JP1 Remotes

Sorry. Back to original behavior. Editor opens in the background every time.
Let me reitterate, this isn't really a big deal (once I understood what was happening). I didn't come here expecting anyone to invest a lot of time in it for me, and I truly appreciate the effort. I was actually just ...

Use non-modal Device Editor is NOT selected.

Mathdon, tried 3.2.6. Here's the kink. Every time I open RMIR the device editor opens in the foreground first time it's invoked. Opens in background every time thereafter.

I take it that it opening in the foreground first time is new to v3.2.6. What are you then doing? Are you closing it then re ...

@pogo:
Apologize if this has been said before, or is trivial: but have you tested if all LaF (look and feels) behave the same? In another thread, LaF tuned out to be critical.

Sorry Barf, I don't understand what you're telling me. (No lack of ignorance here :D )

Mathdon, tried 3.2.6. Here's the ...

Graham,
I wish you the best of health both for your body, your soul and your computer(s).
Ditto from me. I understand health problems too well.
...if something in my environment has been changed, or if I simply cannot recall what I did, is something we will probably never know.

Ditto again. I'm ...

A work-around is to check Options -> Advanced -> use non-modal Device Editor, and when the popup occurs, move the parent window away. Does this solve your problem?


It really doesn't matter whether it's modal or not (although you make a strong case against modal). The upgrade editor window ...

As usual, I wasn't very clear. The app doesn't lock up (although I thought it did.)The behavior that was causing me to believe that was the edit device window opening behind the main window so that I didn't know it was actually there.

I recently bought a JP1 USB interface for use with ir on a windows 10 machine.
When I came to search the latest version of IR, I found the release note for RMIR 3.2.0, so I downloaded and was delighted to find that I recognized my wife's old URC8910 and would upload/download. However when I tried ...

Which part did you replace, was it the outer shell or casing? If so, maybe there's a molding defect on the inside of the bad one that is pushing the button membrane away from the casing.
Replaced the display bezel. Still have the new one and a bunch of old ones -- someday when I'm bored I'll take ...

I spite of my best efforts, I cannot wean my wife from this model. She has used it for too long. I've always programmed them so that for her they are hardware independant. Her last three all have button problems, (something I've never really successfully fixed.). I thought I would eventually get her ...

Since 10.15 is the third major upgrade since 10.12 there have been a lot of changes. Unfortunately most having to do with "protecting" the user from himself.

Uploaded settings.bin I've been working with. It's simply the factory fresh file from simple set. Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to save ...

No luck with this, however you're on the right track. It is some issue with permissions. One thing I did demonstrates this, but is not an acceptable solution. I disabled SIP (System Integrity Protection) and download worked just fine. Not an acceptable permanent solution since it's way more global ...

Good News - RMIR ran perfectly on MAC OS 10.12 (Sierra). Download and Upload were successful.

Bad News -- Upgraded to MAC OS 10.15 (Catalina)
"No Remotes found" New installation with no user confusion issue.

rmaster.err from RMIR 2.12.10 is here.

Nothing's ever that simple. I can replicate the result above with settings.bin in the home folder "bill" as well. It seems if settings.bin is in the folder that RMIR was installed to it will open. Oh, well. On to the big experiment. I'll let you know what i find.

I will post development build RMIR v2.12.10 shortly, with Barf's rewrite of JPS.java. On the earlier suggestion, I believe Ben has already tried giving the full pathname to settings.bin explicitly. Doing so simply goes more directly to the "new FileInputStream" line so I would not expect this to ...
