Addendum: If I use "put target" instead of "put line 2 of target" I get what you got, Kay. It returns the name. So apparently it requires forcing text evaluation, which is what "get line 2 of target" does. Interesting. On 4/24/2016 12:05 AM, J. Landman Gay wrote: On 4/23/2016 8:01 PM, Kay C

Robert, I just re-read your post and realized my solution still couldn't address your issue - that of sound quality. Unless... is there an earlier version of LC where 44.1 khz stereo was supported? If so, you could build a slave app with that. I suppose you could use a commandline app like

My previous post used in effect two seperate paths. One advantage to using this method it that by changing the "fill rule" you effectively get two icons for the price of one, a filled one and an outline one. This was indeed what I was after. However I was curious as to other examples I had seen

Hi Robert, I recently had to deal with this as part of moving a Mac-only desktop app I maintain for a client from LC 6.x to 7.x. My solution (which works nicely) was to create a standalone 'slave' app using LC 6.6.5 whose only job is to record sounds. This recorder app is stored in the bundle

OK I worked it out. One needs to draw two paths, an outer and an inner. Then open the SVG file in a text editor and remove everything except the actual path instructions. This includes removing "fill" and "stroke" attributes too. The paste the remaining path into the "icon path" of the widget.
