Am having trouble upgrading RM since v0.85. I managed eventually to use v0.86a with more than a little difficulty - but v0.87 & now v0.88 evades me completely.

I append a copy of my RM properties file (coffee pot is where I keep my JP1 files on my Mac desktop).

Remote.name=URC-8060 Kameleon
Bounds=11,22,930,780
ImportPath=/Users/ronsil/Desktop/Coffee Pot JP1/RemoteMaster.v0.88 Folder/Upgrades
RDFPath=/Users/ronsil/Desktop/Coffee Pot JP1/RemoteMaster.v0.88 Folder/RDFs for IR and RM Version 1.14 Folder
UpgradePath=/Users/ronsil/Desktop/Coffee Pot JP1/RemoteMaster.v0.88 Folder/Upgrades
PromptToSave=Always
ShowRemotes=All
LookAndFeel=apple.laf.AquaLookAndFeel
Remote.signature=KAMEKAM0

Tried the bounds=88,23,821,624 that Nils posted but still refuses to offer me my upgrade files.

Bounds isn't going to help you. That's just the screen coordinates of the RM window.

Does the folder /Users/ronsil/Desktop/Coffee Pot JP1/RemoteMaster.v0.88 Folder/Upgrades actually exist?

Have you looked in rmaster.err?

You might try deleting RemoteMaster.properties and starting over.

1 - Yes the file exists on my desktop and RM has always lived there since I started.

2 - rm.err in 86a is empty , - rem.err in 88 has a considerable amount in it - will post to diagnostics titled v.88 .err as soon as I finish here

3 - Tried deleteing properties from RM file - same result, does not offer upgrades

Why would the folder "/Users/ronsil/Desktop/Coffee Pot JP1/RemoteMaster.v0.88 Folder/Upgrades" have existed BEFORE I released v0.88?

silron1 · Post by **silron1** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 7:24 am

Because Coffee Pot JP1 is the main folder and it contains the current version of RM, after it has been updated and the old version removed.

I don't mean the "Coffee Pot JP1" folder, I mean the "Coffe Pot JP1/RemoteMaster.v0.88 Folder/Upgrades" folder.

Anyway, from the rmaster.err file you posted it looks like this one may actually be a bug in the AquaLookAndFeel for the MAC.

Try using this updated RemoteMaster.jar

- it now works

Yet once again- thank you for that

Glad you are up and running again.

All I did was put a try-catch clause around the following line:

fileChooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed( false );

I think this means that for Mac users the file open dialog allows the choice of "All Files" (or something like that) in addition to "RemoteMaster device upgrade files" and "KeyMapMaster device upgrade files"

"RemoteMaster device upgrade files" and "KeyMapMaster device upgrade files" - I'm afraid us Mac users get offered nothing

There is no dialog when one clicks 'open' in File - only asks if you wish to save current file & then takes you straight to the Upgrade Folder to choose.

gfb107 · Post by **gfb107** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 8:56 am

Yes, but at the bottom of the Open dialog, there should be a "Files of type:" drop-down box. The default value should be "RemoteMaster device upgrade files", the second choice should be "KeyMapMaster device upgrade files". I think that Mac users will also have a third choice "All files" or something like that.

silron1 · Post by **silron1** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 9:00 am

Just checked again - the drop down box is blank

gfb107 · Post by **gfb107** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 9:06 am

Weird. Try this RemoteMaster.jar, see if it makes any difference.

Another thing to try is changing the Look and Feel to see if that makes a difference.

silron1 · Post by **silron1** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 9:22 am

In Look & Feel its only the OS X option that has the prob - both the others work fine.
Couldn't try the link my browser didn't like it!.
