User Extensions/Externals

What's the situation in the end, and what is to be done?
Now that we have gotten to a real list, how bad is it? Jacque basically suggested earlier that there are things present in all versions that are missing in others, and that Linux is no worse off than the others. I don't think this is quite correct because there are aspects of the Linux situation that we don't seem to have in the others. One, there is core functionality that simply does not work properly and where there's no decent workaround. In this category surely we should put: -- font handling -- printing -- resolution and sizing issues in the IDE -- stability of the editor Second, there is stuff missing from Linux which seems to represent the future direction of the platform, and which does not just affect Rev as IDE. When we see revBrowser and revWeb continue to be missing, this is a rather big deal. It means that revved pages are a sort of Active X, completely inaccessible from Linux. It does mean this, doesn't it? Wben I visit a revved page, like Sarah's, I get invited to install the plug-in, but then am told that its 'coming soon'. So revved pages appear to be a Linux free zone right now. Third, there is a lot of functionality in third party add-ons which is evidently not going to come for Linux. Now this is very understandable from the point of view of the writers of the add-ons, but from the point of view of a user, it adds up to a further feature deficit. Fourth, there are some ways in which Rev on Linux is not a well behaved application: here you would put support for virtual desktops. Another category of the missing features seems less serious: that is sound and video recording. This is less serious because there are the features in Linux to allow these functions to be implemented as a shell call from any gui front end written in anything, so there are workarounds. Bottom Line. We have to be pragmatic about this. Rev is a fairly small language community. On the recording features, it probably makes most sense to just include in the user guide a shortish section on how to call the standard Linux tools from the shell to do recording and playback. Maybe there are other areas in which Mac or Windows specific features can be implemented easily enough in the shell, and the UG should cover this at least in outline. On the core stuff that doesn't work, this has to be fixed, or we don't have a product. I really like Rev (and the people), but we can't be expected to carry on struggling with resetting the screen resolution every time we want to use the IDE, just because we have a 22 inch screen, and to have printing and fonts not working properly, and to have the editor freezing so we have to use an editor with none of the integration of the built-in one. This stuff just has to be fixed if Rev wants to carry on selling a Linux version. Richard has sometimes argued about resources and market share, and there are aspects of this where these arguments make sense, but they do not make sense on this stuff, because there is no point being in a market if your product is not simply lacking features, which is understandable, but if the features it has do not work to a level which make it only marginally usable. RevWeb and RevBrowser are must haves, but in a less urgent sense than the above. Without the core stuff, the version does not have a present. Without these, it doesn't have a future. But it does not have to have these next month, it just has to have them on the development path in the reasonably near future, and there has to be some proposed date or release in which they are scheduled. The same applies to support for multiple desktops. It has to be done if you're going to have an acceptable Linux product, but it does not have to be done next week. The product is usable without it. Its just below standard in one respect. The migration of higher levels of functionality into platform specific add ons is a serious strategic issue, but if we are in triage mode, it can wait. I do have thoughts about this, and it should be addressed, but after some of the more urgent things are taken care of. Finally, we need some communication about the broken core functionality elements. If we are not going to fix printing, fonts, the editor, ability to use the IDE on large screens, with the most goodwill in the world, you just can't carry on using Rev. Is there a commitment to fixing these soon? Please someone, say something!

Re: OT: MacBookPro advice needed.
Modern versions of both parallels and fusion can run multiple instances of Windows while running OSX. If you purchase a MacBook now vs buy a used model from a private party, you will be working with Snow Leopard. You need to check for compatibilities and ask specifically about Snow Leopard to make sure you will get the performance you want. Do you have the option of visiting an Apple store? The one in Vegas is very busy, very helpful, and has a well-trained staff that I have found tells is like it is and not just to sell computers. The largest drain on performance is running graphic/video apps no matter what OS, so triple boot may depend on which apps. I run my MacBook 13 inch (single boot only) with a second monitor so screen size is not the issue in my office. I think the adapter mini-VGA comes with a new MacBook, so the external monitor is simply plug and play without reboot. OSX moves all the windows and desktop icons automatically so you can switch on the fly, even back and forth if necessary. MacFixiT.com usually has a wealth of info about all the glitches/ tricks and presents a high volume of searchable contributor material. The VMWare support site also has a wealth of articles about specific programs and compatibilities. Good luck, On Apr 27, 2010, at 3:46 PM, Alex Tweedly wrote: I'd like advice in two areas . 1.

