Re: Reveal in Find on Windows

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

Just remembered, you can bipass the shell call entirely..

launch document sRootFolder -- native lc command.  Just need to do as I
mentioned and be sure its a folder you're dealing with. (otherwise it will
launch the apropos app to match the file type)

It will probably work for both platforms. (my mac is down or I'd check
there)

Re: Reveal in Find on Windows

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

I can't test it on mac, but 2 things. First, if your path is a folder but
doesn't have the trailing / you'll end up in the wrong place so you might
consider doing a check:
if there is a file sRootFolder then delete item -1 of sRootFolder

Then for the windows segment use "start":

put ("start " & sRootFolder) into tShell  -- also noted there is a typo,
you use tRootfolder rather than sRootfolder in your example above

I _think_ start is available all the way down to xp, but I can't check to
make sure.

Re: Reveal in Find on Windows

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

this is what I have so far…

command openWorkingFolderInFinder pFolderFile
set the itemdel to "/"
put pFolderFile into sRootFolder
delete item -1 of sRootFolder
switch platform()
case "MacOS"
put ("open " & quote & sRootFolder & quote) into tShell
break
case "Win32"
put ("explorer.exe /n/root," & tRootfolder) into tShell
break   
end switch
get shell(tShell)
end openWorkingFolderInFinder

Can anyone test if this opens a folder on Windows?

It may be the difference in the character sets for each platform. If you 
always develop on a Mac, use macToISO() on the character when the 
platform is win32. LC usually does the conversion by itself, but if you 
are populating the list from a custom property, the script has to do it.


If you aren't using a custom property then I'm not sure why it isn't 
translating. Is the list coming from somewhere outside LC? If so, 
textDecode() should work.

I just found, after trying to open a stack from the project browser, that
preOpenCard is not called when the stack is opened this way, whereas it is

Is this correct behavior?

I believe if you are editing a script only stack script in the IDE then
saving the script will update the script only stack file on disk. So the
file will remain a text file. Integrating with github is more about using
script only stacks than which editor you choose.

That means scripts in a Levure app can be edited with the IDE editor. I
just find it takes me less time to add features and fix bugs in a large
project when working in Sublime Text which is why I use it.

That makes good sense. A mothership sanctioned powerful external editor, with

Absolutely.  No development environment could claim to be integrated 
without including such an essential components.


I'm not suggesting we make people hunt for their own components.  I'm 
wondering if it makes sense to officially embrace external editors, for 
both utility and cost savings.

Apologies that I didn't wrote more clearly.

In all my communications on this I've tried to stress that a good editor 
be bundled with the LC install.


But if that editor were external, then the IDE needs only one interface 
for managing not only the included editor, but any other editor anyone 
might want to use.


Out of the box there's an experience at least as good as what we have 
now, and with the click of a Prefs button users could also choose any 
other editor they prefer.

I agree with Roger,
There needs to be a useful script editor bundled with livecode. I'm suspecting 
that a lot of the impetus for sublime text and other external editors has to do 
with professional developers' need to use github with script only stacks. For 
entry level users, the built in editor would be their first exposure and 
perhaps sufficient. 

I also suspect that folks new to programming, or non-professionals might be a 
target too good to "not" keep on our good side.

Re: Script Editor fixable? (was: Configuring a Sublime Text project to notify LiveCode IDE about updates to script only stacks)

[Roger Eller via use-livecode]

I'm fine with a different editor, as long as it is "in the box".  I don't
want to be forced into adding components from other sites unless I choose
to, like plugins, etc.  The IDE should install as a complete thing (editor
included).

2 cents.

I assumed the same as you but didn't look it up. Good idea about what to 
say - thanks Bob!

Options are good.  I'm wondering if perhaps we could embrace that more 
fully.


The SE is a very expensive component to maintain.  If we could replace 
it with a third-party editor, and put a fraction of the time we used to 
spend maintaining and enhancing the SE into providing a mechanism to use 
any editor the user prefers, we'd have a better editor in the box and 
vast options for using other editors, and save development expense along 
the way.

