Re: "Open in New Navigator" is back

[Geoff Canyon via use-livecode]

Do you mean copying from the script editor? Navigator opens the built-in
script editor, it doesn't have its own.

Or are you referring to some other copy/paste?

Re: tsNet and Digest Authentication - some problems or better said: missing knowledge

[Charles Warwick via use-livecode]

Hi Matthias,

That does sound strange.

If you download the following stack:

https://downloads.techstrategies.com.au/tsnet/debug_liburl.livecode

Open that stack at the same time as you have your application stack open in the 
IDE, click the “Start Debug” button, and try your PUT requests.

That will display some debug information that might help us work out what is 
going on.

On a related note, ‘tsNetLibUrlReuseConnection false’ should create a fresh 
connection to the server for the 2nd request, so debug with and without that 
set would be useful.

Regards,

Charles

RE: Forcing a device update

J,

The devices refresh automatically on both my Win 10(Android) and OS X
10.12.6 Xcode 9.2 (iOS and Android). I'm using 8.1.9 GM. I tested by
plugging devices in/out/in. 

You could try this in the message box for Android. It's untested. (found it
by scratching in the IDE).

Subject: Forcing a device update

Is there a way to force the IDE to look for attached mobile devices without
restarting LiveCode?

Typically I have half a dozen scripts open and I'm doing multiple test
builds to a cabled phone. I edit some scripts and during that time the phone
goes into low-power mode (not asleep or locked.) When I tap it to show the
launcher again, LC has lost the device and I have to restart LC to make it
scan again.

I can use Terminal to rescan if necessary, but even after it sees the phone,
LC still doesn't.

I need a message box command to make LC "see" the device again. 
Restarting loses all my open script windows and I have to relaunch the stack
and set everything up again.

Sparkle anybody?

[Graham Samuel via use-livecode]

I don’t think this is OT - I suppose it depends on your point of view.

Sparkle is a framework for providing update logic to Mac Apps (this is my take 
on it anyway). I know Trevor has kind of incorporated into Levure, but the 
commitment to understanding and working with Levure is too heavy for me, I 
think. It’s supposed to be easy to integrate Sparkle into your app (no 
coding!), but it turns out, only if you speak XCode, as the baldest 
explanations of its use assume that the reader is deep into Apple’s way of 
doing things.

So is it curtains for us LC coders - I mean is there no alternative to a 
massive technical self-education effort to use this stuff, where one might at 
the end crash and burn anyway? It would be sad, because it seems so far from 
“everyone can code”. Yes, I can, but I am constantly being thumped by 
deployment issues like this.

Thoughts, anyone?

Re: Issues with storage of data in stack

[Phil Davis via use-livecode]

Hi Peter,

If your app could encrypt the arrayEncoded data before writing to disk, 
and then decrypt it when reading it, that would solve the 
unwanted-access problem. The amount of time used by encrypt/decrypt 
processes is negligible, even for large files.


I love arrays. They have become one of my favorite things about LC.

I too use arrays as a data store. You could save the arrays to disk directly

system also a few  tablets running windows and android with the same
system - wth abouth 8 lines of code added to work on Android.

 In the first version of the system I save the arrays which held all
the Clerks orders/totals etc and items into an external stack every
time they added an item.

I then saved the whole thing and cleared the  "dirty" flag   on shutdown.

If the"till"  program started and the dirty flag was true then system
would know it was a powercut and load all the "open"  orders and other
status information  etc.

I have users who have not had a problem in over 2 and a half  years
others who have 3 "tills" with no problems and just a few maybe (4 who
have had a corrupt stack maybe 1 to 3 times a years - 2 or three times
is  too many. There is no rhyme or reason because others have had
powercuts (6 in an hour ) with no damage but others can can switch off
without exiting the till properly without a problem and yet I can have
a corrupt stack with everything shut down properly.  So Now I have
removed that stack and  just save the arrays to  "general" config
table called TABS in sqlite in a row with an idkey of '99' other
IDkeys can save other configuration information- NOT ONE PROBLEM since
I have done this - go figure.

I'll make a posting on the forum with the code - not trying to teach
my granny to suck eggs here, but maybe some beginners on the forum
might find it useful - would have done in the beginning.

I have to admit, I haven't stored data in a stack in a long time, since the
database options are so easy to use.  If you're currently storing data in a
stack, have you run into any issues on any platform with it, especially on
mobile, for instance, where the rules can be a little weird?

Re: Issues with storage of data in stack

Hi Mike,

I have 60+ machines running windows7  embedded  running a POS/TILL

Re: Issues with storage of data in stack

[dunbarx via use-livecode]

Hi.

I store data in both external files and within the stack itself. Never used
a DB.

But no issues of any kind ever.

Re: how to copy a card?

[dunbarx via use-livecode]

Note that one can also copy a card, navigate to another spot in the same or
another stack, and paste. The advantage is that the copy can be inserted
anywhere in the card suite. This can all be done under script control.

Re: how to copy a card?

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Wouldn't it be great to clone TO a reference? Say, clone this card as "NewCard" 
to stack "MyStack2"?

tsNet and Digest Authentication - some problems or better said: missing knowledge

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi,

i am trying to use the tsNet external to communicate with an Auerswald PABX 
which requires digest authentication.

The first connection is always successful  using  PUT URL …..
The second one isn´t. There is even no value returned.
When i use tsNetClose and tsNetInit before the 2nd connection then the 2nd 
connection is successful, because the complete authentication process is 
initiated from the beginning.
So this works so far
—>
tsnetClose
tsNetInit
put URL “http:…..”

But how can i use the already established connection? 
tsNetLibUrlReuseConnection FALSE does not help. 
Is it possible that i have to set the httpheader somehow for the 2nd connection?
I am not very happy to unload and reload the external every time.

I also tried to use tsNetGetSync. The first connection is also always 
successful, the 2nd not.

So what am i missing?

Regards,

Matthias
