Just read the ECMI draft 006 - good work! A couple of questions: - any examples of libraries or components "in the wild"? - public custom properties - naming...
... I have several on my hard drive (libraries mostly), but haven't released them yet; I'm sure others could comment on their stuff. ... Not necessarily......
... Am I missing something? This is not at all how I understand it. Ah - think I understand. Yes if I set a custom property called 'numberOf_Columns' without a...
... Yes, in that case you can use whatever you like... actually, you can *always* use whatever you like since ECMI is not mandatory, but merely a suggested set...
... Good to know I'm thinking on compatible lines :) The main objective I am aiming at here is to extend and build on this work - which means using it for...
... Return arrays from where? I don't know what you mean - you can return arrays from functions just fine: on mouseUp put GetArray(10) into tArray put...
... Doubt it :) But you can't return arrays from getprop handlers. ... Thanks - think you were generous enough to give me that link before. Great tutorial -...
Hi everybody, I was looking at the reserved image id database and had a thought. As I see it, the primary reason for reserved ids are for developers who are...
Hello everyone, I have posted a revised version of the ECMI Specifications (Draft 007) to the Files area, which is the same as Draft 006, but with the minor ...
Hi Ken, Make This Final? Yes! Complete, consistent and clear: it will be the basis for completing the RIP editor and reader I began last June... Bravo and...
Ken, The only exception I'd take is with the recommendation that versions be in "x.x.x" format. I know this is not a requirement. And I know this notation is...
... True. ... Actually, I never felt that it allowed only 10 numbers; since the slots are for major version, minor version, and build number (traditionally),...
Ken- ... Given this discussion, I think I'd like to see the addition of a uRIP["RIPversion"] property, which would be the version of the standard that the set...
Hi Ken, Great job, and I have no problems with it overall. I have found a few typos if you are interested in them: In Development Opportunities, the 2nd list...
Dear Trevor, This is an excellent suggestion. Anybody to write the little script to manage this db? (if no positive answer by two weeks, I will consider doing...
Many thanks for this, Ken and others. This is really extremely useful. Can I make very minor suggestions, if not too late: uRIP["homeURL"] changed into...
Hi Marielle and Trevor, The reserved IDs are very high numbers users generally don't use: most of them let the engine number images and practically it does not...
... Sorry, I misunderstood. My comment was about <company> prefixes. This was about images IDs? ... Well, the problem with statistics is that even the most...
Trevor, Marielle, and Eric, As I understand it, General Motors, Ford, Toyota, etc. only have a few thousand key patterns. So there is a good chance that over a...
... The fact that somebody else has a matching key doesn't prevent me from opening my car door, does it? The issue here is to evaluate if the shared ID causes...
... This has already been done - if you look in the Database area on the RevInterop yahoo group, you'll see two databases: 'NamespacePrefixes', where people...
... I can understand why everyone thinks this might be overkill but I still see it as a good idea. Revolution does not have a large developer community but it...
... Actually, thank YOU, Marielle... I forgot to make the spec official at the beginning of the new year, and you're post reminded me it needed to be done. ......
