. I'm sorry, not much help. ___ 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
