I love how unconnected discussions come together! I just downloaded
stackrunner and it seems to solve all my issues regarding standalone
startup banners/using test files versus live files. I point it to
my application .rev file and it runs it as if it were a standalone,
opening the live application database instead of the test one, but
with no banner of any sort. The only downside is that the OSX
menubar item for the aplication says StackRunner instead of my
application's name.
So while I'm a happy camper,
really? I am afraid that at present I feel that RunRev are camping
things up a bit; so who is camper
than whom can be the next direction this discussion takes.
Sounds like we need to establish a scale of camp-ness
That reminds me of one of my favourite bits in the Bible; where Jezebel
"does" her boyfriend
with a tent peg.
this seems to completely circumvent Revoution's plan to strongly
discourage commercial distribution of LiveCode Personal applications
via the startup banner or am I missing something?
Frankly, distributing a stack with a stackrunner as a commercial
package doesn't look that good;
especially as anybody who can get their paws (sweaty or otherwise) on
a copy of RR/LC can merrily
start mucking around with your stack.
Agree with that. That's one of the reasons I've never liked using a
secondary stack file as a solution to the problem of not being able to
store data in a standalone.
I much prefer to store data in some sort of text file, even at the risk
of it becoming orphaned.
Naughty types can build themselves a version of Metacard and see what
happens when they
build standalones with that; although experience has taught me that it
is almost more trouble
than it is worth.
I am sticking with RR 4.0 until I can actually make some money with my
Devawriter so that I can
buy something with a bit more "oomph" than the $99 version; or RunRev
have changed their
marketing model as they seem to on an annual basis.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite the "Kind regards" [semantically empty if ever it was] it should
be clear by now that
RunRev are more interested in the whales and the sharks than bottom
feeders and crustaceans
like myself. The claims to 'care' about the small men and women who use
RR/LC on an everyday
basis do sound increasingly hollow; the removal of RevMedia meant much
much more than all the
subsequent protestations. Now if RunRev see their target as the
"biggies" why don't they just say
so? rather than saying one thing that is rather different from what
their marketing model says.
It is this thing that annoys me.
