Re: So, looks like we'll be able to run LiveCode on an iPad at some point

[Geoff Canyon via use-livecode]

Sorry, I should have said "technically able" -- but surely (if this
happens) this means that it would be possible to ship an iOS app capable of
being licensed, creating an interface within it, modifying scripts of that
interface, and possibly even saving that as a new iOS app?

The multi-window aspect seems like a sideshow.

Re: What ever happened to LC blockchain?

[Richard Gaskin via use-livecode]

The question is almost too big to answer, akin to asking about file 
systems or sockets. The range of applications for blockchains are 
currently too big to count, and only just beginning.


As far as a role for LC, I've seen some interest from LC users but 
nothing very specific, and nothing along the lines of libraries or 
tooling yet.


I am meeting with another LC user with an interest in this space next 
week.  If anything noteworthy comes up I'll report back.


In the meantime, my own interest is mostly centered around the corner of 
the Ethereum world focused on smart contracts. I have no interest in 
speculative psuedo-currency applications, but now that Eth2 is running 
and gas fees are plummeting, there's a universe of opportunity in smart 
contracts. At the moment nearly all of that work is limited to one 
language, Solidity, so that and studying the underlying protocols and 
data structures of Ethereum nodes have been where my time in this space 
has been invested.

This was more of a question of what’s out there

Mike that would be great. I'd like to get together a small group to

Involvement does not need to be super-geeky. It will be a research group,
so I'll collect links, podcasts and videos and present these within a
Livecode environment - so there is a need for media, writing and research
skills and we will be working together on a publication within Livecode.
This publication will also be online and on the decentralised web.
Super-geeks with a knowledge of Javascript and Livecode are also more than
welcome.

If anyone else is interested just email me here or off-list, and I'll send
out information when the dates are confirmed.

Unless there's been a very recent change, I don't believe LC-made mobile 
apps can use the clipboard at all outside of user interactions within 
scripted instantiations of mobile-native fields.


Do we have any word from the team on when this will be added?

Re: Mobile Clipboard?

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

All the clipboard functions are for Win, Mac and Linux. I searched the 
dictionary for Android, and nothing seems to be available for Android. I 
reviewed ALL the Merg commands and functions. Perhaps mefgNotify can be of 
assistance, but there s nothing specific to the clipboard.

Paul,

"current" is a synonym of "this".

When you search for "current" you will see "this" among the hits. Click on "this" and you 
will find "current" as a synonym.

LC dictionary does not list the synonyms as separate entries. TinyDictionary 
lists the synonyms thanks to Brian Milby who had the idea and coded that part.
There are about 350 synonyms in LCS.

Kind regard
