Re: Your installer is broken

On Windows the installer will create a folder inside the location you select, so that's why you saw two LiveCode folders (the one you made and the one the installer made.) Also, all file paths use forward slashes in LiveCode so that's why those were there. I'm not sure why you'd get the first

I too would prefer this way because its the livecode readable way. While this particular one is a pretty simple regex-- put replacetext(tNames,(\bc),x) it would get complicated way too fast depending on need. A for each loop would be fine and work fast also, but I personally wouldn't mind your

Jacqueline, I do think that there is a timeing issue that you have to be aware of if you a calling revloadedstacks. But something strange _IS_ going on. Please create a stack and enter the script below into the stack script and save the stack and quit livecode. Doubleclick on the stack icon.

Things are working correctly for me. 7.0.0, (since 7.0.1 still won't install) When starting up the stack and IDE by opening the stack,false is first. After the IDE is fully open, allowinterupts seems to always be true for me. Not managing to duplicate the problem so far. I did adjust things so

Mike, Your plugin suggestion was a good one. When I removed them all I am now getting the expected behavior. I now need to add them back in one at a time to find the one that is not setting allowinterrupts to true. It does seem that allowinterupts is the correct vehicle to tell when the

I'm having problems with every version of Livecode I've tried using in the past month or so. On 5.5 I get a crash with an image when I use the inspector to look at the colors/patterns. So I started to use 7.0 a few weeks ago, but went down to 6.6 and 6.7 when I got a corrupted stack with 7.0.

No suggestions really, because i'm not sure whats going on (he says, as he gets ready to make suggestions anyway). It seems that since all the plugins are a part of the sequence in that handler I mentioned, and that plugins are loaded before the allowinterupts is set, it seems that you'd end up
