[!AltME] Discussion about AltME

Windows doesn't work consistently, period, but that's just a force 
of nature ;-)

REBOL's clipboard interface can be inconsistent even outside of AltMe.

really? I've never had problems.
though in qtask, I discovered, that if you switch window and come 
back to altme, the copy may work the first time.


the focal support in R2 sucks.  its just weirdly implemented and 
it creates many bugs, especially since most faces share their para 
object by default.


I've added this to my style init  in many new styles:  [para: make 
para []]

All my private discussion with one user in this world that hasn't 
take place today dissappeared just now. Only today's messages left, 
while ten minutes ago, there were all messages.

Welcome to the freedom of being reborn. Forget your past and start 
fresh. I'm just a few weeks old now myself.

An Android group would be helpful. With the tagline "Development 
for Android with REBOL".

we can use hostkit temporarily, no? Or extensions?
or Porting R3

It would also be a good place to discuss using REBOL to generate 
apps in Java (often easier than writing it directly in my experience).

Does someone report the presentation bug of long url ?
Sorry my english explanation...
But let's show an exmple :


http://www.digicamsoft.com/cgi-bin/rebelBB.cgi?thread=%3C26Nov2010120307258032100%3E
The link is working...

But it is written correctly in blue with hyperlink only http://www.digicamsoft.com/cgi-bin/rebelBB.cgi?thread=%3C26Nov20101203072
and to the end of url it is in black...
But short URL, no problem 
http://www.rebol.com

The solution is known as well - add enter for each 40 chars of the 
URL length :)

why aren't all of the !REBOL3 groups web-public?  I think they are 
the best source of news for what is going on with R3 right now.
for example, the host-kit and extensions group are the best reference 
for someone wanting to get up to speed.  it has discussions and a 
few web links on further on-line resources which some of us have 
posted.

Good points, Max.

Given posts-to-date have been made on the assumption that they are 
not [web public], we'd need some general agreement from the contributors 
(or at least no vetos) before transitioning to web public.
So.....anyone object?
Oldes

[5206]
I agree with Maxim, that it should be public.

!REBOL3 Gui is now [web-public] -- may take an hour for the content 
to fully apear on REBOL.org.

I'll change the others in the next couple of days, unless there are 
any objections.

if I move my altme folder to another windows installation will it 
still work fine?  sorry for the nOOb question
Henrik

it should work, yes

do I need to copy any other files too?
I'm just amazed the program and data all fit in 52.5mb

copy: I don't think so, just the AltME directory. It's possible that 
you may have trouble starting it from the start menu, if you have 
not installed it first. I'm not sure.
also, you can run several instances simultaneously to the same world, 
so you are free to test it out first.

ah just need to drag a shortcut, should be easy enough.  This system 
is being formatted thats all and I didn't want to redownload all 
content again

ok, if you have two machines, you can easily try it out.

I am using altme from time to time from my USB stick (a bit slow, 
due probably to slow flash disk plus the way how altme relies on 
heavy file access, but still usable), and the only thing I need is 
to just copy it ...
I really like copy&run aproach ...
DKnell

[5219x2]
copied, working fine, although I had to go through the simple installation 
process on other pc.  the exe wouldn't just 'run'  - all data seems 
fine
me too, I am so used to having to try and export stuff and then import 
in a new install

Linux 1.2.25 altme in response to click on a URL in a post reports 
copy to clipboard.  Nix occurs on Gnome desktop.  Is this true for 
KDE ?
Kaj

It's the X11 clipboard hell. There are two of them, and AltME uses 
the one where you have to use middle mouse click to paste in X apps
Also, the order is critical. You have to empty the target area in 
the X app, then cut in AltME, then go back to the X app and use middle 
click to paste

F*** Altme; it's currently reloading all Groups (incidentaly old 
messages are lost) because of a power outage.
I HATE THIS.

Steeve, I'm a little confused, you say it "lost" something.  That 
should not be the case.

Just unstall AltME, and then reinstall it, it "should" grab a fresh 
copy of everything.


There is a bug that sometimes means you have to post something in 
a group to get it to kick start.  But in general, this should work.

It will take a few minutes to get everything, but you should be all 
fresh and happy once it does.

I'm connected on a restricted wifi spot. The connections on ports 
other than 80 are slow like Hell and indue lot of reco/deco (timeout 
frequently reached in Altme).

Due to that, reloading everything in altme is the worst experience.
indue = implies 
(don't ask)

Read it on the web
Maybe R can feed it into qtask ... ?

Reichart, a lot of messages here were actually lost (though some 
users may have complete backups), because of a server issue. The 
data was lost on the server, then synced empty datasets to all clients. 
Not sure if you were around much when that happened, so you may have 
missed it.
