World: r3wp

Is there a way to show a pop-requester with a time-out? I want to 
show if for X seconds and if nothing happens return a default action.

inform/timeout

And this allows (yes) (no) (cancel) as well? Didn't used it yet.

Has anyone tried 1.2.117 yet? I'm experiencing problems here getting 
it to load my user.r on startup, even though I've already tried it 
with different places and registry settings.

plis help update sld text-list  .

                                    (insert tail tmp join k " ")
 
                                    skip ]  ]

                       return tmp ]

sld does not move

Try it with the following changes:

button "load url" [

                  insert tail clear a/data parse-keywords read load f/text
                  a/sld/redrag a/lc / max 1 length? head a/lines 
                  show a 
                                  
              ]
              button "paste clipboard" [ 

                  insert tail clear a/data parse-keywords read clipboard:// show a
                  a/sld/redrag a/lc / max 1 length? head a/lines 
                  show a
              ]

Oh, sorry, remove the first "show a" in "paste clipboard" button's 
action block.

it thanks ChristianE now work .

re versions I'm trying to run Didec's delete-emails which requires 
View 1.2.8+. I downloaded the latest version of View and it shows 
up as 1.2.1? When I look at the downloads dir I see 1.2.8 circa june 
2005 but the more recent files are labeled version 1.2.1. Can someone 
explain why newer code has a lower version number?  Thanks

Actually its revview1255031a1 18 oct 2004 vs rebview1211931 6 jun 
2005

The latest View beta is 1.2.119, which was released yesterday (and 
possibly throws up some new bugs/issues for older programs.)
http://www.rebol.net/builds/031/rebview1211931.exe

Otherwise I can recommend you try View beta 1.2.48, which is not 
so new and therefore more likely to have all its issues understood 
by delete-emails:
http://www.rebol.net/builds/031/rebview1248031.exe

(we sat on View 1.2.48 for a while, so I expect, like myself, Dide 
used this version to test his programs for a while)

thanks Anton I will try that version 1.2.119 issues memory read error 
with delete_emails.

btw why is the latest beta a lower version number than 1.2.48?

higher: 119 > 48 (it's a tuple : a set of small integers, not a decimal)

Hi Michael,

Delete-emails works fine on 1.2.48, but not on 1.2.119. Some changes 
in POP protocol prevents it to work.

Last version of Delete-emails is 3.5.4 wich is available here

http://membres.lycos.fr/didec/rebsite/delete-emails/delete-emails.r
It works here on View 1.2.119.

It's not a final version, but is completely usable. What is not finish 
is the editor for the rules.

So, this rules are stored in the rules.txt file (this file appear 
after your run it one time) and should be edit manually.

I need to use com12 (on winXP) to access a Bluetooth serial port 
- anyway this can be done using REBOL?? (Other ports work fine on 
a different PC to Bluetooth) - but I need the flexibility as eventually 
I will be talking to 4 remote devices.   Any help out there???  thanks.........

Do you mean just getting to com12? Look at system/ports/serial. By 
default I think it's just [com1 com2].

Gregg, I added com12 to the system/ports/serial and it gets thrown 
out when I OPEN.  Will work if I used com7 on another PC - seems 
to only like a single digit for N in comN??

Hmmm, putting my "wayback" hat on...maybe try port12 (i.e. 'port 
instead of 'com)

I've never tried to go past com9 myself; I know that.

Thanks, I've tried some com port mapping software (maps com12 to 
com1) and then all works.  I can keep the REBOL com port as com1 
and change it in the mapping software.  A work around for now.  Tnks 
for the help

I built a little Rotation Zoomer here: http://www.hmkdesign.dk/rebol/rzoom.r

and please - could someone come with more attractive ViewTop skin? 
Maybe we could do a small contest, no? :-)

wrong group, sorry ...

Henrik - your zoomer is nice - I vote for it to be included in View 
Desktop test folder - nice example of AGG usage .... although REBOL 
is bitmap, or not? Once enlarged, I can see R and O letter with jaggies 
... :-)

pekr, yes, it's bitmap. I noticed someone asked about a performance 
measuring tool for AGG perspective mapping, but I didn't have much 
time, so it became a rotation zoomer.

New ViewTop look!  I vote for that.  I did not want to use it again 
in 1.3 -- but our focus was in other areas, not on improving that 
graphic. I did a few small things t make it look a bit better.

what happened to all that stuff about the desktop being open?

http://www.rebol.com/news3610.html<- that one

Carl: Maybe the skinning could be implemented?

Viewtop source has been open for a long time now, but the only one 
who did anything with it, AFAIK, was Volker.

He, not the only one.

I have (only) update the Desktop emailer to add attachment handling.
Works nice :-)

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=vt-emailer.r

Ah, I didn't know that Dide! Thanks.

But, yes ok, it's not a big work ;-)

would be nice to see some organized effort for View 1.4. using AGG, 
perhaps some desktop searching, fancier graphics, etc.

Yes, but I think it would be good to know "what's next from Carl 
... I will ask Carl in Carl only group ...

wow...you guys are pritty ahead... I must still let 1.3 do the work 
and you are already talking 1.4 ;-)

I think there have been a great effort in other areas... this could 
easily be applied to the desktop project

rebolinth: hehe, well, I think the desktop is a pretty obvious target, 
don't you think? :-) Carl mentions this above...

That's what I suggested. We have Cyphre gfx guru here, Chris knows 
something about mock-ups. Maybe the desktop does not need to necessarily 
look like a desktop? :-) There is too much of desktops everywhere 
:-)

I'm not sure what else it should be... AmigaDE is actually the same 
principle. They sell you a program which launches kind of a desktop 
where you can launch AmigaDE games and programs.

but I think there could be potential in a real, full desktop with 
its own window manager. I've been playing with that idea.
