Re: LC Server Unable To Retrieve File From DropBox?
Not quite the test I was suggesting the dropbox url uses https: and for your own url you used http: It would be worth getting another url using https: to see if the server has a problem with the secure http - or whether it is specific to dropbox; even just https://google.com should do. It would be even better if you have a zip file somewhere behind a secure url - but I can't think of one you could try. -- Alex. On 18/12/2014 05:11, Scott Rossi wrote: Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: LC Server Unable To Retrieve File From DropBox?
Thanks for the response Alex. I don’t believe the secure URL is the issue, because the file can be retrieved from a browser using both the secure and standard forms, but both forms return 0 in the LC server test script. In fact, I usually use the standard form in all my download URLs to avoid potential problems like you suggest. But since DropBox uses a secure URL by default, I used that in the test code.

Installer advice needed
This is not exactly about LiveCode but it's not OT either, I think. I am seeking an economical way of having an installer (or two installers) for a cross-platform LiveCode standalone - desktop, Windows and Mac. I have tried to use Mark Schonewille's LC-oriented solution but I can't make it work. So far my researches (Google mostly) seem to point to very expensive solutions intended for high volume sales. As I have no idea what sales volume to expect (it will be in the range zero to 1000!), this type of solution is not for me. What do other people do? Can one get away without an installer as long as one has gone through the very daunting (to me) code-signing process on the two platforms? This didn't used to matter, either on Windows or Mac, and I have products out there where the installation 'just works', but increasingly it seems that the OSs are expecting a proper installing process. I see that this may be quite a big subject, but I am too ignorant to be sure. Can anyone point me to a sensible discussion on this topic, hopefully with recommendations as to the way to go?

Graham, for Windows i am using Monte´s InstallGadget which is based on innosetup, but much easier to use.

Livecode 7.0 Can't Play Video
When I do the following on my Mac OSX 10.7.1 running Quicktime 7.7.1 I hear the audio but I can't see the video. I drag a player object to a new main stack and change the source from the Livecode's Sample.mov file to Apple's Sample_iPod.m4v movie or any other .m4v file. Playing it gives me audio but no video. If I choose the edit tool in Livecode while the movie is play suddenly video plays. Return to Livecode's browse tool and video stops while audio continues. This is no problem at all in Livecode 6.5.2 using the same platform, same system and same Quicktime version. It's also no problem on my Windows 8.1 system in either version of Livecode. Is this really a bug or am I missing something?

Re: Installer advice needed
Thanks Matthias and Tiemo for good advice. I have had a look at DropDMG which looks very suitable for making a good-looking Mac version as suggested. Again, I’m also looking at Monte’s InstallGadget which looks very promising. In answer to Tiemo’s query What are your problems with installer maker? I had some issues relating to the Windows side of things, of which the killer was an error (141,546,30) which relates to some decompression issue. As I wasn’t using the Compression option in the installer I found this puzzling but so far have not found an explanation. There was another problem with the license document, where I couldn’t get the program to accept my version rather than the default stub. All this happened nearly two months ago, and I may have forgotten some of the details, but that’s an outline. Anyway thanks again. I must start to bite the codesigning bullet (groan).

DB allows you to create an old-style Public folder if you don't already have one but they hide the information pretty well on their site. If you think this may be related to your problem and you don't yet have a Public folder, I can try to find the link for you.

Re: LC Server Unable To Retrieve File From DropBox?
Thanks Jacque. The frustrating thing is this all of this used to work without any issue. I don’t know if the problem is because of something DropBox changed, a server update by my web host (DreamHost), or my update to the 64 bit version of LC server. Simon Smith says he can access the test file from his pre 6.7 version of LC server, so the problem would seem to be my host or LC 6.7. Even then, accessing the file works fine on the 6.7 desktop, so I’m at a loss. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On Dec 18, 2014, at 10:05 AM, J.

Re: Installer advice needed
I'm using Inno Setup on Windows. It's free and customizable. When I get stumped on configuring it, there seems to be a lot of info out there by doing a quick Google search. I also use the KSoft certificates, which seem to be reasonably priced. The process of getting your certificate can be a few days as they want to make sure you're legit. One thing they wanted was my phone number listed with one of the big online directories. I did that then it took a while before it would show up in a search. Then they call you at that number as part of the process. If your phone is already published somewhere you may be OK. Mine wasn't. KSoft has a signing app too that works great and the whole process can be configured in Inno Setup if you're using that. On Mac I've been using App Wrapper. Great app, great support. Sometimes I make my own installers for Mac just using a Livecode app with my app zipped and stored in a custom property. One thing I have run into are people who've switched from PC to Mac. They don't always get disk images and will run the app off the disk image. Then think the app got deleted when the disk image is dismounted. I finally started putting a check in the startup routine to see where the app is running from and then alerting the user that it isn't installed correctly if it's from the disk image.

plugin stack automatically saving in new file format
I have a custom plugin stack that I use to quickly open frequently used stacks. It has a “save this stack” command in its closeStack handler. If I’m working in LC 7.0+ the stack is saving with the new file format, and therefore won’t open in pre-7.0 versions of LiveCode. I though once a stack was saved in a legacy format, it would stay in that format. Is that not the case? Is there any way to prevent the file format change when saving a stack?

