OT: Mac vs Win partisanship is unnecessary
Stephen wrote: I find this cry for a Windows version amusing This is payback time I find an OS-driven personality/identity amusing. I am not anti-Flash, anti-QuickTime, anti-HTML5, anti-Windows, or anti-Mac. If Flash or Windows irritate someone, that's fine. I subscribe to the old Think Different philosophy, not one that encourages being the same. If what's good for the goose applies...why is bashing Mac off limits but we have gloating directed at Windows users? Come on people, these are two operating systems (and companies) that drive tools to help us in life and business, hopefully not two religions or two systems that should drive us to follow them. Each has its strengths. Each has its problems. Neither deserves to be a master, because people should use tools and not the other way around. Mac lovers, more power to you! Windows or Linux users--the same sentiment exactly, enjoy the OS you prefer. I signed up with Rodeo and am looking forward to using it. However, a Windows or web editor would be great too. If I need to always edit on Mac, so be it, but using one technology or another I'm sure I will be writing apps for iPhone or iPad from Windows eventually if I so desire. (If it's an IDE written in Flash, that's fine too!) By the same token I like to be able to develop for other devices on the Mac if that comes in handy. That's the great thing about progress--more possibilities, not fewer. And the Rodeo team has certainly been helpful and nice when fielding OS and device questions. As Jerry said, the OS boundaries that force people to choose may be an illusion. (At least in some situations.) RunRev has surely erased a lot of boundaries and it looks like Rodeo is off to a good start in that area too! Let's enjoy that freedom and not force OS choices. To each his own OS. Let the goose and the gander each observe the same guidelines of discussion. Hopefully these comments will be taken in the positive spirit with which they are offered. Okay, I'll shut up now and get back to coding!

Re: [OT-Rodeo] Last minute call to get onboard with pre-release conditions!
It's a late hour for questions. :-) But how about the iPhone? I understand focus is on the iPad right now. But will it, or won't it, if that's possible to say?

Re: more crashes with Rev 3.5 and above?
Since moving beyond 3.0, his customers seem to be experiencing a lot more app unexpectedly quit crashes. I've had some crashes and lock-ups with Rev 4.0 Mac, not sure what all patterns. (Rev 4.0 Win is rock-solid.) If you have problems for that standalone you might go back to the 3.0 or 3.5 engine temporarily, then move back up at the next Rev update. File format compatibility between versions is great, isn't it!

Re: [ANN] MS Word Import Mac/Win: WordLib 1.3
Do you also have a lib that does it the other way round? Write in a Text field and export as an office document of my choice? Thanks Malte. Yes, I have another library called WordOut, currently in beta and coming soon, which exports text from a field with a single command.

Re: [ANN] MS Word Import Mac/Win: WordLib 1.3
When saving an app that uses WordLib as a standalone, is there a requirement to distribute the library as a support file or will it automatically be included in the executable file? Thanks! It won't be automatically included by the standalone maker, but it is easy to distribute with your application and there is example code for that. Let me know if you need any help.

Re: [ANN] MS Word Import Mac/Win: WordLib 1.3
Maybe you will sell both in a bundle for a special price? ;-) Matthias Good idea, however, I would like to reward early adopters with the best deal. So here's my special: anyone who orders WordLib before the release of WordOut will get a $20 coupon for WordOut. When WordOut is released, this offer ends, so order now for the best price. :-) Curry -- WordLib: Import MS Word and OpenOffice documents http://curryk.com/wordlib.html Need custom software development or RunRev help? http://curryk.com/consulting/ ___ 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] MS Word Import Mac/Win: WordLib 1.3
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.) -- WordLib: Import MS Word and OpenOffice documents http://curryk.com/wordlib.html Need custom software development or RunRev help? http://curryk.com/consulting/ ___ 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
MS Word document export
Howdy RunRevvers, I'm cooking up a library to export Revolution text fields to MS Word and Open Office documents. There will be Excel spreadsheet support too. If you would like to try a beta of the Word export in a few days, let me know off-list and mention whether you use Windows and/or Mac.

Re: See us on MacWorld and Macnn
The second article kept referring to the product as Revolution - a very bad thing. Let me be my usual blunt self: this product can not be taken seriously with the name Revolution! I have to say that I've always liked the name Revolution. It's unique. I always verbally and mentally call the product Revolution. I search the web for runrev because that's the easiest way that returns relevant results, and also use RunRev as an abbreviation for the company in writing. I abbreviate the product as Rev when writing it down repeatedly, such as in an e-mail. For me, these are simply different variations adapted for different uses; searching for runrev or writing about Rev doesn't mean I don't like Revolution. So I don't see anything wrong with using either Revolution or RunRev. Then again, I'm not swayed much by social trends. I just like what I like. If using one term over another increases revenue then so be it. Anyway, congrats Heather and Rev team on the press coverage!

Thanks, Revolution!
The new pricing system is an exciting development. I just wanted to pipe up and say thanks for that one. I haven't tried 3.0 yet, but I've used tools very similar to the new script editor debugging system as depicted in the info page, and I think that's a real step forward too.

Re: Undos (vs. text alignment) [was: Script Editor]
I wonder how one would implement unlimited undos in Runtime Revolution? I would be happy to provide an unlimited undo add-on that works anywhere--regular fields or script editor. I've already committed myself to a text alignment add-on which will allow users to align paragraphs of text freely, left/right/center, just like in a word processor. I can do both projects if there is also demand for an undo solution, but I want to ask the Rev community: which is needed more urgently? Which should I prioritize? I would love to hear from some of you to judge interest.
