Re: Oracle buyout of Sun and it's affects on mySQL
I have to agree with Ruslan on this (but perhaps from a different perspective). Monty's call to arms just seems bizarre and under-handed. MySQL was never really free (unlike Postgres or Firebird or Sqlite). He sold MySQL to Sun and became very rich. Now he wants to claim that Oracle is a threat to free software, when MySQL was the least free of the free databases. There are several equally good or better alternatives to MySQL. There are several equally good or better commercial alternatives to MySQL. Microsoft got away with it's 90+% dominance of desktop computers and office software for the best part of twenty years, and it wasn't the Competition Commission that reduced Microsoft's market share. But we have a hard time predicting t the future. Who knows what Oracle will do. That is one of the problems with having to pay run-time licenses. The developer is effectively a hostage to fortune. In some ways MySQL might be better off with Oracle. After all, they went to the trouble of buying the various storage engines for MySQL, something which MySQL AB never bothered to do. Paying MySQL customers might be much happier to have all that technology owned and secured by one company. I certainly wouldn't consider developing a project now that was dependent on future versions of MySQL being available with the current (pseudo-)free licensing. Even if you are happy distributing the current version of MySQL with your app (and on the server), and paying the licenses costs, there is no saying what those costs might be in the future. That is what was so underhand about the way in which MySQL was marketed as free-in-some-circumstances. I think on is better to consider Sqlite or Valentina client-side, and Postgresql server-side (I don't know enough about Valentina server to offer an opinion about the suitability of that option.) And if you want to have the 'same db' on both the client and the server then use a data-abstraction layer like SQL Yoga. I believe that Sean Shao is also working on some kind of abstraction layer. Then you can swap out one database for another, and (hopefully) the abstraction layer will take care of any differences. As a fan of Firebird, I was advocating years ago that RunRev produce drivers for that database. That way one could run that same completely free, fully-transactional, multi-version concurrency control, fully-acid compliant db technology as both an embedded database and a multi-user server database.

Re: shell
Hi Hershel, Sorry I didn't see your post until now (it went into my spam folder - thanks Google!) The way to work with remote shells is with rsh or ssh. I'm assuming that your client platform is os x or linux, and your server platform is linux. What is the problem with writing multiple arguments? Do you mean multiple successive shell commands, or multiple arguments to one program?

Re: Opening a doc in a cd or fld
The only way I can think this might be possible is with a revBrowser instance where IE or Safari has been configured to open the document inside the browser. On Linux I've seen Firefox open OOO docs inside the browser window; on Windows I've seen Acrobat do the same thing with PDFs opening in the browser window. I rarely use Windows or OS X these days, so I cannot say if Firefox works with OOO in a similar way on Windows. Of course, there is no revBrowser on Linux, so I can't test this., Bernard On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 5:28 PM, Hershel Fisch hersh...@syp2u4c.com wrote: Hi, is there a way to open a document,doc, pages, pdf, xls and so on in a stack, card or fld?

VideoGrabber on Windows
Hi friends, I am currently trying to make the videograbber work on Windows 7. I have a brandnew Cheapnis PC with Windows 7 Premium Home to test this. The only other newly installed software is Rev 4 and QuickTime 7x, latest version for Windows. What I found so far is extremely disappointing. All tests were made with the Video Capture.rev test stack from Rev. 1. QuickTime: When trying to: ... revInitializeVideoGrabber the short name of this stack, QT,the rect of img video of cd 1 answer the result ## = Cannot load video component ... I already bugzillaed this: http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=8465 2. Video for Windows: This works in general, but I found that one cannot save the current settings, which works fine on a Mac: ... local myVar revVideoGrabSettings myVar answer (myVar = empty) ## Gives me TRUE!!! ... So this way I cannot save/load settings :-/ Anyone working with the videograbber successfully on Windows 7? If yes, with QuickTime or VfW? Any opinions, hints or comfort? ;-) Believe it or not, its official: The videograbber is also supposed to work in Revlets Isn't this amazing?

Great new feature!
Hi Jerry. Fantastic new feature, these tags. I like to pseudo code what I am going to do first, and then refine the code later. It helps me map out complex procedures that, despite Rev's easily readable code, are still difficult to grasp once I put a lot of code down. The tags give me a quick glance at what I am trying to do and where I am at. Also, I put an asterisk (-- *test tag) before the sections that still need work, so I can tell at a glance what still needs to be done and go right to it!

