AW: Problems building my standalone

2010-04-27 Thread Tiemo Hollmann TB
Thank you Jacqueline and Lynn for your advices,
I also have the feeling that the Valentina problem is a following error of
the other one. I have to dig deeper into that.
Thanks for making your thoughts
Tiemo

  I wanted to create a new version of my prog, with minor changes.
 Creating

 substack
  (after start using.). Because this substack is a third party password
  protected stack, I can't debug it.
 
 This can happen if there is an error in the library and so the script
 aborts. Have you contacted the third-party vendor? That is what I'd do
 next.
 
  Does the runrev licence expire in any kind?
 
 No. You can't use an expired license with a newer version of Rev, but
 your licensed version will run forever.
 
 
  Is the Valentina licence be valid only for a limited period? (I ask
 this in
  the valentina list.)
 
  Or could perhaps the latest Mac-Update interfere in any kind?
 
 I don't know about Valentina, but an OS update might interfere. It
 depends on what the third-party library is doing. If it is written in
 RevTalk only, then it is not likely to be a problem. If it is an
 external then it might have problems after an OS change.
 
 
  It feels like linking the externals and substacks doesn't work
 anymore
  correctly, but I don't know why and where to look for and how to
 analyse.
 
 You could add a logging handler to your standalone that writes the
 result of the commands that fail to a text file. That could give you
 some information.

Re: Richmond goes data-mining (a.k.a. shovelling through the sh..)

2010-04-27 Thread Peter Alcibiades

Its a real start.  It seems unlikely to have left out anything significant,
but it obviously has quite some false positives, but when the thing is
winnowed down to a couple of hundred, one can go through by hand and knock
off the ones that don't apply.

I wish I still had half Richmond's energy!  I'll take a look today and
tomorrow, but fear that by the time I get through he'll have done it over
several times.

The reason time goes so much faster as we get older, is that we slow down so
much.

Re: Richmond goes data-mining (a.k.a. shovelling through the sh..)

2010-04-27 Thread Peter Alcibiades

I've got through about 20 entries, and have a splitting headache from using
the Rev dictionary with its 4 point font.  How on earth does this manage to
be approved for use in the public sector in the UK?  Has no-one noticed yet? 
So I will have to resume in a bit using either the web version or will reset
the monitor resolution. 

There's a lot of winnowing out to do.  The dictionary classifications are
not consistent, see for instance the treatment of hotspot(s).  Some stuff is
indeed OS specific.  Some stuff is non-functional and only included not to
throw errors when people use Hypercard commands.  So it will be a lot
smaller list when its done.  There is also stuff included for Linux that
does not in fact work' like the printing and font stuff.  All the same, it
is going to throw up large functionality areas that are missing, and have
been for a long time, as in the speech stuff.  

So its worth doing, and Richmond done good to make a start.

[Database] Retrieving sql statement result

2010-04-27 Thread Marcello Bertoli
Hi all,

I have a question about runrev database commands. Is there a way to get the 
result of a sql statement that doesn't retrieve data (is not a select)? For 
example:

In a postgresql scenario I need to execute the statement:

listen foo

and I need to retrieve the result.

It seems that the only rev command I can use is revExecuteSql but in this way I 
can't get the result the sql engine gives after the statement is executed. 
revDataFromQuery seems to work only for retrieving data from a query, not from 
a statement...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Best Regards

the externalpackages returns empty, why?

2010-04-27 Thread Tiemo Hollmann TB
Hello,

 

for testing I created a new mainstack and tried:  put the externalpackages
of this stack into fld status.

It returns empty in the IDE as well as in a standalone, though I have
activated in the standalone settings Database and Valentina2 XML and
Internet libraries.

What am I doing wrong, is it a syntax error?

Thank you

Tiemo

Hi Tiemo,

at least for the IDE the externalPackages are a property of stack home

put the externalpackages of stack home

will give you the list. This is done in order to make the exts available to all

Re: Accessing stacks without opening

2010-04-27 Thread Marty Knapp
Thanks. I figured out, too, that my thinking that things were being 
saved in stacks I'd accessed this way was because they were still loaded 
into memory. When I quit and reopened nothing was there. So you need to 
save the stack. Still I can see where this can be handy in some 
situations as all the normal openCard, etc scripts are not called.

