I used quotes wrong, use this:

>From LC, use:
put "powershell -command ^(Get-Item 'C:\Folder\File.txt').CreationTime=('31
December 2019 23:59:59')^" into tShell
replace "^" with quote in tShell
get shell(tShell)

Touch tells it to update to now unless the date set is in the past and you
use the -d modifier.

If you install the Command Line Tools package from Apple on a mac you can
use the much better   SetFile -d '12/31/1999 23:59:59' file.txt


On windoze, using powershell, send the command:
(Get-Item "C:\Folder\File.txt").CreationTime=("31 December 2019 23:59:59")

>From LC, use:
put "powershell -command '(Get-Item 'C:\Folder\File.txt').CreationTime=('31

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-3

[Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode]

I just downloaded and tested on my MBP16(2019), single screen, MacOS
11.2.2, and also in parallels Win10(v1909) and had no issues.

BTW, visual effects work a dream and even macOS CoreImage effects work
great. Super. Hope to see more (HTML5, hint, hint) soon.

Emtying browser widget cache?

[Håkan Liljegren via use-livecode]

Does anyone know if the browser widget has its own cache? If I load a local web 
page (by setting the URL property) the browser widget seams to cache the linked 
CSS-file. If I restart LiveCode the edits usually go through, but, is there any 
way to empty the browser widget cache without needing to restart LiveCode? Or 
is it just me doing stupid stuff? (It might occasionally have happened before 
;) )

[ANN] This Week in LiveCode 258

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hi all,

Read about new developments in LiveCode open source and the open source
community in today's edition of the "This Week in LiveCode" newsletter!

Read issue #258 here: http://bit.ly/3tAGvjZ

This is a weekly newsletter about LiveCode, focussing on what's been
going on in and around the open source project. New issues will be
released weekly on Mondays. We have a dedicated mailing list that will
deliver each issue directly to your e-mail, so you don't miss any!

If you have anything you'd like mentioned (a project, a discussion
somewhere, an upcoming event) then please get in touch.

Text to Speech libraries

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

I see there are two libraries for text-to-speech, the older revSpeech library that works with 
Mac and Windows, and a newer speech library that works on Mac, Android, and iOS.


For those who are using speech in their apps, do you branch your code for Windows, or do you 
use the rev library for desktop and the newer one for mobile? Do both libraries work equally well?


Is there a reason that Windows can't be supported on the newer library so we can use the same 
code everywhere?

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-3

[Richmond via use-livecode]

I have just downloaded Indy 9.6.2 RC-3, done the licensing "dance" and 
fired it up

without any problems at all:

macOS 11.3 Beta 3, 2018 Mac Mini, 3 monitors.

I suspect you have some background process (i.e. something set to run at 
startup) that is

clogging up the works.

Best, Richmond.

Required Software
=
To build iOS apps with LiveCode you must have the appropriate versions of
Xcode as follows:

- macOS 10.13.4: Xcode 10.1 - LiveCode builds iOS apps using the iOS 12.1
SDK
- macOS 10.14.4: Xcode 11.3.x - LiveCode builds iOS apps using the iOS
13.2 SDK
- macOS 10.15.4+: Xcode 12.1.x - LiveCode builds iOS apps using the iOS
14.1 SDK

There is a full list of working LiveCode/macOS/Xcode combinations here:
https://livecode.com/docs/9-5-0/faq/faq/

Note: Whilst we endeavour to release updated versions of LiveCode
supporting the latest Xcode/iOS SDKs as quickly as possible; we strongly
recommend disabling automatic update of Xcode or downloading the specific
version of Xcode required directly from the Apple developer portal and
installing it separately.

Important: From the end of June 2020, Apple is only accepting apps built
using iOS13 SDKs. This means that, if you wish to submit apps to the
AppStore you will have to be running at least macOS 10.14 in order to be
able to install the necessary version of Xcode.

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-3

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

I have not experienced this (Windows 10), but in the ast, similar new 
version startup issues have been resolved by deleting the livecode 
preferences file and then starting the new version to reset the prefs to 
defaults (and then set them back to whatever you want.

Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-3

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hello Graham,

* and this particular LC version number isn’t in the list on the
offline activation file tool. *

Are you sure? If I remember correctly, you have to scroll further down for
the RC and DP versions

Kind regards,
Panos

Boring I know, but after a long download I can’t activate this automatically, 
and this particular LC version number isn’t in the list on the offline 
activation file tool. 

Someone please tell me what I did wrong.

Re: Printing borked for LC Linux?

[Richmond via use-livecode]

I'd like to address your comments bit-by-bit, so firgive me for 
interleaving them in your post.


On 14.03.21 22:16, JeeJeeStudio via use-livecode wrote:
I understand, for me no issue. But for a novice, or an elderly someone 
with very minor knowledge about computers that is already an obstacle. 
They can find the print icon, that's about it.


AS the proud possessor of a 90 year old Mum I can confirm this.



Op 12-3-2021 om 01:20 schreef Bob Sneidar via use-livecode:
As a print device specialist, I can tell you that printing directly 
from a web browser, be it a PDF or a web page or anything, is 
problematic. It is ALWAYS better to produce a PDF then print from a 
real PDF product. Web browsers give you printing as an afterthought. 
“Oh you want to print too?? Uh… okay here you go.”


Erm: I assume this message somehow connects with LiveCode, although that 
is not clear.


Be that true, my comments are based on that:

Yes, printing directly from a browser is utter crap as everything gets 
shunted around, resized and so forth.

So, printing from a browser is largely a waste of time, paper and ink/toner.

HOWEVER, printing from the LC browser widget does NOT have to conform to 
what web-browsers that sit directly on
the OS do, and it would serve the whole LC community if printing 
vis-a-vis the browser widget worked in the same

way as, say, printing out a document from LibreOffice.

One would suppose that one could leverage _print card_ in a way that 
would serve . . .


As long as one's browser widget size coincided with the size of the card 
on which the browser widget resided
one should get something printed out that resembled the web page as it 
was displayed inwith the browser widget.


Of course (!) this might mean that one would have to have some "funny" 
code in one's print button:


set the width of stack "BASEC" to the width of widget "WBB"
set the height of stack "BASEC" to the height of widget "WBB"
set the top of widget "WBB" to 0
set the left of widget "WBB" to 0
.

this might entail quite a lot of the stack disappearing off-screen, but 
one could have more code resizing the stack back to its "normal" size 
after the _print card_ signal had been sent.


Will try this later and post images to the Forums . . .

Best, Richmond.

Aha: an orphaned phrase. Gottit!



If you try to print a Gmail message in Firefox on Ubuntu Mate, then 
it creates also a pdf which is not getting printed.


Doing the same in chrome and it prints correct.

Printing from Firefox to pdf, then open the pdf in the standard pdf 
reader, it prints also correct.


This was with a Canon inkjet, but there are also issues with other 
brands. In this it looks like Firefox is doing something weird.
