Graham 9-Oct-2008 [1991x6] | So, I'll have to dynamically generate the plugin code. Sound right? |
the fax is on a remote site and will be converted to png by imagemagick | |
Anyone know how to pass parameters to the plugin? | |
<PARAM NAME="Args" VALUE="?"> ? Command-line arguments passed to the script (available in system/options/args). | |

What I am doing now is storing the image in the webapp public area. I think create the embed object with a parameter pointing to the image. the embed object loads the paint program and then loads the image as the parameter. | |
Terry 9-Oct-2008 [1997] | that's quite the mashup |
Graham 9-Oct-2008 [1998x2] | It's working ... |
I can paint on an image that is stored in the Cheyenne webapp | |
Terry 9-Oct-2008 [2000] | How do you define webapp? |
Graham 9-Oct-2008 [2001] | That's the term Cheyenne uses for a password protected area of the webspace |
Terry 9-Oct-2008 [2002x2] | ahh.. |
did you need a password to draw on it? | |
Graham 9-Oct-2008 [2004x2] | let me do a quick video |
http://screencast.com/t/ICQzmG4FP5 | |
Terry 9-Oct-2008 [2006] | ok |
Graham 9-Oct-2008 [2007] | the paint is a bit sluggish :( |
Terry 9-Oct-2008 [2008] | Why faxes? Do they not have internet in NZ? |
Graham 9-Oct-2008 [2009x2] | It's for the USA. Not for me |
Oh, and Canada | |
Terry 9-Oct-2008 [2011] | Still |
Graham 9-Oct-2008 [2012] | Most docs in the USA and Canada get prescription requests by fax from the pharmacy |
Terry 9-Oct-2008 [2013] | That industry is as bad as government when it comes to IT |
Graham 9-Oct-2008 [2014] | I don't recall the plugin being this sluggish |
Terry 9-Oct-2008 [2015] | Chrome? |
Graham 9-Oct-2008 [2016] | IE |
Graham 10-Oct-2008 [2017x4] | Anyone using IE can tell me why the paint is so very slow? http://www.compkarori.com/faxes/paint.html |
Or, any View experts here .... Anton?? | |
the plugin doesn't seem to show up in task manager. | |
I had always imagined that the view.dll ran just like View in terms of speed. | |
DideC 10-Oct-2008 [2021x2] | I looks like events are flowing too much. I guess events have to "traverse" the browser and then go to view.dll. Maybe you should try an event filtering like romano/gabriele's one. eat.r is in rebol.org, but is old. I think there was an earlier version somewhere (Romano's web site : url ?) |
I looks = It looks | |
Graham 10-Oct-2008 [2023x6] | Hmm. |
I guess I could bring up the paint in it's own window so that it is outside the browser | |
I'lll give that a go. | |
the browser makes a nice container though allowing me to scroll the paint applet | |
I thought about enclosing the image inside <canvas> tags .. but doesn't work. | |
Yes, that works better, taking the paint surface out of the browser into it's own window. | |
Gabriele 13-Oct-2008 [2029x2] | graham, i think i remember the pluging getting a lot of mouse events (more than the standalone view). i think this was a IE thing. |
you could solve using something like event compression etc. | |
Graham 13-Oct-2008 [2031] | Oh well, using it's own window also works :) |
Graham 15-Oct-2008 [2032] | Anyone got the plugin to work with FF3 ? |
Will 15-Mar-2009 [2033] | http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/ |
Graham 15-Mar-2009 [2034] | so you have rebol running ?? |
Pekr 15-Mar-2009 [2035] | Nice - so web guys are cheating on us, RIA followers, right? First they claim web is the mantra. Then they create new browser to even more split browser/standards penetration, then they allow native code to be hooked. Surely, to make some difference, this one will not be compatible with NS type plugins, to make it even more difficult for devs ... |
amacleod 15-Mar-2009 [2036] | Would this "Native CLient" run on any hardware that is not x86? |
Gabriele 16-Mar-2009 [2037] | iirc they are using some x86 specific features to enforce security, so my guess is no. |
Sunanda 23-Mar-2011 [2038] | Is there any point in the REBOl.org Script Library supporting the plugin any more? There are 15 scripts that are tagged as runable in the plugin. But none of them do in recent browers. http://www.rebol.org/st-topic-details.r?tag=platform//plugin |
Henrik 23-Mar-2011 [2039] | for historical purposes? |
Gregg 23-Mar-2011 [2040] | Is there a reason to remove them? Adding a note about compatibility would be good, but removing them means losing a bit of reference material. I don't know the last version of IE it works under, but I actually have some old things that use it. I still have IE6 here for running those. :-\ |
