Thanks for the thought Andrew, but I just installed the very latest version of LC ( 6.1.1 rc 6) and the problem is still there.

I didn't do this, so how did it happen? This stuff is under development and at this stage I have no interest in protecting any scripts. I have another mainstack where this doesn't happen. The only obvious difference between the two is that the anomalous one has to be opened with messages suppressed to stop it running a script when it loads - I then switch messages back on as soon as the stack shows up. Not sure if this difference is meaningful, since even when I don't suppress messages, the substacks are still locked. Tried the same thing in LC 5.5.4 (the oldest version of LC I have on my machine) and nothing is locked. I have not been using LC for a bit - did I miss something?

RE: Livecode and iOS 7
OK I may have jumped the gun but it's still a little weird. I could not install the dev version because the app was still installing from the iStore(see below) 1) In App Store I can find the app. 2) The upper right button usually says Free if clicked then changes to Install. Now that button has a picture of a gray cloud with a blue down arrow where the Free button used to be. 3) If you click on the cloud it then changes to a blue circle with square in the middle and a bar moves around the perimeter to indicate the download % the app(I guess). THEN I get the Open button. Never is there an install or free button. 4) Other apps(at least the few I looked at) still have a free button and when clicked instantly changes to the install button. 5) IF you install a dev version after deleting the iTunes version (or vice-versa), The icon of the iPad is the Large Application Icon from iTunes connect until first launch of the app then the icon changes to the standalone setting icon.

Yeah, that pretty closely matches our situation. In our case we're looking at (ugh) Outlook PST archives. We need something that will figure out the deltas and get individual messages from the archives without multiple copies of huge files, so binary diff is essential. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net ___ 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 -- Regards, Andrew Kluthe and...@ctech.me ___ 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

Unwanted password protection
I'm feeling stupid, but I don't understand this: I'm using LC 6.1.1 (rc 4) on a Mac with Lion 10.7.5. I just opened a stack which I haven't opened for a couple of months, and I find that the scripts of all of its substacks and their cards are password protected - the mainstack isn't. I didn't do this, so how did it happen? This stuff is under development and at this stage I have no interest in protecting any scripts. I have another mainstack where this doesn't happen. The only obvious difference between the two is that the anomalous one has to be opened with messages suppressed to stop it running a script when it loads - I then switch messages back on as soon as the stack shows up. Not sure if this difference is meaningful, since even when I don't suppress messages, the substacks are still locked. Tried the same thing in LC 5.5.4 (the oldest version of LC I have on my machine) and nothing is locked. I have not been using LC for a bit - did I miss something?

Re: Facebook authorisation on iOS
Mark, thanks. I've pretty much come to the same conclusion - I got it to work but it was slow and unreliable :) I'll roll my own email-based authentication method, I think. Gerry — Sent from Mailbox for iPad On Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 1:41 AM, Mark Wilcox m_p_wil...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Hi Gerry, I don't know how Andre Garcia's library works but assume it's not using an external that wraps the Facebook SDK for iOS. From painful personal experience I'd advise against any attempt to access Facebook other than through the official SDKs or platform native interfaces (e.g. for sharing on iOS). I'd also suggest avoiding using the web/JavaScript SDK unless you're building a web app. Facebook has a move fast and break things culture and they regularly break their APIs. When you're using an official SDK (even wrapped) you share the pain with everyone else and it usually gets fixed very quickly. If you've got some community generated solution with a minimal number of users then you're almost on your own and every time it breaks you need to rush through an update to your app to fix it. Not even slightly fun. My experience came through trying to integrate with Facebook via native apps on platforms they don't provide official SDKs for - it was a mandatory requirement from the client and I didn't have a choice. If you have any other choice - take it. Either go down the external route or just don't use Facebook auth. FWIW, this is almost unique to Facebook, we didn't have similar problems integrating with other services.

Re: Livecode and iOS 7
Yes, this is how iOS 7 works now. If an app has been previously purchased/installed from the app store, it will become available in the cloud. In other words, it's downloadable again even if it's deleted from the device (actually, the app store has worked this way for a long time now; it just looks a little different under iOS 7). Anyway, the little cloud icon with the arrow pointing down simply indicates that it has already been purchased and can be downloaded and installed again. If the button says Free, that means it hasn't been previously purchased/installed.

I could not install the dev version because the app was still installing from the iStore(see below) 1) In App Store I can find the app. 2) The upper right button usually says Free if clicked then changes to Install. Now that button has a picture of a gray cloud with a blue down arrow where the Free button used to be. 3) If you click on the cloud it then changes to a blue circle with square in the middle and a bar moves around the perimeter to indicate the download % the app(I guess). THEN I get the Open button. Never is there an install or free button. 4) Other apps(at least the few I looked at) still have a free button and when clicked instantly changes to the install button. 5) IF you install a dev version after deleting the iTunes version (or vice-versa), The icon of the iPad is the Large Application Icon from iTunes connect until first launch of the app then the icon changes to the standalone setting icon.

Of course most of those could be done by your phone. But apart from my wedding ring, my watch is the *only* thing that goes everywhere with me - even the phone gets either accidentally left behind (or mislaid) sometimes, and it does occasionally get left behind deliberately. Having a watch that could replace 85% of the function (even if only 50% of the convenience) would make it possible to leave it behind more often.
