OSX module file error when building standalone with LC 8 on mac

[James Hale via use-livecode]

I just went to recompile a little utility I have and came across this error.

The stack is simple and just gets the user to select file(s) or a folder or a 
text list to create folders somewhere else.

I had compiled a standalone before but now am unable to with LC8.

It gets all the way to building MacOS components and then...

"There was an error while saving the
standalone application
Build failed for MacOSX x86-32: could not
open module file"

I originally was compiling 64 bit, then I tried both, then just 32 bit.
Same error in each case.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Does anyone know what it means?

Tried with 
8.1.3 indy and business
8.1.0 Indy

Then tried with a couple of the 9DPs
These all worked!

So it seems to be only with the LC 8s that I have.

James

I do -)

Jansson (the library that mergJSON uses) does actually handle all escaped 
unicode codepoints just fine. There is, however, an issue with the JSONToArray 
function. Try patching it like I have done here 
https://github.com/montegoulding/mergJSON/pull/8

Re: Translating escape sequence

[Phil Davis via use-livecode]

Maybe right after you import the JSON data, preprocess it with something 
like this:


set the lineDelimiter to "\u"
repeat for each line tLine in tJsonData
put numToCodePoint("0x" & char 1 to 4 of tLine) & char 5 to -1 of 
tLine after tNewData

end repeat
put tNewData into tJsonData

Then go on your merry way. Would that work?

put deEscape("Eduardo Ba\u00f1uls")

replace "'" with quote in temp
put JSONImport(temp)into pArray
return pArray[1]

Roundabout but does the trick.

where does the standalonebuilder saves the substacks in an Mac OS App?

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi,

is it correct when the standalone settings of an stack are set to move 
substacks into individual stack files that under Mac OS X the substacks in an 
compiled app (e.g. test.app) are stored
 
in 'test.app/Contents/Resources/_MacOS/‘ instead of being stored in 
'test.app/Contents/MacOS/'


And if this is correct, how do i open them? At the moment my button script (go 
stack …) , which works for Windows does not open the substacks in MacOS X.
If i move the substacks manually to 'test.app/Contents/MacOS/' then of course 
my scripts can open them w/o modification.

Never ran into this before, because  i needed individual substacks only under 
Windows in the past.

Am i missing something? 

Regards,
Matthias

Re: Translating escape sequences

What I mean is - retrieve through JS to avoid escape characters then translate 
to utf-8 to pass to LC.

Might be too complicated though.

Translating escape sequences

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

I'm dealing with non-English languages, and JSON data retrieved from a 
database comes in with unicode escape sequences like this: Eduardo 
Ba\u00f1uls.


I need to translate those. I can do it by replacing the "\u" with "0x" 
and then using numToCodepoint() to get the UTF16 character. But there 
could be many of these in the same string, so I'm looking for a one-shot 
command that might just do them all. I don't think we have one.


The alternative is to loop through all the text, getting an offset for 
each "\u" and then calculating the number of characters after that to 
use with numToCodepoint(). But will it always be 4 characters in any 
language?


Or is there an easier way?

Help troubleshooting IDE Script Editor Window Position

[Bob Hall via use-livecode]

Is it possible to get the location of the IDE Script editor window? I need to 
confirm what I suspect is a bug in 8.1.3 and need the top coordinate of the IDE 
script window to confirm for bug report.

I have a multi-monitor setup for my dev machine. One of the monitors is 
portrait, the other is landscape (iMac 27”). As of 8.1.3 on Mac OS X 10.12.3, 
the top location of “system” windows (IDE script editor, answer/ask, toolbar as 
examples) appear to use the smallest value of EITHER screen to set the top 
location of the window and not the top of the monitor the window opens on.

This results in IDE script editor, answer/ask not being accessible/visible as 
it is off the screen to the top on the Landscape monitor. If the top of the 
portrait monitor is “higher” relatively then the landscape monitor, It appears 
as though the top location of the portrait monitor is used even when the window 
opens on the landscape monitor. I would like to confirm this behavior thus my 
question above.

I searched for a bug about this and while I’m seeing some that are similar, 
this I believe is a new one and is actually came from an LC9 regression. I’ve 
seen this same thing in LC9 since DP1 and now it appears in LC 8.1.3 but not 
8.1.2 or prior versions.

For the curious… I will attempt to show in text graphics how the monitors are 
oriented.

(Screen orientation in System prefs using text — I hope this comes through)

I use the portrait display for coding (nice and long with ability to have 
debugging displayed with lots of room). LC IDE/system windows on the landscape 
display have the top of the window set using the value from the portrait 
display (I think) as they display off screen to the top. 

If I orient the displays in System Preferences as:
__ __
|  | |
|  | |
|  |__|
|  |
|__|

Everything works fine as the top of both monitors is the same. The issue with 
this is that the monitors are not“oriented to their physical relative positions 
so it's a little frustrating to move the cursor from portrait to landscape and 
back again. Not a big deal but different and kind of a pain compared to prior 
versions.

This behavior started in LC 8.1.3. LC 8.1.2 works perfectly.

Thanks in advance,
Bob

I had thought GET and POST were added to the HTML exports recently, no?

Re: Livecode HTML5 networking question

[Mike Doub via use-livecode]

Bob,  I understand that.  You misunderstood my question.  If I use that 
statement in app,  save it as am html5 app,  will the app function? 

The documentation says networking is not supported.  What exactly does that 
mean?  Is the statement in question, networking?

That is not HTML5. That is a standard Livecode function that has been around 
since version 1.0.

Livecode HTML5 networking question

[Mike Doub via use-livecode]

I was thinking about putting together a little weather app and trying the
html5 feature of livecode.  I read that networking is not supported.   Does
that mean that the following is not supported?

put URL  ("https://api.darksky.net/forecast/; & mykey & "/" & LatLon) into
wData

If not my project is going on hold.

Thanks in advance.

how to remove black title bar in browser widget when showing a pdf?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode]

Hello,

LC 8.1.3, Windows 10: When I am displaying a pdf (local or web) in the
browser widget, there is a black title bar on top of the pdf, which occupies
the top 45 pixels of the browser widget. When hovering over the widget, the
name of the pdf is shown within this black title bar.

I didn't found any option to not show this title bar within the browser
widget. Do I have to live with it or is there an option or a trick I haven't
found yet?

Thanks

Tiemo

Hmmm. Someone should fix Windows.
Is there a bug report for that?
