Hi Kevin, Thanks for acknowledging that you received it! I will compile a video of the problems, but will happily schedule a zoom and talk about some other things as well. I should have a video compiled within 1 week, since i'll still be using it all week long. Thanks Kevin, Tom On Fri, Sep

Re: Text encoding: summary of results and times.

I went back and re-did the tests, checking on the results. The file *is* UTF8, so I need to textDecode() it; if I don't, the result are simply wrong, and so the times are irrelevant. 1. Once it has been textDecoded(), i.e. is in internal format, and I run my algorithm it gets the correct

I'm very much hoping that Mark W might magically fix this in 9.6.5. But in the meantime FWIW, the place where this was really hurting (in a script that took 8 minutes under LC6, was taking 8 hours under LC9, but I've gradually tamed it down to under an hour by buffering the large

What I liked about your email to me Tom was that it was extremely specific. You had just a handful of issues you considered absolutely key and offered to Zoom to show that to me. I look forward to scheduling that once I finish getting unburried __ Kind regards, Kevin Kevin Miller ~

IDE performance (Re: Suggestion: Non-Appbuilding Community Edition)

2021-09-03 Thread Ben Rubinstein via use-livecode
I was wondering this too: when Lagi mentioned 'fix the IDE' I thought this might be a reference to some of a number of usabiity snags - it didn't occur to me that it was just speed. I develop on a nine-year old MacBook and have never noticed a speed issue with the IDE. I wonder if it's

I always have to double check this as well. I think the point is that LC knows what its internal format is, but doesn't know what the source format is. So you always have to specify the 'external' format, but never the internal one. With that in mind, it feels (at least in my language

Following this with interest, but also a little confusion. I completely fell into the trap of assuming you encode outgoing and decode incoming. Alex states that put textEncode(tWHoleText, "UTF8") into tWholeText speeds replace up, but David B says LC internal format is UTF16. Doesn’t the 8 vs