Marty Knapp wrote:
So it appears that you can set custom properties of a stack and put

that is open. I just did it by accident! That being the case, is 
there anything that I should be aware of when doing this? Is the 
referenced stack loaded into memory? Is this considered bad form?


As Phil said, it can be handy. I use prefs stacks this way sometimes 
because they're available but out of the message path. I make sure to 
close the prefs stack when the main stack quits.

 Charles, the pref file gets saved and it stores the data. The other 
 stacks in the app do not get saved I presume, so any changes to them 
 are only temporary. When your app starts, say in a startup handler or 
 in a preOpenStack handler, read the settings from your prefs file and 
 apply them again, as if someone had just entered the data into the 
 prefs stack.

Yes.

My stack loads all the docu stacks into memory, and _tries_ to unload them 
again. However, that fails sometimes, due to the build in docu using the stacks 
etc. So maybe the big resource usage you mentioned in the orignal mail, could 
be due to that.

Also, make sure to not put all the xml into one field and then parse that. That 
would be very resource intensive! Instead, load one file, parse it, then 
replace it with the next file, etc.

You could have used my library to access the values of the xml files, using 
something similar to (see below). Tho, depending on the way you read the xml 
yourself, your approach could be faster, as I am using the external to read the 
whole xml into customproperties (and it probably was simpler anyway, as you 
didn't need to learn how my stuff actually works).

I'm sure you had fun
Bjoernke

PS is code:

on mouseUp --untested
  repeat for each line theLine in field list of stack BvG docu
send docsLibContent  theLine to stack docsLib by BvG
if the result  true then

Re: On-Rev Directory Configuration

2010-04-27 Thread Bob Sneidar
Nice catch. This underscores an important principle I think anyone preparing 
files for web use should consider. Actually 3 principles:
1. don't capitalize anything.
2. don't use spaces in file names. 
3. don't use special characters in file names. 

I'm sure some could add a few others, but these are 3 big ones. You'd be 
surprised how many SQL databases consider capitals in table and column names 
for instance. If you make a practice of never capitalizing anything, it ceases 
to ever be a problem again.

Re: browser can't find .irev files on new on-rev subdomain

Martin,

I think you make a change to the .htaccess file that lives in the same 
directory as your index.irev file.

You add a line that  overrides the server defaults for index files.

On my runrev subdomain there is an .htaccess file in the public_html folder. If 
you are working out of another folder you'll have to put your .htaccess file in 
that folder.

Let's see if we can get it going,

Hi Michael
thanks for the quick reply

I looked for the .htaccess file.  There is one in the public_html directory
(it is blank)
there is not one in the subdirectory for the subdomain.  

I checked the subdirectories for the other subdomain that is working and
it does not have a .htaccess file.

In the development site I had a .htaccess file in a subdirectory of the 
subdomain
to protect some files in it.   That got copied over with the site. 
Could that be interfering with the loading of the site?

Re: browser can't find .irev files on new on-rev subdomain

2010-04-27 Thread Michael Kann
Martin, 

First, I noticed a mistake in my post. The last line should be 

-- in the same directory as your index.irev file (NOT FOLDER)


Just some thoughts:

I looked for the .htaccess file.  There is one in the public_html directory
(it is blank) there is not one in the subdirectory for the subdomain. 
-
-- To test it out you could create an .htaccess file in the same folder as your 
index.irev file
-

I checked the subdirectories for the other subdomain that is working and
it does not have a .htaccess file.
-
-- The .htaccess file could be in a higher directory. It could still have power 
over the subdirectories that are nested within it.
-

In the development site I had a .htaccess file in a subdirectory of the 
subdomain to protect some files in it.   That got copied over with the site.
Could that be interfering with the loading of the site?
-
-- Might be the case. If you can find where it got copied to you might try 
changing it, then leave it where it is.
-

I tested it on my server using this setup:

In the public_html folder I put two files

1. .htaccess

DirectoryIndex index.irev  -- only line in file

2. index.irev

-- contained this text

HTML
?rev
put the milliseconds
?
/HTML

3. Make sure you transfer files with ASCII transfer mode

4. In the browser type

http://fake.on-rev.com

5. You will see the milliseconds in your browser

You might try this toy configuration to get a purchase on the problem.

