Re: RunRev and Linux
Richard keeps telling us that Linux now has low market share, as a reason or excuse for Rev to sell a Linux product that doesn't work. It is not. Market size and present product profitability is totally irrelevant to this issue. Market size and investment are relevant to whether to enter a market segment. Once you have made that decision, its real simple. Don't sell stuff that doesn't work! If it turns out not to work, and you cannot afford to fix it, you have to stop selling it. If I can do anything to help make it work, just ask me. I have limited abilities and energy now, but I will do what I can that Rev would find useful. The potential is great. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/RunRev-and-Linux-tp1835808p1836745.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.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
Re: RunRev and Linux, Peter Alcibiades palc
I shall wait for 4.5 and hope that these issues are fixed in it. Meanwhile, I'll learn either PyQT or RealBasic in parallel, because I have to have a Plan B. And either one is going to provide the intellectual exercise that was one motive for getting into Rev. I'll use Rev as little as possible meanwhile, with Geany as an external editor. I'll rewrite my reporting stuff in awk and pass it to a spreadsheet or word processor for printing. I've downloaded the dictionary in html, so at least it can be open in readable and somewhat searchable form on another desktop. And, as Richmond suggests, go for long walks in the hills. Where I live this translates to go for long rows on the lakes and rivers of this watery landscape, but whatever. Its an alternative method of keeping blood flowing in the brain, and a valuable antidote to intellectual frustration! Thanks to you all for listening, and thanks to you in particular, Richard, for your patient replies. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Re-RunRev-and-Linux-Peter-Alcibiades-palc-tp1836290p1836751.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.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

Redrawing datagrid from within
Ok, so I had a little handler that deletes all the data associated with any given lease. It works fine when it is in the mouseUp of a button. but, the boss would like the ability to double right click on the leaseName of the grid and delete the lease (and all information attatched to it). It works fine in deleting the data but my data grid breaks when I put this into a column behavior. After poking around, I found this: Don't call a handler that redraws the data grid from within a control in the data grid This will generate an error since you are deleting a control that is currently executing code. This is a no-no and the Revolution engine will complain and stop executing. You can avoid calling a handler that refreshes the data grid from within a control by a) using send in time or b) placing the code in the data grid script itself. So, if I the handler that the doubleclick calls can't refresh the grid, when and how can i? -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Redrawing-datagrid-from-within-tp1837640p1837640.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.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

And then there's the difference between the quarter- to half-inch diameter of the human fingertip vs. the single-pixel pointer and what that means for precision layout tasks like making web pages or laying out controls in Rev. And why not use a stylus? I'm actually not sure how accurate the screen of the iPad is for stylus type use - but if the first generation deveice is not - then expect this area to get better and better dramatically - this is not a limitation of the touch screen interface - just a simple one of resolution - no? But for media AUTHORING, we still have computers. Possibly - yes. But that does not answer the really important question - will 90% of machines we use to do every day computing tasks be what we now call computers - or will they be something much more like an iPad? And if say in 5 years time 7 out of 10 current PC users are using iPad type devices - and only say a handful of developers are still using what we now consider to be PC's - what does that mean for the industry we are in?

As you correctly point out Andre, there is no built-in way to set varying levels of transparency to different objects in a stack. You must create a custom window mask (bitmap) that defines which portions of the stack are more transparent than others. Instead of the above, the way to do this is to snapshot objects within the stack, not the desktop background, to create the bitmap mask. This way, the stack will blend with whatever is behind it, anywhere it is dragged. It works perfectly, but the method is not dynamic so may not be suitable unless you have a fairly static UI.

When you say your script works once and then fails, are you trying to save the same script each time? If not, maybe there is an error in the second script that is preventing compilation.

Yes, I'm aware that Android is a much stronger competitor to Apple than Microsoft is right now. But it's also true that Apple just released OS X 10.6.3 a few days ago, and is about to enhance the MacBook line. This is the first I've heard that Apple is killing OS X, so forgive me if I ask for sources on that. So far all indications I've seen are that Apple intends to continue making computers as they expand their range of other devices, for at least the next few years as I wrote earlier.

