Re: Extra Title Bar in All Stacks

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

confirmed.

Create new stack (leave it untitled) 

… I am getting a second "tab bar"  under the *real* title bar of the new stack

Create second new stack
  
Hmmm,  yes, fascinating, I can drag the title bar slowly onto the first stack 
and let go

Now I have
   Untitled 2   # top of window

untitled 1 *  | Untitled 2 *# two tabs

-- Nothing in the view menu relatedt to tabs.
-- turn off resizeable in untitled 2 and the stack "jumps" out to a new window.

OK, none of my stacks in this project need to be resizeable I can live with it, 
but 
a) why would it appear suddently and 
b) why doesn't it go away after delete settings?

Is there another place where the engine is writing prefs or settings that we 
don't know about?  It wasn't happening yesterday, in stacks that *were* 
resizeable. Something I did today triggered this new behavior.

If the tab bar is showing you can drag one stack’s tab bar to another

tab bar too, which in LiveCode I suppose would start a new stack as a tab.

Stacks that are docked together are effectively the same card size, so if 
LiveCode does do better support it should be possible to start a new stack as a 
tab, and at the card side of the existing stack, without you having to say what 
size stack you want.

Further testing:  This is only occurring on stacks with "resize" set to true.. 
if I uncheck that the second title bar disappears.  My gut says it has 
something to do with the "decorations" property of stacks being corrupted.

If you have a way of determining which line(s) are being changed, then
you could run this only from that line onward  to save some time 


No, I don't think that would work. First of all, you'd need to keep 
track of how many lines before the changed line were already wrapped, so 
that you could know what line number to start with. So you'd have to 
have already predetermined the relationships of the line starts to the 
line numbers and either stored that somewhere and keep updating the 
list; or work out the line starts each time.


Secondly, you'll need to trap some events in a frontscript and handle 
things like inserting and deleting text, resizing the field/card, etc.

Re: Line numbers for soft-wrapped styled text?

[dunbarx via use-livecode]

Sannyasin.

I know.

I offer it just because I saw right away when I read the OP's post how to
harvest soft-wrapped lines, and just wanted to play with the idea. I find it
just a bit ugly to be required to "pollute", as I said, the source field in
order to "find" the hard wraps..

So, just lock the text and move on...

The other way to be sure about your particular case is to visit your account

associated with each one what is actually licensed.

I have 4

LiveCode Commercial - the pop up shows 8.1.3 down to 6.1.0 and the deployment

LiveCode Business - the pop up shows 8.1.3 down to 6.1.0 and the deployment tab

Re: Line numbers for soft-wrapped styled text?

[Alex Tweedly via use-livecode]

Hi.

That works for "simple" fields which may contain soft-wrapped lines - 
but it doesn't account for styled text (e.g. where different lines may 
be different font sizes (or even mixed sizes), or where paragraph 
spacing has been set, or  all the complex kinds of text we can now do.


but for situations where those complexities can be avoided, it is much 
simpler and faster :-)

You will be astonished how close the core of the javascripts is to the
handling of imagedata in LCScript. There are a lot among you who will
add and change effects without knowing javascript, simply by using an
existing function as 'template' (and use a correct 'header' and 'footer'
around it).

Using LC 8.1.3/9.0.0-dp6 the stack runs (tested) well on
Mac 10.12 and Win 7/10, depends also on your CPU/GPU combination.

On Linux (Mint 181c) I got sadly the well-known "linux-something-dialogs".
I hope that somebody has on linux more success and/or can help me to work
around this bug of the browser widget.

Re: Line numbers for soft-wrapped styled text?

[Alex Tweedly via use-livecode]

Never done it, but I had a quick play 

and found a way to do it  - but  whether it would count as "efficiently" 
or not is debatable :-(


It does about 4 lines of text per millisecond on my elderly MacBook Pro 
(with LC 9.0.0 DP6)


If you have a way of determining which line(s) are being changed, then 
you could run this only from that line onward  to save some time 



Here's the code snippet I was playing with; it assumes

field "F1" - the text

field "f2" - the line numbers, these two fields should have matching 
base, height, etc.


Basically, it runs through the original field finding the formatted 
height of each line. I can't find any way to get that except as the 
formattedHeight of an entire field, so it has to loop through each line 
in turn. The easy way to do that (simply adding each line) is painfully 
slow, so instead it loops through the lines, add each one in turn *as 
the second line*, so it get the height difference between that and a 
single line. [ hmmm - not very clear ! Feel free to ask me to explain 
myself better :-)  ]


and finally restores the original field "F1"

Then it runs through the lines of field "F2" setting the 'spacebelow' of 
each line so that it matches the height of the styled & soft-wrapped 
line of the text field.


Like I said - it works (at least for my simple testing), but it ain't 
superfast

Ideally the line numbers would reflect true lines, separated by CRs,

What I'm after is common in many apps that support line numbers for

Re: D3 LiveCode Chart Examples

Ditta what Trevor said.

 Our new app has both binary and livecodescript stacks.  In the beginning I was 
"sloppy" and named some of the script only stacks (libraries, models, 
behaviors) with extension only ".livecode"  in short order there is massive 
confusion

a)  about what can and cannot be opened in a text editor.
b) about what can be diff'ed with the git compare tools

and other "gotchas"  

"huh? How come that stack did not open? no window?  Maybe it's off screen?"

one in fact wonders why this was no enforce in the new model from the get go.

It gets worse if you try to engage collaboration and the new person on the team 
has not been there on the ground floor. "Hmmm, should we maybe document which 
of these are binary and which are livecodescript files"  

So not only for your own LC team's sanity, but for the clarity of interface 
between Livecode and the rest of the languages world, Ditto what Trevor said.

