Re: Indenting scripts
I put the script formatter in the MC IDE through a significant overhaul in IDE 4.1 and it looks like something crept in I hadn't tested for. LOL! One thing I've learned is that there is no such thing as a simple code change :-) There is always a domino effect. Thank you for being so on top of it! I'll let you know if the updated IDE fixes it :-) Shari -- Bad Dog Books http://books.gityasome.com Critters, humor, patriots and sports t-shirts http://www.bearsware.com WlND0WS and MAClNT0SH shareware http://www.gipsyking.com ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Indenting scripts
I finally installed LiveCode and the latest MC IDE 4.1 (had been using Rev prior to LiveCode). For the most part it all went smoothly but I've encountered a really distracting issue. I opened a project that was in-the-works and the script indent is awry, making it very difficult to work. Example: on someHandler get random(5) if it is 1 then else if it is 2 then else if it is 3 then else if it is 4 then else if it is 5 then end if end someHandler on someOtherHandler end someOtherHandler If I have not filled in some of the else-ifs yet, those get indented additionally so that the end result is that the end of the handler is not lined up with the beginning, even though there are no errors in the handler. This additional indentation carries all the way down thru subsequent handlers as well so that every handler after the empty else-if is so indented that it's halfway across the window. Sure I could put some bogus space filler in there but that sort of negates how I work, which isn't from top to bottom. I'm accustomed to looking for the empty else-if's to fill in the blanks. I'm also accustomed to creating blank-shells handlers so that I know what needs to be done. Is there some way to fix the indents so that the only additional indents are for script errors, and not empty places that I just haven't filled in yet? This is driving me up a wall!

Log into your LiveCode store account and download the latest, if your license allows it. It could be an IDE issue, I'm not sure. I know the engine does a lot of the parsing, but I tested in LiveCode, not in the MC IDE. I don't use MC often for actual development any more, I use it mostly just to test and run existing stacks. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

A day late, too funny! I ended up creating a fake handler called filler and sticking it in all the blank places that need to be filled out. I'd just spent several days upgrading two computers with LiveCode, the MC IDE, and then discovering that LiveCode didn't like some of my existing source code that had been rolling along happily for a decade. I've had enough fun with upgrades and I think I'll sit tight for the moment. I think I'd lose my marbles if I went through another round of upgrading. I did get to use the MC standalone builder for the first time since the new incarnation. I likey! The Mac side worked flawlessly though I did still need to make some manual changes to the plist file and a couple other things inside the package. The Win standalone builder failed, gave no reason for failing, so I tried creating the Win version on the Mac and that worked flawlessly. First time ever for building a standalone for one OS on another OS and having it work happily. If it ain't broke, don't upgrade it. :-) -- Bad Dog Books http://books.gityasome.com Critters, humor, patriots and sports t-shirts http://www.gityasome.com WlND0WS and MAClNT0SH shareware http://www.gipsyking.com ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
