I'm in the early stages of using more external libs/behaviors for things I used to always pile up in stack/card/object scripts and custom properties. My old practice was less than stellar in terms of re-usability, fixing the same thing in multiple places etc.. So I'm looking to make more libs

Don't try to edit LC while it's in the applications folder. Put it on your desktop, then change the permissions on the settings.plist files, then edit them, save them, change the permissions back, and put LC back in Applications. On Thu, Oct 13, 2016 at 4:26 AM, Thierry Douez

When I tried to edit it, it broke LiveCode - Gatekeeper complained it was no longer valid - I think because it’s now all signed and changing the plist file makes the signing invalid. LiveCode - Can we please have an option in the standalone builder to set the ExitsOnSuspend item in the plist
