Hi Kay, The problem is that the 6 month old copy represents 6 months of intense work trying to get around other bugs in RunRev. There's a lot of stuff in our new version that isn't in the old version, so I'm afraid that reverting to the older version, or even doing a comparison between the two is

Hi Arthur, I just checked on the oldest version I have installed (2.2), and not only does pasting a card work, but the dictionary entry for 'paste' in that version also says that cards can be pasted into the default stack. I searched bugzilla and came up with a report that looks relevant:

Hi, That might be the case. Now if I could get the clone this card command to behave, or at least act in a consistent manner, I could work around this. Thanks, -Art On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 4:48 AM, Bernard Devlin bdrun...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Arthur, I just checked on the oldest version I have

Hi Arthur, Hi, We have a very simple system, with three cards being templates, and one card being our 'intro' screen. We also have one group with its 'background' flag on, which is a floating 'table of contents' (which we call TOC) that resides on every screen. Look here : There

And just a bit more weirdness: If I go to cd 1, then do 'copy this cd' and then 'paste', it works fine, for that newly created card. If I go to my last cd, then do 'paste', it does not work, and the list will only contain one file, even if more have been made. However, the last cd and my cd 1

Hi, Well, this is getting fun. This morning, the following script results in RunRev just quitting. No errors, not 'crashing' (no crash log, no 'Application has unexpectedly quit'), no saving anything, RunRev just shuts itself off and dumps me back in the Finder. I am at an absolute loss as to

Hi Art, Now, that´s a nice one! cut this cd in a button indead instantly shuts down rev (at least on a mac). If you have not reported this to the quality centre yet, please do so. I think this is a severe defect. Please let me know the bug number. A workaround would be go last copy cd 1

Just to say it doesn't crash Rev for me. However it doesn't paste the card either. Looking at the dictionary I'm not sure if one should be able to 'paste' a card: Pastes the contents of the clipboard into the selection or insertion point. [...] Use the *paste* command to place objects, an

Hi Bernard, Paste, to paste a card, has worked fine in every version of RunRev I've ever seen, until I guess around 3.0. And like you, sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't crash. It definitely looks like a bug to me! Thanks, -Art On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 8:58 AM, Bernard Devlin
