Gabriele 22-Nov-2007 [2643] | actually, it's msttcorefonts. sorry. |
Alan 22-Nov-2007 [2644] | thanks ! forgot that I had installed the windows fonts on Mandriva so why it worked with it. Old age :) |
Henrik 26-Nov-2007 [2645] | hmm... my code snippet check list is empty. did something happen? |
Sunanda 26-Nov-2007 [2646] | I see 10 code snippets, so possibly you have fallen victim to one of the several Altme resync problems. As far as I know, the only way to recover is: 1. exit Altme 2. delete the worlds/rebol3 folder (make sure you remember your password first) (actually, safer to rename the folder to, say, OLD-rebol3) 3. restart Altme and connect to REBOL3. Expect it to take a while as it reyncs the whole world -- 25 meg or so of stuff. |
Graham 29-Nov-2007 [2647] | Hope this 1.2.15 fixes the password problem |
Graham 4-Dec-2007 [2648] | Now that Reichart is no longer none, perhaps we can ask if this password problem can be fixed??? |
Reichart 4-Dec-2007 [2649] | Did you submit the password problem to the Feedback page on SafeWorlds? |
Graham 4-Dec-2007 [2650] | nope... maybe Sunanda did... he experienced it first. |
Reichart 4-Dec-2007 [2651] | Please do...thanks... |
Graham 4-Dec-2007 [2652] | done. |
Graham 6-Dec-2007 [2653] | Sunanda reports that the bug is present for him still .. though I have not seen it in the last day. |
Reichart 7-Dec-2007 [2654] | Yes, we are working on another update. It is the end of the year, and developement is about to slow down again, but the bug is ranked high... |
[unknown: 5] 20-Dec-2007 [2655] | Will there be any capability to go back and edit an already submitted post in the future. I would love to use ALTME for some Bible discussion but it would have to allow me to go back and edit past postings and have some better formatting features for the layout of the posts such a font size, font type, color, spacing, etc.. Any likelihood of that coming soon. |
Henrik 20-Dec-2007 [2656] | the only way to do that is to export it as HTML and edit the HTML file |
Pekr 20-Dec-2007 [2657] | How does AltME launch web browser? I have my browser defaulted to FF, but it always starts IE. Not that it would be much of a problem, but IE proxy setting is set by our Active Directory rule with each log-in, so at home I have to constantly change the proxy setting each time I get home, in order to be able to start links directly from AltME .... |
Graham 20-Dec-2007 [2658] | Altme uses FF for me. |
Reichart 20-Dec-2007 [2659] | Check what you have associated with your HTM and HTML file types... |
Pekr 20-Dec-2007 [2660x2] | it is FF. I am no Vista. With my former notebook, I had one problem, where FF was chosen, but Vista still kept IE and it could not be deselected (and I am local admin). With my recent notebook, I simply have FF registered .... |
I have registered 10 of 10 possible things for FF, but it still does not work. I noticed there are still 3 entries registered with IE, one of them being .url, but it can't be deselected (is greyed), even if I am admin. I really don't like Vista, it is complete shit. To display file associations it took 20 secs here on 2GB RAM, Core Duo machine ... | |
Chris 20-Dec-2007 [2662] | Paul, you could always write a script that manipulates the server files. R: would there be a way to push the altered data to clients? |
Reichart 20-Dec-2007 [2663] | This really should not be a problem in the first place...this really seems like some IE thing. Pekr, what happens if you save an HTM or HTML file, and double click on it? |
Edgar 21-Dec-2007 [2664x3] | I just figured how to select the default browser for AltME in Vista. |

Make sure you have AltME closed when you change it or close it then open it after changing it. I used "Set program access and computer defaults" and selected custom then picked Firefox as my default browser. | |
Pekr 21-Dec-2007 [2667x4] | Reichart - I am kind of experience user, don't worry. When I click on .html or .htm (or any other form), FF gets started. Vista usese a bit different form of registration imo. It e.g. states, that my FF has 9 from 10 possible registrations, so I added even another one. However, I might know, what AltME is using. I checked on what is still registered with IE, and it is - .mht, .mhtml, .url. So my suspicion is, that what AltME or OS does, is that it uses .url. When I rename .html file to .url, it gets IE icon. I will have to wait for my folks to return, because I don't know, why the .url option is greyed in IE section - maybe some Active Directory policy rule, dunno ... |
