World: r3wp

(and my message limit is 500)

there are times when I see the "Internet Busy" message after the 
internet connection has been down or bad. I'm then forced to reconnect 
AltME. This seems to me to be avoidable if it could silently reconnect 
when the "Internet Busy" message has been there for, perhaps 1 minute.

another thing: When the world is offline, you can't see which worlds 
have new posts.

which worlds => which groups

Please send to Feedback on AltME.com, it pumps the task for that.

When is this world supposed to support folders?

I had a little script I was gonna post.  Maybe rebol.org instead.

I don't know that it ever was.

oh, I thought at one point there was discussion about upgrading this 
world to support it.

you're right, there was discussion :)

Perhaps, it would have had to include Carl, since this is his world, 
not mine.  I'm open to it though.

Im using altme 1.1.29..but seem not to be able to click any http 
links any more? is that correct or perhpas my OS?

(linux)

I have noticed the same behaviour on Linux.

Please report on Feedback.

Still works for me.

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

np

:)

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...
