refsreceived - clasqm - 04-13-2016
is peek$("refsreceived") still around? It seems to have dropped out of the documentation. My apps using it don't crash, though
RE: refsreceived - bbjimmy - 04-14-2016
It never was in the IDE help file.
peek$("refsreceived") is a very important command. It is used like this:
1
Be sure to give your yab app its own appsig. using the buildfactory from the IDE, over-write application/x-vnd.yab-app with something like application/x-vnd.yourcool-app
2
When your app saves files have it add an attribute:
ATTRIBUTE SET "Mime:, "BEOS
REF_APP", "application/x-vnd.yourcool-app", Filename$Where Filename$ is the name of the file to save.
3
Have the program open the proper file
a$=peek$("refsreceived")
if a$<>"" then
// do what it takes to open the file
endif
4
Add the program to the applications section of FileTypes, /boot/system/preferences/FileTypes
5
Double click the saved data file and your program is launched with the refsreceived information about what file was double clicked.
This should allow one to double-click the data file and have it open in your program.

Looks like I missed the refsreceived documentation in the last release.
It won't miss the next release ... https://github.com/bbjimmy/YAB/commit/e1459f1135ba82d46804f2a0cd1bbc8be4d3ff7f