In fact, is there a case to be made to enforce this at the engine level?

them that shows how often the language extension is used. A search that
doesn't show binary files would need to be submitted so the search would
filter by .livecodescript.

Re: Determining if orientation locked on Android?

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

I'm not sure about how to test for lock orientation, but there are a number of 
related but reports, most recently

http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19465

Elanor has an interesting test stack there.

I suspect it is the same bug. in my case I want the "game" like screens/stacks 
to *always* go landscape, 

But we are in a modular environment, the main navigations screens are locked to 
portrait and rendered as such.

This is working on Android if you set the mobileSetAllowedOrientations to 
"portrait, portrait upsidedown" So you *could* take control yourself… 

But if you navigated from a portrait stack to a landscape stack using…

Setting the mobileSetAllowedOrientations to "landscape left,landscape right" 

The stack is rendered left to right very small, and only re-renders full screen 
when the user turns their phone.

Again, not exactly your issue/question, but smells like fish in the same barrel.

Re: D3 LiveCode Chart Examples

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Hello LiveCoders,

This was our prototype for charting, but unfortunately we have become so
consumed with projects that we can not focus on this right now. We also
coded the D3.js scripts so that we could use it in React.

Just an FYI, some of the projects we have been working on in
LiveCode...Royalty Payment system for the largest music company in the
world, a live video medial app that connects patient and doctor for the
largest network in the world [with live bluetooth stats fed from medical
devices], interactive & live video kiosk for 5000 retail outlets for the
largest PC manufacturer. Plus connecting with WP to create a great solution
in the Business LMS and Tourism Industries. The LMS and tourism app are
mainly WordPress, but we are using our WP API in LiveCode to create
incredible mobile solutions.

We are also launching our our product this week: TriviaMatic  [
www.TriviaMatic.com we are still working on the web site sorry] We were
selected to be in the NEW and HOTEST product section in the Nightclub and
Bar show. There are 36,000 people attending and this will be our first
large App we did in LiveCode that should have over 500,000 users.

The bars pay a monthly fee of $199 + $499 setup fee  [or the suppliers pay
so the can show Ads to promote their product], and the trivia also appears
on a  TV [controlled by Rasberry Pi - $499 is nice markup on the device].
We also did a full interactive digital restaurant menu in the App and on
the TV. Our goal is 1000 bars in the first 2 years - you do the math :-) !!
Our next market after the US/Canada is Brazil...then on to Europe.

The big kicker for the LiveCode community is our online/offline datasync.
Your apps will be able to keep 5000+ users all in sync with just 3 lines of
LiveCode in your App, which we hope will be tested and finished this
quarter. We are doing the server in Google's GoLang and can be dropped on a
LC server with no server experience at all. This is already in the market
and use in CAT manufacturing plants and our in the field where they are
used. Thanks Monte for the barcode scanning external - it was a life saver
last month!!

We will also be releasing a D3 interactive World Map in your App. This is
for the music company...and they LOVE our solution. We just need to test
and debug before putting it out and get their OK. Credit goes to Gurgen and
the LiveCode team @ DP - they are becoming very creative in pushing the
boundaries and getting exceptional UI/UX our of LC on mobile.

Hello Richard...Here is the D3.js copyright, so I assume I will go with
what they do:
https://github.com/d3/d3/blob/master/LICENSE

Hi Mark..Gurgen, who you met at the LiveCode conference did the D3 code. I
actually have not been involved much, so he should get the credit for his
hard work.

Sure Trevor. Thank you for being the inspiration for us to move almost 100%
to script ONLY code. We will use .livecodescript. We do even use pre
built UI card anymore. Everything is all dynamically built now. We have not
moved to widgets just yet, but we hope soon.

a backward glance.

Re: Line numbers for soft-wrapped styled text?

I looked into that for the glx2 script editor and gave up. Soft line 
wrapping by itself isn't a problem, and line numbering by itself isn't a 
problem, but there's no message generated that lets you know when 
wrapping is happening, and no indication in the text fields that a line 
has been wrapped.


The only ugly solution I could think of was to iterate through each of 
the lines of text, comparing the line length and character width with 
the length of the field, and flagging an overflow as a wrapped line. And 
do this every time the field got resized and text added or deleted. If 
you're dealing with a field with mixed styles then your problems are 
even worse.

Re: iOS SDK Question

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hi James, thanks for pointing this to me.

I guess my earlier licenses that I had which do not fall into this category
would be fine though the versions would be quite old.

For example version 4.6 I should be able to do closed source apps still
since the license that came with it at the time did not have this
requirement.

I am not certain about the last version I have installed on my old machine
but I think it was in the 6 series and I bet if I boot up the machine the
software should still work...it's the software that came after my license
expired last year is what will need a new license for to build closed apps?

Again, I should be getting an answer from Livecode support this coming week
to clarify things.

Glen

On the "pricing" page of the Livecode site, towards the bottom, there is an FAQ.
The first question there is indeed what you are asking.
The answer given is:
"To build closed source apps you must have a valid current Indy, Business or 
other commercial license. If you do not renew this license your access to 
LiveCode will revert to the Open Source edition and you will no longer be able 
to build closed source apps."

Fairly clear.

Re: Libraries To Contribute

Stuff we need to do for this project:
1) Decide on the structure when you hit git.  I think that we should have
the routines be separate depos because it will be easier for everyone to
subproject what they want.
2) Extract and format the docs for each piece
3) Build the wiki for it that will reference each piece.

Anything else?
