VXCMD MC 2.5A8 unexpectedly quits

2002-12-10 Thread Rodney Tamblyn
Hi Ruslan,

I've discovered a strange bug which I think is related to VXCMD.  
Sorry

In Metacard 2.5A8 (with latest build of VXCMD_macho installed) do the 
following:

create a new stack
create a card background and put two fields in it
stop editing background and paste some text into one of the fields (I 
pasted the readme text for MC 2.5)
switch to another application (eg TextEdit) and copy some text
switch back to Metacard
clone the card
select the text you previously put in field by clicking in field and 
typing cmd+a (select all)
Metacard quits unexpectedly.

You can probably reproduce with less steps than above but I've been 
able to repeat the error doing the above.  Note that switching to 
another application, changing the text in the clipboard, then switching 
back to Metacard is necessary to produce the error (ie change clipboard 
outside of MC)

If you remove the VXCMD_macho from the Metacard folder it doesn't 
exhibit this behavour.

Rodney

 Looks like the MC ftp-server is the dedicated target of DOS attacks :-(
 
 Could not reach that server since saturday, always Refused when
 attempting ...
 
 But i do not want to miss a single build ;-)
 
 Any help welcome.

Re: Can't delete card

2002-12-10 Thread Alain Farmer
 When I try to delete a card via a bg script, I am
 given an Error message (...). the error message:
 Object: stack locked, or object's script is
 executing Chunk: can't delete object
 Is there a rationale behind this?

Put the delete handler higher up in the hierarchy,
e.g. in the bg-script or in the stack-script. The
rationale is that you cannot delete the card that
contains the running handler. BTW it is still
running even though all of the statements have been
executed, because the last line has not executed yet,
e.g. the end handlerName

All you have to do is use the send command to call another handler 1- 2 
seconds later to do the delete card job for you.  You may need to have 
the handler being called by send put in the stack or some other 
location that is not where the card to be deleted is.

Actually you don't have to wait even that long; you can do a send in 100 ms
or less to have it work as well...
