Hi-Res Images at Natural Size?

I hope I'm missing something with regard to displaying hi res images in a mobile (iOS) stack... If one has a mobile stack built at "natural size" (say 320 x 568, iPhone 5), is it possible to display hi res images in the stack without resizing the stack? I have an image that's saved at double

Re: updating progress to user during long handler

Hi James, I find it sometimes helps to lock & unlock the screen right after updating a progress bar, when it's part of a long process at least. Or throw in a "wait 0 seconds" right after it - that can help too. It seems the OS sometimes needs a reminder that it's time for it to update the

Re: leap to future

Soon after HTML5 was released I too remembered Kevin's announcement and wondered why I was not seeing HTML5 in my license. I wrote to support and soon after HTML5 appeared in my license for all LC8's. So I am not sure what to make of the response from support stating they are separate as for me,

Re: updating progress to user during long handler

Ok, so no lockscreens anywhere in the routines being called from start to end. Guess the problem lies elsewhere. I put in a few BEEPs at each 'progressive step and they all fired ok but there was still no update to the text in my splash stack. I am using the glx framework and it might be that it

Re: LCB: Error: illegal escape in string

Doesn't seem like it should be treated as an escape character since it's in quotes, as you say. I'd enter a QCC report about it and see what the LCB team have to say. On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 5:55 PM Stephen MacLean wrote: > Hi Phil, > > Thanks for responding, I’m not

Re: LCB: Error: illegal escape in string

Hi Phil, Thanks for responding, I’m not one either and it works fine with no issues when run directly in LC. Removing the “\” does cure the error, but of course doesn’t work any more. So the question I guess is two fold: 1) Why is that considered an escape character when it is enclosed in

Build Number for Mobile Standalones?

Is there any way to get/set a build number for a mobile standalone like the build number used in Xcode? I'm not looking to set a custom property, but rather use a real build number that is saved along with the app's version number. Thanks for any pointers for this. Regards, Scott Rossi

Re: updating progress to user during long handler

Hi Craig, This is what I initially did but, as you surmised, I actually had no way of knowing or predicting the actual progress. I then made some calculations and 'step' loops placing a sequence of progress bar updates. Didn't work. Some bars didn't show and those that did didn't progress. Hence I

I'm not much of a regex guy, but what happens if you remove the backslash after {1,63} ? I assume something will probably stop working, but that's the only \ in the string. Phil Davis On 2/23/16 1:59 PM, Stephen MacLean wrote: Hi All, Working to build a library extension and I’m getting

Re: updating progress to user during long handler

Hi. While you have your processing handler doing its thing, why not increment a progress bar at intervals? I do not know if that process knows accurately where it is along its journey, but this is the best feedback for the user. I have noticed progress bars that proceed nicely, giving the