Good luck,

Mike

That's funny; I thought Enterprise owners who had access with the

were not allowed to discuss their findings in the wild.

Not that it fusses me unduly, being 'only' a Studio owner. However.

Yes.

My stack loads all the docu stacks into memory, and _tries_ to unload them

be due to that.


I loaded each XML file individually.

not the freezing of the RunRev IDE - that was clearly something to do

I Can't change field layers

2010-04-27 Thread LunchnMeets
Hi everyone,

I have three problems:

1) The button and field level numbers are locked within a group. So I can't 
rearrange them.

2) When I click on a group it moves with my cursor until I click again. 
That's obviously not what I wanted.

3) When I click on Select Group it doesn't allow me to click on 
individual fields. I can select the fields from within the inspector, but I 
shouldn't 
have to do that.

It used to be when I rebooted, these problems would go away but not this 
time. Any advise the group can give me is very appreciated.

Since these problems are only in two stacks, could they be corrupted?

dot POS files and Corpus Linguistics

2010-04-27 Thread Richmond Mathewson

 Well, Yippee-doo; the good folks at the University of
Oxford have sent me the files of the
York-Toronto-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English Prose
(try saying that with your mouth full of cornflakes).

Jolly generous considering it is normally restricted to British
Higher Education Institutions (somehow the University of
Plovdiv, Paisii Hilendarski doesn't fit in that category).

HOWEVER; the corpus comes in .pos files whcih cheeses me
off immensely; on opening them with the redoubtable
TextWrangler they are heavily formatted in some odd fashion
suggesting some sort of meta-tagging.

The Java-based CS_2.002.74.jar, a.k.a 'CorpusSearch' doesn't run
for some funny reason on ye olde G4 (have yet to try it on the
Ubu-Box); but that doesn't really fuss me as ye olde academics
have decided the parameters of their stuff in advance and my feet
are too big for their shoes (hey; it's mixed metaphors time again).

So; I am looking to build a Runrev data-miner / chewer / masticator
/ whatever; but, until I can work out what a .pos file can be opened with
(so I can hae a keek at its formatin) the whole thing is on standby.
Once I can see what a .pos file should look like in some sort of POS-file
reader I can cobble together a suitably algorithmic sieve to make the
file look like it should inside a text field prior to 'chewin the fat'.

Google comes up with unintentionally witty results about 'point of sale'
and so forth, as well as something about Arabic linguistic corpora,
Chinese linguistic corpora and so forth (well, at least they are going
in the right direction).

Having written one of those slimy messages back, where one thanks people
fulsomely and then shoves in the 'However'; I got a we cannot comment on
other methods of accessing the corpus message. Well; at least I signed 
my name with

my second name (Richmond) otherwise I would have had what the Americans call
a 'Dear John' message . . .  :)

Any help re POS-file readers would be most welcome.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.

That sounds like something to do with your operating system rather

Can you tell me how you did it? I have a feeling the way I went about it

extremely and unnecessarily long-winded.


I extracted the dictionary entries by reading the custom properties from

this, so I just modified that script a bit.) Once I had a complete list 
of all 1600+ entries, I used BBEdit and grep to remove or extract

I first removed from the list all entries that were available on all 
platforms, leaving only those that had at least one platform missing. I 
also removed entries where the dictionary is wrong (for example, all 
inks are fully cross-platform now but the dictionary hasn't been 
updated.) I also removed all synonyms (mostly the XBrowser references) 
and all instances of COM: except for the first one.


What I found when I was done was that the only tokens that Linux does 
not support fall into three basic categories: browser xcmd, 
quicktime-related, and things the OS itself does not support. I also 
found 32 Linux-only commands unique to that OS which no other platforms 
support. There are Linux/OS X commands that Windows does not support. 
There are 16 Windows-only tokens that don't apply to any other OS. And 
so forth.


The results are here: http://jacque.on-rev.com/codebits/tokens.txt. It 
looks to me like linux support is well-balanced, and that every OS has a 
good number of platform-specific tokens that can't possibly be applied 
elsewhere.

