rebol/viewDLL problems

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.

Hello! Re. closing the console window in the plugin. This does currently cause REBOL to die. We know about this bug and are looking into it. As far as Active Desktop goes, we haven't looked into this yet. We're currently only supporting IE as a browser. Thanks! Josh Mitts

oh it works fine in Active Desktop, IE's rendering engine is pretty tightly wound in all sorts of strange places in windows.
