You know how you can open the MSC, go to Activity Analysis, and the Analyze the current log file? And export it to text? I need to go through a similar process with some log files that were backed up, but without integrating them. In the MSC there is a Browse button, but it won’t let me choose

Download 4Dv16R5

I can’t find a place to download the 32-bit version of 4Dv16R5 for Windows. Does anyone know how to find older R-releases? Thanks. -- Cannon.Smith Synergy Farm Solutions Inc. Hill Spring, AB Canada 403-626-3236

Re: Image Madness

Hi Douglas, I’m not sure why that would be the case as it has worked for me. Perhaps a clue it that my code only handles the 4 common cases. Could your picture be one of the other four cases? Not sure. I can give you the site I found that helped me understand this (to the small degree that I

64 vs 32 Bit 4D

I’m currently using 4D v16r5, Mac and Windows. I’m using the 64-bit versions across the board. I may need to drop back to 32-bit for clients and standalone for a little while. I can’t seem to remember or find if there are any features (besides the network settings) that are 64-bit only. Does

Re: Picture Madness

Hi Douglas, You can do this in code. For example, here is some code I use: GET PICTURE METADATA($gPicture;TIFF orientation;$lOrientation) Case of : ($lOrientation=1) //Normal, no rotation needed : ($lOrientation=8) //Left 90˚, so need to rotate

Re: Collection.orderBy()

Thanks Jeff and Julio. Funny, I thought I’d double-checked case, but apparently not well enough! As soon as I changed it from “orderby” to “orderBy” it started working. BTW, I finally turned on object notation in my database and have started using object notation as well as collections

Re: Collection.orderBy()

Hi Jeff, Yeah, the ending quote must have been converted by my mail app. It’s a proper quote in code. I _think_ the asc should be inside the double quotes. But I’m just going by the examples found at: http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16R6/4D/16-R6/collectionorderBy.301-3690504.en.html. I don’t

Collection.orderBy()

I’m having trouble with the collection.orderBy() command working. Not sure if it is me or a bug. I’m using 4D v16r6, 64-bit, on macOS with this line of code: $cSortedFrames:=$oPage.frames.orderby("position.zIndex asc”) In the method editor everything colors correctly, including

Re: MSC Warnings

Yes, it runs fine. I’d just like to get rid of the warnings. I’m wondering if there was a time (v15?) when the object properties allowed setting a stylesheet on thermometers. Now that’s been fixed, but my structure still has a stylesheet attached to the thermometer, so it throws an error. The
