Re: copy large files in Rev on Mac
Hi Chipp, so, how exactly do you copy a folder full of files when some of them are folders? Let's say I want to copy only the files in folder temp, and NOT the other folders In windows I do: set the defaultfolder to temp get the files repeat for each line L in it put URL (binfile: L) into URL (binfile: myNewPath) end repeat How much more difficult is it on Mac?..assuming you also have to copy creator codes too. on the mac I use - shell(ditto...) to let the OS handle the files AND bundles including resources and all Mac specifi stuff. Right now this is extremely mentally challenging, see bug # 5549 :-) ... answer file yadda ## you can select a bundle file here! ## Obviously this dialog is provided by the Mac OS put there is a file it ## - FALSE! ## Big fun... AND bundle files do not appear when you get the files since they are in fact folders.

Re: OS X cgi error
I've tried all the suggestions so far, but no luck. Does the problem have to do with not having a license.rev stack in the cgi folder? None was provided with the Darwin download, so I assumed one wasn't needed. If one is needed, where do I get it? Thanks. Richard On Dec 6, 2007, at 2:27 AM, Jim Ault wrote: On 12/5/07 7:53 PM, J.

You need to check the owner/group (Get Info) to see if the 'user' is your login and the apache 'www' is only the group (or not even that, which means 'everyone') Step 1 is to see what group Step 2 is either change the group to 'www' and the permissions to 775 or permissions 777 or owner to 'www' or add the apache 'www' to the existing group... Bottom line is that apache as 'www' needs to have execute permission of '7' If you are using Path Finder (alternative Finder app) this is very easy without requiring Terminal or command line.

The old Darwin engine do not read the stacks saved in the latest format so, anytime you have to make a change on these stacks you have to use an old version of revolution. This is a mess.I hope we will find a brand new Darwin engine under the Christmas tree. I've tried every possible permission setting and it still does not work. As far as I know you just need to put the Darwin engine int the cgi-bin folder and set permission accordingly. Here it is some documentation about Revolution as CGI . I hope it helps. The last Darwin engine available is 2.1.2. This version still works fine. You can get it here: http://www.runrev.com/downloads/engines/2.1.2/cgi/osx.zip A great tutorial: http://www.hyperactivesw.com/cgitutorial/ ... and a message from Andre Garzia and references to his valuable RevHTTP : Hi Folks, I did this announcement on the use-rev mailing list but I guess some people just use the forum so I am posting it here too. I'll also expand my text a little since we have no 18k limit here and I feel like writting. It is with imense happyness that I make available what I came to call RevOnRockets package. This package is a bundle of a web server, libraries and demos, everyting in 100% transcript. The objective is to help the aspiring web developer (and the seasoned one) to create their web applications, the RevHTTP server runs inside the Revolution IDE and is able to run text file based cgis as well as serve files, this alone enables everyone to develop for the web from inside rev, using the debugger!!! Develop and Test your CGIs from inside revolution! This is of course freeware with source. All code is commented, specially the webserver code. I give this to this wonderful community as a token of gratitude for all the years that everyone and his dog helped me! What is included: * RevHTTP - 100% transcript web server with new features and cleaner code. * EasyCGI Core library - a simple library for building text file cgis. * EasySessions - a simple library for session management. * EasyDebug - a error report tool for CGIs. * libCGI compatibilty functions - RevHTTP has a compatible API that allows libCGI based apps to run inside it. * Demos for all libraries and even AJAX demos!!! More documentation is expected as time goes. The demos and the libraries will also have updates. Right now they are very bare but I do like them and use them everyday. Have I mentioned that I commented my code yet? ALL FREE license is: cannot-blame-the-brazilian-guy-if-it-explodes-public-license 1.0 Have fun! file is here http://andregarzia.com/RevHTTP.zip Launch http.rev and click start! This is the foundations of what I discussed on this post This post. From here now, I'll build plugins and higher level libraries. Anyone in the mood to discuss anything?

