Hi,
I'm making a stack updater that downloads a LC stack to the user's hard drive
and replaces a stack there.
I plan to:
1. Have the user download a small updater stack and run it
2. The updater gets essential data from the user's old stack and writes
it to a file
3.
…great - thanks for the reminder Martin. I did check that site out last year
and meant to revisit once revServer reached production status - but my memory
failed me on this one!
Best,
Keith..

Hi there
Icons can be quite space-saving and also pleasing to the eye.

I'm using Transmit without a problem ; I found the Finder way on some website

Transmit on Mac is (for me) the best and easiest solution..

Hi Edward,
In LC, you'll find the Image Libraries in IDE stacks named revLib plus the
name of the library. If you switch on LiveCode UI Elements in the View
Menu, you'll see those stacks (if there are any in your application). Each
stack has one card that holds all the images.

This is probably a PATH issue. See when you launch your terminal, a bash

Reviewing the RevServer page at runrev.com, the last paragraph there makes a
brief mention of image rendering features. The docs for RevServer suggest
that things like export card won't work in RevServer, but if not then what
does image rendering mean?
yeah, it would be nice if we could use some of the image-processing features
we have on the desktop. We could create bitmap images like characters,
barcodes, graphs and charts in real time and then display them.
