Sivakatirswami,
Thank you so much for your long answer.
The fact that you had the same problem makes me feel less alone ;-))
I got the problem with Leopard so I will have to live with it waiting
for the next update of it ;-) (I think I could reinstall my system and
disk but, currently, I don't feel up to do that ;-((
I think your idea of corrupt preferences could be the good one ! I
will try to search a bit in this way, even if it is unlikely I will
find a solution if you did'nt find one yourself.
Again, thanks a lot
Best regards from Grenoble
André

Andre: Vous avez mes "commiserations" as I had this exact same
problem (Mac OSX) up to a month ago and months before that. I could
not find a solution. I resorted to using Eric's marvelous little
Rev_colorpicker 1.1 to set colors. but used the control key to pick
up colors from the environment or photos I had open.. I had to
completely avoid the color picker in Rev. If I clicked once in the
inspector and clicked on the background or foreground color... I got
it the first time but the next time I was "dead in the water..." and
had to reboot.
I never solved the problem... the good news is: after upgrading to
Leopard the problem went away. But.. my upgrade to Leopard was
rocky... the auto migration of my old user failed... What this meant
was: the installation dropped a completely clean and brand new shiny
system on my hard drive and a new "empty user." It seemed to be a
nuisance at first, because I had to reinstall every single
application and move all my files from the old user to the new user,
enable root, and fix a lot of permissions by hand from the cmd line,
chown and chmod everything the way it should be for the new user.
In the end I was happy. I had dropped 1000's of old preferences and
applications support files that were no longer in use...and my
system was even more stable than before. Recently when we have any
difficulty with Adobe software, almost in every case it is simple a
matter of tossing out certain preferences or application support
files and letting Photoshop (or InDesign or Version Cue) rebuild
those and the problem goes away.
So: suspect: corrupt preferences or support files... this echos the
ancient days of Mac OS 6-7-8 when you had had to manually chase down
bogus extensions and preferences which used to solve most
problems... Unfortunately, I tried to find the exact files on Mac
system that might related to the color picker issue, but never
identified them... so, I just had to live with it until Leopard...
This doesn't help you much... but is just my "testimony" At the end
of the week Revolution is still probably one of the most stable apps
on my box... Adobe apps regularly "die" in mid-air as does Audacity,
Thunderbird and even BBEdit. Meanwhile Revolution is pretty rock
solid through everything.

Hi All,
Create a new stack
Choose « Colors and Patterns in the Inspector
Choose any item (backgroundColor for example) ; the Colors
palette shows up and it is possible to get a color for the stack
background ("OK" in the colors palette)
But then, if I try to use again « Colors and Patterns » in
Inspector, the Colors palette does not show up again and Rev
freezes ; (Clicking any where I get a beep).
Command + Maj + « . » unfreeze Rev, (not always) but it is
impossible to use again Colors and Patterns without freezing Rev
again.
To be able to get a new color, or a color for a new object in the
stack, I have to quit Rev and restart it :-((.
It is the first time I meet this issue (I used Colors and
Patterns a lot of times before without any problem).
At first, I thought it could be because I was using 2.9.0 but I
just tried with 2.8.1 and I get the same issue.
What am I doing wrong ? Is there some setting I would have change
inadvertently ?
Any help very much appreciated
Best regards from Grenoble
As you say that you encountered such an issue I can't reproduce
here with Rev 2.8.1 and 2.9, I would be inclined to think it's a
system issue.
Have you tried to use the color palette in Mail or TextEdit?
Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
Bonjour Éric
Merci for your answer. As you suggested, i just tried using the
color palette in Mail and TextEdit ; it works well in these two
app. ! I noticed yet that the color palette is different : in Rev
the color palette has to buttons at the bottom : cancel (Annuler
here) and OK ; when calling it in Mail or TextEdit, these two
buttons are not there.
Seems as if it was not the same color palette ??
Seems it"s only with Rev, I keep freezing each second time I click
on "Colors and Patterns" in the Inspector ; seems like an infinite
loop (In fact, I unfreeze with "command maj point" but then I have
to quit Rev and relaunch it to be able (once) to choose a color :-((
I am completely lost ; I don't know where to check !
Best regards from Grenoble
André