Re: browser can't find .irev files on new on-rev subdomain
Martin, I don't have any suggestions about your index.* files not being served, though it sounds like there is some unintended redirection occurring. However you can turn the directory file listing off by adding this line in the .htaccess file: Options All -Indexes That will then generate an error if anybody does e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/directory_with_no_index_file/ Directory listing denied or whatever The .htaccess file will affect the directory it is in and all its subdirectories This was one of the first things I changed when I got my on-rev account. They are set up rather insecurely by default, in my view. Martin Baxter Martin Koob wrote: 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.

Hi Graham Heather Harrison, If I uderstand you correctly, you want your script to find out where the My Revolution folder resides, in case the user changed it. To get this path, you can use the revEnvironmentCustomizationPath() function. This function isn't documented either ;-) and this function is not available outside the IDE.

Re: User Extensions/Externals
Graham Heather Harrison wrote: I am nowhere near deploying, just learning. This parameter is available, but seemingly not used by rev until you rub it's nose in it. Since I dislike doing things twice, I see no reason to repeat the information in a rev script. And the two lessons available, get around the problem by making the user select the file, which is just as unpalatable. Now you introduce choosecutomizationpath which may be a good solution but I can find no reference to it in the user guide, or the dictionary. Not the first such omission by any means. Mark S. has given you an undocumented, internal IDE command. I would not use it, not at this point in your learning experience. The second lesson I mentioned explains what to do to make the external available universally throughout the IDE. I don't think that's what you want to do, so you can ignore that for now. The lessons ask you to choose a file, but that is a one-time only event for the initial setup. It isn't what your users will do, and you won't have to do it twice either. Actually, Jacque's suggestion: 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. sounds very good to me. As soon as I decipher the guide's explanation I will give it a go. In a nutshell: you need to attach the external to your stack. Externals only load when the stack first opens. You can set the stack's externals property and after that, each time the stack loads it will also load the external. For now, that's what I'd do. You are not using a cross-platform external, only a Mac one, so for now don't worry about jugging the OS versions, etc. Keep it simple to start. If I were teaching a class, I wouldn't recommend messing with externals at all at this point, so do the bare minimum to get it working and worry about the finer details later. Put your external bundle into the same folder with your working stack. Set the externals in the property inspector to the path to the bundle. For now, use a hard-coded file path specific to your Mac. Save the stack, close it, reopen it, the external should be available. This isn't a portable solution, due to the hard-coded file path, but it will let you continue working and learning. You can fix it later. -- 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

Re: OT: MacBookPro advice needed.
Alex, Over the last decade and a half each new laptop I bought had a bigger screen. I've always considered this an improvement. On the last purchase I debated for almost six months between the 15 and the 17. I finally got the 17 and have not regretted that decision at all. Based on my experience, you would probably be happier with a 15 instead of the 13 - and happier yet with the 17. Several people have mentioned connecting to a larger monitor at home or in the office. I use this arrangement myself and my old eyes like it a lot. If you are going this route I'd recommend getting an external monitor with the same resolution as the laptop (just a larger size) - that way, when you change from laptop to desktop monitor, everything is in the same relative position (in other words, the icons don't get re-arranged when moving to the smaller screen). This works with the high resolution 15 and std. 20 monitor or the 17 and a std. 23 monitor. For a laptop, with many applications running, the amount of RAM will make more difference than the processor speed. Get a much as possible. You didn't ask about the SSD option but I'd advise skipping it on a laptop - put the money into RAM. BTW I use an SSD on my Mini and it is fantastic. I can't stand the glossy screens, some people like them better. This is an important decision (on both the laptop and the desktop) be sure to look at both before buying. I only run OS X so I can't offer any assistance with item 2. I'm sure you will enjoy your new computer - no matter which one you get - today you really can't go wrong. Congratulations.

