Re: "Default" Menu in Mac OS X Standalone

Hey Klaus Thanks for the feedback. So what I ended up doing was creating a single menu and installing that. This magically allowed the MenuPick event handler to trap "About" being selected from the "default" menu. Only problem with this fix is it requires a menu to be installed that I don't really n...

"Default" Menu in Mac OS X Standalone

When running a standalone, there is a "default" menu [sits to the right of the Apple Menu] called the same as the Stack name. It contains a number of menu items including "About" and "Quit". How does one trap user selection of the "About" and "Quit" items? The standard "MenuPick" doesn't seem to hav...

Re: Datagrid Bug

Hi Alasdair, this is the way it works! :D Check "cached controls" for the grids and all is fine! When this is UNCHECKED, then the DG library will only copy that much template groups to the datagrid that are VISIBLE in the grid! If checked then ALL necessary groups are copied to the datagrid at once...

Datagrid Bug

I've found what I can only describe as a "bug" with Datagrids on Mac OS X. I am a reasonably competent RunRev coder, so I hope that this is just a case of me not reading a particular bit of documentation... however: In the enclosed stack there are two data grids - one shows 7 lines [of 30] and the o...

System Temperature

It's a custom-designed panel-PC unit inside a metal kiosk. Core temp was running at about 50 deg centigrade when at idle [and correctly vented] it runs at like 28 - 30. Think this is more an issue of Ubuntu and/or BIOS-level temp management rather than anything to do with RunRev. However, having had...

Issue Fixed

So this took ages, but basically we've worked out that the specific hardware platform we're authoring for gets very hot when graphics-intensive work takes place. This caused Ubuntu to freeze and/or reboot. Now additional fans are added, the systems are okay [but we still have a video issue with mPla...

Application INfo

Hi, The app allows people to view some image content. However, when it's on a main menu screen [no processes, no sockets, no idle loop, da nada] it does nothing and still quits. Looking around forums, it may be an Ubuntu issue with system overheating and nothing to do with RunRev, just we've not rea...

Random Freeze/Quit

We're seeing a random freeze/quit with a compiled application running under an up-to-date Ubuntu 8.04 system. The app isn't doing very much - just moving between cards which have photos placed on them. The app freezes, then goes to a beige screen [much like the generic Ubuntu desktop before a deskto...

Mark, you're a genius. So I tried the playStopped handler and it works perfectly! I'm coming to RunRev from HyperCard/SuperCard and so totally missed this message event, which has totally fixed my issues. That said, worth noting that under Linux [Ubuntu 8.04] and with the video player set to mPlayer...

Video Playback in Linux

We're running in Ubuntu 8.04 and getting pretty good results out of RR 2.9 - however, there's some odd things going on with the video playback. Our video clip player is set to mPlayer and we can load clips to play, however a number of the functions don't work. Most annoyingly, setting looping to tru...
