Re: Windows Equivalents for Shell: cp (copy)

[Phil Davis]

From the dictionary:

   The rename command can be used to change a file's or folder's
   location only if the old and new locations are both on the same volume.

What alternatives do we have for basic shell commands on Windows?

anyone provide an alternative that works on Windows?

RevCopyFile (which works on Windows) doesn't offer the option to copy to a
different filename…

I suppose I can copy the file and then rename the copy at the new
destination, using "rename"  which is simple enough.

But I was wondering if there are any native windows alternatives to unix
"cp" that writes the same file to another file with a different name in
"one go."

on-rev SSL certificates

Godaddy has a well-deserved reputation as a bottom-feeder.
It looks like they issued an ssl certificate for ns1.on-rev.com.

On-rev, for their part, charge a ridiculous $99/yr for an ssl
certificate, which is why people get these from godaddy in the
first place.

Re: Windows Equivalents for Shell: cp (copy)

[[-hh]]

The interesting question about that is now:
What is in memory after
[1] save?
[2] save as?
[3] save copy as (not yet implemented)?

If I'm correct then it is ALWAYS the same, NOTHING is
changed in memory. Only with [2] the file on disk is
changed to which the object in memory links (and which
is used for the next save or revert command).

So we can use save and one or both of [2] or [3].
This yields of course different backup methods, but your
work goes on in any case with an unchanged object in memory.

For the record, they start with one, but it's quite weak.  Once Richard

the defaultFolder in standalones: Changed in 8

[Devin Asay]

I just noticed this change today as I was moving a project to LC 8.

On Mac OS X, in v. 7 and earlier when you saved a stack as a standalone, the 
defaultFolder would be set to the folder containing the .app bundle; e.g., 
/Users/me/myproject.

In v. 8 when you save a stack as a standalone the defaultFolder is set to the 
app bundle itself; e.g., /Users/me/myproject/mystack.app.

I have often used the pre-8 behavior to allow my standalone to easily access 
files in the enclosing folder. V. 8 breaks that functionality.

So is this a bug or a feature? I usually read the release notes pretty closely, 
but don’t remember reading about this change? It can potentially break lots of 
projects like it did mine. (Although I can pretty easily come up with a 
workaround.)

The main question is, was this an intentional change or a regression bug?

It wasn't, it's being proposed.

For now, the easiest way to make a backup stack is to use Mike's

I was hoping to see how the Dictionary describes that, but the
Dictionary entry for "save" doesn't seem to mention a "copy" option at all.

The syntax guide for "save" is:

  save stack [as filePath] [with format stackFormat |
 with newest format]

It does include this:

  Use the save command to save changes to a stack
  or to save a copy of a stack into another file.

...but it doesn't seem to offer any guidance on the syntax for copying.

It wasn't.

I was proposing that Brahmanathaswami might like to make an enhancement 
request!

There is no hard-wired limit beyond an address size of 4GB, which is

FWIW I once put the Bible into a field just to see how long it would

Re: Unicode character recognition by drawing

[Dar Scott]

put length ( numToCodepoint( 0xE ) ) 

gives me 

1

in 8.0.  

(BTW, I don't think 0xE is assigned.)

Thinking, as one does, Livecodewards I wonder why this doesn't seem to 
work (7.1.4):


put numToCodePoint(917504)

That should not cause any problems . . . but.

What is the LC-on-ios project?  Who made it?

Sounds like it might be a fun community project.  Very challenging, with 
the single-window limitation, but perhaps a rudimentary IDE could be 
made as a group that could be dynamically copied into a stack as needed.

Re: Unicode character recognition by drawing

[Richmond]

That's a clever piece of work.

I threw: Ж , ѭ, ह and छ at it, and the only one it got wrong was the 
last [Devanagari 'ccha']; pretty good


(well, better than Meatloaf in "Two out of three ain't bad."); 
unfortunately as my non-Latin writing systems are
limited to about 6 (Old Cyrillic, Glagolitic, Hebrew, Devanagari, 
Grantha, Greek) I cannot remark how the thing
might do with, say, either Chinese characters or Japanese Kanji, but I 
doubt it would do as well.


Let's hope somebody who knows those systems "has a go" and reverts here.

But, clever or not, one wonders what ultimate value that has embedded in 
a webpage.


