Re: How does works Sandboxing code in LiveCode Community?

Why only for LiveCode Community? It might be nice to sandbox the running of any stack on any version. There's currently a discussion on the engine contributors forum about needing an option to disallow the setting of scripts entirely in a running standalone for security reasons. Perhaps there's

Thanks to Devin, Jim, and Mark for taking a crack at this, but it seems this was not a solvable problem as desired. Thierry offered to take a look at an actual download of the gif, and he determined that the data is somehow corrupt. Although Preview and Safari seem to be able to deal with it, LC

Great news--not because it affects me but because this was the only negative commentary about LC going Open Source on macintouch.com. No reason to take criticism for something so small and obscure the virtues of LC. BTW, maybe some of you other LiveCoders would like to go to macintouch and pos
