Re: App Rejected: Crash reports
Thanks Jaque Dar, I've sent the stack and the crash reports to RunRev support people at the same time than my original post to this forum and I am waiting for the answer. I've made some of the stress tests Dar suggests during the developing process and I never couldn't make it crash. Actually I have no crash reported in Xcode from my app during the whole developing process. I will try some more stress tests, but if it is really a random bug I feel I am in a big trouble, facing Apple and specially, facing my client. Let's see the support people answer. Meanwhile, is there any event in LiveCode for detecting a crash ? Does the closeStack works when a crash occurs ? Maybe I can detect at least in which card and circumstances the crash occurs adding some code to the closeStack event.

Re: New Xcode 4.3.1
Hi, Thanks for all the answers and I didn´t expect to generate such a debate about this issue. ;-) My previous version of Xcode was the 4.2 and I couldn´t find the 4.3 in the Apple developers site, as Mike suggests. So, I will keep my 4.2 files while waiting for the official LC solution. I hope it will work in the next LC version, isn't it ? When it is supposed to be released ?

AW: how to resize icons when resizing objects?
Hi Ken, hmmm, didn't thought about that yet. A button with it's predefined different states was the first choice. I have to test, if Terrys approach or using just images is more efficient.

OS X application ID
I am pondering about how a handler that is part of the development of an application that is being created and tested in the IDE might know about the eventual OS X application ID of that app. Where is the OS X application ID saved by the standalone application settings window?

Re: Text formatting for a slider
Hi Jim: The Inspector doesn't provide options for changing *every* possible property of objects. One could argue that it should, but doing so would likely consume a lot more screen real estate, so RunRev probably opted to show what they consider to be core properties.

And in the event of a crash, when you reboot, every app and document you had open will re-open (and you can't change that one). Regarding crashing, it doesn't crash often.

Re: App Rejected: Crash reports
Thanks again Dar :-) I am not using any external resource, other than LiveCode. The only external resource my app really uses is the data (csv files), the images (jpg files) and a couple of videos (mp4), which are all allocated in a web server. I also access and show a couple of websites, which are shown in a browser using iPhoneControls statements. When I use this iPhoneControls I always include a statement for deleting any iPhoneControls existing instance before opening a new one. Videos are also shown using iPhoneControls. I also use a very simple data picker, using iPhonePick. I will check the IDs and if everything is well protected for this kind of issues. How can I know if they are corrupted ? I also think there are certain probabilities that a crash can happen if the web server fails for any reason. I make several controls, for example, if a file is not found. But I cannot control if an image file is damaged or fails to load by a different reason. Also, I don't know how to control several iOS external events. For example, what happens if a phone call arrives while the data are loading ? What happens if an external iOS notification is shown ? I coudn't find any code for managing these kind of external events. Do they exist ?

Re: Text formatting for a slider
Yeah, but that displays all possible properties of any object. The properties property of an object gets you an array of properties for a specific object. Still a long list mind you, and not a complete list either according to the dictionary. I think you're probably right that it would make the inspector windows very unwieldy to include all properties. The problem is that by leaving some of them out, arbitrarily, it gives the impression that they aren't available, especially to new users. I remember when I first started using LC and wanted to set the behavior of an option menu button - there's no inspector window behavior field so I just assumed it wasn't possible for some reason and went down a different, much more complicated path. Seems like it would have been trivial to include one more option in the inspector option menu for All Properties or something similar. I ended up writing my own plugin to show all the properties of a selected object and allow me to change any of them.

Re: [OT] Battery slurping
Doesn't surprise me. I don't think knowing this will change people's attitudes towards ad driven apps though. Hopefully, someone will develop a better battery technology, and it won't be a problem anymore. Myself, I just ordered a Mophie Battery pack for my iPhone because it doesn't last as long as I like given the way I use it, and I do not play any games on it, and have very few ad enabled apps.

Re: Text formatting for a slider
Pete, Yes, my feeling exactly. It looks like there was a conscious effort to omit the foregroundColor for the slider (and scollbar as well). I was worried that it was to be deprecated. (I wasn't concerned about ALL the properties being in the Inspector. It is odd, however, that there is a place for the foreGroundColor property, an icon but no defining text, but no way to access it. I suspect RR got distracted while implementing the slider Inspector.) You might want to check out Richard's 4wProps (under the Development/Plugins menu). Easy access to all the properties. Occasionally I have found (legendary) Renaldi's SmartProperties invalueable. It allows one to compare side by side the properties to two objects. It is valuable in finding out why two, apparently identical, controls behave or look different.

using a special keyboard in livecode fields (in Windows 7)
Hi, guys. Here’s another Unicode-related question. How can I use a Unicode keyboard to type in a Livecode field? I’m working with an American Indian language (called Hocąk), and I need to be able to type characters such as š, ǧ and ąą. I can put them into a field with Unicode commands, but when I try and type in a field using the special keyboard (a system-level thing), the keyboard seems to be ignored. Is there some trick to this?
