The OSS "community" already had TONs of work to do.
Apparently a lot of other software is crashing with macOS Ventura as well.
I wonder why? Time to install Ventura and find out I guess.
Every year this former mac fan-boy inches closer to becoming a Linux regular.

Late to this thread, but I’d like to add some FYI:
You can get a free Apple Dev account, which allows you to code-sign (but not
notarize, only Apple can do that) Mac apps and up to 5 or so iOS apps (which
you would have to "side load” somehow unless you jailbreak your iDevice).

Is Lipo is part of the Apple Command Line tools? I believe so, and that’s a
separate from XCode (I’ve usually install it via Terminal command).
It is used to strip out unwanted architectures (PPC,X86 32bit, etc.) from
binaries (it can unfatten ‘fat’ binaries)

Just an FYI, you have to do that right-click-to-open thing TWICE on BigSur
and higher to clear the gatekeeper check before the app will actually
launch on the second try. There’s actually few ways to get by the
gatekeeper.

I was fairly certain that XPDF external was/is based on this XPDF:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xpdf
Which has both GPL and Proprietary Licensing options available.
The newer (> 9.6.3) PDF Widget is based on PDFium which is an offshoot

Alternatively you could add a magnification control that sets the stack’s
scaleFactor properly, or sets the stack to fullscreen mode and stretches it
to fit with fullScreenMode “exact fit”.

Well I've wanted to contribute more, and have as time allowed. I first had
to learn how to use GitHub before I could even start to contribute, and did
appreciate the hand holding I got from the team along the way. But
understand that LC needs to be very careful and methodical about what they

It was more of a rhetorical question / suggestion... Output PDF of

page layout app, link the layout to the LC PDF file and print, that's
the way it's done by printers. And most of t

There's also this XCMD and another tool somewhere that claimed they could
convert protected HC stacks to back to normal stacks but I'm not sure how
effective they were (if at all):

For clarity, I would add that the mp3 files to be played could be included

You can easily use AppleScript mixed with LiveCode script to change focus

I believe 32bit run mode was the default for earlier versions of LiveCode
but 9.x is 64bit by default. I bring that up out of curiosity because I had
a problem with a browser plug-in (64/32bit) running inside a LiveCode
Browser widget in the past. The plugin would crash running in 64bit,

I'm not sure which is more complete updated,
Trevor's nssystem-status-bar LCB or the LCB that comes with LC IDE, or are
they the same code?
A few years back I was able to combine an AppleScript (AppleScriptObjC)
Applet with an LiveCode App living inside it's bundle and have them talk to

I ran into this myself recently. LiveCode sends a resizeStack message when
you click the maximize "zoom box" button which you can intercept, but
there's no way to verify that it was the fullscreen zoom button that
generated the message. It would be nice if LC had the opposite of it's

Not to my knowledge, but I'm sure it's completely doable. I once created an