Putting

Putting one of the above into a popup button doen't work.

So, is there a way to somehow store the selection before it get lost?

You were asking for supported tokens in the language, so that's what the 
list includes. I just noticed a couple of entries that are now fully 
cross-platform, so I removed them and updated the text file a moment 
ago. http://jacque.on-rev.com/codebits/tokens.txt


BTW, while checking with one of the engineers this morning about 
cross-platform inks, I asked about the font issue. He said it doesn't 
occur on his machine (nor does it on my Ubuntu installation) so he's not 
sure what's going on with that. He mentioned that users should ensure 
they have the right fonts installed, but I think you've already done 
that. The last time I worked with someone who had the problem it turned 
out to be their font manager, but I don't know enough about it to expand 
on that. He updated his copy and the problem went away.

dictionary as being Mac +Windows only.  I haven't tried to use either one.

Cannot run .exec file of project

2010-04-27 Thread charles61

I am using Rev Enterprise 4.0.0 (built 950). After compiling my project, I
found that my app ran fine on OS X (10.6.2) but it will not run on Windows
XP using Parallels Version Build 5.0.9344. The splash screen appears but the
application does not launch and an error message dialog that is set using
the error reporting in Standalone Applications setting appears:

Executing at 1:48:22 PM on Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Type: Chunk: can't find stack
Object: card 'card id 1002' of stack 'C:/Documents and
Settings/Administrator/Desktop/S504.exe'
Line: show stack 'Support 504 Assist'
Line Num: 48
Hint: continue

And I had to use Control-Alt-Delete to stop the splash from continuing to
try to find the Support 504 Assist stack.

The above script refers to my script in the splash stack below which is
supposed to launch my app:

on openStack
   send continue to me in 2 seconds
end openStack
   
on continue
   close stack AppStart
   go stack Support 504 Assist
   show stack Support 504 Assist
end continue

The funny thing is that this same script work about a year ago when I
created another app. When I tested my old app, I got the same error message
except with only the name of the app being different! In both instances, I
tried to launch both apps from the desktop.

I check my standalone application settings to see if the stack Support 504
Assist was accidentally left out but it is included in the stack files.

Has anyone ran into this problem? Or is this script needs to be changed?

Oh right, I forgot those too. Basically the browser, speech, and 
recording features are all implemented as externals. Ditto dynamic font 
loading. In Mac and Windows there are system-wide resources that can be 
called on to implement these things. If Linux doesn't provide that then 
it would likely be a lot of work to write each of them from scratch. 
It's my guess that's the reason they aren't available on that OS.

Knowing that RunRev 4.0 for Windows will not run under WINE in Linux

think that Windows executables made by the RunRev standalone builder are
probably not very haooy with any sort of emulated environment.

You have a couple of choices. The easiest is to just turn off 
auto-hilite and substitute your own handlers. On mousedown, hilite the 
button, on mouseUp and mouseRelease, unhilite it.


The second way is to use a local script variable to store the 
selectedchunk. When the button is released, reselect the stored chunk:


local sStoredChunk

on mouseDown
 put the selectedchunk into sStoredChunk
end mouseDown

on mouseUp
 select sStoredChunk
end mouseUp

on mouseRelease
 select sStoredChunk
end mouseRelease

Well, I wouldn't bother because if they are marked 'Mac +Windows only' 
they are probably not going to do you

much good under Linux.

Mac and Windows are like Communist states; centrally planned and 
controlled (and should we forget that we might
like to recall Mr Jobs' recent antics with Adobe) with all that entails; 
a certain even-ness of form and quality, but an

inability to do some individual, regional stuff.

Linux is rather like Germany in the early nineteenth century; a lot of 
city-states with a wide variety of political systems
but sharing a fairly closely related dialects. Great for growing your 
own, private political experimentation; but when
you export your bananas to the next-door statelet don't be entirely 
surprised if they fall foul of decree Number 666 on

crooked bananas that only holds sway in that statelet.



Oh right, I forgot those too. Basically the browser, speech, and

that then it would likely be a lot of work to write each of them from 
scratch. It's my guess that's the reason they aren't available on that 
OS.




