Background tabs: open a tab without going there!

Watch me open tabs from tRev's Object Browser, Scratch Pad and Handler Links without leaving current tab:

(download)

New Background Tabs
  • Now you can open a tab to another object while staying in your current tab.
  • This allows you to keep working in the browser or on a script.
  • Use command key (control on PCs) to open a tab without going to it.
  • Works on Browser line items, links-to-handlers in code, and the scratchpad.
  • Command+double-clicking a line item in Browser no longer edits name of line item.
Easier Scratch pad locking
  • When Scratch Pad is unlocked, escape key locks it.
Fixed
  • If tRev thinks it's offline on startup, it now tries again.
  • Scratch Pad contents now reliably preserved from session-to-session.
  • When in zoom mode, controls in list can now be renamed.
  • When in zoom mode and controls being renamed, escape key now exits renaming.
New components are now ready for updating!
NOTE: If you are not seeing the new features after updating and quitting tRev, then you may need to launch tRev with the option key down on the Mac. If you are running Windows, then hold down the alt key immediately AFTER running tRev. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Need more detail in card snaps? ZOOM!

Watch me zoom a card snapshot out to full size with a click, double-click or a keystroke:

(download)

Click to zoom:

Keystrokes that zoom:

Click to unzoom:

Keystrokes that unzoom:

All tRev components have been updated for zoom as well as the Quickstart and Shortcut documents for OS X and Vista/7.

ALERT: As of the update made hours after this post, double-clicking the area outside the snap no longer zooms and unzooms. Instead double-clicking the area directly outside the snap (but within the surrounding snap pane) will now edit the script of the card snap's stack. Also, double-clicking any non-control area inside the snap will open the script of the card.

Download Build 201 of tRev Application

There is a brand new build (201) of the tRev application that you will want to download.

The links for each OS are on the right side of the main page of our site.

The following enhancements have been made to tRev and its components:
  • Non-admin users can now use tRev without having to alter read/write Rev folder permissions.
  • Sockets are being managed even more carefully to avoid conflict and to improve performance.
  • Communication between Rev and tRev is now tighter and more stable.
  • tRev no longer erroneously reports you are not connected to the internet.
  • Errors indicating missing broker files and other components have been drastically reduced.
You will need to restart tRev after downloading it, launching it and updating its components. If you forget to do this right away, you may have to force an install by holding down option/alt when you relaunch.

NOTE: In order to do all the clean up listed above, I had to temporarily sacrifice the multiple instances of tRev running simultaneously feature. With 201 you can only run one instance of tRev at a time on a machine.

New Transparent Inspection

Option Key Inspection has become Transparent Inspection!

(download)

 

Here's how to use Transparent Inspection:

  
  1. Choose menu item Transparent Inspection from the Inspect menu (cmd+i) to turn it on
  2. Editor goes transparent and, as you move your mouse, you'll see info about objects in Rev
  3. Type any single key (except escape) and the object below your pointer gets added to your tRev tabs
  4. Type cmd+i or escape to turn off the Transparent Inspection.

Use your option (alt) key as it was intended

 

  • to copy when you drag (no longer shift)
  • to bypass warning dialogs (no longer shift)
  • use option to display text of colors in raptor handlers (not shift)
  • to close all tabs but current one, use option, not shift
  • close all tabs except current applies to menu item, too (cmd+option+w)
  • to force editor to hug bottom right corner after moving it, use option key
  • taking a snapshot of a snap now requires option key (no longer shift)
  • to force the content of a renamed field to become its name, use option (no longer shift)

Dialogs

  • bypass warning dialogs by depressing option key (no longer shift)
  • bypass includes quick keys for column buttons
  • warning dialogs now force you to click to take the most drastic action (like deleting)

Fixes

  • closing a stack in Rev when destroyStack=false no longer closes its tabs in tRev
  • replacing text via the Replace or All buttons now marks appropriate tabs as dirty
  • deleting a control now re-surrounds the next control in snaps with orange rect
Updates for both platforms are ready for you. Just Check for Updates from the Help menu.
