pulldown menu button doesn't match OSX or tool palette

Hi, There is a standard Aqua pulldown menu button on the Rev tool palette, but when I try to place this button on a stack it changes into a non-Aqua Windows-style rectangle button (lacking even a pull-down arrow). The Aqua option button matches the tool palette but the pulldown doesn't. I am making ...

Unable to checkmark an OPTION menu menuitem on Mac OSX

I can add a checkmark or other mark to pull down menus but not option menus. The documentation seems to suggest that I should be able to do this. It cites a different option menu exception for Windows, but none for Mac OSX. Is this a bug, an exception not mentioned in the documentation, or am I doin...

Create Alias not working (Mac OSX 10.4.10)

It seems that the "Create Alias" command is not functioning properly (Rev Studio 2.8.1 running on Mac OSX 10.4.10). Instead of an alias file, it produces an empty, blank document that has no apparent link to the original file. I recall that this used to work but it has been quite some time nice I ne...

Thanks

Thanks to everyone for the quick and helpful replies to my query. I'm not sure I am up to the task (or if the application I am building is really worth the effort) but this is very useful info to start with.

another questioin: getting Mac application icons

Hello again, Does anyone know how to capture an application's icon as an image in a Rev stack, ideally through drag and drop or conversely through answer file/folder? I can handle the drag & drop or answer functions to identify the application, but how might I trigger an import of its application ei...

geometry question (how to lock proportions)

Hello. I have been using RR for some time but I am making my first stack that requires scaling of interface objects when the stack is resized. Revs solution seems great only I wan objects (images) and the stack itself to retain proportions as they change size. I can't find any means of locking the p...

Can I determine if another application is running?

Hi, For a little app launching utility I am building in Runrev, it would be useful if I could determine if an application, such as Apple Mail, is running or not. Is there a way to do this in Rev? The OpenProcesses only seems to return processes opened by Rev, not applications launched in the Finder....