Of course, if one could "winkle the thing out" and fold it into a 
Livecode stack I'd be the first one to
be having "spontaneous cough, cough, coughs" as I'm fairly bonkers about 
kinky writing systems.


Thanks, Mark; that cheered me up after a rather "non" day!

Richmond.

Especially with hardware like the Google Pixel C trying to let Android play

One of the first apps I built for Android was a script editor with a
"Execute script" button using the do command.  That allowed me to write and
test limited code that I could later use in the IDE.

Seems better to fix 64-bit than to try to fix an odd and 
soon-to-be-obsolete mish-mash of CPU architectures.


Is there a bug report for this?  I don't have Xubuntu set up here, but 
I do run Ubuntu and Lubuntu so maybe I can help pin down what's 
happening with that 64-bit version.

I use it in a bmpVrsn routine to increment the file name of my various

What I *want* to happen is or the old stack to end up out of memory, and

Yes, one can simply decide which one to use as backup.
I use it (similar in other apps) as follows.

Start with a stack fileName1. Then

save
save as fileName2

After these two lines fileName1 is the "backUp" and fileName2 is the
current exemplar for working. And so on.

Multiarch is a mess.  In addition to LC, Google Earth and others

If your system is 64-bit why not use the 64-bit build of LC?



Because the dictionary does not work.

Would be grateful for help here.

Trying to access the Livecode 8 dictionary again, again, again.


Hi Richmond,

Here are the steps I followed to get the LiveCode 8 dictionary working 
on Ubuntu 16.04.


1. Install Ubuntu 16.04 with default settings.
2. Install LiveCode for All Users with default settings
3. Start LiveCode
4. Click "Dictionary"

I just did this again, right now, just to make sure.

What are the differences between your system and a default Ubuntu 
installation?


I wish I knew, beyond the fact it is is Xubuntu.

The problem with "save as"  is that you end up working in the backup copy

Ubuntu's bash environment is available for Windows 10 now - here's how 
to get started:



Useful for many sysadmin tasks, but for just copying LC stack files from 
within the IDE the LC Script examples the others gave are probably 
simpler options.

Re: portrait upside-down (iOS)

[Randy Hengst]

Glad it worked. 

The settings are literally for setting the display when the user first starts 
the app… 

My, albeit, vague  understanding is that setting is used even before the 
startUp handler is executed. In other words, the setting for the time the 
splash screen is being displayed.

be well,
randy

Since you mentioned, as from your suggestion when I presented
my App "FlowReminder" at the LC Pitch your App, my ideal 
example would be:
- login (new and re-login) from inside the App
- once logged, the user is able to upload categorized files to
a web store, fixing their price with info details.
- also, inside the App, the user should be able to buy files of other
users and download them to the App. May be also to valuate them.

But, being a one man band, I may have to resort externally to
create such a web site.

Hi Richmond,

Here are the steps I followed to get the LiveCode 8 dictionary working 
on Ubuntu 16.04.


1. Install Ubuntu 16.04 with default settings.
2. Install LiveCode for All Users with default settings
3. Start LiveCode
4. Click "Dictionary"

I just did this again, right now, just to make sure.

What are the differences between your system and a default Ubuntu 
installation?

revVideoGrabber will still work iff you can get QuickTime installed and 
working.


QuickTime on Windows 8+ is quite crashy, and on Windows 10 is very 
crashy.  It's not a LiveCode issue, it's a QuickTime issue.

What does ATS mean for people using on-rev ?

I am not at all familiar with this subject, therefor
I have a couple of questions:

Will it be a per person thing, do I have to install a cert just for me ?
Or will LiveCode do this for all users ?
Or will this be implemented into the cPanel ?

This works:

  put  into tCopyPath
  put the effective filename of this stack into tCurrentPath
  set the filename of this stack to tCopyPath
  save this stack
  set the filename of this stack to tCurrentPath
  save this stack -- reset

Re: screen capture from LC as video?

[Terry Judd]

Thanks Hugh - my current proposed workflow includes developing a
Powerpoint Œtemplate¹, using LC to process and generate personalised audio
files and graphics from Œraw¹ assessment data, using LC to Œmerge¹ the
personalised graphics and audio files into copies of the Powerpoint
template file, and then using a 3rd party Powerpoint to video converter to
batch convert the individual Powerpoint files to videos. Anything that
could simplify and/or replace that process is certainly worth
investigating!

Best regards,
