Re: What was that thing with Photoshop images?
Ok, Still, why do I care to give them unique names (or group them) when I'm just going to delete them milliseconds later in the same handler?

I was trying to show alternate means of dealing with that situation without having to resort to the confusion of having multiple controls with identical names. What I meant to suggest was 1) instead of naming all the graphics temp, name them temp1, temp2, tempSomething... and then you can delete all of them by the same method without having to give them duplicate names. 2. grouping the temporary controls you are going to want to delete. Then you can delete them all just by deleting the group itself. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net javascript:; ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com javascript:; Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode -- Chipp Walters CEO, Altuit, Inc. ___ 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
Old versions of RR/LC and old computers?
So, here I am in Britain for a visit with my Mum and Dad, and doing a spot of work on my Tray-loading G3 iMac running Mac OS 10.3.9; and it does just exactly all that I need However, this machine cannot be used with versions of RR/LC later than 4.0 [not really a big problem as far as I am concerned as I own RR 4.0], and I was wondering (again) why, whenever Runtime Revolution produce a new version of LC they stop making earlier versions available, and for sale. This may seem like a daft question until you reflect on several things: The world is swimming in old computers that are, supposedly outdated [as far as I know this G3 iMac was made about 14 years ago], that can be reused in all sorts of places [especially on the educational front] and for children at home to learn programming on. Currently I have a Pentium II running FreeDOS with the GEM GUI that I use for helping kids with PASCAL. I have another Pentium II running Damn Small Linux [the developer of DSL has woken up and is recommencing development after a 4 year break] that I am going to see about using with versions of RR/LC. Early versions of RR/LC, while not being as jazzy and capable as more current versions are very good for many types of in-house software development, as well as for teaching purposes. I belive that were RunRev to market early versions of RR/LC at cut-down prices they would make some money, not detract from their sales of up-to-date versions, and do a lot of people a good service.

Re: Fast Way to get a Path to files in thumbnail folders
How about setting the item delimiter to / and using chunk operations, instead of regex? (Not that it would be hard to use regex, but generally LC code is even easier) On 2012-08-11, at 11:57 PM, Brahmanathaswami bra...@hindu.org wrote: I'm working on catalog delivery system in our new web site. one of the media types is slideshow and we have a path that we can programatically build from the database data that knows what year the photos were taken and has a file ID that match the folder on disk... After that we also know that the thumbnail/image we want for a gallery/catalog view is going to be in a folder call preview We also really don't care which thumbnail we use for the catalog, So of course we could do something like this on a repeat loop put /media/slideshows/ tYear / tFileID /preview into tThumbsFolder set the defaultfolder to tThumbsFolder= put line 1 of the files into tGalleryThumb # then create small function to build the image tag: put format (img src=\ tThumbsFolder /preview/ tGalleryThumb \ / into tGalleryImage and then push that in the table. That's pretty obvious But I've had trouble in the past with repeatedly with resetting the default folder on a loop like this and it seems like a lot of disk reading when we really don't care which file we use and we also a) know there will always be one and b) it always ends in *.jpg I am wondering if there is some reg-ex magic that I could use to just read the first file in say this folder: /media/slideshows/2008/2008-01-08_cambodia/preview/*.jpg where by I can avoid having to repeatedly reset the defaultfolder and get the files i suppose I could use a shell cmd but if you use something like /media/slideshows/2008/2008-01-08_cambodia/preview/*.jpg in a shell you will get all the files in the folder and not just the first one.

Is it possible that Paypal does not get this URL for post-processing the transaction from you and that is what it complains about?

I've now run this on the same computer (OS X Snow Leopard) same stack, same data using 5.0.2 and 5.5.1 and the different behavior still persists. If I step through the code in 5.5.1, I can see the image shift down when the line of code that sets the textshift executes. Stepping through with 5.0.2, the image doesn't move when the same line is executed. I've also had a tester report the same issue with and earlier version of LC (4.5) I guess some other property could be affecting the behavior but there's something different happening in 5.0 and 5.5. The text is Verdana 10 with a line height of 18. The images are 16x16. Any suggested areas of investigation most welcome, or even any alternative ways to do this. I wonder if it's related to the field rewrite in 5.5. If the stack was made in 5.5 and saved in legacy format, the field may not be exactly the same as it would have been earlier. You might be able to test that by opening it in an earlier version and doing a save as, which would rewrite the file in the earlier format. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.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: Problem with textshift
Good thought Jacque but unfortunately no joy. It was a stack saved in Legacy (2.7) format but opening it in 5.0, then Save As..., then opening the saved version in 5.0 didn't fix the problem. I'm wondering if I can work around whatever the problem is by putting a 4 pixel transparent border at the top of the icon and not setting the textshift. I think I should probably submit this as a bug since I can easily attach the stack. Seems like it works of other folks but obviously there's something in my stack that causes it to not work.
