Re: A question for LC and Windows 10 experts

[Tom Glod via use-livecode]

I can confirm that as long as your code does not crash, a lc stack will run
indefinitely.
Even sleep/awake cycles do not disturb it.
However, the last time I tried to run a lc stack with the 'windowless'
mode... i forget what flag it is ... -ui maybe?
I suddenly had full cpu usage on that core,
Other than that.:)
You can trust the engine.
If you deploy well tested code.

Re: A question for LC and Windows 10 experts

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi  jbv,

i have several apps running on Windows 10  (and before that on Vista) that run 
unattended. Not all on the same machine, but up to 3 standalones per machine.
Some standalones  are running in the background and the repeating tasks are 
executed using the "sendto ... in  seconds" and other standalones are 
executed every x minutes using the Windows 10  Task Scheduler.
This both runs here now for years without any significant problem.

Another nice tool for running apps at a scheduled time is MacroScheduler from 
MjtNet (https://www.mjtnet.com). It's not just a Scheduler but also a powerful 
Macro tool. I am using that tool also for years now. A little bit expensive one 
could say, but worth every cent.

Regards,

Matthias

A question for LC and Windows 10 experts

[jbv via use-livecode]

Hi list,
I have a request from a client to sync an accounting software
running on a PC under Windows 10 and a database on a remote
server.
Below is a short description of the solution I have imagined,
and I would welcome opinions & critics from other list members,
as I'm not really familiar with Win 10.

- I will build a small standalone app with LC, that will launch
at start up along with Win 10 and will keep running in the
background. Let's name it "myApp".

- some programmable tasks in the accounting software will create
xml files in a local directory when some actions are performed,
for instance : entering a new customer or a new order.

- every 5 min or so, myApp will check the directory for possible
new files, and will send their content to the remote server as
parameters of a POST request.
If no file is found, the POST request will be sent to the server
anyway.

- on the server, a script will be triggered and will enter the
parameters of the request (the xml data) into the DB, and will
return data relative to possible events that happened on the server,
if any, in the form of xml.

- myApp will write the returned xml data as a file in a directory
on the PC, and another programmable task in the software will read
the file and import the data.

My main concern is the app running constantly in the background.
Is it safe ? Is it Win 10 compatible ? Is there anything I miss ?
Thanks in advance.

jbv

LC on Windows 10

[Neville Smythe via use-livecode]

My users find Windows 10 takes 10 seconds or more to save a 9Mb stack with app 
compiled under 8.1.x, Mac and Linux save in a fraction of a second. Very 
annoying as the app freezes while saving.

Re: Older version of LC vs Windows 10, app not responding

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

For the record, we have problems scanning from copiers to file shares on 
Windows 10 Pro or Home (home is more of an issue). I had a user a couple days 
ago where the first scan worked fine, but the second scan wasn't accepted. This 
happened every time. I set the scan folder up in the Users/Public folder so 
it's not sandboxed. Others will get wierd printing problems that other win10 
users will not get. 

I say that to say Win10 has odd problems so it doesn't surprise me that certain 
people are having issues with the same app while others are not.

Re: Older version of LC vs Windows 10, app not responding

[Geoff Canyon via use-livecode]

The app is not code-signed -- that wasn't nearly as much of a thing when I
built it. My friend distributes the app to multiple people. Some with
Windows 10 are running the app with no problem, but this one new user is
having this issue. My friend sent another disc and hasn't heard back, so
fingers crossed the problem resolved. I'm hoping to avoid having to rebuild
and redeliver the app because it's been something like seven years, but
sooner or later it's going to have to be done.

thanks!

Re: Older version of LC vs Windows 10, app not responding

[tbodine via use-livecode]

Hi Geoff,

You app worked for this same user in the past, but now does not... Did
Windows 10 break it, or did the user migrate to another machine?

Possible culprits could be the user's security software or IT policies that
make your app untrusted. Is your app code-signed? Installed in an unusual
location? 

HTH,
Tom

Older version of LC vs Windows 10, app not responding

[Geoff Canyon via use-livecode]

I built an app for a friend of mine many years ago, I think with version
6.x of LC. He in turn has a customer running the app on Windows 10. Other
Windows 10 users aren't having an issue, but this one is getting a display
that says the app is "Not Responding".

I know that's vague, but I figured I'd throw it out there to see if anyone
has an idea.

thanks,

Geoff
