If you notice, when you set the read only aspect of the folder using the shell, then look at the properties of the folder, the box isn't checked. Its greyed out. This is because you set the folder itself. When you use the checkbox in the proprieties inspector for the folder, you're actually

I see. So there are three different states of this check box: empty, checked and squared. That's a new thing for me. I always thought there were just two states of both check boxes and radio buttons, but I think I can handle that. Thanks for laying it out. On another note, I've discovered

I'm not positive, but I THINK when you put files into the folder, it makes adjustments so that a) it still kinda shows your icon, while b) its trying to show previews of whats in the folder. I'm not sure this is what you're seeing, but it sounds right. I think there was a way around this

Weird isn't it? I may have mentioned this,too, but after I manually change the Folder Picture via the properties window at the desktop everything works great from within Livecode if I create folders of the same name at the same path. I'm naming my folders a single capital letter as I test

Strange. Wish I had win8 to try. If I set things using the property inspector, it does adjust that file, but if I only do it with my script (and set the IconResource) it stays the same. Most of the stuff you list in the file is for inside except the logo. foldertype just adjust settings for

Re: answer dialog duplication on building standalone?

Hi Richard, I see this very often. Perhaps it has to do with my own scripts that use the answer and ask dialogs immediately before I build a standalone. It could also have something to do with password-protected stacks. I tend to ignore these warnings. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille
