I was more thinking that adjusting it upward would force AltME to 
read back on X number of messages

reichart, how far back do you store on the server?

All.

It should ALL be there.

I do see the I'm New group now.  I did try a number adjust before 
the reinstall went from the default 100 to 1000 to 1 to 100 to 10000 
to 100.  Nothing.

So far all I get is I'm new

I'm about to try the . trick on the Make-doc group

And I now see Make-doc

Long ago there was a guest account.
From a security viewpoint, getting rid of it was a good thing.

But it was a way to force a resync: log on as guest then again as 
yourself and (in my experience) you always gor properly resynced.

Perhaps there is a case to have a resync account with password given 
out only to those who need it.

Alternatively. some people could have two accounts, and use the spare 
for syncing only.

.

I vote we fix this damn bug : )

sync test

I'll vote for that too.  Still smilin'

Linux sync test

sync bug: I had a problem when I used a slow (and less reliable) 
connection. When the connection is fast and reliable, the problem 
is not showing itself in my opinion.

Can someone recall me what function to call or where should I indicate 
a new download default directory of the console.  By default, it 
seems set to C:/Documents and Settings/AdminHome/Application Data/Rebol/public. 
 I would like to change that.  Thanks.

That's the View cache directory (or sandbox if you prefer), which 
gets set by the installer. Although stuff is downloaded to it it 
is more like the Windows application data directory for REBOL, a 
place for (perhaps untrustworthy) scripts to put their stuff. It's 
not really a default download directory as such.


If you want to change it, the easiest way (for a newbie) is to uninstall 
REBOL, move the entire View directory (not the public subdirectory) 
where you want it to be, and reinstall REBOL, specifying the new 
location. If you are more ambitious, the View root directory is stored 
in the registry and can be changed from there. You can't move the 
public subdirectory seperately from the entire View directory though.


Keep in mind that the View root directory is under Application Data 
for good reasons, particularly to make it easier for multiple users 
on the same computer to use REBOL. It's the standard way to do this 
on Windows, and a good idea overall. 


I tend to leave the View root in appdata where it belongs and then 
set a junction point (sort of like a symbolic link for directories 
on NTFS) in some more friendly location so I can get to the data 
easier. I use the axwLink shell extension for this, which you can 
get here: http://arniworld.de/downloads.htm

Thanks.

you can also use --reinstall or +i to force view to reinstall. of 
course you still need to move the files manually as brian described.

That looks like useful stuff, Brian.

Normand, are you referring to downloads from the script library?

Good question, because the rebol.org script library will need some 
modification to path-thru to handle the url's with the '?' character 
in it. Normand, maybe you just want to change the VIEW-ROOT path 
within rebol. If is used by PATH-THRU, If you care to have a quick 
look at the source. And path-thru is used by exists-thru?, read-thru, 
load-thru... all the functions dealing with the public cache.

I read about 40 platforms, can anyone axplain me how use rebol under 
win mobile?

can't do that yet

that's one of the unsupported platforms :-)

what about another mobile platforms?

I'm not really sure that any mobile platforms are supported yet. 
This has something to do with the memory handling of Rebol. I think 
PocketPC is in the works as it's been wanted for some time now.

what a pity

RT looked at the number of downloads for Windows CE and decided that 
there was no interest .. AFAIK

Yeah, they ported /Core 2.50 to WinCE on StrongARM at my request, 
but apparently I and my clients were the only ones interested. You 
can run this build on Windows Mobile but since this was for a Handheld 
PC it doesn't adjust its window to an onscreen keyboard, making it 
significantly less useful on the Pocket PC platform.

Plus the user interface loks a little off because it is written for 
an older version of WinCE, and the title bar didn't match the standard 
layout even then.

I haven't tried it on the smartphone layout, but I would be shocked 
if it worked. :)

I will definitely request again when REBOL has Unicode support, probably 
with REBOL 3.

We wanted to use it too Brian, but it wasn't up to what we asked 
of it (View being important).

it is overall interesting issue - to get rebol running on various 
platforms in a way so it adheres to particular platform habits .... 
OS-X, WinCE being reported as Rebol feeling kind of hostile there 
...

it probably amounts to have rebol being more flexible with the types 
of windows and interfaces it can make... currently, just being able 
to create one type of windows isn't enough for more and more platforms.

could you help me with parsing? what is the best way to change value 
of "src"'s in html document to another value?

probably through old fashioned search/replace

Parse is probably the best way.

I presume just src of image tags ?

yes

about mobile... is it plannig rebol/view 1.3.2 for win mobile 5.0? 
I want to see power and buty of rebol/view on vga(640/480) handheld 
screen :)

julia, http://www.rebol.net/article/0217.html<--- this is the closest 
hint we have so far

thanks

Julia, I have just written this so it's not well-tested:

page: read http://www.rebol.com

images: copy []

use [whsp ws non-end-tag strd p1 p2 delim non-delim][

	whsp: charset " ^-^/" ; whitespace
	ws: [any whsp] ; a rule for any number of whitespace characters
	non-end-tag: complement charset ">" ; all characters except ">"
	strd: charset {"'} ; string delimiters, double and single quote
	parse/all page [
		any [
			thru "<img" [
				ws "src" ws "=" ws 

    p1: [strd (delim: form p1/1) | (delim: ">")] (non-delim: complement 
    union whsp charset delim)

    p1: any non-delim p2: (append images copy/part p1 p2) ; keep the 
    url
				| non-end-tag
			] | skip
		]
	]

]


new-line/all images on ; add hidden newlines to the images block 
so it molds nicely
print mold images

It sounds like you want to modify the image links in place, so we 
can show you how to do that safely, too.

I should mention some characteristics of the above parse rule.

Since it does not parse html, its detection of real img tags is simple 
and cannot determine the context in which the string  "<img" is found. 
 For instance, there might be written some code in a preformatted 
text section, eg:
	<pre>
		<img src="...">
	</pre>

Such a section should be left alone by the parser as it is not "inside" 
the html.
Unfortunately, making a full html parser is not so easy...
But you may find the above rule is sufficient for your needs.

'alt' and other atributes can be before img -> <img alt="picture" 
src="picture.jpg"/>

Thankyou Alek, you are right.... hmm..
