Re: Standalone builder tells me that there is a stack ... already open and so on

[William Prothero via use-livecode]

Matthias:
Do you use Microsoft OneDrive? The following happened to me and I was, at 
first, blaming Livecode.

I couldn’t get Hermann’s turnImage contribution working, but then did a lot of 
work trying to clean my system of disc errors, then found that oneDrive was 
corrupting my boot drive (Mac OS 10.14.3). I’m pretty sure the problem is not 
completely fixed, but after cleaning my drive with DiskWarrior, it seems to 
work normally now, and I got turnImage to work correctly.

Best,
Bill

Re: Old Rev stack feature / view ...where is it in LC 8

Are you thinking of the old application browser? It's now in the Plugins

Livecode with Window 7

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

One of our volunteers uses Window 7, (2009 his last update). He says it the 
best windows version there ever was.

I tried to make a standalone for Windows that would work for him.

But the ask and answer dialog do not appear on screen, I tried them "as sheet" 
but they still are missing. Clicking "enter" should, in theory, trigger the 
"OK" even if they are off screen. But that is also no working 

I have "Search for required inclusions..." in the SA setting. Livecode is 
picking the other things required (internet lib and XML etc) . What about  the 
Answer and Answer?  But "as sheet" should appear in the stack window 
area...that  is also not working...

Re: Standalone builder tells me that there is a stack ... already open and so on

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

Thanks to all who responded and please excuse that i answer so late.

I´ve checked all you suggestions. But nothing solved my problem.

I then opened the stack in LC 9.0.1 and was able to built a standalone without 
a problem.

After that i was also able  to create a standalone again in LC 9.0.2 w/o a 
problem. Whatever this has caused it,
it´s not there anymore and all is fine again. Very strange.

Re: widget browser

[hh via use-livecode]

Two basic ways:

set the url of widget "Browser" to "https://duckduckgo.com;
set the htmltext of widget "Browser" to "Hello"

If these two work, the problem is your html file.

To open a local file drag its icon to the url field of the widget in
the property inspector. Then you see the correct syntax for the URL.

Test also to open the file with an ordinary browser.

Me too. Sometimes I go back to an earlier version of LC for a while if I 
don't need new features. There's no recipe for the problem either, it's 
always something random.

Yes yesterday i did a few times.

Mostly i close and reopen LC when opening a new stack. This way i'm sure 
that nothing strange stays behind.


But just yet i also had a weird issue that it would not post or receive, 
restarted LC and worked again


it's making me nuts

widget browser

[Alain Vezina via use-livecode]

Hi all,

I am using widget browser for the first time and I didn’t find the way to load 
an HTML file to MyBroswer.
I especially want to use it in HTML5.

I tried set the URL of widget « MyBrowser" to a specific  html page,

I tried set the htmlText  of widget « MyBrowser » to a specific  html page and 
nothing happens except my Browser becomes  blank white.

These two ways don’t work on Mac or with HTML5, except when I use 
specialFolderPath to write an HTML page that I load after.

I use LC 9.02

Anybody has an idea to make that work.

I want to transfer my apps from the App Store to HTML because I am fed up with 
Apple’s rules which change too many times.

   repeat until tBytesRemaining = 0 
  read from file tMyFilePath for tBytesThisRead 
  put it into tData

  end if
  put jsonToArray(the result) into tResult[tStep]
  if tResult[tStep]["error"] is not empty then
 exit repeat
  end if
  put tResult[1]["session_id"] into tSession