So; it would probably better in future, to prevent these temper 
tantrums, general misunderstandings, and so forth
if anything that is implemented as an external was marked as so, so that 
folk who ran RunRev on a different platform to that
on which a certain external ran would be aware that it was an external 
and not what we might terms a core feature of

the IDE.

'Core Features' should be defined as those capabilities that functioned 
100% on all the OSes for which RunRev is
currently available (obviously, in the light of so many flavours of 
Linux there would have to be some sort of

rider referring to the flavours the Linux version was guaranteed for.

If this was sorted out developers would understand what was really meant 
by cross-platform and, should RunRev
not live up to their expectations / requirements shop elsewhere. 
Similarly, if developers wished to develop for
a subset of the platforms for which RunRev is offered they could check 
capabilities against a (three-column) list

to see which externals were available where.

It might help. It's clear if you open the Externals folder in any of the

 Wow I rattled that one off fast; hitting the 'O' key twice instead of 
the 'P' . . .  :)


Here we go again: all sorts of unknowns are coming to the surface re RunRev:

1. RunRev IDE for Windows does not run under WINE

(Woops; before I get all domatic about the inevitable number 2 I'd 
better see if I can
get a Windows standalone to function in WINE; turning on the Ubu-Box and 
here we go . . . )


2. WOW! I got a (albeit crude, basic stack) Windows exe standalone, 
built on Ubuntu 10.04 beta something

to run under WINE. Although all the colours were inverted.

3. Now somebody with some jazzier computers than mine had better try the 
same tests with VMware,
CrossOver, CrossDresser and all the rest. [Trick Question; which of 
those last 3 methods of emulation

is not an emulator?]

I am beginning to think that RunRev's REAL shortcoming is not that it 
cannot do this and that on some

OS or another, but that it is suffering from serious UNDER-DOCUMENTATION.

Adequate Documentation will require a whole lot of work and a whole lot 
of testing.

 Well I didn't!  As the Documentation never gives the impression that 
there is anything qualitatively different
between what is implemented in the 'core features' and as externals, and 
does not indicate what is 'core'
and what is not; I don't suppose it has occurred to many people to go 
and look.


My Externals folder (Mac G4) contains these:

Browser,revbrowser.bundle
Database,revdb.bundle
Font Support,revfont.bundle
Speech,revspeech.bundle
XML,revxml.bundle
Video Grabber,revvideograbber.bundle
Revolution Zip,revzip.bundle

I cannot see the sound-recording stuff there; so how am I to know, as 
you claim, that it is implemented

as an external?

My headless XP box is playing silly bu**ers at the moment (i.e. it 
will not connect with the Mac - have to join it

up with a VDU and a keyboard and muck about).

My Externals folder (Ubu-Box) contains these:

revdb.so
revxml.so
revzip.so

Now that tells me that the Linux version does not sport the same 
font-handling capabilities as the Mac one;
but what capabilities? The ability to embed fonts/ dynamic font-loading? 
the name 'revfont.bundle'

doesn't strike me as particularly transparent.

So, things are not that much clearer, and while Thee, Me and many other 
people on the Use-List may
enjoy the hunt to find out the cans and the cannots, in the long run 
it might be better if things were

explictly stated where everybody can see them.

Presumably by resumeSteck you mean resumeSteak; as Steve Jobs is

Richmond,

Thanks for you comment! It did run under previous versions of Parallel last 
year. And I am actually running on XP. This latest version of Parallels is 
supposed to be much improved. So the problem is my script, Rev. 4.0, or 
Parallels. I don't have a windows computer to try it on but I may be able to 
try on one in a few days.

There's a glitch in groups which I've bug-reported, where the app 
browser does not show the group controls while you are in group-edit 
mode. You can work around it. Make sure that the Select Grouped icon is 
bolded on the toolbar. Edit the group, click on the object to relayer, 
and reset its number in its property inspector.

Composite objects (was:How to insert text at cursor position?)

2010-04-27 Thread DunbarX
Jacques.

This is an aspect of Rev that likely confuses novices. Like me.

