| Subject: | RTAsyncRequest and ImageFX |
Hi everybody,
I'm having a problem with RTAsyncRequest.
I have a program which runs on ImageFX's screen.
If ImageFX is not running, my program will attempt to run it first.
OK, this all is working fine. But, if ImageFX is not running, I would like
to put an async requester on the screen, letting the user know that I am
trying to load ImageFX, and let them cancel if they wish.
This works fine too - but the problem is this:
If the requester is NOT cancelled by the user (in other words, ImageFX does
successfully run and my program can begin), now my window opens on the WB
(or whatever the screen that had the asyncrequester) rather than on IFX's
screen.
I am using "FindScreen 0" after ImageFX starts to get the screen before
openingmy window.
And yes, I am sure ImageFX is the front screen - I use the Arexx comannd
"ScreenToFront" to know if IFX is running...
Any ideas?
Also, if anyone has ImageFX and makes use of it's "thumbnail" feature and
you would like to test the program, let me know.
You'll need ImageFX (v2.06 or better), and ReqTools
It does these things which ImageFX's Arexx thumbnail script doesn't:
* allows automatic thumbnail creation for an entire volume (like a CD, Zip
disk, or HD partition) or for all directories below the selected starting
point.
As well as just a single directory, like the original Arexx script
* (optional) automatically creates subdirectories in your chosen target
directory for "remote" thumbnails (those for non-writeable volumes, or
removable media like Zip drives)
* checks and loads only valid image files - you can set it to scan a whole
CD, and it will find and thumbnail all the image files on it without a
bunch of error requesters
* checks for existing thumbnails, so no time is wasted re-creating ones that
already exist (good for updating directories)
* corrects a bug in the remote-thumbnail writing - if you have ever opened a
directory of remote thumbnails in ImageFX, and had the thumbnail loader
lock-up for no apparent reason, you will appreciate this!
Later...
