Re: Reveal in Find on Windows
Just remembered, you can bipass the shell call entirely.. launch document sRootFolder -- native lc command. Just need to do as I mentioned and be sure its a folder you're dealing with. (otherwise it will launch the apropos app to match the file type) It will probably work for both platforms.

Re: Reveal in Find on Windows
I can't test it on mac, but 2 things. First, if your path is a folder but doesn't have the trailing / you'll end up in the wrong place so you might consider doing a check: if there is a file sRootFolder then delete item -1 of sRootFolder Then for the windows segment use "start": put ("start " & sRootFolder) into tShell -- also noted there is a typo, you use tRootfolder rather than sRootfolder in your example above I _think_ start is available all the way down to xp, but I can't check to make sure.

One of the options is the null set character ( the O with a line through it, U+2205). I have tried to find a cross platform font that displays it on Mac & Win. I got some apparently duff info that Trebuchet would do the trick, It is OK on Mac, but appears as the mystery character box on Win standalone. It may be the difference in the character sets for each platform. If you always develop on a Mac, use macToISO() on the character when the platform is win32. LC usually does the conversion by itself, but if you are populating the list from a custom property, the script has to do it. If you aren't using a custom property then I'm not sure why it isn't translating. Is the list coming from somewhere outside LC?

I believe if you are editing a script only stack script in the IDE then saving the script will update the script only stack file on disk. So the file will remain a text file. Integrating with github is more about using script only stacks than which editor you choose. That means scripts in a Levure app can be edited with the IDE editor.

Apologies that I didn't wrote more clearly. In all my communications on this I've tried to stress that a good editor be bundled with the LC install.

I would guess that a large number of LiveCode users are happy with the current editor. Iterating on the one that ships with LC is probably in the best interest for those users. Keeping everything within LC is definitely a smoother new user experience. Personally I don’t expect the LC team to create a script editor that meets all of my needs. They don’t have enough resources to create an editor that matches a product like Sublime Text. Sublime Text is an app dedicated entirely to editing. There are thousands of people contributing tools to Sublime Text. In addition to the general feature, there is the added bonus that I can work on my company apps that are created using Ruby on Rails, Ember, Salesforce, etc. For me using the same editor for all projects is a big productivity boost. -- Trevor DeVore Outcome & ScreenSteps www.outcomeapp.io - www.screensteps.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: on-rev "HTTP_UPGRADE_INSECURE_REQUESTS"
That actually sounds like a constant that determines if HTTP requests get bumped up to HTTPS. So I googled it and discovered that this is pretty much what it does. For a login request, you would expect that this should be enabled, otherwise you are sending passwords in the clear. You probably know all that, but never assume is the IT Tech's motto. Just tell the client that someone at the server site was working with security certificates and be done with it.

Re: Null symbol cross platform
Frankly I would just take a look at the Unicode convention's guff: U+2205 is a sort of "O" with a slanted line through it: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2205/index.htm http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2200.pdf If you stare at this PDF long enough you might get a free trip without having to reach for the LSD! This is NOT really the problem. What is the problem is whether the stuff "under the hood" in your operating system recognises U+2205 as the null set character or not. I would suggest the "quickest route to heaven" is to ask Microsoft and Apple directly. This would seem to suggest that Windows has not jettisoned all its pre-Unicode bumf: http://superuser.com/questions/61742/how-to-insert-a-null-character-ascii-00-in-notepad While ASCII 00 may result in a null set character being inserted in some Windowsy code, it may not be displayed as the "happy" slashed zero.

Re: [ANN] About the conference in Antwerp
Hi, Please note: today is the last possibility to register for the eHUG International Mini Conference on LiveCode in Antwerp, Belgium. I have updated the website. Please go to http://economy-x-talk.com/conf/ We're still looking for speakers. If you want to share your ideas or are looking for advice, this is your opportunity. We're expecting people from the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland. Given the current location, Antwerp, this conference is an ideal opportunity to meet with other LiveCode programmers, if you're in the North of France. Please, consider participating. The website uses PayPal to handle the registration fee. If this isn't a good option for you, contact me. Got any more questions? Just send me an e-mail. Kind regards, Mark Schonewille http://economy-x-talk.com https://www.facebook.com/marksch Buy the most extensive book on the LiveCode language: http://livecodebeginner.economy-x-talk.com Op 19-Feb-17 om 13:10 schreef Mark Schonewille: Hello, Next week is the 'eHUG International Mini Conference on LiveCode'. The conference will take place on 25th February from 13:00h. until 18:00h. The conference room is open from 12:00h. The location is the Ibis hotel, Meistraat 39 in Antwerp, Belgium. Participation is only possible if you purchase a ticket no later than 22nd February. The tickets will be sent to you later this week. There are 20 tickets available. If you want to be sure of a ticket, you'll need to act quickly. The prices of the tickets are listed on the website. Additionally, non-alcoholic beverages are available for 6 euro per person. Coffee and tea are available from a dispenser (for which my apologies). If any budget is left, it will be spent on additional drinks or perhaps on dinner afterwards. Everything we need is available: WIFI, a beamer with VGA connection, electricity, at least one extra laptop, drinks, etc. If you have any special requests, just let me know. We need more speakers! You can tell something about your own project, private or professional, for which you have created a liveCode stack. If you use a different platform, such as SuperCard, Filemaker, HyperStudio or Xojo, you're very welcome to tell us about it. Do you think you're not so good at making presentations? Organise a workshop instead! Just show us how you work with your favorite tool and if you like, or if you can, invite your public to join. Please indicate that you're a speaker when you buy a ticket. You will receive a discount. A discount is also available if you buy the book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner. After the formal part of the conference, we may have dinner together. The next day, we might have a social event before going home. We will organise this on the spot. I hope to have informed you sufficiently. Just send me an e-mail right-away if you have any questions and I'll reply as soon as I can.