Richard,

Like Roger I think both solutions are useful depending on user preference.
I would guess that a large number of LiveCode users are happy with the
current editor. Iterating on the one that ships with LC is probably in the
best interest for those users. Keeping everything within LC is definitely a
smoother new user experience.

Personally I don’t expect the LC team to create a script editor that meets
all of my needs. They don’t have enough resources to create an editor that
matches a product like Sublime Text. Sublime Text is an app dedicated
entirely to editing. There are thousands of people contributing tools to
Sublime Text. In addition to the general feature, there is the added bonus
that I can work on my company apps that are created using Ruby on Rails,
Ember, Salesforce, etc. For me using the same editor for all projects is a
big productivity boost.

Great. You will see the error message in the horizontal pane along the
bottom of the window. You can use CMD + CONTROL + A  to navigate to the
next error in the script.

Re: Null symbol cross platform

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

Frankly I would just take a look at the Unicode convention's guff:

U+2205 is a sort of "O" with a slanted line through it:

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2205/index.htm

http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2200.pdf

If you stare at this PDF long enough you might get a free trip without 
having to reach for the LSD!


This is NOT really the problem. What is the problem is whether the stuff 
"under the hood" in your operating system recognises U+2205 as the null 
set character or not.


I would suggest the "quickest route to heaven" is to ask Microsoft and 
Apple directly.


This would seem to suggest that Windows has not jettisoned all its 
pre-Unicode bumf: 
http://superuser.com/questions/61742/how-to-insert-a-null-character-ascii-00-in-notepad


While ASCII 00 may result in a null set character being inserted in some 
Windowsy code, it may not

be displayed as the "happy" slashed zero.

Richmond.

Re: [ANN] About the conference in Antwerp

[Mark Schonewille via use-livecode]

Hi,

Please note: today is the last possibility to register for the eHUG 
International Mini Conference on LiveCode in Antwerp, Belgium.


I have updated the website. Please go to
http://economy-x-talk.com/conf/

We're still looking for speakers. If you want to share your ideas or are 
looking for advice, this is your opportunity.


We're expecting people from the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and 
Switzerland. Given the current location, Antwerp, this conference is an 
ideal opportunity to meet with other LiveCode programmers, if you're in 
the North of France. Please, consider participating.


The website uses PayPal to handle the registration fee. If this isn't a 
good option for you, contact me. Got any more questions? Just send me an 
e-mail.


Kind regards,

Hello,

Next week is the 'eHUG International Mini Conference on LiveCode'. The
conference will take place on 25th February from 13:00h. until 18:00h.
The conference room is open from 12:00h. The location is the Ibis hotel,
Meistraat 39 in Antwerp, Belgium.

Participation is only possible if you purchase a ticket no later than
22nd February. The tickets will be sent to you later this week. There
are 20 tickets available. If you want to be sure of a ticket, you'll
need to act quickly.

The prices of the tickets are listed on the website. Additionally,
non-alcoholic beverages are available for 6 euro per person. Coffee and
tea are available from a dispenser (for which my apologies). If any
budget is left, it will be spent on additional drinks or perhaps on
dinner afterwards.

Everything we need is available: WIFI, a beamer with VGA connection,
electricity, at least one extra laptop, drinks, etc. If you have any
special requests, just let me know.

We need more speakers! You can tell something about your own project,
private or professional, for which you have created a liveCode stack. If
you use a different platform, such as SuperCard, Filemaker, HyperStudio
or Xojo, you're very welcome to tell us about it.

Do you think you're not so good at making presentations? Organise a
workshop instead! Just show us how you work with your favorite tool and
if you like, or if you can, invite your public to join.

Please indicate that you're a speaker when you buy a ticket. You will
receive a discount. A discount is also available if you buy the book
Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner.

After the formal part of the conference, we may have dinner together.
The next day, we might have a social event before going home. We will
organise this on the spot.

I hope to have informed you sufficiently. Just send me an e-mail
right-away if you have any questions and I'll reply as soon as I can.