The comboBox is really a composite object consisting of a field and other 
controls. So when you have a selection in it, asking for the selectedChunk, 
say, gives you a field reference you might never have known even existed.

on mouseUp
   answer the selectedChunk --when the selection is in a comboBox
end mouseUp

Don't get me started on what comprises a tabbed menu, never mind a 
dataGrid. The point is that researching what tools might be available to gather 
the 
properties or object references you think you might need are sort of buried. 
One might find their thinking restricted to buttons, and miss out.

However, I got led up that garden path and spent some time mucking
around with Lotus notes.

I then found out that in the case of corpus files POS means 'parts of 
speech'.

This is typical academia delighting in obscurantism.

Now for more 'fun':

Also bundled in the corpus are .psd files which, wait for it, are NOT
Adobe Photoshop files.

PSD: Probably Something Different ???

OT: MacBookPro advice needed.

2010-04-27 Thread Alex Tweedly


I'd like advice in two areas .

1. Should I buy the 13-inch or the 15-inch ?
I can compare the screen sizes, and the resolution and even the relative 
weights.
But I don't have a realistic idea of how much faster the Intel i5 is 
over the older Dual Core.
So any advice about performance, or pointers to reliable benchmark sites 
for Mac ?



2. I plan to dual-boot or triple-boot OSX, Win 7 and Linux (some kind). 
Probably just using Bootcamp, but I might want to use VmWare or other VM 
later.

Any advice on setting the machine up to make this easy ?

As I understand it, the new Intel i5 is not that much faster than the
old Dual Core, but the new graphics architecture makes the new
MacBooks way faster than the old models, even if this is not obvious
from the basic CPU speed.

Just get the biggest hard drive you can.

My kids use BootCamp because they want to be able to play all the modern games.
I use Sun's Virtual Box which is free, but doesn't have the
performance of BootCamp. But I can switch to it without rebooting and
it runs Rev fine.
Parallels ( I think Fusion but I'm not sure) has the ability to run
rom your BootCamp partition, so you can have both systems and just
choose the one that meets your needs at the time.

 found that my app ran fine on OS X (10.6.2) but it will not run on Windows
 XP using Parallels Version Build 5.0.9344. The splash screen appears but the
 application does not launch and an error message dialog that is set using
 the error reporting in Standalone Applications setting appears:

Are you sure the missing stack is part of the exe? Is is it a separate

2010-04-27 Thread Petrides, M.D. Marian

Alex
This is a little off target from the question you actually asked, but  
I wanted to share my experience going from a 15 in MBP to a 13 in MBA.


The biggest impediment I found to getting work done efficiently on the  
MBA was not the lack of speed.  It was the fact that the 13 inch  
screen seriously limited the number of apps I could have running side- 
by-side. This then got  in the way of such basic operations as copying  
text from a Word document into a text field in an application I was  
building in Rev or having a PDF of the Rev manual open at the same  
time as I was using Rev. I eventually decided to go back to using a 15  
inch MBP pretty much exclusively for the screen size.


Of course, YMMV.

My advice is smaller is better. 

I have an LCD screen at home and at work along with full keyboard and mouse and 
other peripherals at these two major use locations. So in effect, I have a dual 
screen setup at home and at the office. One large LCD and a smaller laptop LCD. 
When I travel I obviously only have the small laptop LCD but because the laptop 
is small, I tend to take it lots of places because it doesn't weight much and 
it is easy to protect.

Small screen / small laptop works quite well for me with the LCD monitors at 
home and work.

RevUp Issue 79. Wasn't sure If I should place the ssMacWindows162 folder into

The first example is to create a field with the following script to turn on the

   setWindowModified the windowID of this stack, 1
end 

As soon as I type in the field I get:

setWindowModified looks like a Mac parameter (?). What am I missing?

Re: browser can't find .irev files on new on-rev subdomain

2010-04-27 Thread Martin Koob
Hi Michael

I tried putting the .htaccess file in the subdomain's document 
root and putting it in the public_html directory but that did not help.

I tried just putting a basic html page in the subdomain's document 
root as index.html and that still generates the 404 error.

if I take out the index.irev and index.html pages I will see a listing 
of the files in the document root.

