[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.