Re: plugin stack automatically saving in new file format
There is a preference that says to preserve stack file format, but i'm not sure if it applies when a stack is saving itself. (seems like it should, but hey, you never know). The best way to avoid this is to set the stackfileversion to what you want, right before the save. Theres an example of this in the dictionary entry. Basically, it saves the current stackfileversion to a variable, sets the stackfileversion to the version you wish to save as, saves the stack, then resets the stackfileversion.

Offline usage of Linux LC-Python browser
A number of you have recently downloaded the Linux LC-Python Browser demo available at: http://www.howsoft.com/runrev/extensions/ (If you have visited this page recently, and you now see no changes - i.e. the old version is still in the browser cache - then please refresh the page.) The version you downloaded demonstrates on-line usage by navigating to a web page on the Internet. However, perhaps an even more common usage of an embedded browser is to display OFF-line web pages that are not on the Internet, e.g. when building a Help data base. Hence, there is now a second demo for download on the extensions page which demonstrates such off-line usage. The little fly in the ointment solved by the new demo is that to call an off-line web page in Python, you have to supply an absolute (complete) URL path in the script, even when the web page is in the same folder as the script (as in the demo), e.g: view.open(file:///home/bob/Desktop/_Proj_2014_V/Demos and Experiments/Python Browser Demo OFFLINE ONLY/demo/webpage.htm) Statements like this do NOT work: view.open(webpage.htm) view.open(file://webpage.htm) view.open(file:///webpage.htm) The additional off-line demo therefore obtains the current defaultFolder (the program/webpage folder) and updates each Python script with it before it is fired. ___ 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: LC Server Unable To Retrieve File From DropBox?
Sadly, all the HTTPS/SSL stuff appears to be enabled (looking at phpinfo) and the chat support dude said “beyond our scope” so I’m not sure how to explain the problem to them, other than referring them to an output page. This server stuff gets quite tiresome. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On Dec 18, 2014, at 5:34 PM, J. Landman Gay jac...@hyperactivesw.com wrote: Yay, progress.

You can do that with: set the errorMode to inline Then if there are actual errors happening, they'll show up in the browser too. If you aren't using a browser to trigger the server script, the output will show up wherever you're calling the script from, like the message box or whatever.

Scaling images and printing...
I have a problem with scaling images and printing. I have the following portion of code where tObj is an image and tPrecent is a number from 5 to 400. It's purpose is to scale an image to a % scale factor the user entered and it does so. put the fileName of tObj into tFile set the filename of tObj to empty set the fileName of tObj to tFile set the alwaysbuffer of tObj to true put the loc of tObj into tLoc set the width of tObj to (the width of tObj * (tPercent/100)) set the height of tObj to (the height of tObj * (tPercent/100)) --set the imagedata of tObj to the imagedata of tObj -- to fix the size for printing set the loc of tObj to tLoc If I then print the card with the image on it, the image is printed at it's original size rather than the scaled size. If I added the commented line set the imagedata of tObj to the imagedata of tObj back in to fix the size of the image to the scaled size, card prints with the image at the scaled size. Yea! However, with the set the imagedata of tObj to the imagedata of tObj line in the script, if the user resizes again, so the code above is called with a different scaling factor, the image vanishes (or appears to). The intent of the lines: put the fileName of tObj into tFile set the filename of tObj to empty set the fileName of tObj to tFile was to set the image back to its original size each time before scaling so that the scaling would always be against the original image size (not against it;s currently scaled size). Is there a better way to allow users to rescale an image from it's original size and still fix its size for printing? ___ 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

Somebody here should know, we have some savvy server folks. Unfortunately I'm not one of them, but maybe someone will take pity...start sobbing really loud.

Found this: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/faq.html#curl_1_SSL_is_disabled_https The copy of libCurl wasn't built with support for https. (That sounds kind of unlikely for a hosting company.) But maybe it's something simpler: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6884669/curl-1-protocol-https-not-supported-or-disabled-in-libcurl Which involves a spurious space or other typo in a URL. A couple of other links mention having 2 copies of libCurl in the path, and the wrong one getting triggered. -- 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: LC Server Unable To Retrieve File From DropBox?
Scott and Jacque I believe that LiveCodeServer includes a version of LibCurl and it looks likley to be the cause of the problem. I only have the latest RC version of LiveCode to hand so it may be worth trying my test script out of the version you are running. I ran this script with LiveCodeServer: #Start Code #!livecode set the outputLineEndings to lf put the Version return put http: the number of words of URL http://bbc.co.uk; put return put https: the number of words of URL https://github.com; put return #End Code and got this: #Start Output 7.0.1-rc-4 http: 4407 https: 0 #End Output I then ran the same code modified to run in the message box: #Start Code put the Version return into tTemp put http: the number of words of URL http://bbc.co.uk; after tTemp put return after tTemp put https: the number of words of URL https://github.com; after tTemp put return after tTemp put tTemp #End Code and got this: #Start Output 7.0.1-rc-4 http: 4407 https: 1068 #End Output If you can confirm this I will file a bug report.
