Re: Is there a way to manually trigger GC?
Hi Tom, Does hasMemory() have any effect on available memory, or does it truly just report the state of things? I wonder if there is some shell command that might help?

Can I trigger that memory release manually? (Maybe its another mechanism and not GC?!)

Printing borked for LC Linux?
I've been printing almost exclusively to PDF for the last several years, but this morning I wanted to print to actual paper, and found that LC doesn't print from Ubuntu. There's nothing in the result after the print command, so LC thinks it's doing fine. And I can print from any other app on the same machine, just not LC. This report for Linux Mint seems perhaps relevant: https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21131 But it's from nearly three years ago - has printing been completely broken in the LC Linux engine for years and so few noticed? Any of you able to print from LC in Linux? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: opened socket in IDE prevents script changes
Look in the script editor breakpoints tab. If there are any there delete them. Just spitballing.

Re: mobileControlCreate (set, do, etc)
Another idea is to place a graphic where you want the object to be in the IDE so that you can “see” it and then use the rect of the grc to set the rect of the mobile control. I will echo building a smaller test stack. My mobileDemo stack doesn’t take anywhere near that long to build.

Re: mobileControlCreate (set, do, etc)
Hi Sannyasin, Two suggestions. Could you build a small test stack to test your idea and refine it? Not sure of your hardware, but that might be faster to load than a larger, more complicated application. Also, the simulator might be another possible option to speed things up while testing?
