Guess what, you where not to see that, yet. My feed finder works so well It catches things before they shall be released (made with rev none the less) To 43 of you all that did get a peak of the content I had links and images  up for. Wash your eyes out with soap at once. lol, Since the links I had are now off line. and by the kind request of runrev. we will repost this content at a different time.

What is rpQCLib and what is it not. It all about graphics processing for bitmap images and for video that includes other things that support graphic processing. 

What can it do as an overview, well this maybe will answer some questions. It a link you have to read it here @ General Info of rpQCLib

We have started to uploading supported documentation for this. Still testing out an server side script for online docs, It close to working like how I want it, but still a few days off. We are still working with a clients project so we need to focus on that before we test out the online docs. a few days or so.

Made major headway thought 1/3 of the documentation over the last day. And put up the general overview site. There still more info to be added with example apps, video, images and full syntax. Considering our internal deadline was October 31st. We feel good to let the cat out of the bag, at bit early. We know there not to many interested parties as it not really cross platform (well not 100% true, there is a small part of the lib that does work with all rev supported deployment platforms.) Still sure a few handfull of people will be interested so check out what we got so far.

Thanks oh and here the overview site. Read the bottom of that page it may interest someone.

Enough is enough. I had all I could take of this. I went down and dirty and built a stand in tool to do it for me. Pretty simple actually, I did not think In an hour I have a solution.

The get info way of doing thing stinks, cause you can only open one such file with one and only one app. and double clicking seems to have problems with .rev files, currently. Also had a mess of a time getting a revlet file to load into safari as 32 bit. I clicked the box in get info and nothing.

After failure over and over. I started reading system logs, witch showed safari reverting back to 64 bit. Which is a problem. Why would it do this?

So the answer is a simple drag in drop app. Witch looks like if I can make one for rev I could make one for all files and all apps in 10.6+ Yup drag in files select the app. and push process will open them where they should open. Got to love shell scripts. Opening revlet/html files with safari opens them in safari and switches safari to 32 bit @ the same time. Adding to my rev resources page on our site as full intel only standalone.

There always an answer to a problem. It is always fun figuring out how to fix the problem and making the solution. It like playing with puzzle.

I have rev related resources every where, spread around the web. This is kind of dumb, so I've started a general page for all our rev related stuff. It new so it's a little bare as of today. As I still consider if I should link to or just add all the resources to this one site. We have a few rev plug-ins that I made and use, I have not added them yet, but will with in a week or so.

Depending on when you catch this info, you may or may not see the full docs and examples to the full version 1 quartz library for runrev. That is no longer in just beta. This would of come out sooner but Snow Leopard gave sort of a minor issue that needed addressing first. That issue turned the quartz library into the Quartz and QT-Kit Library. I was thinking that one could use the other quicktime extenial, but 2 major things quartz needs are not inculding in it. So I had to take the extra time and write all the quicktime stuff into this.

The old QC tutorials videos are now sort of out dated. As it works without so much smoke and mirror type tricks. QuickTime is no longer needed as a container for images. Added support for a whole host of image files and media files. Which is kind of cool in itself if you do not want to use the quartz end of the library at all.

I've started going through the docs, and am adding and rewriting the docs To have the basic info in place. Other wise no one will know how to use it. So that link will be populated soon, and yes with examples. (docs will also have an updated online version that has links to find things easy, see I was watching the documention revlive, presentation.)

And for those who have no clue what runrev is, no worry , I links to there products from my resource site.

Well that is that. here the link: http://www.obleoproductions.com/page21/page16/page16.html

I always lose this code snippet when I need to look in /usr/bin. It is also a great tip to list here, also. Some times you just want to see the hidden files that the OSX finder hides. A simple a fast shell command will do it. Open terminal and type:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

hit return , and then type:

killall Finder

again hit return, and bam. look at the finder.

Now you will see all that is hidden. To reverse it back to normal, just rewrite the above, switching out TRUE for FALSE (note the caps.)

The killall finder will refresh the finder, pretty important or you will not see the changes.

I came across this video today. And felt it was worthy of posting about. Most people that read this blog, most likely already know this stuff. But then maybe not.
 
Back in 2006 I meet Sal at the Apple Developer, Leopard Tech Talks in Chicago. The guy is good, very good. And he can show you how to do just about anything. Even stuff, you didn't realize you could do.
 
The 45 minute video is located at macosxautomation.com web site. And is worth watching even if you think you know it all. This guy can easy show how your scripts can be optimize to work so much better.
 
Head over to the mac osx automation web site. link below and watch it.
 
Find it on this page on rightside box (Quicktime icon, check that) @ http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/firsttutorial/index.html

There is many false rumors going around that scripting additions will not work in snow leopard (OSX10.6). This is completly untrue. There is a simple addition that one needs to make because AppleScript and osascript run in 64-bit mode by default (on hardware that supports it).  

If your using an older 32-bit scripting additions. You can force applescript to run in 32-bit mode by adding the shell command:

arch -i386 osascript 32-bit-only.scpt

The reviewers I guess do not install developer tools, because no where did I see that Quartz Composer got major updates with snow leopard until I opened it. And was surprised with the new additions.

OSX 10.6 Quartz Composer features 16 New Patches , 8 updated patches, 1 new protocol and an UI makeover.

Quartz Composer now has a fully integrated geometry pipeline. and there is many other performance upgrades.

New Protocol

Mesh Filter is a new Repository protocol for all things having to do with meshes. 

NEW Patches Include
