[!AltME] Discussion about AltME

Maybe RT was trying to see if they could get continual resize events 
processed by rebol, so they disabled a default refresh. But then 
it was probably found that rebol refresh is not really fast enough 
to keep up ? Not sure.
I don't remember ever seeing an option to enable "all resize events".
There might be a way to do it using the system port, but then that 
might be platform specific (ie. probably Windows-only) for now.

Ok, after all my complaints about font sizes in Altme on newer monitors, 
it looks like the next windows will deal with this... a quote.. 


 Don't you hate it how, when you increase the resolution of your desktop, 
 everything gets smaller? With widescreen LCD monitors sporting resolutions 
 of 1920x1200, and even laptops with screens that high-res, the icons 
 and text on your PC can become absolutely tiny when you run at the 
 native resolution. Enabling large fonts and trying to scale your 
 desktop icons in WinXP only sort-of works, and it breaks as many 
 things as it fixes. With Vista, your plug-and-play monitor can tell 
 your PC what size and resolution it is, and then Vista can scale 
 everything appropriately. 12-point fonts will actually be 12 points, 
 regardless of whether you're using a 1280x1024 19
 LCD or an ultra-high-res laptop."

More to come. Also, OSX works, but a few small bugs still hanging 
around. See notes on that page.

 - Wow, finally WinXP works like the Mac did 10 years ago. (Sorry, 
 I just had to say it.)

Is there a way to remove all the reds from every user and group ???
I installed the beta, and things didn't go well.  So I uninstalled 
and installed again.  Now everything is red :(

Aaaa guys.. why is Linux always running last for these great tools 
? ;-(
Pekr

but for altme to become really more adopted, world look-up port should 
be removed, as I can see it as unnecessary obstacle ...
couldn't it be done via default 80 port plus cgi?
Graham

world lookup is so that they can control the licensing.
Pekr
1-Mar-2006
[1003]
yes, but why does have to run it via special port?

Grham ..Is it a coinsidence that I like FileSharing very much in 
your Chat Applet and its now inside Altme ? ;-)

Can smoeone send me the last 10 lines frmo this Group? It seemed 
to be lost while I was running the old Altme and the new at the same 
time..
untill Carls notification
Well almost complete this filesharing... If there would be a nice 
Password protection possible on shared files (Like the SHA exmaple 
from Carls Cookbook) the filesharing would be complete upto the level 
of privicy ...
...Shared files and stored with encoding... So let the newsgroups 
now misuse ALTME for anything ;-) Good for business though...

Rebolinth, I guess it's the situation of simultaneous separate development 
:)

hundreds of mouse clicks later .. I've cleared all the reds :(
Henrik

yeah, any news on how close this beta is to final?

You'd think there would be a "clear-all" button.
Henrik
1-Mar-2006
[1015]
I must request a feature to create source files directly within the 
filesharing area. if it works how I think it works, this could be 
used for a form of collaborative editing
[unknown: 10]
1-Mar-2006
[1016]
Yes That was a feature request frmo 2 years ago from me too, Clear 
all unread messages with 1 click..
Henrik
1-Mar-2006
[1017]
I like the edit/publish methodology inside the filesharing area

Q: Where should the clear-all button go?
Q: Does the current REBOL/View 1.3.2 work ok on your Linux box?
Henrik
1-Mar-2006
[1021]
at the bottom possibly? how about making room for a button panel 
just below the list of groups. I think some of the options related 
to editing that list are a little too hidden
[unknown: 10]

[1022]
Yes here no real problems with the last rebview from sdk 262..
Frank

Yes 1.3.2 works on linux
[unknown: 10]
1-Mar-2006

exept for the Fonts in draw ofcourse
Henrik

no problems with 1.3.2 under ubuntu linux here (not even the ubuntu 
version)
Carl
1-Mar-2006
[1026]
So, are you using the Ubuntu version or the older lib version?
[unknown: 10]
1-Mar-2006
[1027]
Im using "slackware 10.2" with  libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
Henrik
1-Mar-2006
[1028]
just the older lib version, I haven't downloaded the ubuntu version 
at all... did you make the ubuntu version because of Hoary's lib 
problems?
Carl
1-Mar-2006
[1029x2]
Actually, the older one no longer ran on half the Linux boxes here.
So, question is, which one to pick for AltME build?
[unknown: 10]
1-Mar-2006
[1031]
...Silence...tells more then words.... (well i could say take the 
latest 1.3.2 lib..) not easy for an outsider to descide ;-)
james_nak
1-Mar-2006
[1032]
Carl,  the Clear-All button could go in the "list options" though 
that's a bit hidden.
[unknown: 10]
1-Mar-2006
[1033]
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is thought default in the kernels 2.4.26 
and up i guess but not sure.. is hard to find that Lib as standalown 
..(if you need it)
Carl
1-Mar-2006
[1034]
There are a few other gotcha libs in the mix like. 
libXaw7.so.7
james_nak

You could also have a clear + date (up to ) feature.