My guess is you feel that the laptop / desktop will be the most common and devices like the iPad will fill a niche? Or do you think that most computing devices will be like the iPad and PC's and laptops a niche - used say only be developers? I don't think it's an either or, and Apple isn't asking us to choose between them. Indeed, they currently require that you own a computer to make full use of the iPad (though I suspect that will change over time). Who knows what will come in the future? As I wrote in an earlier blog entry: For whatever reasons, technical or otherwise, the iPad we saw yesterday is a compromised prototype of the touchscreen UI for something yet to come, a mere stepping stone toward a product that'll look very different by the time it's fully realized. ... My hunch is the iPad as we know it today will live about 24 months while Apple prepares something truly amazing. This was good, but the reviews thus far have been mixed, noting its limitations relative to the mind-blowing Wow! Apple normally delivers. I believe that mind-blowing Wow! is on its way. http://revjournal.com/blog.irv?pid=1264792195.952185 Certainly the WIMP is long overdue to be eclipsed by a new paradigm. But what that will look like is hard to say because it isn't here yet. I believe the iPad hints at a step toward that future, but is not the end of that evolutionary path. Personally - I'd say writing was over-rated - and that we are all going to be quite surprised by how much we can do without it. Exhibit A: How are we communicating right now? Exhibit B: Why are we on this list? Exhibit C: How far would the sum of all human achievement have gotten without writing? If anything I'd say writing is under-rated. :) And why not use a stylus? Good question. I look forward to seeing a vendor answer that. Maybe Apple will be one of them.

The web was supposed to kill the desktop, as though no one noticed that it was taking place in an app that runs on the desktop. People seem anxious to jump on the Everything you know is wrong excitement, but I'm just old enough to take a more relaxed view of change. Yes, change is inevitable, even sweeping change, but humanity has a lot of inertia, in terms of markets, standards, and even the cognitive process itself. All of these things take time to adjust, and new paradigms take a while to sort themselves out into workable models that are cost-effective and task-effective enough to completely supplant what came before. Personally, the iPad seems much too large to be the long-term answer, and my guess is it's not where Apple's going in the long term.

nothing will ever replace my newton 2000... That thing could replace a computer! Sadly both my newton and my emate broke, soon, I will go shopping for another one. As a writing device, nothing beats the emate with newtonworks. thats me being nostalgic... Now, if the iPad was half a newton, we would not have those silly eula troubles. Still the iPhone OS is quite good, specially version 4 that doesn't run on my iPhone 3G...

Think faders for mixing audio or video, or trackball replacements for color correction and surround-sound mixing applications. How long before stereos and televisions get bluetooth so they can be controlled by the iPhone/iPad and its brethren?

It runs, it just doesn't multi-task with third-party apps. :-( Ian ___ 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] InfoWallet updated to 1.1.07
The big new feature is the Login Assistant now for Windows as well as Macintosh. I don't know how to implement it on Linux. I implemented the VBScript SendKeys method instead of the SendInput() method because I was unable to get the DLL to load under Vista or Windows 7 in a reasonable manner due to security restrictions. I've seen some inconsistency with it in some circumstances with a track pad on a laptop that has the tap = mouse click enabled. I would like any feedback on it. You can use the free demo version for testing.

Record Audio for only 10 seconds?
Hi All... I'm attempting to create a little stack that will allow the user to record audio, their voice, for a specific amount of time. I have the recording scripts down: put the long name of current stack into theTargetPath put the itemDel into tOrigItemDel set the itemDel to / delete last item of theTargetPath delete first item of theTargetPath put / theTargetPath /Recordings/ into theRecordingTarget --create a unique name for the audio file convert the date the long time to seconds put it into tFileName hide me show button Stop Recording record sound file theRecordingTargettFilename put theRecordingTargettFileName into cd fld recording name set the itemDel to tOrigItemDel However I'm not sure how to add the timer component. I'm thinking I will need to use a send statement, something like, send stop recording after 10 seconds to current stack??? Thank you!
