Re: Is it not possible to write to the user preference folder in Mojave?

Hi Matthias, The quote from Apple was in reference to the Library/Preferences folder in the User directory, not the one in the root. To make it even more abundantly clear this is what was meant, this page specifically references ~/...

Re: tree view hide key

What kind of work? Here are a couple that I can think of that are not easily addressed: - Arbitrary sort would take significant changes (a couple options: 2 part key [1,firstkey], [2,asecondkey] or restructuring the array format to something like [key][title], [key][value] where the title and

No, the tree always displays the key and value. Thanks, Brian On Oct 30, 2018, 3:38 PM -0500, Mike Kerner via use-livecode , wrote: > In tree view can you hide the keys of the array? I was messing with using > it to display directory and subdirectory contents, but it seems that you > have to

tree view hide key

In tree view can you hide the keys of the array? I was messing with using it to display directory and subdirectory contents, but it seems that you have to display the key, which makes some other things more difficult. ___ use-livecode mailing list

Re: Mysteries of Me

Ah yes I've encountered this. What I do is I have 2 functions: getParentCard() and getParentStack(). pass the long id of any object on a card and they return the long id of the card, or the long filename of the stack respectively. Then you can use go tParentCard and that will compile. Your

Re: Is it not possible to write to the user preference folder in Mojave?

Hi Sean, thanks for the information. But my app writes to the ~/Library/Preferences folder. And therefore the user should have write access to it. As i wrote. On a new Mojave installation on a VM (i still have 10.13.6 here) i was able to write the registration details to that folder without

Yeah, IMHO it's academic, as the point to a compiler syntax checker is to avoid runtime errors down the road. Since this will not throw a runtime error, it's moot. Bob S > On Oct 29, 2018, at 19:27 , Monte Goulding via use-livecode > wrote: > > The parser is often lenient at the end of

Re: Is it not possible to write to the user preference folder in Mojave?

Hi Matthias, This is, without any doubt, a permissions issue and definitely nothing to do with sandboxing. You need to unlock the folder you are saving to. The recommended form is to have a folder within the preferences folder named [domain].[appName] (ie, com.mycompany.myapp), and store your
