revWeb: Splash Screen Icon

2010-05-19 Thread David Bovill
When you set a splash screen icon in the standalone builder fo a revWeb exported stack - the icon must be copied somewhere to the revWeb plugin. Is there a way to refer to it from within a script in the revWeb stack - or do I have to copy it in twice so to speak?

I'm looking into an application which needs a highly scaleable back end database. One with low up front costs and yet won;t fall over if it suddenly takes off. I've noticed Jerry and others describing On-Rev in terms of cloud storage - but AFAIK it is a simple shared host, and there are no

I've not tried this but if you can fetch the same url as data with: - put url https://www.mysecuresite.com/movie/mymovie.movhttps://www.mysecuresite.com/movie/mymovie.mov And you are not able to set the filename - then it must be a bug? On 15 May 2010 20:02, Martin Koob

Nice OSX tip: creating an image with a desktop snapshot without scripting

2010-05-15 Thread David Bovill
Perhaps the coolest, most-secret hidden capture shortcut is Control-Command-Shift-3 (or 4), which, instead of creating a file on your desktop, copies the capture into your Clipboard memory, so you can paste it where you want. 1. Press Control-Command-Shift-3 (or 4) from any application 2.
