[REBOL] rebol/viewDLL problems

From: bry:itnisk at: 5-Mar-2004 10:03

One thing I noticed yesterday when playing around, if I started a html file that referred to a .r file that had an error via the plugin a shell with the name Rebol/ViewDll came up - sure others have seen this already by now - I closed the shell, from then on in until I had closed every instance of my browser the plugin did not work. I checked my processes to see if this shell was running somewhere in the background but I couldn't see any reference to it. As soon as I fixed the problem, closed all my browsers (suppose this doesn't matter if one is running a Windows Shell where each instance of IE is running on its own thread, but most people ain't) and restarted the html file, the plugin worked on all example pages I had of it. okay that was interesting, hope that gets fixed. So then one of the things I thought this might be interesting for is to have Rebol integrated pages as ActiveDesktop items. I created a quick activeDesktop html page, I went ahead and put in my object tag and set the LaunchURL param to refer to a file via an absolute path (windows path) this didn't work, neither did referring to it via a file:// url, or a rebol path. Has anyone got this to work with a file path? This by the way seems to confirm that a failed plugin page won't cause other proper plugin pages to stop working if run on a different thread, as checking various web browser plugins worked fine. I did get the activeDesktop plugin working fine, but only by moving the referenced .r file to the same folder as my activeDesktop item. I suppose the best thing to actually have running as an activeDesktop would be a modified view Desktop.
