Re: One Rect For All specificaiton

Hi Bramanatha: It sounds like you're working at actual hi-res size when you may not need to. You should be able to lay out a stack at half your hi-res dimensions, and the stack will auto-scale to fit the device. The only upscaling aspect you really need to be concerned about is images. You can

Dictionary alternatives

While the Dictionary is being repaired for v8.0dp13, I was hoping to install an alternative from the community, but alas I can't find one. I haven't maintained the one I'd made for MetaCard in years, and BVG Docu appears inaccessible (and I don't even know if it's been updated for v7 or v8):

Re: Weird crash when stack is in use

Don't know about your crashing problem, but the reason the library stack script can't find the function handler in the main stack is that it's in the wrong place in the message path. From the LC dictionary: The start using command places a stack's script into the message path *after* the

Re: Dictionary alternatives

So, can anyone guide me as far as decoding the actual entry data from the api.sqlite file? I'm close to having a basic dictionary browser done, but am clueless as far as decoding column "entry_data" from table "dictionary_data" The sqlite file is located at.. C:\Program Files

Re: Dictionary alternatives

Looks like entry_data has a data type of blob so who knows what format it's in. There were a bunch of new functions introduced in DP12 to access various levels of data in the dictionary so might be easier to use those. Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrowser

Re: Dictionary alternatives

The entry_data is arrayEncoded - it's keyed by the top-level 'elements' in the dictionary (I.e. Name, Summary, Type, Description etc) but some of those are sub-arrays - for example syntax is a numerical sub-array with all the syntax variants. On Sat, 2 Jan 2016 at 22:48, Mike Bonner

Re: Dictionary alternatives

I appreciate all the good ideas about rolling my own interim fix for this, but perhaps I should clarify my interest: Part of my soon-to-be-release devolution 4.0 toolkit includes the ability to switch between standard IDE components and community-based alternatives. For example, it has a

You could open the dictionary html file in a browser. That might not work in DP 12 but should in DP 11. On Sat, 2 Jan 2016 at 18:18, Richmond wrote: > On 02/01/16 15:53, Richard Gaskin wrote: > > While the Dictionary is being repaired for v8.0dp13, I was hoping to >

Re: Dictionary alternatives

Isn't there an api.sqlite file that has all the info in it? Shouldn't be too bad to roll your own reader. On Sat, Jan 2, 2016 at 1:34 PM, Ali Lloyd wrote: > You could open the dictionary html file in a browser. That might not work > in DP 12 but should in DP 11. > > On

Thanks Ali. Thats one of the things I tried, but got no keys after arraydecode. I'll go back and see what I did wrong. Appreciate it. Sorry for the tangent richard, alas, now i'm interested in making this work, so i'm off to beat my head against the brick wall again. On Sat, Jan 2, 2016 at

Re: One Rect For All specificaiton

Scott: I’m not actually interested in working in hi-res. ON our last project I worked in native size (iphone 6+ …..736H X 414w) it was enough to learn/know to make all images 1472 X 828 (then we get quality), import those and simple resie them to fit. By on my new LG monitor (huge!) using 14