Mark, is this one off or do you want to write a stack that does this repeatedly? Is it ok to use apple script, i.e. Mac only? What system version do you use? Do you have Quicktime Pro? this is a little applescript that assumes your quicktime movie does only have one track and that is the movie. It makes a selection in that movie and copies the selection to a new document. Than it deletes all the frames except every fifth. If you have Quicktime Pro you can export these frames as image sequence manually. If you don't have Quicktime Pro I can see if I can provide you with a preset file for exporting the images. You dont need the Pro license to script and export from Quicktime Player. Of course you can do all this from within Rev and take the selection of the movie you manually make and send it as applescript to the Quicktime Player, which opens the movie, selects what you have selected in Rev and does the export. It is just a little more scripting. If you want to go Jaque's way of exporting snapshots you have to make assumptions about the framerate. Rev only gives you the duration and the timescale. Usually quicktime movies have a timescale of 600, but not necessarily so. At a timescale of 600 a duration of 1200 is 2 seconds worth of movie. At a framerate of 25 that would be 50 frames. A single frame would have the duration of 24. At a framerate of 30/sec the duration of an individual frame would be 20. So assume you have a framerate of 30 you would advance your currenttime by 30 to go to the next frame, or by 150 to advance by 5 frames. here is the applescript -- set tStart to 866 set tEnd to 1081 tell application QuickTime Player set tName to name of document 1 tell document tName set the selection start to tStart set the selection end to tEnd copy end tell set tSelectionDocName to mySelection make new document paste document 1 set tSelectionDocName to name of document 1 set tNoOfFrames to the number of frames of track 1 of document tSelectionDocName repeat if tNoOfFrames = 0 then exit repeat if tNoOfFrames mod 5 ≠ 0 then delete frame tNoOfFrames of track 1 of document tSelectionDocName set tNoOfFrames to tNoOfFrames - 1 end repeat end tell it also assumes that the movie you are interested in is the frontmost in Quicktime Player. regards Bernd -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/OT-Exporting-movie-clip-to-stills-tp2069329p2073838.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

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? Can i insert text into a field from a popup button? 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 ___ 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: Standalone problem
Hi René, Usually, only the first error is relevant. Sometimes, the other errors give you useful information, but most of the time it is the first error that made your script stop running. There are a few exceptions on this, e.g. if you run the stack in the IDE or if stacks are protected with passwords. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer We have updated TwistAWord.

Re: browser can't find .irev files on new on-rev subdomain
Martin, One thing I just thought about. Using Windows XP I uploaded a file to the server through the cPanel. It didn't perform. Then someone was kind enough to let me know that cPanel might be messin' with the line endings and I should use Filezilla. I transferred the file with Filezilla in ASCII mode and then it worked.

Re: Same file?
If you have write access permissions to the path(s) then you could try 1. Split off the file names at the end of path1 and path2 2. Save a dummy file to path1. - (OK, a problem if you don't have write access permission to the path) 3. See if the dummy file exists on path2.

Re: OT: sane detailed TechCrunch article (HTML5, Flash)
Since Flash appeared in scene, i knew that it was prone to abuse by greedy web developers. Still today, you could see some webpages that display 5 or more flash files running at the same time. Each one of these files wants whole network bandwidth, whole processor attention and all memory they can get... Could HTML5 stop this non sense??? Flash is, like Director, a movie player that requires all computer resources to ensure smooth playback. In theory, if you are using your computer to play a movie, you should not try to type a letter or hear music, or use another applications. Your whole attention must be focused in that single movie that Flash is playing. But flash plugin (and developers) do not acknowledge this. In any moment, and without notice, you could have 25 or 30 flash players running swf and flv content in your browser. If Adobe enforced a rule of only last player runs, Flash would gain greater appreciation among all developers.

RE: [OT] GameOver Mr. Jobs
Story has a way to repeat itself. Once upon a time I used a Mac for work and leisure. I read MacWorld, MacUser and MacAddict and for sure learned to love the company and the philosophy that create the Mac way. But then, the inconformity of Mac culture drive itself to endless comparations of itself with Windows users. In fact, the most detailed articles comparing Windows and Mac OS appeared in MacWorld and MacUser. Could you believe that i learned more about Windows reading Macintosh magazines than many Windows users learn reading their OS documentation? When i had the opportunity to sit down with a Windows user to view his Windows PC, i knew more about the Windows GUI than himself. All this knowledge directly from Mac magazines. The tipping point and warning signal that i have to change from Mac to Windows was an infamous ad with an Intel processor on the back of a snail... I have to thanks the Mac culture for educating me in many computing task, like frecuent data backup, keeping organized my files in neatly labeled folders and be careful about viruses. (At the moment of writing this, I still have not infected any of my computers with a virus) Time have proved that i make the right choice when i changed platforms and skip the whole PowerPC and complete list of propietary interface external devices experience. Today you could buy a Mac and, if you wish, run Windows and Linux on the same machine using cross platform hardware and if you are enough motivated you could do otherwise... So, what this history teach me about iPad future? Apple changes, and changes always in the direction of profits. Do you want to be 100% accurate about future Apple developments in software and hardware? Look first at the directions where profits are blowing.
