Unless the computer is using a static ip address Revolution will not work properly out of the box. You mentioned auto detect in your first post. Is the what the computer is set to use?

What you are seeing most likely has to do with how the revXML external is sending the messages. There are a couple of ways to go about sending parameters to functions from externals and the method that revXML is using is evaluating the variable in the external that is being passed as a parameter to ...

I'm not aware of any way to cancel the xml tree parsing. You are basically looking for a call similar to revZipCancel that can be called from within a callback. I would file an enhancement request in the Quality Control Center. Who knows, maybe it will be trivial to implement and you will see it in ...

I've confirmed the bug when parsing a node with a Revolution property name. I filed a bug report on it: <http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=6512>. I haven't been able to replicate any message issues. It is possible that the debugger is getting in the way. I use the GLX2 debugger whic...

By the way, I was testing with Revolution 2.9 on OS X.

The parameter passed to revStartXmlNode is the value of the "address" function (ie: the host system) when the parameter should actually contain the string "Address". Thus, XML files containing Name, Address, Occupation, etc. don't work properly. I put in an "if pParm = address then pParm = "Address...

I can get "Sectors[34]" into theTarget but so far can only get "Sectors[34] out! For this technique to work you need to use the variable for the array key, not the array itself. repeat for each line theKey in the keys of Sectors repeat with w = 1 to 4 put item w of Sectors[theKey] into xvar put "bt...

Unforunately there isn't a syntax for using a var to reference another var. You would have to do what Jan sugested if you want to use flat vars. In cases like yours I like to use arrays. So I would convert SectorCount to an array if possible. Might look like this: repeat with i = 1 to 38 if SectorCo...

Revolution 2.7 and above allows you to store 3rd party plugins in the user documents folder. The folder is named "My Revolution Enterprise" (or "My Revolution Studio"). So on OS X look in ~/Documents/My Revolution Enterprise and on Windows look in My Documents/My Revolution Enterprise. You should fi...

I don't think it is a bug in QuickTime. The way QuickTime handles metadata changed in 7 (I think). There is a different API for setting some annotations now. The EnhancedQT external doesn't tap into the new API yet and I imagine the annotation tools you tried don't either.

2.7 added a the "My Revolution Enterprise|Studio" folder to the Documents folder. In this folder you can store plugin, externals, etc. that are shared by all installations of Revolution >= 2.7. Previous to 2.7 plugins and externals were installed alongside the application. The External Creator menti...

I had a database error that was popping up (seemingly) randomly on OS X when the application launched. I could not track the issue down for weeks. I looked at permissions, file paths, etc. but without luck. I finally tracked it down to some code being executed when the "rapp" AppleEvent was being se...

Ah, I figured that since the SQLite driver could not connect to the database that revExecuteSQL was being called with an invalid databaseID parameter which does cause an error in the IDE. Try this in a button script: on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo revexecuteSQL 300, "SELECT * FROM table" end mouseUp An erro...

The Query Builder just fails to connect and doesn't display any error dialogs. I'm not sure what kind of error trapping Rev is using under the hood however. The error that Andy posted doesn't make much sense in and of itself, especially since the same code appears to work for most users. Andy may ha...

Could it have anything to do with the special characters in the path name? I noticed in the path that Jose's has what looks like a "smart apostrophe". Perhaps the sqlite driver is choking on that? '/Users/joselozano/Jose's Applications/PDT.app/Contents/MacOS/PDT' I just did a quick test by creating ...
