Re: using windows playback via livecode 8

2016-08-25 Thread J. Landman Gay
Thanks very much for this, Jeff. The user said she fixed it but what she 
wrote was pretty much gibberish so we don't know what she did. Something 
about changing her browser to Chrome -- only this app doesn't use a 
browser at all. My guess is that, because some of the internet settings 
are under the IE properties, she changed something there but it isn't at 
all clear.


Meanwhile, a few days later, we received another complaint from a 
Surface 2 user who also said they couldn't launch the app. We don't know 
what to tell him. I'm at a loss.


Any insight would be appreciated.

Yes, it does, thanks very much. The user said someone "set up the
system" for her and she didn't want to change the settings. Maybe that
was the problem, if there's some setting that forbids fallback to
32-bit. I have no idea what they changed, and she was a very naive user
who couldn't answer any questions.

Yes indeed… there’s *lots* of undocumented APIs in the IDE. At the moment as we 
go we are adding lcdoc comments to public APIs. At some point we will have done 
that enough to parse IDE libraries and generate an IDE dictionary. It is, 
however, a long row to hoe.

In the current implementation that's true, hence my request.

On the other hand, no one else seems to mind that those global 
properties are not being used, so if it's easier to ditch the props and 
use the scripted function it won't be the end of the world.


But if you do that, please add entries for the alternate functions, and 
include links in the Dict entries for scriptTextFont and scriptTextSize 
so anyone looking for those will know where to go.

They worked in the MC IDE, and IIRC in the Revolution IDE for a while as 
well.


Maybe what happened is that during the major Script Editor overhaul 
someone who wasn't familiar with the long history of those HyperTalk 
properties replaced them with scripted alternatives.


I like Panos' suggestion:

You'll also want to use those properties for any getters as well, given 
that they are global and perhaps settable by third-party plugins.

Something would need to subscribe to idePropertyChanged for those properties 
and update them but yes we could. However, if they are deprecated we would only 
be perpetuating their use by ensuring they are right. If someone wants to 
undeprecate them then most definitely this should be done but until then it 
would probably be better to recommend people use revIDEGetPreference.

If they are deprecated they may be removed so it might be time to move any code 
that depends on these to use revIDEGetPreference.

Thanks, Monte.

Any chance we can have the scriptTextFont and scriptTextSize global 
properties reinstated as the mechanism for that?


http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11596

The IDE used to support them,  and in my tests it seems they still work 
well once they're set, as least as far as holding their values during 
the session.


In addition to the Message Box and other IDE elements, having one-stop 
shopping for those makes life so much easier for third-party tools who 
want to display script-related things in the user's chosen font and size.

FYI I have also added the length check to non-binary strings to speed up 
comparisons of those where their length is greater than 383 also.

It could still be that the team tells me I’ve overlooked something here but it 
certainly makes sense to me to check that something is feasibly a number before 
attempting to parse it into one...

Why?

We here on this list know LiveCode well, and we know that we can craft 
excellent authoring tools with it.


But unless we spread the word, how can we expect the word to be spread?

Mike unfortunately the issue with script color printing on Mac is not just 
isolated to the IDE as it is color printing after setting the htmlText or 
styleText to something with color chunks. There appears to be a workaround as 
selecting a chunk and setting its color from the menu works fine but I haven’t 
had time to document that yet. I do not want to use workarounds in the IDE so I 
spent a day trying to find where the issue is and I couldn’t get a handle on it 
so I had to move on so we will need to revisit it for 8.1.1. As far as I can 
tell the colors are getting to the graphics context during printing but being 
lost somewhere there… somehow… But I’m the noob around here so perhaps I just 
don’t get this rather curly bit of the engine yet…

Cheers

Yes, there are many thousands of tools lists across the web, and it's 
always good to add LC to those when we come across them.


But I don't understand the "howl" - was your nominating LC to that one 
rejected?

Thanks.

I am aware of that: http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=6=27829

I am fairly handy at mucking around with (and mucking up) components of 
the IDE.


However there are lots of end-users, and lots more potential end-users 
(especially if I get
my wicked way and get my book out to push Livecode as an authoring 
environment for teachers)
who either don't know how to do that sort of thing, or don't have the 
time and/or motivation to
learn that. For them a settings pane in the IDE Preferences would be 
very good indeed.

