World: r3wp

well, so basically you are expecting altme to distinguish particular 
suffixes as .bat, .pif, .exe .cmd and prevent their direct execution?

yes, something like that. I think it's pretty standard policy to 
do that. What's this notorious single-click policy to run things 
in Rebol anyway? The viewtop does it too. :-)

you can run it by single click in altme? That is not probably good 
:-)

yes, that's what I'm complaining about :-)

then I do understand your concern :-)

Well with rebol at least you have some security. But I always preferred 
double-click to run an application.

Oh I see what you mean - single-click from AltME executes the .bat 
file.

I think it's part of Reichart's new philosophy to simplify everything 
to the lowest common denominator, which I'm not entirely sold on.

me neither

i guess he simply uses an os-call to launch the right app. Where 
the app is choosen by the os, based on filetype. And a *.bat runs..

I think Carl wrote this stuff ...

I would log it as a bug

I've just installed ubuntu on my desktop (15" LCD screen). The first 
application I've installed is AltME.

The text size in minute even with the large font selected. Any hints?

in -> is

is it a font issue?

I remember RT has document it somewhere that there are some libraries 
required to run REBOL/View on Linux

I don't know - the rest of the dekstop is fine - does Rebol require 
special fonts.

.. dekstop -> desktop

http://www.rebol.net/builds/lib-dep.html

how about the above link?

I saw 'freetype' as a requirement

It runs okay but the text is so small I can hardly read it. The large 
text seems to be about the same size as the small text on Windows 
(which is too small for us MAc users ;-) )

YEah, this is an ongoing problem, we need a wiki for this.

the problem is related to X-windows DPI settings, which seems to 
change on a whim with varying window managers and distributions.

I had to reconnect to this world again to get the latest updates. 
However, the last group I was sitting in was !RebGUI. After the update, 
it moved to the top like it should, because there was new posts in 
it, but it was not painted red and it was not selected after logging 
in, so it must have been tagged as read somehow.

I read it!

Which key combination do you use to copy text in AltME on Linux (Ubuntu) 
?

As in windows. But kde-programms will not see it, gnome-apps do.

Thanks, Volker. Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V work fine!! I think I must have 
been pressing Alt-C and Alt-V when I tried before (to used to Cmd-C 
& Cmd-V on my Mac!!).


I notice that right-click isn't supported. Scrolling seems better 
than under Windows though.

Just reinstalled system copied Altme folder to new location and I'm 
hapy to see, that Altme is one of these easy to move applications:-)

Anyone know how many world servers AltMe World servers will communicate 
while polling for changes?  I am just running a demo of a packet 
sniffer package  PRTG Packet Grapher and I get about 6-12 IP addresses 
connecting regularly with my computer.  The IP addresses all seem 
to end in either .69 or .223.

This should not be related with Altme at least I have have only one 
regular Altme connection (to www.rebol.net:5400) But I'm not running 
any world. If you have a world, you probably will see people connected 
to your world (altme) server

And it's not important how the IP ends, but how starts:-)

I agree with the starting part, but thought that they had servers 
located in more than one location.  The coincidence with the vast 
majority ending in the same digits has me wondering if the servers 
are not related to eachother.

Yes, I have a world running but it is just for personal chat between 
family and doesn't get used very often.

There are regular bursts of transfers as seen by the packet graphing 
utility, so that leads me to believe it is simply AltME connecting... 
but it sure would be nice to know.

This is a rather annoying bug with 1.2.8 ... not sure if it were 
present before .. but if you have something in the clipboard, then 
right click no longer copies anything to the clipboard.

And worse .. it's intermittent!

I see that too, but I thought it had something to do with Synergy, 
because I see it in other apps too.

It works here, with and without synergy (if we mean the same program, 
the tcp/ip km switch to use the same mouse and keyboard for two computers).
WinXP

Yes, I've noticed something has changed there. (Probably should check 
the AltME changes log for a different behaviour.)

(Mm.. not much written in the changelog.)

I'm finding the AltME under LInux seems to sync much better than 
AltME under Windows. By checking the web public discussions at rebol.net, 
I found that  some topics hadn't synced. I dotted but no effect. 
So I switched to Linux  where AltME synced everything.

It may be that it was just a different installation that did it ..

Why is file share disabled in this world?

I would like to share a slideshow.

I think it had something to do with that the world was created before 
filesharing was available

No, just was not turned on here.

Any plan to turn file sharing on?

is it rebol on os x or altme, pasting code into altme doesn't keep 
newlines and tabs, if it is an altme issue then a fix would be very 
welcome 8)

Louis:  This is not my world, you would have to ask Carl.

Will, pasted from what?  That is the key.  Please look at the contents 
of your paste in a hex editor, and tell me if it has CR, LF, LF + 
CR,. or CR + LF.
