Property profiles apparently broken in LiveCode 4.5

2010-10-13 Thread David Beck


Hello,

Something has apparently changed from 4.0.0 to 4.5 that has badly broken 
some logic in one of my stacks that use property profiles. It looks like 
the behavior of revSetCardProfile may have changed. The stack works as 
expected in 4.0.0 but is broken in 4.5.


Has anybody else experienced problems when using property profiles in 
4.5? Is this on a list of fixes?


Also, in a separate but closely related question, where can I find a the 
4.0.0 installer?


Thanks very much.

 I've never really understood how profiles are supposed work -

On a this list a few months ago property profiles were discussed, and I got
the feeling there were very few people that actually used these special
properties.

What would they be used for, Language changes? Skinning?

what is the scope of what is supposed to get changed and can that same scope
be reset to the starting settings?  Or could one end up with a mess of
unwanted default property settings?  Just as important, what *doesn't* get
changed?

This would be similar to the trepidation I have using the Geometry
Manager... one slip of the code and it's *curtains* for one's layout.
Or this could be the coolest thing for creating custom objects by script
ever.

the inquiring coder wants to know...
