Re: App rejected now the 3rd time - because...

It is useful to provide the reviewers with everything they need to know about why the app exists, how users will use it, step by step walk throughs, etc. Don't make them try to read your mind, be explicit about what the app does and why it does what it does. For example, if this is for a compan

Re: App rejected now the 3rd time - because...

So far I've managed to get any apps accepted first time. But the most recent app I did was for a client who had been rejected themselves. Not for what we did for them, but for their own in house app. It was deemed to not have much value, which was indeed the case, it was a simple promotional app

Re: how my book is doing...

Before writing the book for Packt I had been a reviewer on two previous books for them, both about SketchUp. For those I did use Pages, and managed to get away with it, as I was only adding comments. I did at the time get the latest upgrade for Pages, which was able to export Word documents, but

RE: App rejected now the 3rd time - because...

Matthais... I feel for you.. I have often wondered how Apple can ( have the cheek to) decide what should or should not be... I wonder if when you submit an app if it stays with the one reviewer whilst until all the problems are solved and their decision is the final one without ever consulting

Hi Matthias, Hard to learn what they wants, for sure ! And as i will be in the loop next january too, i expect in reading your post than it will not be really painless ! Indeed, it's in sharing such kind of news that we will become fully able to speak the Apple's "iTunes Store dialect language"

App rejected now the 3rd time - because...

Hi, today my new app was rejected the 3rd time. The first rejection was because the app was to simple for Apple Review Team. They argued it was just a browser showing only local content. And apps, that are web sites bundled as apps may be rejected. Btw: The content was a 3D Animation showing m

Re: how my book is doing...

I used to fully publish books in Word. Works better than desktop publishing, if you are happy with their footnote options and a few other restrictions, but their footnoting is as good or better than any other desktop publishing app I have worked with. It gets dicey with images though. You can ru

Packt authors work in Word, and submit that. There's another team that takes the Word document and formats it for print and ebooks. On Dec 1, 2012, at 2:51 PM, stephen barncard wrote: > > In Colin's case, I'm sure he did most, if not all of the production as well > as writing. _

Re: Date Calculation

Doesn't sqLite have date math functions? I would create an sqLite database in memory, create a table with a date column, put todays date into it in SQL format (-mm-dd), then query it using the built in sqLite date math functions. eg. SELECT date('now','start of month','+1 month','-1 day');

Re: how my book is doing...

not sure that's a good comparison considering the production expenses in the creation of the product. In movies, the script is a small portion of the budget. In Colin's case, I'm sure he did most, if not all of the production as well as writing. On Sat, Dec 1, 2012 at 10:48 AM, Jim Lambert wrot

Colin has done well with 14%. That's better than your working screenwriter here in Hollywood, who may get 5% of net, which is sometimes 5% of nothing! Jim Lambert ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to sub

I know from working with Packt that they do active marketing for the first few months, after which it's a stock item I guess. That seems to make sense to me. On Dec 1, 2012, at 1:01 PM, "Marian Petrides, M.D." wrote: > Good point. Tell that to the scumbag publishers… > > On Dec 1, 2012, at 11

Unfortunately, Colin is right. The going royalty rate tends to be around 10% On all the medical books I have published, the royalty was 10% divided among all authors. One extremely big project got 12% divided among 6 editors, each of us getting 2%. I think Amazon's Kindle bookstore gives autho

Re: how my book is doing...

When I signed up with them they had said that the 14% (or thereabouts) that they give is a favorable rate. I checked into it, and certainly a lot of places are more like 10%, so I'm willing to believe that their rate is decent. As for self publishing, there are a handful of things that I'm not f
