That's good...maybe something a bit closer to the auto formatting and

Same here. But since the LC IDE is written in LCS, anything it does to

That's very valuable, thanks. So just to confirm, you did not need to

Yes whitelisting is an option, but not for distributing apps. Well, not much of

It depends on where you need speed for.

On a mac, BBEdit or its older cousin TextWrangler will preserve line endings.
It just works. You can also easily change endings with a pull-down menu. That

No, but I can guess that it is much as has been posted prior to this. Virtually
all malware deterrent products use subscription based services, and many of
them get their malware signature data from the same sources. False positives
are not unheard of, although I suspect they are fairly rare.
I haven't tried it in a good long while. Maybe they changed that behavior. I'll
give it another go as firing up my VM is a little bit of a hassle if I can do
it natively.

Mac should never convert to CRLF by default.

Well, he could, if he didn’t wanted an average value of some more pixels, and,
calculating an average via screenMouseLoc is really slow. Exporting a rect to

Please
This is a perennial problem. My personal opinion is that unless a user
explicitly wants to alter the line endings in a file, no assumptions should be
made by the developer in this regard. A classic example (at least for me) is
working with files exported from copiers. Let's say I want to export

Make a new small stack with a button. Script it as given below.
On mouseUp the average is taken from the 5x5-rect left of the topleft
of your stack.
- begin button
Try
if there is no img "temp" then create invisible img "temp"
export snapshot from rect to img "temp" as PNG
Then average the imagedata of that image. If you would
like to use transparency then also use the alphadata.
This is for desktop, on mobile there are some specials
(see the
A kluge, but couldn't you:
on mouseUp
set the screenMouseLoc to "200,200"
answer the mouseColor
end mouseUp
I just threw this together, so you might want to restore the original
mouseLoc, and locking the screen might be useful.
