Since it's just a stack, open it normally in LC. You can do that either from the Open file menu or since it's open already it should be in the Windows menu. Edit the script normally. Apply and save the stack. The next time LC starts up, the handlers should run. The plugin dialog only manages h

Jacqueline, thank you for adding to my thread about the interface on 4k monitors. I did as suggested but there is no persistence with the plugins dialogue box. If there is a save, OK, or apply type functions I cannot find them. Closing the window does not appear to save the changes as there ar

Plugins are just normal stacks that appear in the plugins folder. When you open the stack, which opens automatically and invisibly on startup in this case, it will just sit there. It needs an activation handler, which can be on openstack or opencard or whatever is appropriate. Add whatever you

Never mind, I got the plugin to appear in the list in the plugins dialogue window. I selected it, set it to "LiveCode starts up" and "Invisible". Quit the IDE and restarted it. Nothing happens. Typing each command into the message box affects things though. I can kind of work with doing that

Ralph, thank for for the specific instructions. Thanks to the others and poking around I knew some of that, but the extra info was stuff I needed to know. Unfortunately, the script does not appear in the list of plugins in the Plugin Settings dialogue. Did basic things like double check the di

I felt up to trying one of the suggested workarounds for my interface scaling issue, specifically making a script to run as a plug-in. The plugin in does not appear on the plugins menu and I do not know what I did wrong. The link to creating plugins was helpful, but lacked specifics. Do I ne

Peter, thank you for those suggestions I will try them once my treatment is done tomorrow. Richard, I am using Kubunutu and KDE for some reason does not get every app when using its interface scaling setting. It gets almost all of them, but does not affect a few. It may be these apps are doing

These workarounds are great for helping John get back to work right away, but if the IDE isn't respecting Windows' resolution that would be a bug and I hope someone's reported it. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ___

Hi John, I haven’t done this myself, but I suppose you could create a Livecode plugin that runs the needed code: https://livecode.fandom.com/wiki/Creating_a_livecode_plugin which is basically a LC stack that lives in your local plugins folder. Under the IDE Development menu are plugin settings

monitor. I have changed OS settings to help with other programs and it has for most of them. Some of the unaffected ones had built in features to help with the interface resolution and others are still a problem for me. Livecode is unaffected by everything. Would someone please tell me if Livecode has
