Livecode Compiler

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

It has now been over one year since I purchased a Livecode Compiler license
which the original delivery date was last fall.

I recall there being a preview release in the summer of 2022 and GA version
by the end of the year.

Is there any update or announcements regarding this?

It’s disheartening that I’m past a year of purchasing and there still is no
deliverable.

If I missed it please let me know.

regards,

Glen

Re: ChatGPT

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Just for fun I thought I would add a few things here.

1. if you add the chrome extension from https://sharegpt.com/ then you can
print save the chat.openai.com output seamlessly.

2. If you are ambitious you could port this extension to safari and then
port it to ios for iphone and ipda

3. if you used hypercard instead of livecode there were more sample code
available and then you could easily migrate to livecode (similarly to get
complex routines you could ask for python or another language that had a
large code base to pull from)

4. you can start with asking it to write a routine and then after it
responds you can then ask it to enhance the routine or add to the routine
etc as if you were dialoguing with a programmer

5. I have found that it makes its best effort based on the level of cases
and so not all the code is correct but fairly close (I did a test with
mathematica). Optionally copilot is more rigid and alpha code is also more
precise but limited to two languages

6. it's other strength is writing blog topics, letters, marketing etc

Not sure if any of this is of interest.

Re: Date and time

Obviously I overthought this (thanks Bob)...I was trying to convert the

Date and time

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

I'm pondering the easiest way to do a linear scale based on date and time
data.

My thoughts are that if you can change 06-Jun-2019;09:05:21 to epoch
seconds then it would possible to take all the similar timestamped data and
change it to seconds thus using it as an "x-axis" scale for graphing
purposes.

Of course after the scale is done and the determination of the number of
ticks used (i think it would be between 5 and 10 ) then you could reverse
the tick marks labels from seconds back to time.

I guess my difficulty is is getting 06-Jun-2019;09:05:21 converted to
seconds. I have gone through several of the dictionary details around
converting but have not found a solution...

Any suggestions?

thanks,

Glen

Design questions...

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hello,

I was looking for input on the following design questions...I haven't done
anything for years so I am looking for other developers' experiences.

1. what would be considered the smallest stack size for a desktop app?

2. Does the above fill most of the screens in use today ...ie what is the
noraml or considered the standard screen resolution for a desktop laptop?

3. Are apps considered acceptable if the user needs to scroll down to see
the full app.

4. Are menu bars (ie File Open) still necessary or are users familiar
enough with section buttons?

5. If the stack is too large for a user (say they use a lower resoultion
screen notebook then is there a way to detect this and have scroll bars
appear?

I appreciate any insights the list may have.

Line Graph Widget - Plotting time series

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hello,

I am trying to use the Line Graph Widget to grapg a time series (x axis)
where the time is in the format 2:45:16

The time data is being treated like text and therefore tries to plot using
every x series as a x label.

Optimally I would like to see only a handful of x labels spread that covers
the time period as x labels.

I also tried just using linear data series for the x axis and the Line
Graph Widget wants to put a label for every number.

Is there a property that could be set that recognizes the x data series as
a number or time?

thanks,

Why such a large external folder on Windows?

Hello,

I took a very basic app that has a browser widget and made a standalone for
OS X and Windows in LC 9.0.5

I was shocked that the Windows standalone has an external folder of 116.5
MB plus the .exe file where as on OS X the single standalone file was 18MB.

I cannot fathom the concept of pushing out a 116.5 MB app where its OS X
version as almost a 10th the size.


Is there something in the standalone features that I need to turn off?

Re: Old Rev stack feature / view ...where is it in LC 8

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

I found the problem...in my Indy Version 8.0.0 DP4 there is no image
library under the development menu??

In LC 6.7.6 there is.

So why isn't there one in LC 8.0.0?

Re: Old Rev stack feature / view ...where is it in LC 8

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

No, it would show all the controls a stack has which includes the imported
ones.

When you scrolled through the images it contained the really old Metacard
images.

You can see this when you want to add an image to a button but that is when
you are in the button’s property manager selecting an image.

I was sure there was a view option which allowed you to edit which images
get stored with a stack.

