Less likely these days. With the rapid rate of change in the LC engine 
and the improved stability of the LC IDE in recent years, most of us 
have migrated our effort from attempting to maintain a relevant 
alternative IDE to simply porting any unique tools for compatibility 
with the LC IDE.


There's still arguably a role for a lean IDE like MC as a test bed for 
discerning whether a given issue encountered in LC is in the engine or 
the IDE.   But given the many enhancements in the engine, attempting to 
maintain MC as a productive alternative delivered a lower ROI than 
simply moving the things we like about it into LC.

Seems your opinion does not apply to my reasons :)

Apparently.  What are you looking to do with MC?

 Hi
 
 Yesterday I tried to use MC on windows, and it would throw a ton of errors on 
 any user action like opening the message box, changing the tool, etc. In 
 addition it was impossible to look at any scripts, because it wouldn't 
 actually show the relevant scripts in the script editor window. I also saw 
 two stacks open in the window menu, that i hadn't ever seen on mac os x, 
 but was unable to even look at them (stsScriptingTools and 
 stsST_IntelliScript). 

Bjornke,

Those two stacks are ones in my development environment… I'm assuming that 
you're getting some error early on in MC's loading process before it gets a 
chance to reset the window menu and initialize MC properly.

Thanks Ken  Hugh

Maybe this is a problem with the community version somehow? I shall try the 
commercial version and see if things work better there. Other then that, I 
guess there's no way for me to fix it, unless i can rename the home stack and 
open that in the LC IDE. Maybe I can also disable the gui stuff by going to 
lockMessages very early..

I'l try to poke around a bit, I hoped someone already knew this problem :-/

 Most peculiar, BvG. All working fine for me on Win7: v4.52, v5.02, v5.5,
 v6.1 and v6.5 all using MC IDE 4.1
 
 Maybe a re-install is needed?

windows version broken?

2014-02-28 Thread Björnke von Gierke
Hi

Yesterday I tried to use MC on windows, and it would throw a ton of errors on 
any user action like opening the message box, changing the tool, etc. In 
addition it was impossible to look at any scripts, because it wouldn't actually 
show the relevant scripts in the script editor window. I also saw two stacks 
open in the window menu, that i hadn't ever seen on mac os x, but was unable 
to even look at them (stsScriptingTools and stsST_IntelliScript). 

Most perplexing to me is that MC does have exactly zero of those problems on 
mac os x.

I asked Jacque and she said it might be the script editor itself who's throwing 
fits. Does anyone know what could be the cause of symptoms like that, and/or 
maybe someone already solved the problem?

Thanks for your Time
Björnke
