Update:

Hi Dixie,

thank you for the reply. Why do I have this behaviour? I have MacOS 10.6.3 , MacBook Pro and 4.5 dp3. Nearly the same config as you...

Excuse me, are you sure that, when you switch to an empty space e.g. 3 with running RevIDE on space 1 the Toolbox and the menupane are not visible on ...

Hello,

I have a question regarding the MacOS specific feature called "Spaces".

Every time the Revolution IDE is running, the Toolbox and the Menupane of the RevIDE is visible on every Workspace created by Spaces. This is not as comfortable as it should be.

Is there a way to avoid this behavior ...

@Bernd:

I tried your first solution code and as I expected there is the same odd behaviour that I described: the filename field is not filled with the suggested filename.

Only if a file with this name exists in the folder, the field is filled with this name.

Strange ...

I didn't try the other ...

Yes, under MacOS the System provided Ask Dialog works as expected.

But could you try the revolution provede one ( via set the systemFileSelector to false to ask revolution to use it own )?

At least for me this doesn't work as expected ( see above)

It seems that the revolution provided dialog is generaly not able to switch to the right directory and to provide only the filename without the path in the correct field: I just tried it under MacOS and it showed the same behaviour as described above!

So it seems that at least the revolution ...

Thanks Bernd,

I'll give it a try next week when i`m back at my Linux Box.

But I think it should work with the shown scripts as pathes in linux are easier and quite simple under linux. With MacOS it looks quite different as there are language specific translations of parts of the path. But I'll see ...

Hi all,

I have a strange behaviour when calling the ask file dialog:

I assume this code should open the window, show the files in the dir "/home/hm/ and propose the filename "Untiteled.txt" as default in the file field :

ask file "Save to:" with "/home/hm/Untitled.txt"

but:

The filename ...

Hi Mark

I thougt the same, but the documentation says that

at least revGoURL is depreciated since 2.9, one should use l aunch url instead, this item links to l aunch document that should open a doc with the appropriate application,

Examples:
launch document "/myProjects/myRevolutionProject ...

Solved,

you have to rewrite the Revolution Documentation App for proper operation within Linux:

change to or whatever you want to use.

Scary that the helpertools do not work proper on the Platform you (me) have licensed ...

Hello all,

I'm not sure if this is the best fiiting topic, but never the less, does anybody has an idea how the Revolution IDE (Linux version) can be configured to use a specific PDF viewer to show the downloaded PDF from within the help-app ?

The background is that on some systems I tried it ...

starting as root works, starting as normal user fails ...

I think this is not the right behaviour. I remember I was able to start it as normal user without sudoing.

Does revolution has an special requirements concerning ACL or permissions of some devices so that the user has to be member of any ...

just a little bit to fast...

the licensing dialog appeared, i filled it out and that was the last that worked....

It asks again for reinstallation (under KDE) or simply no wondow appears (Gnome) -- not so good.

Has anybody an idea that somethin further than the listed requirement are necessary to ...

I just tried to start revolution under gnome and this works....

stupid silly thing....

Helmut Müller

PS does anybody has an idea why it stoped working under KDE ?

Thank you, Helmut

hallo andy,

thank you for your attempt to help. I think the version of my installation is not relevant, because it was up and running on this machine. Never the less, I use kubuntu 8.04 with kde 4.0.4.

As I saied it worked and i think the prob is not my system. In the terminal window revolution ...
