It’s not them, it’s me. Clearly I’m expecting too much.

Re: WebP-Tool v103

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

We really appreciate you staying on the "bleeding" edge ahead of us, Herman!
 Tried the stack, works amazing well.  A 1.2MB img →129K (at 1024 px wide) Look 
fabulous in Google Chrome!

" so you can use webp images in your stacks…" 
that is using the  pngOUT images in our stacks? Right?

Disclaimer: probably not doable: I guess to use on Mobile app we need to 
include binary code in our package and they unpack the WebP image before show 
them as PNG. Obviously would be get the user in trouble by unpacking too many 
large PNG (app could take up enormous space on the phone)..

Sorry, the download links had a wrong path. Here are correct ones.

[Download] Currently I cannot upload to "SampleStacks/livecodeshare".
So please use from the message box
(EU) go stack url ("http://hyperhh.de/xstacks/webP-Tool_v103.livecode;)
(US) go stack url ("http://hh.on-rev.com/xstacks/webP-Tool_v103.livecode;)
or download
(EU) http://hyperhh.de/xstacks/webP-Tool_v103.livecode.zip
(US) http://hh.on-rev.com/xstacks/webP-Tool_v103.livecode.zip

When using go stack url, as a first action please SAVE the stack, we need
the stack path for writing out helpers and creating folders for conversion.

Are you suggesting Microsoft has trouble reading open and 
well-documented standards?  Why, I never! ;)

There are definitely other ways to approach the problem I'm trying to
solve. In fact, in other areas of my app I will extract parts of HTML by
without relying on revXML.

In this particular case I already have some LC code that parses HTML placed
on the clipboard and converts it into data structure used by the
application. This was originally implemented using the revXML callback
feature (no tree is created in memory) and that API has worked well for the
conversions I need to make. HTML may be placed on the clipboard when
copying text and images from web browsers or by our good friend Microsoft
Word. Microsoft Word places some very "interesting" HTML on the clipboard
that needs to be massaged quite a bit before running it through revXML.
There is a speed hit that occurs when running some of the regex patterns on
the Word HTML that are used to strip out some markup and do things such as
add quotes around attributes.

Given the code that I have in place already, I would prefer to leverage
HTMLTidy rather than fix every potential "gotcha" or spend time trying to
optimize the code. I'm betting that HTMLTidy can do it better and faster
given how mature it is.

Is conversion to XHTML the way to go?

I've tried using the XML external to parse even RSS files -- ostensibly 
pure XML -- only to find it choke on some of them.  I've gone back to 
hand-crafted pull-parsers.

Help Wrapping HTMLTidy in LCB

[Trevor DeVore via use-livecode]

Hello,

While looking at solutions for converting HTML into XHTML that can be
parsed by revXML I decided to test HTMLTidy which has an option to output
the input as XHTML. While I could bundle up the tidy command line tool and
include it with my app, I prefer to wrap things up in LCB if possible.

Unfortunately I haven't gotten very far with HTMLTidy and I'm
hoping someone else might be able to figure out what I'm doing wrong. If
you are up for loading up an LCB project in LC 9 on macOS and looking at
some C files then please read on:

RESOURCES

- Github repo with LCB file, a test stack, and compiled HTMLTidy dylib for
testing on macOS: https://github.com/trevordevore/lc-htmltidy
- HTMLTidy github repo where source files are located:
https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5

WHAT WORKS

In the htmltidy.lcb file I've wrapped some of the simple APIs that return
strings: tidyReleaseDate(), tidyLibraryVersion(), and tidyPlatform(). Those
all work.

WHAT DOESN'T WORK?

tidyHTMLToXHTML() in the htmltidy.lcb file has some test code in it that
isn't working. As a test I want to call `tidyOptGetIdForName()` from the
htmltidy C library and get a valid value returned. I expect the following
code to log `0` but it is logging `104`. I don't think I am creating
the Ctmbstr pointer properly but I don't really know. Here is code from the
htmltidy.lcb file along with links to the ctmbstr definition in the
HTMLTidy source code:

```
variable tCStr as Pointer

-- Attempting to create a Ctmbstr from a LiveCode string
-- ctmbstr:
https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5/blob/next/include/tidyplatform.h#L607
MCStringConvertToCString("TidyUnknownOption", tCStr)
-- The next handler is logging `104` which is N_TIDY_OPTIONS (error)
-- Appears that tCStr is not the right format.
log c_tidyOptGetIdForName(tCStr)
```

MCStringConvertToCString is defined as follows in the htmltidy.lcb file:

```
foreign handler MCStringConvertToCString(in pString as String, out rCString
as Pointer) returns CBool binds to ""
```

If anyone can provide some pointers or a PR I would really appreciate it.

no, a menubar is a group of buttons, not a stack.
It CAN be a stack however, but not if you want an Apple macOS menubar.

Anyway, thank you for your moral support! :-)

I had to force-quit LC, after saving everything via the message box, then I 
switched to:
...
set the defaultmenubar of this stack to "my menu group here"
...
Then I can:
...
set the defaultmenubar of this stack to EMPTY
...

It divides, right? 8-)

Re: remove DEFAULTMENUBAR?

[dunbarx--- via use-livecode]

Hi Klaus. 

I never have worked at all with this group, and was surprised that it was a LC 
stack in the first place. 

So I do not know why one cannot set it to empty, except maybe that something 
inside LC prevents that. 

On a completely tangential note, my defaultMenubar contains ten buttons, the 
first one being button "File", and the last one (after button "help") being 
button "divider". No idea where that button is, or what it does. 

Craig

Re: New app update: four errors in plist

[William de Smet via use-livecode]

Hi there,

Another app update with the same errors.
And another 'ITMS-90683: Missing Purpose String in Info.plist'
This time 'NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription' (and the app doesn't use
Bluetooth).

Did several updates this week and only one got this error back.
But within a day approved.
So from now on I wait for the review before uploading a new binary.


greetings,

William