I am not sure what I did wrong.   The process I used to create the
subdomain was:
1. I used cPanel to create the subdomain for a hosted domain
2. I used the file manage from cPanel to copy the files from a 
document root where I was working on the site to the new 
document root.
3. I updated a config.irev file to ensure all the information 
was correct to reflect the new path.

Is there something else I need to do to set up a subdomain.

Externals are a little bit advanced. They aren't hard exactly but I'm

If you're on the Improve list, the intro email you received explains the 
NDA status of anything posted to that list. I think most people already 
know that the next version is in progress, but technically we should 
discuss it over there.


That said, it's pre-release software and those who use it can expect 
some bugs. The reason to release it to a limited audience is so that the 
bugs can be reported and fixed before the version goes final. Images 
shouldn't turn black (that's an alpha glitch which could be due either 
to Rev or to the format of your image) so I hope you'll report it. That 
way the team is alerted and can check it.


They don't recommend using pre-release builds for any real work. Stick 
with the release version for that stuff.

 From: Graham  Heather Harrison

 Does this mean that using an external is not just a case of
 putting it in the appropriate library and Voila!? In that case I
 will have to look at these lessons…

I don't know what the instructions you followed said, but you need to bind
the external to your app by setting the externals property of a stack to
the path to the DLL or bundle. It's possible to set the property of the main
stack manually, and then save the app; when you restart the app, it will
load the external. However, for cross-platform apps the external name will
be different (foo.dll versus foo.bundle), so you have to do something a bit
uglier, typically with some code in the preOpenStack handler of your main
stack:

if ExternalWrapper is not among the lines of the stacksInUse then
  set the name of the templateStack to ExternalWrapper
  if the platform is Win32 then
set the externals of the templateStack to externals/foo.dll
  else
set the externals of the templateStack to externals/foo.bundle
  end if
  set the visible of the templateStack to false
  create stack
  start using stack ExternalWrapper
end if

This causes the name to be determined at runtime, but by then the main stack
is already loaded so you have to attach the external to a separate dummy
stack. You should also delete the dummy stack in your main stack's
closeStack handler.

At least this is how it's done in 3.5. I don't have 4.0.

You need to tell the stack to use it. Or, alternately, you need to set 
up the IDE to automatically use it. You can do the first by setting the 
externals property of the stack (the first lesson), you can do the 
second by setting up the IDE folder and loading structures (the second 
lesson.) Unless you plan to use this external in every stack, setting up 
for a single stack is good enough.



Externals are a little bit advanced. They aren't hard exactly but
I'm not sure I'd learn Rev with them. This may be something you

I didn't mean writing one, just using them. Externals are custom 
extensions to the language. When you're just starting out with Rev I 
figured using the native stuff first would be the best way to wrap your 
head around how things work in general before jumping into extra 
additions. But they aren't *that* hard, so if you want it, go for it.



On the other hand, if you're game, there are two lessons on the web
site that cover how to set up and work with a stack using
externals.



Does this mean that using an external is not just a case of putting
it in the appropriate library and Voila!? In that case I will have to
look at these lessons…


Right, they aren't automatic, they need to be specified. If you set the 
externals property of your stack using the correct file path to the 
external, it will load the next time the stack loads. If you want it 
available all the time for all stacks, then Trevor's lesson explains in 
good detail what you need to do to make it a part of the IDE. I don't 
generally go that far, since the very few externals I use are almost 
always exclusive to a particular stack. I usually put the external in 
the same working folder with my stack and point the stack's externals 
property to a relative file path.

Re: I Can't change field layers

Joe,
Rev actually ships with a wonderful tool for relayering (especially  
within groups) that nobody seems to know about. Check out Rev  
Navigator in the Plugins menu in the Development menu.
You can try it for free but, if you use it as often as I do, you'll  
find it is a great investment.

Hi everyone,

I have three problems:

1) The button and field level numbers are locked within a group. So  
I can't

rearrange them.

2) When I click on a group it moves with my cursor until I click  
again.

That's obviously not what I wanted.

3) When I click on Select Group it doesn't allow me to click on
individual fields. I can select the fields from within the  
inspector, but I shouldn't

have to do that.

It used to be when I rebooted, these problems would go away but not  
this

time. Any advise the group can give me is very appreciated.

Since these problems are only in two stacks, could they be corrupted?
