World: r3wp

REBOL /View (or AltMe)  just crashed on me..when I do the following 
on WinXP.

1. My Computer->Properties
2. Advanced tab->Performance

3. Change from "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer" to 
"Adjust for best performance'

4. Apply..... WinXP 'pops' up a dialog saying /View has crashed and 
ask for information to be sent over to MS.

Can someone try the above and see if it duplicates?

NOTE: I have AltMe running when I did that.

View will crash anytime you change major window settings eg. screen 
resolution.

I think it might be related to resolution agjustment/change. It is 
so long standing bug, that I wonder if it is even in RAMBO. It should 
be definitely fixed ...

yes great fun when switching from two monitors to one

duplicated for me

There's no reason to go into hibernate, too, ... view will crash 
on wake ap anyways ...

not under linux.. :-)

I recall that frimly ;-)

Aaahh, yes ... on the other hand, so far I haven't been able to make 
my laptop go into hibernate mode under linux - it's stalemate I guess 
;-)

mmm, i use hibernate under windows, and i don't remember any view 
crashes.

Same here. I use hibernate every day and it never causes View to 
crash on my machine.

I have submitted a feedback to 'AltMe'... and doing a search on RAMBO 
to see if there is an entry for this as well.

I experienced View crashes with hibernate on Windows. But it seems 
to me if the window is minimized before hibernate it's more stable.

Hibernate on Windows causes unexpected behavior, but no crashes for 
me

The View crash when system resolution changes under Windows is well 
known bug. I guess Rebol is not properly handling the WM_DISPLAYCHANGE 
event of WinOS.

IMO View OS wrapper should be strenghtened in general. It would not 
hurt to properly detect two monitors or TV output, if possible. I 
can see that MANY apps get it incorrectly, e.g. they simply call 
center-screen or such a function, and half of the dialog box is on 
one string, the other half is on second one :-)

Is anyone else using 1.2.9 and seeing their Send mode (enter or ctrl+s) 
stuck, so you can't change it? I can click the button, but it won't 
chagne the setting.

Yes same here Gregg

I got 1.2.9

DOH! It's me. I was clicking the wrong button. It's the pencel, not 
the button next to the text.

I only have to change it when I use a new world, so I always forget 
that. I think I've mentioned before that it's a poor UI layout for 
that.

Ah same here.  I thought it was that other one as well.

Partly because the status is so far away from where your context 
is.

At least it wasn't just me that was confused. :-) Thanks Paul.

Yep I was thinking the same thing

altme 1.1.29 linux crashes during startup when the linux sound-daemon 
is already occupied by another application and altme uses sound..occeured 
using the oss sound daemon..

addon: and altme is backgrouned by starting like this "altme &"

tried using Alsa instead ? on my Mandriva 2007 Altme install I don't 
have the sound prefs running so not really sure if it works

Is possible to start an altme world server  from a non-graphical 
enviroment  like the linux shell

??

Sorry if is OT, I was unable to  found the answer inside the AltME 
home page...

I believe you can.

Alberto: No not without  their server version.

That's the one I was referring to.

I suspected that... Anyway thanks to Tomc and Graham.

(in need altme to correct my speeling, reichart are you listening)

he's probably going to tell you that you should request it via feedback 
;)

Yup...

Formal channels ensure everything is logged.

Is there an AltME preference setting for fonts? I have the same font 
issue w/altme on Linux that I described on the mailing list, but 
no convenient altme/user.r file to fiddle with

Sadly no, this is a deep issue with Rebol/Linux/Fonts

Ah well, that's what I was expecting. Sticking with altme in VMWare 
and the Viewtop on Linux for now.

Are the problems with scrolling on Windows a Rebol/View problem or 
an AltME problem? 

I don't seem to get the problem on Linux.

Is it possible to start AltMe so that it will start a preset world?

Is it possible configure AltMe so that private groups are visible 
only to group members ? Currently they a visible for all.

Is it possible to start AltMe so that it will start a preset world?
 -yes: "C:\Program Files\altme\altme.exe" -w "Rebol3"

Is it possible configure AltMe so that private groups are visible 
only to group members ?
 private groups *are* visible only to group members
