Mac app icons
Can anyone point me in the right direction, please? Using 10.6.8 on a MacMini with LC4.5.2 The standalone icns icon set is not being copied (contents:Resources:Standalone.icns is zero KB) but no build error is reported. Using IcoFX software that automatically generates a 1bit set for Mac icns. Images included are: 32bit: 128, 48, 32, 16 8bit: 48, 32, 16 4bit: 48, 32 16 1bit: 48, 32, 16 I have tried restarting and zipping/unzipping to force a Finder refresh I have tried omitting the 32bit 128 I have even tried an icns file that used to work before I got a MacMini The Windows ico version displays fine. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Mac app icons
The same thing happens to me with one of my OS X apps. LiveCode always produces a zero length icns file for that app. I've never been able to track it down. I always end up manually replacing the dud Standalone.icns with a working version that I keep handy.

[OT] images: best transparent format
Hello, I'm using Fireworks 2004 to create transparent images of alphabet letters that I import onto an LC stack using LC's File Import menu. Problem is, when in LC I set dropshadow and innershadow there is still a teeny little bit of jaggedness noticeable between the image itself and the inner/outer shadows. As attempts to a solution, in Fireworks I've tried: -- the various Anti-alias options (smooth, crisp) -- a PNG8 file export, with either/or Alpha- and Index-transparency (whatever those mean!), and with either/or no-Matte and Matte of a color either/or exact or similar to the image color -- a PNG32 file export (no option available for Alpha- or Index-transparency) ... and in LC I've messed around with the various dropshadow/innershadow settings, including Filter from Gaussian down to box3pass. As I say, the jaggedness is quite slight. Some might say it's not even worth the bother. But, if I notice it, my finicky Japanese learners will too.

As my primary target is Windows I think I can use existing binaries, but of course I remain interested in a Mac version, which I have now made work experimentally. I did not realise that MacPorts will create a 'fully functional binary', so thanks very much for that info. I have some hopes after all for my geography teachers. rant If this is the case, then why the heck haven't the producers of ImageMagick gone so far as to do this? After all they have produced a perfectly functional .exe of the latest version for Windows users. Maybe in their Unix-type world the idea of running MacPorts, which involves installing the whole of Xcode on a Mac (several Gb) and then waiting over an hour for that program to create a viable version of IM, is all in a day's work, but it seems odd to say the least if one's motivation for using IM is simply to convert some graphic files from one format to another… as I have said elsewhere there seems to be a different philosophy at work among *nix jocks compared to us simple-minded users of consumer-level environments./rant Thanks again Graham While it is true that the makers of ImageMagick could do a better job of packaging a minimal installation of the binaries for Mac, the cluttering of our own Dev systems is part of the process of learning what our options are. As you made a backup before installing Lion, you could CCC your drive before installig IM (for testing), then restore afterwards. Yes, it takes time, but is probably worthwhile if no uninstaller was provided. IM packaging is an example of bad end-user empathy. It is our responsibility as developers to deliver our products in an intuitive format the end-user has come to expect. If we, the developers experience some hardship in building that experience, it is just part of the job, and a process we must endure to satisfy OUR users. That said, not all products coming from the *nix world are as complicated. Many of them now provide GUI installers, and those will be used by end-users because of that simplicity. IM is targeted more to Devs to include for back-end processing. Have you considered a scenario where you ONLY deliver a LC application which accesses a CGI server to off-load the image processing. ImageMagick would run only in a single server instance, and your app could FTP the users PDFs into a watched folder, then download the resulting PNGs to be displayed in the LC application. ˜Roger ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Am I misunderstanding data grids?
Hi Geoff, if you are using DataGrids in more than one project then have a look at DataGridHelper Plugin. http://www.runrev.com/store/product/data-grid-helper-1-2-0/ You find a quickstart guide at http://aslugontheroad.com/index.php?option=com_phocadownloadview=categoryid=12:trialItemid=63# This plugin makes it really easy to customize your datagrids. It costs 45$, but it is worth each dollar.

Re: [OT] images: best transparent format
I'm afraid my question is becoming a discussion about image software.

Re: [OT] images: best transparent format
When you save a png you should get options about how many bits there are, and whether there is transparency. If you see an option to have either 32 bit, or 24 bit and transparency selected, then those should work perfectly in LiveCode. At least it does for me. Look too to see if there is a Save for Web and Devices option in Fireworks (I don't have it installed on my machine at the moment, so can't check). In Photoshop, if you Save As PNG, you're likely to get white premultiplied into the image. Saving for web makes a PNG that doesn't premultiply the background color. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: [OT] images: best transparent format
Hi Nicholas, Your best bet might be Illustrator. Create a shape and then export for web/devices as 24bit png. The results are slightly superior to Photoshop when it comes to dithering edges. Copying vectors using the clipboard yields better results when moving between apps. Higher res composition scaled down in the last step helps too. Things get tricky when the images are small (even with vector). Hope this helps.

I'll bet you could ask for a refund. ;) ImageMagick is community software, free and open source. While there is a main pool of developers who maintain it, there's nothing stopping anyone from enhancing it further. Indeed, that's how projects like this work. If anyone here has the time to make this sort of Mac package, they're free to do so under the Apache license ImageMagick is made available under. ImageMagick represents a tremendous amount of effort as it is; I certainly can't fault them if they haven't gone further to make it even more convenient for every platform. Given what the core team has put into it, it doesn't seem too much to ask that the community can give something back by making those sorts of builds available, so the core team can continue to focus on the trickier stuff they do so well. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: [OT] images: best transparent format
I'm pretty sure the issue is LiveCode, not you. See an example here: http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/LC_antialias_issue.jpg LiveCode has had antialiasing issues for years (try creating a sharp line using an even line width in LC -- can't be done when antialiasing is enabled). My guess is whatever routines are being used to antialias object edges are also being applied to edges of images and producing less then desirable results. BTW, the image format you want is 32 bit PNG. And, yes, it is worth the bother, so we can get good results using native graphics effects, and keep apps efficient, instead having to go outside LiveCode and hard code graphic effects into images. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX Design Recently, Nicolas Cueto wrote: Hello, I'm using Fireworks 2004 to create transparent images of alphabet letters that I import onto an LC stack using LC's File Import menu. Problem is, when in LC I set dropshadow and innershadow there is still a teeny little bit of jaggedness noticeable between the image itself and the inner/outer shadows. As attempts to a solution, in Fireworks I've tried: -- the various Anti-alias options (smooth, crisp) -- a PNG8 file export, with either/or Alpha- and Index-transparency (whatever those mean!), and with either/or no-Matte and Matte of a color either/or exact or similar to the image color -- a PNG32 file export (no option available for Alpha- or Index-transparency) ... and in LC I've messed around with the various dropshadow/innershadow settings, including Filter from Gaussian down to box3pass. As I say, the jaggedness is quite slight. Some might say it's not even worth the bother. But, if I notice it, my finicky Japanese learners will too.