Perhaps asking the question how do you remove an imported image?

Old Rev stack feature / view ...where is it in LC 8

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hello,

I have an old rev stack that I had saved images as controls and could
reference them by their ID number and remember that you could bring up all
controls used by rev to see what controls you had saved.

I can't seem to find that anywhere in LC 8?

Re: Regex (matchChunk) help...

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hi Jerry,

I may be wrong but it looks like your solution assumes that the line has
the beginning and ending I am looking for in the first and last
positions...in my example text that I gave it was all one line and the
string I am looking for is somewhere in the middle. I may not have been
clear but the example text looks like a paragraph with multiple lines but
it is actually a single line and the formatting of it may be deceiving.

Regex (matchChunk) help...

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hello,

I have a couple of hundred pages of text where I need to extract out a
different string.

The ending of each string I need has the same endingskyrider1

The beginning of each string is the same   selkirkst

The middle of each string can be any text.

The problem is that within each line where a string exists there are
several strings that have the same beginning selkirkst but none of the have
the correct ending skyrider1.

My thoughts are to find ending of the string first and then work backwards
to the first beginning string.

I created the following example which is gibberish but should make this
clearer... this is the string I want to extract from the line given is
 *selkirkst is
placed in the second **skyrider1*



Use the *selkirkst* function to check whether a *string* contains a
specified pattern. If *selkirkst* includes a pair of parentheses, the
position of the substring matching the part of theregular expression inside
the parentheses is placed in the variables in the *positionVarsList*. The
number of the first character in the matching substring is placed in the
first variable in the positionVarsList, and the number of the last
*selkirkst is
placed in the second **skyrider1*. Additional starting and ending
positions, matching additional parenthetical expressions, are placed in
additional pairs of variables in thepositionVarsList. If the
*selkirkst* function
returns false, the values of the variables in the positionVarsListare not
changed. The string and regularExpression are always case-sensitive,
regardless of the setting of the caseSensitive property. (If you need to
make a case-insensitive comparison, use "(?i)" at the start of the
regularExpression to make the match case-insensitive.)

The next line will not have *is placed in the second*  but some other text
*selkirkst*     *skyrider1*

I am not sure if this explains it well enough but I believe a regex
expression could be used (or perhaps a matchChunk) to extract the correct
string from each line of text.

Any suggestions?

thanks,

Glen

Graphing widget questions

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Following up from previous suggestions I have looked at the LC Graphing
widget and have a couple of questions in hopes of recommendations.

The widget looks promising but I will be doing a time series graph with
several thousands of points.

- I need to have the number of x-axis labels look reasonable spaced for the
size of graph which means I would want to do a minimum of 10 and a maximum
of 30 labels...not a label for every point. So I want to take the total
time of the data and divide it into 30 blocks of equal time. This means
that the x-axis range still covers the data range but the labels need to be
changed.

Suggestions on the best approach?

- I am not sure if the labels are label fields or actually SVG?

But either way I would need to rotate the text 90 degrees so the 30 labels
would fit...so if SVG (which I think the text is how would I do this). This
would also be useful to know since if the text is SVG then I could add
additional information that would resize nicely.

Or am I going down the "rabbit hole" and this is not easily done?

thanks,

Glen

Entitlements file are invalid...what does LC set?

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

I updated my system to the following:

Sierra 10.12.6
Xcode 8.3.3
Livecode Community 8.1.6

I can build an iOS app with no errors BUT when I go to install it on my
iPad I get the following Xcode error:

*The executable was signed with invalid entitlements*.
The entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing Entitlements
file are invalid, not permitted, or do not match those specified in your
provisioning profile. (0xE8008016)

I don't know if this is a bug in LC or an Apple Xcode / Provisioning issue.

Has anyone experienced this error while using Livecode?

Sierra update --> Xcode install --> LC no provisioning profile

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Well, as usual, upgrading OS X and doing an install of Xcode causes LC
8.0.01 not to find any provisioning profile and wants iOS 9.3 SDK.

The Xcode shows a 10.3 SDK so now I need to figure out how to add earlier
SDKs...any suggestions on how to go about this?

