Any electronic document formats offering interactivity?

Hi folks, I would like to be able to generate a document from LC consisting of a single page (effectively a copy of a card) which can offer some basic interactivity. I would be pretty happy if users can create a document that would display ‘tooltip-like’ explanatory notes if summary fields

Re: [macOS] Notarization, hardened runtimes, LCB, and executables

I have to say that this fills me with despair. I try hard to write serious, useful programs, for fellow professionals, but I am not a developer by trade or training. I have a full time job, which subsidises my time using LC The beauty of LC (and Metacard before it) has always been how

Re: How does OSX tell what app to open when you double click a file?

No idea if this is any help at all, but I run two versions of Apple Pages (I have my reasons… ;-) I have the older version set as the default for all Pages documents, and make exceptions when I need to. Interestingly, MacOS 10.13.6 gets confused sometimes. Even if a document is set to open

teeny tiny answer dialog text on Windows

Hello, folks. Having returned to work on an old stack I have found that whereas standalone answer dialogs look fine on Mac, on Windows (10) the text (eg. “Do you really want to quit?”) is so small it is barely legible. (Building on Mac 10.12 and 10.13) I set the font to Arial, so although I
