Re: JSON library

[Peter Haworth]

Thanks Ali, that fixed it.  I'ma little surprised I didn't get a runtime
error in the standalone though - shouldn't it have choked on the jsonImport
command?

LC8 Standalone field sizes.

[Peter Haworth]

I'm seeing a slight difference in the width of fields required to hold a
given amount of text in the LC8 IDE and LC8 standalone.

Using one field as an example, I displayed the effective font, size, and
formatted width in the IDE and in the standalone.  The font/size were
Helvetica Neue/14 in both cases but the formatted width is 128 in the IDE
and 138 in the standalone so the text is chopped off in the standalone.

Anyone else seeing this?

Very Funny!!

But if it followed VW's lead there should be better performance with less

Re: LC8 Standalone field sizes.

[Peter Bogdanoff]

I saw that when moving my application from LC 6 to LC 7, Helvetica was 
displaying wider.

My bug report on the issue had this reply:

"Unfortunately when we moved to Cocoa we were forced to move to use CoreText 
rather than the (now ancient) QuickDraw APIs for drawing text. The metrics of 
certain fonts when rendered with CoreText are different from that of QuickDraw 
and as a result, you will see a difference when jumping from < 6.7 to >= 6.7.”

But I have no knowledge why you get varied results within LC 8.

Re: LC8 Standalone field sizes.

[Peter Haworth]

Thanks Peter, I remember that happening too.  This is a little different
since it involves different formattedwidth in the same version of LC
depending on whether the stack is run in the IDE or in a standalone.  I
guess I should file a bug report.

Currently, you will need to use `load extension` to load the appropriate 
`.lcm` file(s).

Re: Special Paste

[Peter M. Brigham]

I don't know, does it? I'm a relative troglodyte, as I work in 5.5 mostly, but 
I don't see why it wouldn't work in later versions. With the newer additions to 
the language there are probably other ways to accomplish the task.

Re: JSON library

[Ali Lloyd]

Hi Peter,
The JSON library is an extension and so you need to include it manually (at
least at the moment) - you'll need to select com.livecode.library.json in
the Copy Files pane of the standalone settings.

RE: ios custom URL scheme

[John Dixon]

Hi Terry...

Thank you for your reply...

The custom URL scheme works fine... though getting it to work was a little 
confusing as I started of using something like myscheme://, when the text 
message arrived on the phone the 'double slashes' were not part of the 
clickable link... After reading other peoples experiences with this, the 
solution is just to give the customURL a parameter so that the slashes become 
part of the link... as in myscheme://open ... then everything is good... :-)

An aside to Jacque Landman-gay... Sorry, looks like your 'fears' have been 
realised... as it works like a charm...:-(

Mobile Orientation

[Ralph DiMola]

If a mobile device is in portrait the do mobileSetAllowedOrientations 
"landscape left,landscape right" then
iOS phone will force screen rotation to landscape.
iOS iPad and Android do not.
Does any know if this is a bug or a limitation on iPads and Androids?

FYI: Even if the user has his iPhone locked into portrait a 
mobileSetAllowedOrientations "landscape left,landscape right" will force the 
iPhone into landscape. Then even a mobileSetAllowedOrientations 
"portrait,landscape right,portrait upside down,landscape left" will not turn 
the screen and the device is stuck in landscape. You have to do a 
mobileSetAllowedOrientations "portrait,portrait upside down" FIRST to rotate 
the screen back to portrait.

Mobile Resizestack handler possible bug

[Ralph DiMola]

ONLY on iOS if you do a:

put URL ("https://xx.on-rev.com/service/SomeScript.lc?function=) into 
Str2

while in a resize stack handler the app locks up. I think this is a bug and 
will put together a QCC report unless anyone knows if this is a limitation of 
iOS.

Re: Mobile Resizestack handler possible bug

[David Bovill]

Resize handlers are called repeatedly with every fraction of a move - if
you out slow code inside them (like fetching a blocking url) then it jams
up.
