Colours going all wrong in LC 6

RE: change orientation on just one card
No that is not the case... setting the setAllowedOrientations to a new configuration is sufficient... I have an example where viewing a map on a card in landscape... tapping the callout... the card rotates automatically to portrait when displaying the info on another card... all that has been done is to drop landscape from the allowed orientations...

LiveCode 6.1 dp 1 available
Hi all, I'm please to announce the release of LiveCode 6.1-dp-1. The installers and release notes can be found through the following link: http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/6_1_0/ You'll notice that we've moved to a single set of release notes, dropping the separate iOS, Android and Server notes. A lot of the information in those separate docs was better served being presented as a developers guide, with the main release notes being reserved for detailing changes in the current release cycle. The builds still contain the old iOS and Android release notes, but these will be removed in future releases. The new guides can be found here: http://livecode.com/developers/guides/mobile/ http://livecode.com/developers/guides/server/ A few new features and bug fixes have been included in this release. Notably, we've added support for chained behaviors and iOS remote control. As ever, see the release notes and the Quality Control Center for full details: http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/6_1_0/LiveCodeNotes-6_1_0_dp_1.pdf http://quality.runrev.com/buglist.cgi?target_milestone=6.1.0-dp-1 As part of the 6.1 release we also plan to revamp the community activation process. This update will be added to future DPs. Thanks, The LiveCode Team.

Default hiliteColor at fault?
Copied from elsewhere: it looks like the the window manager returns black as the default hilite colour. If the hilite colour were empty and LiveCode wouldn't make any adjustments to that, you would be unable to see if any text is selected. I think this is a bug in the window manager, not in LiveCode. To be sure, you'll have to report the bug and see what RunRev has to say about it.

6.1
Just read the release notes for 6.1, some nice stuff in there - I really like the new pageRange property. However, I'm not so happy about the properties changes, at least until I check them out and see exactly what the changes are. It sounds like the properties doesn't return all the properties it used to return, only those needed to recreate it. That's great for those who want to recreate an object by maybe not so great for folks who want to use it for other purposes. And it would be nice to get a bit more explanation of only returning the unicode variants if, and only if, they are needed.

Re: 6.1
I wrote a script which I ran in 6.1 that got the keys of the properties of the objects I mentioned then stored them in custom properties. Then I I loaded the stack in 5.5, got the keys of the properties again and stored them in a different set of custom properties. Finally, compared the two sets of cprops to get the differences. While not returning properties that aren't set may satisfy your needs, it certainly doesn't fill my requirements. It's always been impossible to get a full list of properties simply because some of them, and I don't mean derived ones, were omitted from the list for reasons, I assume, of oversight. So now those, or at least some of them have been included, but a whole bunch of others are not returned if they are not set. Can you perhaps see that plays havoc with any scripts that currently expect them to be returned, set or not? Not returning them simply because they are not set is a step backwards. If there is a need for that, then let's have another form of the properties that indicates that, perhaps, the working properties or the effective properties. Off to the QCC to file a bug report.

Of course the subsequent text is lost, though it could be saved somewhere. And I only dealt with the first line, since I hard coded the vertical dimension (12) of the click location.

RE: Android and iOS embedded fonts used in native browser control.
Paul,
Did you submit this as a bug or to support? If not I will do it using your
test stack, if that is OK with you?
Thanks

Hmmm... Played with your stack for a while today. Me thinks my QC guy
lied to me. I can't seem to get any fonts except for the standard web

tomorrow.Film at 11
Thanks for looking at this. Thought I was losing my mind. Isn't this a very
very common task ie. showing custom fonts in a web scroller in iOS and
Android? Seems like it should be!
FYI I tried some CSS stuff like adding this to the style sheet:
@font-face {
font-family: GROBOLD;
src: url('Fonts/GROBOLD.ttf');
}
Nada.
Kind regards, Paul.