Richmond.. Short term you can do this..

set the textsize of field "message" of card "single line" of stack "message
box" to 18
set the textsize of field "results" of card "single line" of stack "message
box" to 18
set the textsize of field "message" of card "multiple lines" of stack
"message box" to 18
set the textsize of field "results" of card "multiple lines" of stack
"message box" to 18

Makes it considerably easier for my aging eyes to see.

Re: [ ANN ] Release 8.1.0 RC-1

2016-08-25 Thread Richmond

Colourising the messageBox is marvellous . . .

But it would be even more marvellous if one could set
the font and the font size for the messageBox like one can the scriptEditor.

Personally I find the teeny-weeny font size in the messageBox a bother: 
and I have had the font in the

scriptEditor set to 18 for the last 10 years.

Re: [ ANN ] Release 8.1.0 RC-1

2016-08-25 Thread Richmond

At the risk of sounding very stupid indeed . . .

I installed 8.1.0 rc 1 and typed this into the Message Box:

put 5 into AA
add 1 to AA
put AA

and saw no colourisation at all. What did I do wrong?

Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit.

Richmond.

Hi Matt - I got rid of the ugh red error popups a while back by uninstalling 
and reinstalling Atom (I suspect the linter plugin was the culprit…)

Re: [ ANN ] Release 8.1.0 RC-1

@Peter:

You are right, this should read:

"On Windows, the default value of the global dontUseQt and dontUseQtEffects
properties has changed **from false to true**.

Regarding OSX:

- If OS X version >= 10.8 then dontUseQT=true
- If LC engine == 64 bit then  dontUseQT=true

Re: [ ANN ] Release 8.1.0 RC-1

2016-08-25 Thread Peter Bogdanoff

>From the release notes:

"On Windows, the default value of the global dontUseQt and dontUseQtEffects 
properties has changed from true to false. This means that by default players 
created on Windows will use the DirectShow API for multimedia playback.”

The second sentence seems to contradict the first?

On OSX, QuickTime is unable to be supported in 64 bit builds the default value 
of the global dontUseQT and dontUseQTEffects properties changed in version 6.7; 
it is true on OS X version 10.8 and up, or on all versions of OS X if the 
engine is 64 bit. This means that any player object created will use the 
AVFoundation API for multimedia playback.

I can’t seem to figure out what the first sentence is saying. :(  I would like 
to!

Re: Very OT - Bad pun

I once knew a bloke whose family name was Cholmondley-Featherstonehaugh,
which was pronounced: 'chumley - fanshawe'.

Mind you with a name as posh as that one would have to be a bit careful 
if one described

him as a 'bloke'.

Re: Atom Issues

Here is a partial fix for the autocomplete issues.
Settings->Packages->Autocomplete-plus  Then find "Keymap for confirming a
suggestion" and change it to tab, and uncheck "Automatically Confirm Single
Suggestion"

Nice to hear that, Mike. The 8.1 RC1 release is great IMO, because apart
from 80+ bug fixes,  it contains a lot of enhancement requests, including
keyboard navigation in the Project Browser, script colorization in the msg
box and some more:

Re: Performance issues LC8 versus earlier versions.

2016-08-25 Thread Alex Tweedly

On 25/08/2016 04:23, Monte Goulding wrote:

Hi Alex

To avoid breaking the behavior of octal to decimal number comparison if they 
both happen to be in a binary string at the time of comparison I didn’t think 
it was a good plan to leave that binary comparison check above the number 
check… however, I think I’ve come up with a better solution anyway. When 
converting binary strings to numbers the engine first encodes it as native 
encoded string then parses the bytes to work out if they are a valid number. 
What I’ve done is first check if the binary data is longer than can be 
converted to a number and then stop trying to convert it to a number there. It 
is about 10 times faster for your use case as far as I can tell. Unfortunately 
it won’t make 8.1.0.



That is wonderful - thanks Monte.
btw - I opened a bug report to keep track of it, and so you'd have 
somewhere to hang the change on to - 18254


Thanks again
Alex.
