EU VAT changes small software businesses

Re: EU VAT changes small software businesses
Hi Dave, I forgot to post that link. :-( It doesn't help much because I'm a sole trader under the UK VAT threshold - VAT-registering the entire business for the sake of 1000€ in software turnover would wipe out about half my income. At the moment it looks like I'll either have to stop the software side completely or start posting the software on CDs instead of via digital download. I'm a *little* bit pissed off at the moment...

The only thing that I could come up with was that my wife upgraded her iPhone to ios5 round about the time this started happening. From the circumstances, I believe this is happening when the iPhone is syncing wirelessly with iTunes on my wife's Mac laptop. That only happens over WiFi and when the phone is charging, both of which are the case when this wireless traffic problem occurs. I verified this by switching off WiFi on the iuPhone last time this happened and sure enough, the wireless traffic stopped. Have any of you iPhone users experienced anything similar to this? Obviously there has to be WiFi traffic for the iPhone to sync, but there isn't that much data on my wife's iPhone so I'm not understanding the extreme wireless activity.

Re: Making Sense of Licenses
Did the omega bundle include updates? Have you contacted RunRev about this? I'm paid up until 2015 but LC 5.0.0 wasn't showing up as a downloadable item, they fixed this within a couple of hours of my contacting them.

If you have previously bought desktop deployment that should still be working. Is the Web Deployment the web plugin? Yes. How long is the license good for? How can I find out when the other licenses expire? Probably best to get in touch with RunRev directly.

Re: How do I refresh the content of a field every 5 seconds?
Either have a repeat loop which includes a 'wait 5 seconds with messages' line or a handler which ends with 'send whateverthenameofthishandleris to me in 5 seconds. Both should do this without locking the interface.

Re: Purchasing from an iOs App
As far as I'm aware there have never been any restrictions on buying non-digital content. In-app buying of content for the app itself (such as levels for games, books for Kindle or digital magazine issues/subscriptions etc.) is where the 30% kicks in.

Re: iOS UIWebView/MOBGui overlay question
On 28 Aug 2011, at 11:35, Maarten Koopmans wrote: You can't make controls on top of a fullscreen UIWebView. You can make a UIWebView that has limited size and put controls around it. In fact, one of the mobile examples in the iOS pack is a little web browser that does just that. That's what I was afraid of, from previous experience with the desktop web view. As a fullscreen web view is a necessity for the app I'm planning it's time for either hacks or learning Cocoa from scratch. :-( One possible approach is to load everything within my own HTML page in an iFrame and find out if I can layer a PNG over the sub-page but the problem then is how to find out when it's been pressed - I can see how to talk to the page via JavaScript but not how to go in the other direction other than catching browserLoadRequest with delayRequests set to true but that's going to stop the sub-page loading in the first place. Anyone have any bright ideas?

Re: iOS UIWebView/MOBGui overlay question
It's going to be a dynamic navbar with a lot of changing content in it.

Still Cocoa/Objective-C but a whole lot less; with a bit of luck you can find your nerdef code in a cookbook or on the web. ___ 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: OT (semi) - Panorama Image Delivery Options
On 25 Aug 2011, at 06:40, Sivakatirswami wrote: We are finally getting into panoramas here. We have got our shooting (with paralax: attachment on a tripod, that keeps the len on center during rotation) and stitching working great. But I'm clueless on delivery. Simple left to right panning, stop-at-left-right-edges, is a no brainer and could be done in LiveCode. Galleria (my fav JS slideshows= framework) will handle this easily on the web. But the continuous 360 keep going right and end up at the same place was what I was looking for. Chipp gave me suggestions years ago about building side scroller games, but I don't have them around handy. Anyone have any experience and advice for: 1) Delivery of panoramic 360 imagers inside LiveCode stacks? without having to resort to QTVR? using Livecode scripting? Or am I dreamingI would love to make some edutainment titles for kids to explore.. (they would have to download the stack) QTVR files are your best bet for showing panoramas within LiveCode unless you know the 3D plugin well. The side-scroller approach is only going to work if your panoramas have a very low vertical field of view - just long thin strips. Even then, distortion will be visible where horizontal features are visible in the image. 2) And for web delivery of Panos? Any best of breed options that you like? KR Pano looks interesting; it does HTML5 in addition to Flash. Either KRPano plus the iOS plugin or http://gardengnomesoftware.com/pano2vr.php which will convert you panoramas into QTVR/Flash and iOS files in one go. In a stack one could possibly put multiple buttons side by side and then set their image data to the same image and set up a scroller... but it would be hard to do hot spots. if you want to click on the bird and have an audio play... in a sixth iteration of the photo to the right, the bird is a different bird even if it looks the same to the viewer. hmmm If anyone had a script for causing a photo to move left and right as the mouse approached the edge of the stack window.. that would be helpful too. Again, that's not going to help with most panoramas as they will look distorted.
