Don't worry, it was password protected. I thought it had managed to remove the protection but the script I ran to remove it from the 97 stacks didn;t do it properly. So I did it again and then needed to restart LC first for it to fully recognise the protection removed. All good now. MainStack

Hi Mark, When you said this, how did you use it to get it to work? I'm getting the same issues as you were. Thanks Sean On Mon, 29 Aug 2022 at 20:06, Mark Wieder via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Ah. OK - So I had to look up the filename of the stack first. > >

I have an Android app that uses a custom font. I just dropped the ttf file into the Copy Files pane of standalone settings and issued "start using font file" in a preOpenStack handler. Seems to work fine. Easy too. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software |

THe only way to do this is to use google's web fonts and ship them with your project. It works well. To save you the trouble, Android requires the fonts to be in a "fonts" folder in the root folder of your projects. Or at least its what I read somewhere in the forums. Cheers Bob On Tue, Aug 30,

Hi all. I'm at the point now where I want to clean up the appearance of all my projects across all platforms. For instance, I have a Time Calculator stack that calculates total time for any number of start/stop/lunch entries. I have heretofore left my field and label fonts at the default,

LCB has been slower than LCS, but the advantage is that you can easily link to much faster compiler code. I’m not sure if that has changed any… I could pull out some code from a while back where we were doing some speed tests. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 30, 2022, at 5:31 PM, Geoff Canyon

Is there a page that discusses the pros of LCB? I looked and didn’t find it. I’m thinking of a simple list (I’m making this up because I didn’t find the page) — N times faster execution than LCS — interface with code libraries using simple hooks — bundle code and graphics together into

15(?) years ago I wrote an app that bounced a bunch of balls across the screen. Each was a shaped-stack. It has no trouble being pretty smooth even with twenty or so stacks, as I recall. It would be more than enough for guides, especially with the 100x hardware we have today. Positioning a

I've fantasized about being able to paint directly to the window buffer without using an object, but having done that in C back in the day I enjoy the conveniences scripted objects bring. Your stack suggestion is intriguing, but how does it work in practice? I find the systemic overhead of

He's also throwing controls into the stack to show guides for the alignment, and then disposing of those. So maybe in for a penny? If I were doing something like this I think I'd try: 1. A frontscript, as you say, or just setting up to receive IDE messages -- pretty sure there's an objectMoved
