Re: Mac Standalone/Pkg Weirdness
Hi Jacqueline, I used import image as control, so it is embedded in the stack. I’ve decided to use a work around of making my own custom ask/answer dialogs. Thanks for asking.

Re: Max number of columns in a datagrid?
I don't remember what-all he did with it, but FileMaker proved to be remarkably resilient pretty much no matter what he threw at it. The one limitation back then was that a given file couldn't be more than 32MB(!).

Re: LiveCode Server syntax to call function in CGI folder
Thanks Matthias, '’ worked a treat. I was overthinking the security aspects and attempting to call the private CGI function from ‘across the divide’ in the public_html root rather than include the CGI files. Clearly too much time spent with javascript, where included files are visible client-side in the browser (and its dev tools). Now I can see that the included LiveCode scripts stay server-side …and private!

How do I check to see if an environment variable exists?
Hi All, Looking to see how I check to see if my standalone was launch via command line with a parameter? I know that when it’s launched via command line with a parameter in windows, I will see a $0 (Name of executable) and $1 for the parameter. Since this is a dual launch able app, double click and command line with parameter I have the following in the main stack: on openStack if exists($1) then put $1 into pState put "prod" into pMode runBuildAndPush pState, pMode end if end openStack However, the exists($1) never returns true, even when it should. Which leads to to believe that’s not what I want to use. How would I test to see if the $1 variable exists?

Re: Disable Notification Center
HI BR, I do not know a way to turn off notifications from within the app. I only know how the user can do so. The easy way to do it, is to go into the Settings app then go to Do Not Disturb and turn the button on. Then you can run the app without any interruptions. When you are done with the app, turn the Do Not Disturb button off. You can do this and still have a time set up when you won’t get any notifications.

Re: LiveCode Server syntax to call function in CGI folder
Do you want to call an .lc file from outside the public_html file? If so then copy the .lc file (lets say myscript.lc) to outside of the public_html, for example to /home/custom_scripts. Then in your .lc file in public_html use include "home/custom_scripts/myscript.lc to include the script myscript.lc into your main script.

LiveCode Server syntax to call function in CGI folder
Folks, Can anyone please steer me to any docs explaining the (relative?) path syntax needed to traverse from a public file 'public_html/index.lc' to more private resources in 'public_html/CGI’ folder, to: 1: Require CGI/myFile.lc? 2: Call myFunction() in CGI/myFile.lc? The LC Server introductory lessons don’t seem to cover how to split public/private assets - unless I’m missing something?

Re: How to diagnose browser widget JS handlers failing silently?
Thanks for the response, Herman. In the error state I’m getting, the LC JShandler script parameters are empty and so far, I’m having no luck with getting toString(); to stringify javascript objects such that LC doesn’t fail silently. Indeed, your test scripts fail in my situation - so I’m going to have to create a simpler test-bed.

I looked through all the mobile commands. I do not see way to turn on you top pull down of the notification center on iOS.

Re: Max number of columns in a datagrid?
well it's incredible big! Yes Excell and outlook too can being very slow, on my job i have a laptop from this year(lenovo) and it's running office 360, it's terrible slow. But...it could also be due to the rest of the shitty software we have to use like Labware(that's really crying and a pain in the *ss). But thay say on calculations that Excell is the top. Anyway hope you get it figured out.
