Re: Custom Desktop Folders

That's it! Mike, thank you so much for your help on this. It's been a tricky thing. For the life of me I still can't figure out a few aspects of this, for example, why folders return to Read-only after I manually un-check that box in the folder's Properties window. But the Livecode work and

answer dialog duplication on building standalone?

I'm now getting a warning when building stacks to the effect that there is already a stack named answer dialog,and that livecode won't be able to tell them apart. There is no such stack in my own stacks. Is anyone else seeing this? -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq. (702) 508-8462 _

Re: Custom Desktop Folders

S attribute marks a system file. Most likely, the A was already set. It sounds like its not taking multiple attribs at once. You might try attrib +h +s for the ini file, and then (if 8 is the same) +r for the folder after all is said and done. If you can't get +s and +h to both set in one comman

Re: Custom Desktop Folders

Looks like you don't need the full path after all, as long as the icon is in the same directory. Can't try on xp, but setting +s and +h on the desktop.ini should cover both bases. Sorry for the spam flurry. On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 9:43 AM, Mike Bonner wrote: > Looks like setting the folder to

Re: Custom Desktop Folders

Looks like setting the folder to read only does NOT make it impossible to write into the folder. If you use the properties dialog, that is not the case, so using attrib is the way. On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 9:41 AM, Mike Bonner wrote: > h is the hidden attribute. so +h should hide it. Weird. Goi

Re: Custom Desktop Folders

h is the hidden attribute. so +h should hide it. Weird. Going to try it real quick (win 7).. Ok. I got the attribs to set by doing them one at a time. Not sure why 2 at once doesn't work. I also read that the folder must be set to read only. SO I did attrib +r to the folder and poof. Icon. O

Re: Custom Desktop Folders

Mike - I've eliminated all spaces in the path but thanks, that's always a good thing to check. At this point nothing I do flips the Attributes from "A" to "HSA". I've changed the minus to a plus sign and tried Klaus' concatenation syntax but still no change in the Attributes. Maybe I should

Klaus - it seems to me the issue here is the Dekstop.ini file's Attributes, not the .ico file. Even after I manually set it the .ico file's Attributes are still "A" while manually setting the folder's icon does change the Dsktop.ini's Attributes to "HSA" On 4/16/2015 10:57 AM, Klaus major-k w

Re: Custom Desktop Folders

oh yep, and as klaus says, if theres a space somewhere in the path, you'll need to force quotes around it, or use shortfilepath() to obviate the need. On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 9:03 AM, Klaus major-k wrote: > Hi Ray, > > did you try with QUOTES? > > > Am 16.04.2015 um 23:00 schrieb Ray : > > > >

Re: Custom Desktop Folders

If you set things with livecode, then hit f5 to refresh, (after creating the file,setting the attrib..) does it update, and then show the icon? Also, I did a quick search, you might be able to do this using vbscript. Also also.. *grin* It looks like XP needs the system attribute set, and others ne

Scott, I looked at your wed site and wondered if you are thinking about apps that use that new way of thinking about math operations using that new grid system. Don't remember what it's called, but my grandson uses it. Some app for that could be very useful for home schoolers, too. Btw, there i

Re: Custom Desktop Folders

It shouldn't matter where you store the icon. In fact, it'd be better if you created a folder for your icons somewhere like the app support directory or some such. Then you can point to the icon file, and if you move the folder around, it shouldn't matter. Heres a link to a forum post that uses en

Re: Custom Desktop Folders

Mike - I believe you're right, but it's kind of odd. If I give it the full path to an image file (ico, png, etc) it works as long as I leave the image where it is. Move it and it breaks. The work around seems to be to leave the image file at the root level of the folder which is displaying i
