Re: BUG: OSX Opening an App with a document

Seems like it could fire earlier but I guess it ensures consistency when double-clicking/dropping a document irrespective of whether the app is open or not. Although, if you’re using custom urls on iOS – which are sort of analogous – then mobileGetLaunchURL() is available at preopenstack.

BUG: OSX Opening an App with a document

In both LC 6.7.11 and LC 8.1.0 the appleEvent message for when the standalone is launched with a document is NOT send under AFTER openCard EVEN if prior message handles include a WAIT ... WITH MESSAGES. I think this is a BUG? Does anyone else agree? For example, here is the startup messages of

OT: Type on Background - Contrast Ratios

For the RGB wizards… what is the algorithm to determine the luminance ratio between two colors? See w3C recommendations posted in today's Adobe's XD newsletter (useful feed) below. I'm thinking the total value of all three will serve. The WC3 sets minimum standards for contrast ratios, which

Re: OSX Opening an App with a document

You can create your own system globals by prepending "$" to the variable name. If you do that in the appleEvent handler then later whenever you need it, you can access the global. Unless things have changed since I last used it, appleEvent is sent immediately during startup . Or you could use

Richard, I take issue that the specific metaphor doesn’t matter. Stacks and cards are great metaphors for that period of time when a potential programmer is trying to build a mental model of what exactly it is they are trying to do on screen, and relating that to the available tools and
