LibURL and Snow Leopard
I am getting my first exposure to a computer running Snow Leopard and just discovered two things that don't seem to work SMTP FTP uploading Rev 3.5 installed, running in the IDE, no luck. Compiled app, no luck Is there something I should read before digging into details about firewalls, etc.?

Re: raising the font size in dialog boxes, howto?
Björnke Yes, many thanks, it does work perfectly. But the tedium of it! I guess one just uses cut and paste a lot. Really, you would think this should be a standard feature. But you do notice that Rev seems peculiarly insensitive to less than 20/20 vision. With a new wide screen I find myself peering at what looks like 6 point font on the dictionary and also in the little drop down menus in the IDE. Yes, I know one can get your version of the dictionary, and I will probably end up doing this to avoid going even more blind than I am now.

trunc(?)
This came up in the forum. Someone was getting hung up with an object reference. Paraphrasing: set numberformat to #.00 put 1 into y add 0 to y put foo into field (myField y) Rev thought it was field myField1.00, not field myfield1. I advised him to extract the integer portion only by using the offset function. Works fine. But I cavalierly thought that trunc would work too. It does not. Even though the docs say that trunc returns an integer, it does not when the numberFormat is in play: on mouseUp set numberformat to #.00 put 1 into y add 0 to y answer trunc(y) -- yields 1.00 end mouseUp Neither does the round function. Same in HC, by the way. Bug? Glitch? Newman not getting it again?

Want your script editor to do what YOU'D like it to do? You can. Just write a tRev plugin. tRev now has a plugins manager that lets you create new plugins in a blink or transform an existing stack you have into a plugin for tRev. Watch me add a couple plugins: http://reveditor.com/write-your-own-plugins-for-trev In the days to come, I'll be creating some simple, useful plugins (free) for you, and posting them in our plugins store. I'll also be putting out a simple API document so you can expand your reach into compiling, code formatting, colorizing, archiving to the web...all kind of things that you never thought you could do.

Vista/Win7 priveleges
I use Install Creator to make Windows installers. There is this warning in the docs: Note about Vista: on Vista you shouldn't run your program from the installer, as it will be executed with administrator privileges. For example any file created with your program in administrator mode won't be overridable the next time your application will be executed, unless it is run as administrator. How limiting is this to the average user? I know Vista/Win7 enforce a sort of super-admin mode and I think this is what installers use. Does this mean that any documents created after an auto-launch will not be accessible at all when the program next runs as a standard user? Even if they are logged in as admin? Or if not, what limitations would be enforced? I'm not clear on what overridable means here. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.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

File name extensions
I'm working on an application (Mac only at the moment) and was wondering about file name extensions. I poked around and found web sites that list file name extensions, but is there someplace official to register or search? Or am I free to use whatever I want? I registered a creator code with Apple, but don't know what to do from there.

Or if not, what limitations would be enforced? I'm not clear on what overridable means here. I suspect this to be a typo for over-writable? ;-) Quite honestly, I've never heard of such a thing. First, it is true that in Vista/7 programs inherit permissions. So, if your installer is running at highest permissions (which it has to) then, if it launches another program, that launched program automatically inherits the permissions of the installer (for that launch only). That said, I always have a checkbox that is, by default, checked for running a program after the installer quits. I have never had a problem with permissions on ensuing launches of the program with files created by that initial launch of the program. And, for example, the initial launch will do things like create SQLite DB files, which must be accessed and modified by the program on ensuing launches, create new registry entries that get updated later, and other things. So, I think you can safely ignore this warning unless on initial launch your program writes something to, for example, the System32 directory and then wants to totally overwrite that file later. Your bigger issue with Vista/7 is that on first launch, Vista is going to put up a dialog asking permission from the user to allow the new EXE to run and will block actual execution of the program until the user clicks Allow. You need to account for this delay, especially if there are any time-sensitive actions your program is going to take on first launch, like accessing the Internet.

Re: File name extensions
Hi Marty, There are no official lists of file extensions. You are free to use whatever you want. The creator type registration at Apple is a relic from the past and you're free to ignore it, but I still think it is a good thing to register your new creator types there and to adhere to it. I often use 4-character file extensions to reduce the probability that the file extension is widely used by a different application already. Whatever 3-char combination you choose, someone has probably already used it. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer TwistAWord supports Haiti.

Thanks very much, Jim. Just what I needed to know. My app doesn't have any time-critical operations or write any files at launch, it just sits there and waits for the user to do something, so it sounds like we're okay.

Jacque wrote: My client wants that auto-run checkbox because his customer base is largely computer illiterate. Many don't know how to start an app without it. (Makes me wish you had to get some kind of license to run a computer.) Well, if they are that illiterate, you may want to consider starting your splash screen (if on Vista) with a message that says something to the effect of, *Please click Allow for any permissions your computer may request.* Because if they click Deny, your program will never run on that computer until it is removed from the blocked list. And, if they don't know how to run a program, they certainly won't know how to do this. When I say Vista blocks the program from running, it actually lets the program load. But, before the program can do anything like access the local hard drives, the dialog is presented. Also, let's say your program does attempt to access the Internet or ports at some point, there could be a second dialog presented. So, for example, in one app I have, I do exactly this. When the program first launches, I throw up a splash message telling them to click Allow to any requests and then write a little text file and then make an unnecessary and arbitrary request to the Internet. These two actions are just to force any possible dialogs from Vista. When I get past the Internet request, I take down the message. ;-) Aloha from Hawaii, Jim Bufalini ___ 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 seems that the numberFormat is taking precedence here. If you try this in the message box: put trunc(1.00) or put round(1.00) you will get 1 as expected, but in your sample, the y is being truncated, then the 2 decimal places are being re-applied for the answer. You can check that this is what is happening by setting y to something like 1.23, which makes your answer display 1.00 As a general rule, I much prefer using the format function to the numberFormat. I feel that I have more control that way, since it is only applied to numbers that I want to apply it to, instead of all numbers which is what causes problems like the one with the field reference.
