I believe it was started by MaxV2, I think he hangs around in the forums mainly 
under the handle MaxV. He’s done a great job with the Wikia.

Paul, that helps!

It does matter the name of array… (could be anything) a long  it conforms to 
styled text that 

set the styleText of fld "playlist to tPlayListTextArray.

that property can actually use.

wow! I wonder how far we can take this, in terms of "runs" containing thing 
like the images source of a character.  I guess I can find out quickly.

They are.  A great explanation of those (and all the new stuff added in 
The Great Field Enhancement Work of Version 5.5) are here, starting on 
p12 (discussion specific to the styledText property is on p15):


https://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/5_5_1/LiveCodeNotes-5_5_1.pdf

A couple years ago I had a discussion with Peter Brett about how that 
info critical to making good use of the new field properties could be 
moved into the User Guide.  I had the impression that was underway at 
the time, but I just checked the User Guide for v9 and the string 
"styledText" doesn't appear to be there.


Too bad; hopefully added soon.  The styledText array gives us all the 
full-fidelity info we love with htmlText, but in the super-efficient 
form of an associative array.

I would say so.  "Recovery" implies an error condition, and the spec 
explicitly suggests an app's responsibility to clean up its tmp files.

That might be the new Artificial Intelligence built into the latest operating

Hi Klaus,

i´ve checked here and see the same folders Recovered files(#1……10) with the 
same content you are describing. 
In my case there was also a .csv file in that folders. The .csv was  created 
with LC and was stored in temp folder originally.

I´ve then checked the temp folder and see also those files, but not the 
“Recovered files..” folders. 

At https://support.apple.com/kb/PH25506?viewlocale=en_US=en_US 


there is a description about recovered files/folders in trash.  According to 
Apples description this happens when an app quits unexpectedly and is not able 
to delete the temp files before it quits. After a restart of the Mac these 
files are appearing in trash.

I´ve tried here now several times and reproduce it with the following steps

1. Start LC 
2. Quit LC
3. Restart Mac
4. A new “Recovered Files #…” folder is in trash.

So it seems, LC 9 GM does not delete the temp files correctly before quitting 
or maybe is quitting to fast or whatever and Mac OS X recovers those files 
after a restart.

That seems to be a bug, doesn´t it?

macOS "Recovered files"

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi friends,

since upgrading to macOS 10.13.4 and/or Livecode 9 Stable (not sure really)
I ALWAYS find some (LC) "Recovered files" after a restart of my Mac in my trash.

There are (every time):
1. livecode-emscripten-builds -> Empty folder

2. com.livecode.dummy.lci
3. manifest.xml
4. module.lcm

5. tmp.1029.iLrbYMLs -> a temp file with content:
module com.livecode.dummy
end module

Is this anything I need to worry about?


Best

Klaus

Android assistance / information?

[Douglas Ruisaard via use-livecode]

Anyone is this community as versed in Android as Monte Goulding is in iOS?  One 
of the beauties of LC is its cross-platform ability.  The app I've written in 
iOS ports just fine to Android .. at least the user-interactive and data 
processing parts do.  .. without changing one line of code (and it's a complex 
app) ... how slick is that??? Obviously, there is a lack of an equivalent 
Android BLE function for communicating to my Arduino which I have working 
splendidly in iOS.  So... I'm looking for information / assistance on how to 
implement a "hardwired" connection from an Arduino to an Android device  
(currently have an older- Galaxy Tab 4 running v 5.1.1) ... but if I need a 
newer model, newer OS, that's do-able.

I'm hoping (?against hope?) that all I need is the "device name" for the USB 
port on the Android and the rest I can handle using the "open device" serial 
handles in LC.  I understand that one reason that LC may have and still is 
avoiding the Android BLE topic is due to the varieties and variations within 
the numerous version of the Android OS's.  For me, I just need to be able to 
demonstrate a mobile device (iOS or Android) being able to communicate with an 
Arduino app via a USB hardwire connection.  I REALLY don't care which OS it is 
and if I have to use iOS for BLE and Android for USB... that's just fine!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers
Doug

Re: Typesetting Fields

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

I wonder if the dictionary need helps. Are there paragraph marks missing this 
example?

=

For example, take the following content consisting of two paragraphs:

Centered Hello World

Left-aligned Hello unicodeString

This would transpire as the following array:
1 =
style = { textAlign = center }
runs =
1 = { text = Centered  }
2 =
style = { textStyle = bold }
text = Hello
3 = { text =  World }
2 =
runs =
1 = { text = Left-aligned  }
2 =
style = { textColor = 255,0,0 }
text = Hello
3 = { unicodeText = unicodeString }

[ For brevity, single element arrays are represented using { ... }
notation ]

set the styledText of field to styledArray

Maybe if someone had some example of what to put into 

styledArray

I got lost when started talking about "the other" arrays:

Are these arrays inside the styledArray text?

===

1) It is a fully faithful representation (set the styledText of field
to the styledText of field results in no change to the field). 2) It
is array-based.

The styledText property returns a numerically-indexed array of
paragraphs, each index representing each paragraph in the field in
order:tStyledTextArray[1] = 
...
tStyledTextArray[] =  

Each paragraph array has up to two keys:

tParagraphArray["style"] =  tParagraphArray["runs"] =

Re: Android assistance / information?

Because LiveCode 9 now supports Java FFI, maybe you can find the source code in 
Java how to do this and then implement it?
Just an idea.