Hmm, found .url extension separately, changed to be started by FF, but AltME still opens IE here ... | |
Will make some coffee and restart notebook, maybe it helps ... | |
still no luck. Now even .url is registered to FF, checked via filesystem, yet AltME still opens IE. | |
Edgar 21-Dec-2007 [2671x2] | Pekr, just use the link for the instructions that I posted. |
It should work. | |
Pekr 21-Dec-2007 [2673x3] | Edgar, gee, can't you read? What do you think I was doing? |
now I reregistered even .mht and .mhtml with FF .... still no luck | |
FF *is* my default browser, and it works in whole OS ... except the altme ... | |
Edgar 21-Dec-2007 [2676] | I guess we must be seeing different things. I see three choices, first one is to choose the default programs, second is is detailed to specific extension and protocol, then the third one that has one of the choice is custom. I choose the custom and select the default browser as FF. In this option, you can even disable IE. I change the setting in the third option. |
Pekr 21-Dec-2007 [2677x3] | Custom mode is default. |
I have FF registered as default. | |
All 9 from 9 options for FF are checked. From filesystem, doubleclicking .html opens FF. | |
Edgar 21-Dec-2007 [2680] | I meant clicking custom gives you more choices. |
Pekr 21-Dec-2007 [2681] | I have also edited file extensions for .url, .mhtml, .mhtm, and registered those with FF too ... still no luck from AltME :-) What function does AltME use? Just REBOL's 'browse? |
Edgar 21-Dec-2007 [2682] | We must be seeing something different. I get the option for changing the different extension if I pick the second option. I think I will post an image later. I am not in my Vista computer at this time. |
Pekr 21-Dec-2007 [2683] | OK, done, thanks a lot! I never saw clicking radio button brings you to new screen, gee, what is that? :-) |
Edgar 21-Dec-2007 [2684] | Ok good you found it. Make sure you close AltMe then open it again for it to work. |
Pekr 21-Dec-2007 [2685] | I clicked Custom, then FireFox - there are three options in there - Use recent browser, IE, FF .... even if FF is "default browser" for my OS, I had to specifically click it here, and now AltME opens FF finally! Strange thing is, that when I now return back to the same menu, once again Use recent browser is selected, but FF is now used .... |
Edgar 21-Dec-2007 [2686x2] | Yep, I see that too. Did I mentioned I hate Vista? |
If my work is not in computer developments, I would replace it with XP already. | |
Pekr 21-Dec-2007 [2688x2] | I hate Vista too! There are two camps of users - those who can see advantages (I can see them too, in security mainly), and those who can see it as waste of 1.5 billion of USD. I am part of the latter camp - absolutly useless effort imo .... |
I have no better experience, just worse one. I would like to meet the idiot, who designed user access to network layer. There is so many intermediate screens it is not funny anymore. | |
Reichart 21-Dec-2007 [2690] | - I am kind of experience user, don't worry. I don't worry. However, what I do is treat all people and problems the same way, which is not to make any assumptions. Sadly this method often conflicts with ego. Edgar, gee, can't you read? Interesting to read someone else trying to help you, you snapping back, and then realizing that it was in fact you who was not reading… As I said, I try to not make any assumptions. Perhaps some energy spent on appreciated those trying to help you would go a long way… |
Pekr 21-Dec-2007 [2691x2] | Reichart - ego or not, I am more than experienced user, if not more, or I would not be where I am. (Well, otoh even chief of IT could be moron, so maybe you are right :-) |
Edgaer pointed me two times to the same link. Reading thru all the text twice, it does not answer any question. The link rather stupidly suggests to users, that you have to be admin etc etc. and more or less describes, how to change default program. Did that, xy times. Did that for each one possible file suffix. Once again - file system worked all fine, it is just AltME, having problems. | |
