Re: gradient selectors

[Paul Hibbert via use-livecode]

Both fill and stroke gradients work fine on Mac High Sierra, no delays that I 
can see and definitely no hang, so it may be a Linux related bug.

Anybody tested Windows?

gradient selectors

[Mark Wieder via use-livecode]

Before I log a bug report on this, can anyone confirm that the gradient 
selectors are working in LC9? Launching either of the selectors from the 
PI I get a long hang time and no visual feedback. I did manage to get 
something out of the fill gradient selector once, but the stroke 
gradient selector does nothing. Even its controls are nonresponsive.


The hang time is particularly annoying since it hangs my whole desktop. 
Not sure if this is just me or just linux or if it's systemic.

Re: How do I delete cloned images with the same name all at once?

[Tore Nilsen via use-livecode]

The property “name” refers to more than “ticket”, it also includes the 
description of the control, in your case the name will be “image ticket”.
You also will need to count down from the number of images in order to delete 
all of them, otherwise you will run into a situation where x is higher than the 
number of images still on your card
Use short name instead of name, this will script  will work:

on mouseUp
put the number of images of this card into tImages
repeat with x = tImages down to 1
  if the short name of image x = “ticket” then  
 delete image x 
  end if
end repeat
end mouseUp

How do I delete cloned images with the same name all at once?

Hi there,

I have several cloned images and all have the same name: ticket.
Of course there ID is different.
On close card I want to delete them.
How do I delete them all at once?
Wat is wrong with this code?

on mouseup
repeat with x= 1 to the number of images of this card
if the name of image x is "ticket" then put the ID of image x into GONE
end repeat
send ("delete GONE") to me in 0 ticks
end mouseup

But a line of text I pasted from elsewhere contained an invisible character

Is there a better way to test for a line of text that has no visible characters?


Here's where the "trueword" keyword comes in handy:

It will ignore invisible and whitespace characters.

Re: Anyone else got two-monitor issues with LC9 on Mac?

[Graham Samuel via use-livecode]

There are several reports, which Panos has now combined into one (18363). The 
idea of changing the arrangement of the two monitors in the System Prefs so 
that the tops are aligned is a pretty sad workaround, because of course the 
System Prefs settings are supposed to reflect the monitor positions in the real 
world, and there are many arrangements where the tops wouldn’t be aligned 
(typically a laptop on a desk with an external monitor on a stand, so naturally 
higher). If the settings don’t mimic the real world, it’s really hard to move 
the mouse around from screen to screen in a realistic way. So I really hope it 
gets fixed soon.

I'm thinking don't even bother making standalones for every stack.  It 
just complicates installation and replicates the storage overhead of 
attaching the same engine to each one.


Instead, you could make one app that can download and run stack files 
from a server.  Easy enough, and with just one extra step you can use 
LC's built-in compression for even faster transfer.

Adding an icon to an EXE file via Livecode script

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

Has anyone done this or does anyone know how to copy and icon from and
.ico file to a .exe file and set its resource ID using LiveCode Script?

I have an on standalonesaved handler that automates much of my post
standalone build process, but my app has a number of different document
types each with their own icons. For OSX this is as easy as copying the
additional icons to the .app folder/bundle and updating the plist file's
XML to reference them

For Windows, this becomes a manual process of using a tool (I use one
called Resource Editor) to add the icon files to the standalone EXE.

I'd like to put this into my post build script if there is some way to
do it. Any advice out there?

Just to add that when you change the arrangement of the two monitors in the
System Prefs so as their tops are aligned, it might be worth to reset your
LC Prefs as well after that, as it might be the case that some stacks have
kept their *old* rect Prefs (i.e. *before* the monitors' arrangement
changed), so they might now appear offscreen.

That is my experience as well, although it takes some getting used to when 
moving the mouse from one monitor to the other, because the mouse and anything 
you are dragging doesn't appear where you expect it naturally should. It bugged

have a Center Window menu option on a custom development menu I made.

Re: Roadmap: "Automated REST API wrapping"?

[David Bovill via use-livecode]

Ah - i've been working on that - so would be good to find out more. Will be
doing a hackathon at the end of the month to make it more robust. If there
is something planned that we can use instead of build from scratch that
would be good. Ours is a docker based open source implementation.

This was discussed at LCG but I'll get the month wrong - August?


I could go hunt it down, but since we're here and for the benefit of
those who may not have access to those for-fee-only sessions, could
someone working on that offer at least a brief summary here?


This is referring to LiveCode Connect - which I did a prototype for in 
an LCG2017 session...


Its currently pegged for 'completion' in Q2 this year for LC9.1, and 
assuming things align, we will likely have at least one more talk on it 
in LCG2018, if not two (although the latter two things, in particular,

LC Connect uses Swagger/OpenAPI specs to generate script libraries which 
wrap the APIs.

I believe from my take on the discussion at the LCG, that the api wrapping
will be for specific common and widely used api's., so automatic wrapping my
be  little misleading .

Ok that worked thanks. Still I think you should have a copy of the server
on a digital ocean drop that's ready to be activated with a switch of ip
addresses - just a thought

Re: Activation problem

[Heather Laine via use-livecode]

We are currently having some server issues affecting login. We are working to 
fix this asap. In the meantime, to launch LiveCode disconnect from the 
internet, then launch. LiveCode will switch to offline working and it will no 
longer be affected by the issue. You can reconnect to the internet once you 
have it running.

We will let everyone know when the issue is resolved.

Regards,

Heather

We are working on that. As a workaround, turn off Internet access, launch

Activation problem

[Lagi Pittas via use-livecode]

HI All

Just tried to start work (using 6.7.11) and I got an activation box come up
saying the sessiion has lapsed.

Tried it also on my MAC just in case ... no go.

So I went to my LC9 DP 11 and again "The session has lapsed - try again".
and it wouldn't automatically activate.

So I go to the livecode.com site and it's blank.

The pagesource shows some meddling.

Now I don't know about you but if I have somerthing that needs activating
and there are no builtin failsafes i am not a happy bunny. - expletives
deleted.

There should be at least 1 or 2 other activation domains on a different
infrastructure - this is only the second time in a couple of years but
short of a nuclear war then it is 2 too many.

There should at least be a domain where we can all download a manual
activation that last at least as long as our subscription - or is that too
much to ask.

Now I know I can install community version - assuming there are no
commercial dependencies but I really do have better things to do as do we
all.

Anyone noticed this or is this just in my area of the world?
