more crashes with Rev 3.5 and above?
Hi folks, I'm trying to understand the experience one client is having. We moved his Mac-only standalone app from the 3.0 engine to 3.5, then a couple of weeks later to 4.0. Since moving beyond 3.0, his customers seem to be experiencing a lot more "app unexpectedly quit" crashes. Is it just my perception, or is that your experience too? If you have the same increase in crashes, have you found any particular commands or command sequences that either increase or decrease the crash frequency? Or has your crash rate remained unchanged since 3.0? When the problem happens, it's normally during a file read. Like this: from crash log -- Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Thread 0 Crashed: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libSystem.B.dylib 0x0916 __memcpy + 374 1 libSystem.B.dylib 0x9848de4f fread + 132 2 ...ss.app.rev 0x001405df MCS_read(void*, unsigned int, unsigned int&, IO_header*) + 111 3 ...ss.app.rev 0x001bab88 MCVariableArray::loadkeys(IO_header*, bool) + 744 4 ...ss.app.rev 0x00112eb8 MCObject::load(IO_header*, char const*) + 1880 5 ...ss.app.rev 0x001a15e0 MCStack::load(IO_header*, char const*, unsigned char) + 64 6 ...ss.app.rev 0x00072a0c MCDispatch::readfile(char const*, char const*, IO_header*&, MCStack*&, bool) + 1260 7 ...ss.app.rev 0x00072ed9 MCDispatch::loadfile(char const*, MCStack*&) + 585 8 ...ss.app.rev 0x00073247 MCDispatch::findstackname(MCString const&) + 343 9 ...ss.app.rev 0x00029677 MCChunk::getobj(MCExecPoint&, MCObject*&, unsigned int&, unsigned char) + 2103 end of crash log -- But the same files are most often read without a problem. This makes me think there's something environmental going on, but that's a guess.

Re: A problem with this prefers script...
I want to thank everyone for their help! I have to go back and review
information on file management. For others who may have this same question
or problem, here is my script for loading prefs:
on loadPrefs pFilename
local tPrefs
-- put url ("binfile:" & pFilename) into tPrefs
IF the platform is "MacOS"
then
put url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath("preferences") & "/" &
"504_prefs") into tPrefs
end if
IF the platform is "win32"
then
put url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath(26) & "/" & "504_prefs") into
tPrefs
end if
and here is my script for saving my prefs file:
IF the platform is "MacOS"
then
put arrayEncode(tPrefs) into url ("binfile:" &
specialFolderPath("preferences") & "/" & "504_prefs")
end if
IF the platform is "win32"
then
put arrayEncode(tPrefs) into url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath(26) &
"/" & "504_prefs")
end if
Again, thanks to everyone for their help!

just a fancy suffix ("prf" = abbr. for preferences and is a common suffix on

Bob Sorry to dash your illusions; I studied PASCAL 5 in 1985; Thee and Me are alive, and so is PASCAL; neither Thee, not Me, nor PASCAL are as young as we were in 1985. Hey; anybody remember MINIFORTRAN? I remember when I was visiting Mum and Dad at New Year seeing my PASCAL final project lurking in the attic; maybe I should get it out and 'give it a whirl'. Mind you typing the whole thing into the machine will be a real labour of love. What I do remember is: 1. It was a program for making a concordance of a text. [This was conceived because I was sent 'over' from the Philosophy department to the Maths dept. for computer programming. The lecturers all made loud and public fun of the "wierdo in the kilt from the Philosophy dept" and said that ONLY mathematicians could program; and that PASCAL, being a serious, hairy-chested sort of computer language, could only deal with crunching numbers - hence my determination to crunch text]. 2. A long-suffering 'slave' in the computer building (full of enormous tape drives that went "whirr, whirr") typed in an English translation of Leibniz's 'Monadologie'. 3. The program crashed the University computer (hurrah, hurrah - let's hear it for Mathewson). I will probably be able to run it on a Pentium II I have, running FreeDOS with the GEM GUI (lovely job) and some sort of cheapo PASCAL - in all likelihood the 32 MB RAM is more than the University of Durham had in 1985. 4. An incredibly seedy man who was my computer supervisor almost tied himself in knots having to admit that my program was the best of the 100 students in the year. Extra fun was had because I asked the head of Philosophy to accompany me to the meeting so that I could make a formal complaint about departmental bullying towards me because I was an Arts student. About once every 5 years I go back to Durham to visit . . . . . . the pubs where I did most of my studying; and everytime I pass the building that housed the VAX (I wonder what is in there now?) I blow it a kiss - Wow I wish my life now was as much fun as when I was an undergraduate ___ 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

These functions will only return a path to a FOLDER,
as the name "specialFOLDERpath" suggests!
You have to provide a filename, too!
Like:
...
specialFolderPath(26) & "/" & "your_prefs_file.prf"

See above "binfile:..." requires a filename but you only supply a FOLDER.

I was only able to release that because I do not depend on software sales for my bread and cheese. Now, once one moves away from the free software model we are in different territory; and I don't think the 2 really overlap. I will be releasing a commercial variant of my free software in mid to late August; mainly because the cost of bread and cheese is going up faster than my non-software income . . . :) And, to tell the truth, because I have had a 34 year fantasy that one day I might be a "real" computer programmer who lives off his work. If we examine RunRev; its model starts with a free version, revMedia, which is supported by 2 commercial variants of the same thing - it is marvellous insofar as everybody can "come to the table"; but those who want a glass of wine and a side-dish have to pay. As the glass of wine and so on is really considerably more than revMedia they have to pay quite a lot. Of course there is NO SUCH THING as free software; all people who write software have to eat; there are, however, various ways in which they can get their food. In my own case my 'free' software is 'paid for' by the parents who send their children to my EFL school (if only they knew . . .). As soon as I see software that is not 'free' (i.e. the end-user is expected to pay for something) I suspect that the programmer may be expecting to live fully or partly from software revenues. If that is so, and the cost of bread-and-cheese is anything like what it is in Bulgaria they are going to have to shift a lot of units at $49 a pop. OR; some people have done a "quick-n-dirty" to see if 'the fish will bite', and if so, they can invest considerably more time and effort in 'version 2' for which they will charge considerably more money. -- Pretentious or what? ___ 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: New Window App allows programming for iPhone!
Hi, Clearly, DragonFireSDK didn't get approval from Apple. If you want to use your app on your iPhone, you have to upload it to a server, where it will be compiled with XCode. The website says you can distribute your app as if it were created on a Mac, but it isn't clear to me whether you can actually sell your app in the iTunes store (an "App Store" is mentioned). If DragonFireSDK had received approval, then the workaround and vague statements on the website wouldn't be necessary. I admire their courage :-) -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker plugin for Runtime Revolution at http://qurl.tk/ce On 7 Jul 2010, at 15:38, charles61 wrote: I just came across a link to a new Windows program, DragonFireSDK, that allows Windows users to program for the iPhone without using Apple's SDK.
