When Dreamcard and the Player came out, I tried using them for a while, but quickly ran into some problems (Bugzilla 2117, 2138, 2139, 2140, 2142) which were all survivable (in fact - a couple of them are entered as enhancements because it wasn't clear to me whether they were real bugs or just possible improvements). When I ran into 2294, I decided to (temporarily) give up on using Dreamcard Player - fortunately I still have a valid 2.2.1 Express license, so can build standalones for my users (though some of them would prefer the much smaller downloads we'd get if we could use DC Player).Two possibilities :
1. Make sure the Player is not in "secure" mode (which prevents it from writing files or accessing the network).
[ Click on the Rev icon at top right, and set the checkbox for "Run in non-secure mode" ]
2. There is a bug (Bugzilla 2294) by which stacks run in Dreamcard Player do not have a "home" directory, so expressions such as
the filename of this stack
do not produce the correct answer.
But triggered by Jim's question, I went back for another look. In less than 30 minutes, I found more problems (2593, 2594, 2595, 2596 and 2597).
Is anyone actually using Dreamcard Player ?
How extensively ?
Is there anything about your user base that makes them able to use it without running into problems (or is it something about me that makes me unlucky :-) ?
Am I just too picky ?
