Ipad simulators

2019-12-07 Thread J. Landman Gay via use-livecode
Does anyone know which splash screens in the standalone settings match 
which iPad models in the simulator? The names available in Xcode 10.1 don't 
match the names in settings, and I'm not sure the designated splash 
dimensions match the simulator devices.

LC #48 @TIOBE

2019-12-07 Thread Richard Gaskin via use-livecode
LiveCode has moved up to #48 on the TIOBE Index of programming language 
popularity:


https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

It's too early to tell if this upward ranking is due to reductions in 
other languages or an actual trend with LC, but given that LC was #50 in 
October this seems a positive sign.


Highlights from this month's index:

- 1/3 as popular as Scratch

- More than half as popular as Lua

- 2/3 as popular as PowerShell

- Surpassed Prolog, awk, bash, 4D, Clojure, WebAssembly, Erlang

- Xojo, once seen as a competitor years ago, not even on the list

Re: iOS text file download from Dropbox

Great!

I have the Dropbox app installed on my iPhone but can't figure out if there's a 
way to access files from an LC app that way or not.

Bail Out of Failed Connection Mobile Indicator

2019-12-07 Thread Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode
on mobile, when the busy indicator in  up, showing it is busy downloading,

How do you stop it in the case of a failing download?

For example, bandwidth to too weak, or the url can't be accessed?

Use just wants to "bail" out and not hang the application?

I'm glad that solved the immediate problem. Looks like we will need access
to the settings from within LiveCode in the future though.

you could use the dropbox library, so you have direct access to your dropbox

1. Without killing prefs:

a) open the SE
b) from msg
send "sePrefSet " &"paneHeight"&", 500" \
   to stack "revnewscripteditor"

c) close the SE
d) reopen the SE

2. Kill/Reset prefs.
The height of the bottom pane is stored there.

Re: How to revoke that bottom pane of the script editor?

2019-12-07 Thread Richmond via use-livecode

I opened a scriptEditor and the MessageWatcher . . .

The odd thing is that as I drag those 2 horizontal lines up and down
nothing appears in the Massage Watcher: not very helpful.

Do you see the two horizontal lines at the bottom of the window? That is the

Try dragging it up. If you do not see those, not sure what has happened.

thanks, the latter one of course, no lines. 8-)

in the script editor we ususally have three panes:
1. List of handlers on the left
2. The actual script on the right
3. At the botton we see the content of variables when debugging etc.
Now I somehow managed to make the bottom pane disappear 8-),
how can I get it back without to quit LC and trash the LC prefs?
