 Is this in Rev or in a variety of Apps?

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.

Re: Record Audio in Rev on Linux OS?

2010-04-23 Thread Peter Alcibiades

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.

Re: Mac Scrolling

2010-04-23 Thread Bill Vlahos
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.

(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.

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.

I tried that for a while but the smell of hot garlic just got too much . . .

Try pushing a cat into your DVD drive; my cat keeps trying to push 
herself into mine -

as a result I have no problems with Wicked Wenzles; only cat hair!

I have at last convinced her that the cat-loo is the place to poo, and 
not behind

the computers.

A few years ago, when I lived in the UAE, I came back from my summer
holiday and wondered why my beige G3 was smelling funny; on opening
it up I found it had a full-blown termite colony living inside it.
I chucked the whole thing (less the Hard drive which is now number 4 drive
in my G4 windtunnel) out next to a bush; and for all I know, the termites
are still there: good luck to them - it allowed me to convince my family 
that

I should buy a jazzier machine . . .  :)

I told a friend about this and he said that was, maybe, why his PC was
smelling; we opened it up and found that he had cockroaches (and so
did his computer).

Or, put it another way: Apple computers Stink Different!

Hi Wilhelm.

(snip). So it does not surprise me that your visiting a reputable site 
resulted in an infection. What DOES surprise me is that your antivirus

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.

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.


Best regards,

Wilhelm

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

Re: Datagrid sorting

2010-04-23 Thread Marcello Bertoli
Hi Andre,

thanks again for your kind interest in solving this tricky issue.

I tried your code but the result is the same. 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?

Best regards

but first redirect the ls output to a file, and then redirect this file to
gedit, as in

 ls  test.txt | gedit

The  is a way of sending the output of the command to the file instead of
to the terminal.  Then the | operator sends it to gedit, which opens with
it.

At least, I hope it does!  Quick, someone who knows about this stuff join

Re: Datagrid sorting

2010-04-23 Thread Andre.Bisseret


Le 23 avr. 10 à 13:25, Marcello Bertoli a écrit :


Hi Andre,

thanks again for your kind interest in solving this tricky issue.

I tried your code but the result is the same. 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

That version doesn't work quite as well as the way I heard it. In your version 
it sounds like Communism does not have any exploitation in it at all. The 
version I've heard works better as a play on words:

The difference between capitalism and communism is that in capitalism man 
exploits man and in communism it's the other way around.

[ANN] tRev: full disclosure, object resolution, context sensing!

2010-04-23 Thread Jerry Daniels

Take a look at your new Object Browser in action (video):

http://reveditor.com/full-disclosure-object-resolution-and-context

Smarter Object Browser:
- Full disclosure: click a stack and see its first card's controls and  
snap.

- Object resolution: click Browser tab and see last open tab's object.
- Context sensing: edit a Rev IDE object's code and start seeing Rev  
IDE stacks.


Enhanced Ask-a-Question dialog:
- Now emails directly using our On-Rev hosted CGI. No email client used.
- Need to include your email address, but tRev remembers it once  
entered.

- Can now associate a level of urgency with your question.
- Your platform, Rev version  preferences are automatically added to  
the email.


Bug fixes:
- Closing a stack with Magic Menus now works much more reliably.

Best,

You don't need to do anything special, just copy over all your files. If 
you use the Mac's automatic file-copier (forget what it's called, but it 
copies all your files from one Mac to another, and new Macs usually 
offer to do that for you) then you probably won't need to do anything 
else at all. If Rev asks for your key on launch, your current license 
key will work because your platform hasn't changed, it's still OS X.


If you are manually moving your files, there are Rev-related files in 
places other than the Applications folder, so it's probably easier to 
just download the current version from the web site and install from 
that. Your own stacks can be copied anywhere you want, of course.

[ANN] MS Word Import Mac/Win: WordLib 1.3

2010-04-23 Thread Curry Kenworthy

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.

(Current registered users *don't* need to register again for this update.)
