LC 9.6.6 oddities when showing/hiding text

[William Prothero via use-livecode]

I have a stack where I’m hiding and showing text fieldsm, in LC 9.6
I’m doing a show field with effect.
I made it work by putting in a delay before each action, like:

put "show "&" with visual effect " into tDo

--wait for 1 second with messages

wait 500 milliseconds with messages

do tDo

It helps, but still, the field will show briefly, then there is a blank white 
spot where the field was. If I click on it the field shows like it’s supposed 
to. The field background is transparent. 

It worked in older versions of livecode. Seems like a bug to me.
Any ideas?

Best,
Bill

Thanks, Matthias. I had tried it without a dollar sign, but I’ll re-check.
Thanks for looking at this.

Re: Sharing a desktop app, or with beta testers

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

William,

i just tried in a Monterey VM

the syntax 
pw=YourPassword; echo $pw | sudo -S ... works here as long as i do not have 
a $ sign in my password.

The problem seems to be that the dollar sign is a special character in shell. I 
am not a shell expert, but i've read that strings that contain dollar signs has 
to be in single quotes.

I've putted the password in single quotes and it worked then altough it 
contained the dollar sign.

I will adjust the sample stack.

Regards,
Matthias

Question Re desktop app construction

[William Prothero via use-livecode]

Folks,
Just wondering if, in the latest versions of Livecode we still need to silence 
error messages when we build the app? I’m wondering if I might be missing some 
useful build errors.

Thanks,
Bill

The file in my plugin folder was date 27.01 1:38am. After removing both folder 
and file and copying the files again from your repo, the error does not come up 
anymore.

But another one, see my reply. Seems there is something wrong with the LAZR2

That are great news.

I used tmControl and tmControl2 in a lot of projects at the time it was still 
maintained. 
I am still using tmAlign regularly. 

I would love to see a version 3 of tmControl, but could only help testing.

Re: Sharing a desktop app, or with beta testers

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

As i have still 11.6.2 installed i cannot test, if this might be something 
Monterey specific.
I am currently downloading Monterey and will install it onto a VM, so i could 
test. But the 12GB take some time to download.

There is a free tool available from Late Night Software called SD Notary, which 
also does the needed steps to get a notarized app.

Maybe you try that .

Re: Browser widget - follow redirects setting?

[Keith Clarke via use-livecode]

Hi Matthias,
Thanks for your response and experiment.

Unfortunately, I get the same experience with 'launch URL in...' and 'set the 
URL of…’ widget “Browser”

I think it might be my URL. I’m trying to access the Salesforce OAuth 2.0 User 
Agent flow via the browser, as I can’t get the OAuth library to work for this 
flow.

Maybe I’ll try dipping my to into tsnet, as that looks like it may have the 
comparative mechanisms to replicate a recipe I have working from PHP.

Thanks and regards,
Keith