Hello Richard, I still get the same error when I try to access the cgi script through my browser: can't load stack or script license.rev premature end of script headers I have never seen this message before. Actually, I do not understand it. Are you using Darwin engine 2.1.2 ? As far as I know this is the last Darwin engine available. You can download it from: http://www.runrev.com/downloads/engines/2.1.2/cgi/osx.zip I guess there is a problem with you engine. Some months ago Mark wrote in this list: I mean can we use the engine of the standalone as CGI? The -ui option works on all platforms and prevents the engine from doing anything GUI related. Specifically this means that the engine will not attempt to connect to a window server and will not create windows for stacks. This makes it possible to use the standalone engine as a command-script processor from a terminal/shell-script. However, your mileage will vary when attempting to use standard standalone engines as CGIs depending on your system setup. In particular, the OS X engine requires a 'desktop context' to function - this is not generally available when it is run as a CGI engine from a web-server installed on OS X. The reason the Linux standalone engine (will) work as a perfectly good CGI engine in -ui mode is that it's only direct 'desktop' related dependency is the Xlib, which is usually installed regardless of whether a machine is a server or desktop box.

Sorry, Roger. You're going to be disappointed. The LIST command requires that a separate socket be opened for receiving the data. This is the nature of FTP. Commands and their responses are sent over a command socket while data resulting from commands (generally speaking) goes over a data transfer socket. The results from a LIST command are considered data. libUrlFtpCommand only deals with communication over the command socket. However, if you just want to issue the LIST command, using get url with a url that ends in a forward slash (i.e. pointing to a directory, not a file) will do it for you.

You won't find many people who know more about AppleScript that Sal and Bill. Check out the long-running site and very well categorized http://applescriptsourcebook.com/ There are strange concepts that you need to get your head around or fall into hours of aggravation, eg repeat looping, get info, dictionaries that vary between vendors. The best learning is to see well-designed finished scripts and deconstruct them... live in script editor. Another step, if you are serious about going down the path is to consider the free editor program called Smile. Far better than Script Editor.

Re: copy large files in Rev on Mac
Trevor, Windows has the following function in their api: CopyFile(FROM, TO, OVERWRITE) [CORE] The Win32::CopyFile() function copies an existing file to a new file. All file information like creation time and file attributes will be copied to the new file. This sort of function has been present in api's (including system 9 Macs) since I've been programming.

Re: copy large files in Rev on Mac
On the other hand, a package is really a folder, it's just treated by the finder as a single thing for the convenience of the user. Maybe not so convenient for the developer copying stuff around, but then it's no bad thing, IMO, that users' convenience takes priority over developers'. Perhaps it would be useful if Rev added a third category to files and folders - packages, though a function that filtered 'the folders' based on the presence of the file /Contents/info.plist might work well enough. function thePackages put the folders into foList repeat for each line L in foList if there is a file (L /Contents/info.plist) then put L cr after packageList end repeat return char 1 to -2 of packageList end thePackages Best, Mark On 6 Dec 2007, at 19:12, Chipp Walters wrote: Trevor, Windows has the following function in their api: CopyFile(FROM, TO, OVERWRITE) [CORE] The Win32::CopyFile() function copies an existing file to a new file.

Chipp, I think I may have missed something earlier in this thread. Why do you think that OS X doesn't have an API for copying bundles (really folders)? I just did a quick search in XCode and saw FSCopyObjectSync. It takes a pointer to the source object to copy. The object can be a file or a directory so it doesn't matter if you pass a file or a folder. In any case, Rev doesn't provide direct access to CopyFile on Windows or FSCopyObjectSync on OS X. They use Revolution code in the handlers revCopyFile and revCopyFolder which call command line tools. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems www.bluemangolearning.com-www.screensteps.com ___ 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

The copying problems are occurring because revcopyfile is blocking and people are trying to come up with non-blocking *workarounds* - because it's not always acceptable for the app to lock up for the length of a 1GB file copy operation.

Well this will be non-blocking, but I don't think there's a way to monitor progress since ditto only produces any info when the copy is done, even with the -v (verbose) option.

Couldn't agree more. NeoOffice (OpenOffice) and TextEdit RTF files are also packages containing Text and Image files. I like to think of them like webpages, if you know where things are and what their name is, then it's very easy to use Rev to manipulate an RTF, iMovie or any such document (package). Try using Rev to change the images in a .doc file.