Re: progress bar
Jacques, Revolution is single tread so you will not be able to move your progress bar while the resizing is working for an individual file, only in the little intervals between each file resize. One trick is setting the cursor to watch, this will spin an hourglass which I think will keep spining during the process, but to measure the resizing while it is happening, I don't think this is possible.

It's only one line of code: set the rect of image X to..., and I do not see where to check the actual progress. Thank you for every idea Jacques You can't have the engine call your progress stack, so all you can do is to put up a small dialog window with something like Rescaling..., call set the rect of image X to..., then close the dialog window. Set a cursor to watch as well.

65535 limit?
The Stack Inspector states that the default maximum width of a stack is 65535. However, on my Mac I can't set the width of a stack to greater than 32767 pixels (half of 65534.) Similarly, on page 49 of the User's guide, the Maximum size of an object is given as Unlimited. But I can't set the width of an object to greater than 32767. What is bizarre is that I can make a control 65534 pixels wide by making the rect of the control (for example) -32767, 10, 32767,100. However, if I try to make the rect of the stack -32767, 10, 32767,100 Revolution crashes or resizes to a seemingly random rect. Are these stated limits actually incorrect or am I misunderstanding something? Does it work correctly in Windows (maybe this is a Mac problem)? Does anyone know a workaround to that 32767 limit? And out of curiosity, what is the significance of that number? Will it soon/ ever change? I am designing a stack that consists of a single normal-sized card that contains a normal-sized group whose lockloc is set to true. The group contains many images placed side-by-side next to one another. One can scroll to any picture almost instantly by using the group's HScrollbar. This stack is great but sometimes there are so many images in the group that the formattedwidth of the group is greater than 32768 -- or would be, but I can't get to that point while setting up the stack. All kinds of strange things happen. Incidentally 65535 would be wide enough to accommodate my needs, so if Revolution simply worked as stated, it would be fine. Any ideas/ comments? Thanks.

Re: Great new feature!
Bob, That's an excellent application of the tRev handler tag feature! I'm learning from how you guys are using this. Very exciting!

Fantastic new feature, these tags. I like to pseudo code what I am going to do first, and then refine the code later. It helps me map out complex procedures that, despite Rev's easily readable code, are still difficult to grasp once I put a lot of code down. The tags give me a quick glance at what I am trying to do and where I am at. Also, I put an asterisk (-- *test tag) before the sections that still need work, so I can tell at a glance what still needs to be done and go right to it!

Re: progress bar
Thanks, Andre,Stephen and Robert for your answers. It is more or less what I guessed, but you never know. [ I'm not sure it's correct in english...

Re: Array name from a variable
Sorry I've not take care that you used parentheses in the name of your array. However check your manual page 151.I quoted it: The names of variables must consist of a single word and may contain any combination of letters, digits, and underscores (_). The first character must be either a letter or an underscore. You cannot use any Revolution RevTalk language word as a name of a variable. () are operator, so you can't used it in a name of a variable. To duplicate an array this is really trivial, put it into another variable like this: put First_data_container into myCopyOfFirst_data_container 2010/1/5 Alejandro Tejada capellan2...@gmail.com: Hi Zryip, Yes, you are correct. Using Do actually creates an array variable with the name requested. :-D But the example the i posted using parentheses fails: (First_data_container) this works fine: First_data_container Now, How could i make a copy of this new array? -- -Zryip TheSlug- wish you the best! 8) http://www.aslugontheroad.co.cc ___ 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

It turns out that Apple recommends using a pList over json or xml for transferring data via NSUrl. There would be a lot of things I could do if I knew how to create them. (on the desktop I can do them and upload manually but then I would still have to populate them online) Tom, I have a stack that I use for editing plist files: http://www.troz.net/rev/stacks/PlistEditor.rev Perhaps you could start with an existing plist and use the scripts in here to modify them. When you say revOnline, do you mean On-Rev? revOnline doesn't allow anything other than stack hosting does it? As regards On-Rev, the servers are Linux machines, so the plutil command will not be available, as it is OS X only.

Re: 65535 limit?
Rather than worry about maximums and future changes that could hamper performance, why not make several smaller groups that 'overlap' in a collage of sorts, then move all the groups as one? Maybe I am missing the point, so let me know. Jim Ault Las Vegas On Jan 5, 2010, at 11:22 AM, Fred Moyer wrote: The Stack Inspector states that the default maximum width of a stack is 65535.

Re: 65535 limit?
Hello Fred, I don't have a solution for you but I ran into something once that sounds similar... I dug around and found a comment in one of my scripts: The vScroll of groups is limited at the engine level to 32780 I'm not sure where I got this information or if it is still (or ever) valid.
