Re: Rotate Picture

I think not. a DOM reference is independent from the 4D picture, except for ones that are embedded (exported with the "Own" option). then, a 4D text (the local variable) that contains the hex. representation of the reference is not in any way associated with the DOM reference, or the picture for

Re: Rotate Picture

I think the default export option is "copy" if you don't SVG_CLEAR (see Cannon's code) you'd be leaking memory. I suppose you could save speed with the "own" option (you won't need to CLEAR any more) but the difference is probably negligible. 2019/06/23 9:28、JOHN BAUGHMAN via 4D_Tech <4d_tech

Re: Window type -724 (more info)

use a calculator to break down the number to binary values. -724 decimal is 4 + 16 + 64 + 128 + 512 negative --- old constants used by the old Open window command is a combination of flags. some are official in 4D (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 2048, 4096, 8192) some are undocumented. https://doc.4d.c

Re: 4D v17 Mac Crashing on First Launch

4D (or any .app) must be installed by drag & drop from a signed .dmg, directly to a subfolder of /Applications, or by using a signed .pkg. if you .zip it yourself, or install elsewhere, the .app is translocated and you get all sorts of problems. > 2019/06/14 0:03、Narinder Chandi via 4D_Tech <4D

Re: v17.4 source Stand-alone and Remote: picture drop onto a picture field in an input form

I am unaware of any changes starting with v17 (I presume R4) but in general, the way to process drag and drop over a picture is: On After Edit: accept native drop or paste. On Drop: accept custom drag and drop. $0 must be assigned 0 in On Drag Over. On Drag Over: check if Pasteboard data size is
