My condolences.

Did you install LC for all users or just for yourself?
Do you have Process Lasso installed?

Anyone can confirm laggy IDE on Windows 10?

[Andre Garzia via use-livecode]

Hey Friends,

Recently I switched to a Surface 4 Pro running Windows 10. It is a quite
decent machine with an i5 and 8gb of RAM but I barelly can use LiveCode in
it because the IDE is extremelly laggy/slow. Just so that you know, it was
a cold night here and I preferred to close my machine, walk all the way to
my office couple blocks away to fetch my mac and go back home then keep
using it on Windows. Thats how slow it is for me. No other application is
performing badly and yes, I tried running only it without no other program
competing for resources. The symptoms I have are:

* Failure to register keystrokes in the script editor.
* Failure for UI elements to react to clicks.
* Failure for shortcuts to activate desired behavior such as opening
messagebox and other similar things.

Basically unless I take half a second between pressing keyboard keys to
type the script, it will miss half the text.

This is happening on all LC versions I have here which are 9.x and 8.x

(PS: Checked the pending messages and apparently there is nothing there, I
suspected a recurring message hogging up CPU time but thats not the case)

(PS 2: The LC IDE is extremelly slow but all the rest of the machine and
apps behave fine, the CPU is not going to high usage, things appear fine,
they just don't work)

Can someone help?

Andre

Replacetext taking forever under 8.1.7

[Bruce Pokras via use-livecode]

I am trying to port a stack that runs fine under Livecode 7.1.4 to Livecode 
8.1.7 in order to take advantage of 8.1.7’s 64-bit standalone app capability 
for Mac OS X “High Sierra". That is when I found that under either Yosemite or 
High Sierra a “replacetext" action takes over 20 minutes under 8.1.7 while 
under 7.1.4 it takes less than one second! The replacetext is to remove extra 
spaces in a 60,000 line (1.9 million character) variable, and looks like this:

put replacetext(holdIt1,"[ ]{2,10}",empty) into holdIt 

Under 8.1.7 I get the dreaded spinning beachball, although the replacetext 
action eventually finishes (after 20 minutes), and the script then runs to 
completion.

Any ideas about causes and cures for this issue?

[OT] Blind Deconvolution Algorithm

[Alejandro Tejada via use-livecode]

Today I learned about this impressive image processing
algorithm named Blind Deconvolution:

Theory:
http://yuzhikov.com/articles/BlurredImagesRestoration1.htm

Practice:
http://yuzhikov.com/articles/BlurredImagesRestoration2.htm

Check the examples:
(Text defocus blur is eye-opening. Look for the example
named "Large Defocus blur")

Now I have to find if Neural Networks could be trained
for this task with better results. :-)

This is bug http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19358 - which I 
have just fixed (to appear in 9DP11).

Re: sync LC applications

[paolo mazza via use-livecode]

Hi all,
I went through this tutorial about push notifications

http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/59312-how-do-i-use-push-notifications-with-android
 


According to some comments, this technique is is out of date now, because  C2DM 
has been officially deprecated as of June 26, 2012.


How can we proceed now?


All the best

Paolo

Hi Mike,
i am interested in your solution.

Can you share a sample or  any kind of documentation of this technique ?

Can I send a notification  to several devices (running the app on the phone) at 
the same time?

Thanks,

Paolo
