"set cursor to busy" not working in revweb?

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi Richard,

At the risk of sounding like a broken record: have you filed this in the Quality Control Center? I had a quick search for the words revlet and cursor (both together and apart), and couldn't find such a report.
It only takes a minute to fill out a bug report, and the more information they have (example script or ven a complete example stack), the quicker they can find the underlying cause.

The good news is: since the release cycle of the revWeb plug-in is separate from the revMedia/Studio/Enterprise IDE, this sort of corrections can be release separately in an incremental patch.

But the best way to ensure the RunRev team tackles this, is to report each problem you encounter. And until they implement a fix, you can look for a workaround.
In this case, you could disable controls, maybe overlaying everything with a white rectangle that has blendlevel 30, and on top of that a regular progress bar, or even an indeterminate progress bar image.

Jan Schenkel.
