RE: [warning?] v13 (+?) - Type(String Array) = Text array
Hi Chip, This has been Standard Behavior since Unicode was introduced in v11. Please see Page 260 of the 4D v11 upgrade manual: ftp://ftp.4d.com/aci_product_reference_library/4D_PRODUCT_DOCUMENTATION/PDF_Docs_by_4D_Product_A-Z/4D/4D_v11_SQL/4D_v11_Upgrade.pdf Kind Regards, Tim PENNER ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
[warning?] v13 (+?) - Type(String Array) = Text array
4D does not return 21 (string array) from TYPE when the item being tested is in fact a string array! Try this: String array($Fred;20) $x := Type($Fred) $x == 18 (text array) I found this while trying to write some generic code to manipulate arrays. In this specific instance I am trying to (blindly) resize array(s) Arrayutl_Resize_array(newSize;Array_ptr1;Array_ptr2...) if the array is any type, except ARRAY STRING, I can simpley use a compiler directive to resize the array. However, this is NOT the case with a string array, as I do not know the string length in the array declaration. So, I have code which uses Delete from array, or Insert into array to resize a string array, preserving/avoiding the string length issue. Case of : ($Difference<0) DELETE FROM ARRAY($Array_Pointer->;$Size+1;Abs($Difference)) : ($Difference>0) INSERT IN ARRAY($Array_Pointer->;Size of array($Array_Pointer->);$Difference) Else //already at correct size End case BUT -- this code will not ever run, as TYPE treats a string array as a text array and returns the value 18 (text array) rather then 21 (string array). Any workarounds?? does this exist in new versions?

RE: Importing contact list from Mail/outlook on OSX
The plugin page says it supports both carbon and cocoa; but the icons on the download page suggest it's only been tested with v15 andv16... https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-address-book Are you experiencing any issues with the plugin in v17? Generally speaking, when an issue occurs with something that is available on GitHub it is preferable to have the issue logged on the github issues page, which is sort of like a built in bug tracking system provided by github: List of open issues: https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-address-book/issues Submit new issue: https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-address-book/issues/new -Tim ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Importing contact list from Mail/outlook on OSX
I have an email interface in my 4D application that I used to send email and would like to have access to the list of contact from mail and/or outlook on OSX dynamically. I can certainly run a background process on every x minutes to update a table in 4D. But ideally I do not want to store the contact in 4D and just access it on the fly. For speed purposes I understand that I might not have the choice to duplicate the contact in a table. I have used back then the plugins called address book written by Miyako. It was in version 14 and that solution was working nicely. But now I am on v17 and I am not sure if that plugin is compatible with v17 and we still be supported for the next few years. I was wondering if anyone did something similar in 4D. If anyone can point me in any direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

What version of 4D? I'm not having any problems with 16.3. Are you setting the update folder to the full path of the application package?

Automatic updating of built apps
When using SET UPDATE FOLDER and RESTART 4D, the resulting app is not a correct application package on MacOS. The update folder contains the app file: AppUpdate SuccessWare.app Contents …. Which is a correctly built app. But after the update, the updated app looks like this: SuccessWare.app SuccessWare.app Contents …. In other words, the update process is placing the update app inside the original app instead of replacing the original app with the update app! I must be missing something here. -- Jeff Grann SuccessWare, Inc. ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
