Re: LiveCode equivalent to 'cron' for automated background functions?
I did a multi-core processing presentation with livecode at the global conference. running long shell commands is one of the use cases for such a setup. https://github.com/makeshyft-tom-g/livecode-multicore-library might be an option here.

Re: Max number of columns in a datagrid?
I just checked, and (LC 8 on a Mac) indeed fields fail beyond a certain
width/character limit/???
This:
on mouseUp
repeat with i = 1 to 1
put char -10 to -1 of ("aa" & i & " ") after x
end repeat
put x into fld 1
end mouseUp
results in a field that scrolls right only until it displays about "aa294
aa295 aa296 aa2" So, something like 3,000 characters wide.
Again, something that could be worked around, but basically whether it's a
field or the DG, some sort of virtualized display seems necessary.

CGIs boot a scripting engine, the engine processes the request, sends a reply, and dies, each time it's called. Keeps things simple and discrete, but isn't well suited for an always-on process like a cron substitute. Shared hosts generally don't allow always-on processes, but if you're running on a VPS or dedicated box you have the freedom to do anything you want. For such cases "send in " works well, if you set up the process to boot with the machine and build a means of interacting with it while it's running. If you've seen LiveNet you've seen it in action: I have a box in the corner of my office that aggregates RSS feeds for our community and packages them up and posts the result to a public server for display in LiveNet. It's been running every few minutes without interruption for years. But I did it only because it was a fun exercise at the time, and if I had to do it over again I'd just use cron - simpler, leaner, more portable. FWIW, cron is for periodic tasks.

Re: Issues with app delivery!
Hi Guys, I managed to strip out the old 32 bit stuff leaving just the 64 bit code thanks to your instructions. I re-codesigned the app and made sure that the entitlements.plist had: com.apple.security.app-sandbox com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write com.apple.security.network.client I tested the package to make sure it executed fine, and tested my resulting app which worked fine too. I used the Application Loader and started uploading the package to Apple. It then spit the following error message back at me. ERROR ITMS-90296: “App sandbox not enabled. The following executables must include the “com.apple.security.app-sandbox” entitlement with a Boolean value of true in the entitlements property list [(“.pkg/Payload//Contents/MacOS/”)] Refer to App Sandbox page at https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/mac/app-sandbox/ for more information on sandboxing your app.” The Application Loader offered option buttons - “Send to Apple…”, “Activity…” “Back”… “Send”.

Re: What is LC's internal text format?
Hi Bob, So my rant didn't go to the bit bucket. To answer your question NO that wouldn't happen - adding "Side" languages to use with the IDE introduces people to a saner way or doing things. We could use Python and or Javascript for the great libraries and make them callable with a LCB wrapper and use LC for the stuff we need to understand. I Never mentioned Java and Javascript is certainly NOT Java thank God. For Java they can use FFI as punishment for all all the boilerplate. For Kotlin we could make an exception. ;-) Anyway It's no different to having LCB as a "second" statically typed language. Actually if we could make it work like Steve Wozniak's pseudo 16 bit interpreter "Sweet 16" or how you could switch into assembler using $ASMMODE in Turbo Pascal or [ ] BBC Basic except switch into the "side language" that would be the icing on the cake. I now quite like Livecodes non dot-notation and I've even acclimatised myself to "PUT" , as usual it's "comfortable shoes". To me Pascal was the easiest language to read but even I can't argue that Hypertalk is MUCH easier to read. Never bothered about being terse - only being readable.

How to reliably identify an Android Tablet microSD Card
I've got an app running on an Android 8.1 7in tablet which uses a microSD card
for its RW data storage. I've tried using:
specialFolderPath("external documents")
which the docs describe as follows:
• "external documents": The folder on the primary shared/external
storage device where application-specific data can be placed
but this doesn't point to the microSD.
Instead I'm having to try to pause the app and then search around for the
microSD. So far I've found 7 different locations for the microSD, depending on
the model of tablet:
1. /mnt/ext_sdcard/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
2. /mnt/sdcard2/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
3. /mnt/m_external_sd/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
4. /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
5. /mnt/extSdCard/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
6. /mnt/external_sd/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
7. /mnt/SDCard/Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files
where the ../files folder is located in the microSD filing system as follows:
/Android
/data
/com.reidit.myapp
/files
Whenever I try to install my app on a different Android tablet, I have to go
hunting for the exact filing system for the 1st part of the microSD:
/mnt//
The tail of /Android/data/com.reidit.myapp/files seems to be consistent. It
seems that the only variable is the part.
However, I have 2 tablets (Android 5.1 and Android 8.1) where I haven't been
able to locate the microSD card at all!
Any suggestions about how to reliably locate the microSD card in an Android
tablet?

How to update the project browser?
Hello, sometimes the project browser doesn't gets updated automatically. E.g. when ungrouping a group via msg box, the group stays visible in the project browser until I close and reopen the PB. Is there something like a "F5" to let the PB update, or is closing and reopening the common way to handle it?

Re: LiveCode server with revIgniter - new controller pages get 404 errors?
Fixed shared for future reference…. This issue was down to me missing the need for a required change to system/application/config/config.lc when using .htaccess to hide the index.lc page from the URIs structure. This setting is clearly documented within the config.lc file, in the 'Index file'... "If you are using mod_rewrite to remove the page set this variable so that it is blank." i.e. 'put empty into gConfig["indexPage”]' ). The config.lc file is also mentioned specifically in the user guide section on ‘revIgniter URIs: Removing the index.lc file’ https://revigniter.com/userGuide/general/urls.html However, the cross-reference is for other use cases and their troubleshooting - there’s no specific mention of the change required when seeking to hide the index page with the example .htaccess file. Ideally, this use case of the (excellent) docs could be extended slightly to close this gap, along the following lines... "In the above example, any HTTP request other than those for index.lc, images, assets, robots.txt, css and js is treated as a request for your index.lc file. If you use this method to remove the page, set the Index file variable in your application/config/config.lc file so that it is blank."

Another and more comfortable way would be to use App Wrapper 3, in case you own it.

Re: semi-OT : mySQL oddities
Hi list, This is a quick follow-up to my post from a couple of months ago. After weeks of tweeking and testing, I am now 99.99% sure there's an issue with auto-increment in the latest versions of mySQL, at least with large tables with several indexes and complex scripts that insert and update several rows in one pass. Long story short, I finally removed auto-increment on a primary key (integer) and added the following lines to my script (pseudo code) : select MAX(id) from myTable limit 1 put it into tMaxID add 1 to tMaxID I've been watching & checking the table content for several weeks, and random duplicates / corruption of rows have totally disappeared. I hope I found the solution, but will keep checking. I also thing I will bypass auto-increment in future projects.

Hello all, Yes, it seems we have to make sure that the code applied to externals for removing unneeded arch is also applied to revsecurity. Here are detailed instructions on how to do this manually from the terminal (the instructions are for tsNet - just change the path to the one of revsecurity): See comment 6 in https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20946 Kind regards, Panos -- On Wed, Nov 28, 2018 at 7:07 AM Brian Milby via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Yes, that is the section of code that I was referring to.
