• Vanishing Act No 1
I've been working my way through saving preferences to file examples recently; all works fine in test built apps. I decided to open the preferences.txt file in TextEdit, and it's... blank! Open app again, input different data, quit app, open again, there's the new stuff, great, preferences.txt still shows nothing. I don't understand.......................!
• Vanishing Act No 2
For certain reasons, I decided to reinstall Revolution 2.9 a couple of weeks ago. I separated the Plugins folder from the Rev folder then used the uninstaller. I can't remember if I ditched anything to do with GLX2 from the plugins or not; either way, there's nothing to do with GLX2 there (I wanted to do a fresh install of GLX2 using GLX2 Installer.app).
So I was really surprised when I opened and re-licensed the fresh download of Revolution (2.9) and there was GLX2 already installed! I thought it was a plugin, so where is it hiding in the plugins folder if it is? The only thing I can think of is it's now built into Rev, but with Rev's built in Script Editor, I wouldn't have thought so....hmm, i've got it, it's all done with mirrors...
I'll be asking some proper scripting questions soon, honest!
PS Edit added later: I did a little experiment yesterday and removed the Plugins folder completely from the Rev Folder and GLX2 is still there when running Rev, which means it can't be a plugin...it's installer must have installed it into my System, and it recognised a fresh copy of Rev...neat.
