Basic UI idiosyncrasies (bugs?) with 2.7.1 Win version

Greetings from a very warm and sunny west coast, normally referred to by people not living here as the wet coast I just had a chance to compare Mac vs. Win versions of 2.7.1 (side by each) and a number of basic UI idiosyncrasies (bugs?) really highlighted themselves on the Win side of

Hi Mark, It is easy enough to make a group with the objects you need. Then make another group and if you want to add an item to your list, copy group 1 into group 2. After correctly positioning the objects, you can obtain a table effect. You could also check out Shao Sean's impressive

CIFS protocol

I stumbled across a piece of software that utilizes the CIFS protocol in an URL such as cifs://someplace/somefolder/somefile. Does anyone know whether the Rev libURL can use this protocol? It sounds very good, and is described as an enhanced url-based file system protocol which originated from

Roger, I don't think libURL can access cifs resources but if you're using MacOS you can use applescript for that and if you're in windows you can shell() to that. Cheers andre On May 19, 2006, at 2:08 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I stumbled across a piece of software that utilizes the

It seems that every project I want to do has a scrolling group of individual subgroups with various controls, each subgroup representing one record in a database. Since my routines for copying and repositioning a single template group over and over are slow, this morning I was thinking of

The database features of Rev are very fast. Although I am not totally conversant of all that goes on inside RevDB itself (as I use Trevor's DB abstraction library to make RevDB easier to implement), or what code you saw that looped but I know that using that library I can get back the data as

Hi Josh, This won't work if you don't know whether you will need 100 or 1000 subroups. Also, if the lockloc of each objects in the template group is true, you don't need to position the objects separately. Just set the loc of the subgroup. Then again, if you need to display 1000s of
