I'm really grateful to the Rev team for all the work they did not Rev version 2.2 to help with my If Monks project. However, I do think that fixes like this should be available for downloading.
First of all, the fixes below are so simple that I have no doubt that almost all of you have all already fixed your own copy of the Standalone Builder. And I don't keep up with this list.
:: Perhaps this has already been fixed in the version that you can download now. However, there is no indication on the web site of any version beyond Rev. 2.2. There is no indication of any bug fixes available for Rev 2.2.
Am I the only non-technical owner of Revolution? I'm an artist using Revolution to create a world. I barely know a global variable from a whole in the ground.
I was able to fix the Standalone builder only because the solution was obvious after I compared the scripts for the buttons that worked to the scripts of the two buttons that didn't work
I think fixes like this should be made available for folks like me to download. So I'm going to post these fixes as a way to make that point.
:: 1. There are 2 "choose" btns on this page. The problem is with the "Choose" btn for Document icon - the lower one on the page. Without this line you get an error message that says that it cannot not "open the icon file". That appears to be because it cannot find the file. Note the 17th line of the script
"choose" btn of group Windows of card Windows of stack revStandalone settings
on mouseUp if the platform is "Win32" then put "Icon Files" & cr & "*.ico" into tFilter else put empty into tFilter answer file "Select a file:" with filter tFilter if it is empty then exit mouseUp put it into tFile try get revGetIcoFile(tFile) catch tError if word 1 of tError = "Standalone:" then answer error word 2 to -1 of tError else throw tError end if exit to top end try
set the itemDel to "/" -- ******* add this line here !!!!
put item 1 to -2 of the fileName of stack (the cRevTargetStack of this stack)&"/" into tMainStackPath
put the number of chars of tMainStackPath into tChars
if char 1 to tChars of tFile = tMainStackPath then delete char 1 to tChars of tFile
put tFile into fld "documenticonFile"
send closeField to fld "documenticonFile"
end mouseUp
:: 2. This button does not save the path to the file in the field next to the button. It disappears as soon as you leave the Mac OS (Pre-OS X) page. I haven't bothered to figure out if this is only a cosmetic issue or not. But it certainly is unnerving. Note the last line of the script
"Choose" btn of group MacOS of card Mac OS" os stack revStandaloneSettings
on mouseUp
answer file "Select a file:"
if it is empty then
if fld "includeResources" is not empty then answer question "You did not select a file. Would you like to remove your previous choice?" with "No" or "Yes"
if it is "yes" then put empty into fld "includeResources"
exit mouseUp
end if
put it into tFilePath
if getResources(tFilePath) is empty then
answer error "No resources found in file." with "Cancel"
exit mouseUp
end if
put it into tFile
put item 1 to -2 of the fileName of stack (the cRevTargetStack of this stack) into tMainStackPath
put the number of chars of tMainStackPath into tChars
if char 1 to tChars of tFile = tMainStackPath then delete char 1 to tChars of tFile
put tFile into fld "includeResources"
send closeField to fld "includeResources" -- ******* add this line here !!!!
end mouseUp