Or do I need to download Xcode 7.3 which has the iOS 9.3 SDK?

Re: Thoughts on BLOBs in SQLite

Thanks Steve...it looks like (in my current case) that the encode / decode
SQLite text field is the easiest way to get me solution.

Re: Thoughts on BLOBs in SQLite

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

My databases will be fixed in their content (basically they are going to be
different test engines for students) so the images will not be edited nor
changed.

I am thinking that this may help me avoid any future issues that may arise
if different platforms have different directory structures and also for
maintenance ... a single database file is easy to deliver and easy to
delete.

So my next question would be does someone have a simple example stack in
inserting an image and retrieving the image in a LC stack?

Should the image be encoded prior to inserting or is native format fine?

Thoughts on BLOBs in SQLite

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hello,

I was looking for feedback on whether it is better to store images as BLOBs
in an SQLite database for a LC app or store paths to the images in the
SQLite database and the images in a separate folder.

Any help in understanding possible performance and memory issues is what I
am looking for.

Can I assume that any issues would be the same for both Android and iOS?

thanks,

Glen

Re: Is there Digital Clock Component out there?

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

I was maybe over thinking it since I was looking at a series of repeat
loops and implementing mouseclicks for stopping and starting.

Your solution is perfect since it is great for a time card solution and
with a little mod I can make it into a stop watch solution.

Thanks Mike.

Re: iOS SDK Question

Hi James,

Well I saw this in my account...but the license file and online activation
won't work?

So is this telling me I still have valid license for the following versions
but the system won't allow me to install them?

I have tried both the license file which ends up a zero bytes or automatic
licensing where I repeatedly get an error message...

You license allows you access to the following platforms:

Mac valid from version 5.5.x to version 8.0.2
Windows valid from version 5.5.x to version 8.0.2
Linux valid from version 5.5.x to version 8.0.2
iOS valid from version 5.5.x to version 8.0.2

Re: iOS SDK Question

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hi James, thanks for pointing this to me.

I guess my earlier licenses that I had which do not fall into this category
would be fine though the versions would be quite old.

For example version 4.6 I should be able to do closed source apps still
since the license that came with it at the time did not have this
requirement.

I am not certain about the last version I have installed on my old machine
but I think it was in the 6 series and I bet if I boot up the machine the
software should still work...it's the software that came after my license
expired last year is what will need a new license for to build closed apps?

Again, I should be getting an answer from Livecode support this coming week
to clarify things.

Glen

Re: iOS SDK Question

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

I'm not sure so I am waiting to hear from Livecode support. 

But Pycharm tried a system where users would lose their ability to continually 
use the product after licenses expired and the users revolted and Pycharm 
reversed their policy.

I guess it comes to the question of how you want to work with your user base.

Once I get an answer I will post it here to confirm what the situation is.

Re: iOS SDK Question

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

As I mentioned previously...I do not have an active subscription.

My license expired August 2016. 

When I log into my account the highest version of Livecode Indy that shows I 
can download is 8.1.3.

I even tried activating a 7 version of Livecode which was a year prior to my 
license expiring and it fails.

But I believe that I should still be able to use the Livecode Indy version that 
was covered prior to expiration. Hence, my email to Livecode support in asking 
what is the highest Livecode version that I can still use.

Re: iOS SDK Question

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hi Paul,
It looks like you are correct and so I have started the massive download.

I assume that once installed I would then do an "add entry" in 
Livecode-->Preferences-->Mobile and select the /Applications/Xcode

This should then find the SDK in the contents of Xcode...

Please let me know if I missed anything.

thanks,

Glen

iOS SDK Question

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hello,

I currently have Livecode Indy 8.0.1 and am running on OS X 10.11.5 (El
Capitan) with Xcode Version 8.0 (8A218a).

When I go to generate a standalone I get the following error message:

*In order to perform device builds you need to have iOS 9.3 SDK configured.*
*- iOS  9.3 comes with Xcode 7.3*


How do I find what version of SDK I have and in Livecode Preferences what
is the location I can add the entry for the SDK?

Years ago in Livecode 5 it seemed that Livecode knew all the SDK Versions
available and the preferences reflected this?

regards,

Glen
