Re: LiveNode Server
This is an interesting thread. Let me add a few comments: The CGI / FastCGI thing is a red herring. CGI is slow and so is FastCGI. :) Slighter faster options (e.g. for things like PHP and Python) implement the language runtime via a plugin module to the web server. However, things like Node.js and Go are fast because they don't have Apache or similar in the way. I once saw a presentation by a guy that had built the most carefully optimised (and very popular) HTTP proxy in Python and then discovered that a very simplistic implementation with Node.js was more than an order of magnitude faster. This was because Apache was out of the loop, not because JavaScript is so much faster than Python (it is faster but nowhere near that much). Now Apache and other web servers are really good at serving up files but these days we often want to build APIs. If you've got static files you're better off putting them on Amazon S3 or similar. For getting a chunk of JSON querying a database and spitting some more JSON back the other way you're better off with something architecturally like Node.js. The fact that the whole ecosystem has been forced to do everything asynchronously is a big help. JavaScript and its single threaded nature are not virtues here but not a fatal handicap either. Someone mentioned Meteor.js - that's built on Node.js but they actually use Node Fibers, basically lightweight threads (that have to yield explicitly - no pre-emption) - it makes the code a whole lot more readable. Not having real threads is bad when it comes to processor intensive operations but Node.js got a very long way without them and I think a Node-like LiveCode server could too. It would need to have proper asynchronous I/O everywhere though and that's not trivial from where we are now. It is definitely a project worth pursuing if anyone has the time. The quickest way to get their might be to integrate libevent (as used in Chromium) rather than libuv (as used in Node.js) because it comes with DNS, HTTP and SSL support - you really want all of those in the C/C++ layer, not implemented in LiveCode on top of a raw socket . It might not be the best way overall but alternatives probably involve quite a lot more work. Adding something like blocks in Objective-C (very closure-like), or Node's TAGG, to enable real multi-threaded programming but limited to avoid all the usual thread synchronisation headaches would also be fantastic for LiveCode but another big chunk of work. There didn't seem much point in even looking at any of these things while the engine was undergoing a major architectural overhaul but maybe things are starting to stabilise enough now that it'll make sense to think about them again soon.

New Way To Deal With Custom Fonts on iOS?
Hi All: I just spent two hours with a colleague trying to track down why a custom font wasn't rendering correctly on iOS, and apparently it seems that something changed with either the way LiveCode 7 or iOS 8 handles font names. It used to be that grabbing the installed name of a font on iOS was all that was needed to get a custom font to work, but now it seems one has to manually combine the font name and any desired style/s into a string separated by a dash: Installed name = American Typewriter Condensed Bold becomes --- AmericanTypewriter-CondensedBold I know about the fontStyles function, but that only appears to return available styles for font, it doesn't return a properly formatted fontName. Looking up font related terms/issues in the docs, forums, and mail list I haven't seen any reference to this anywhere. Is this documented, and even more importantly, is there a function or script to automate this so we don't have to maintain a stored list of styles and compare/replace words in the font name? I'm also worried about what caused this change: is this a LiveCode change or an iOS change? An iOS change would seem to mean that we need to code around the system version to handle older versions of iOS. Thanks for any info/advice here.

You have not set the visible of the scroller to true, and this is why it does not scroll. This is what we did to resolve the issue: 1. In stack local directory copy.livecode: Go to card id 1011, and add the following line in the buildScroller handler (at the point where you set the scroller properties) iphoneControlSet scrollID, visible, true 2. In stacks textScroll.livecode and PicsHorz copy.livecode, this line already exists, and thus the scrollers work as expected. 3. In stack scroll704.livecode: Go to card id 1002, and add the following line in the buildScroller handler (at the point where you set the scroller properties): iphoneControlSet scrollID, visible, true Can you please let us know if this fixes the problem for you?

It is statically compiled with optional static typing and direct foreign code interconnect (allowing easy access to APIs written in other languages). The compiled bytecode can then be packaged together with any required resources (icons, documentation, images, etc) into a .lce extension package. IDE The property inspector has been rewritten to allow properties of widgets to be inspected and edited. It has been implemented with flexibility and extensibility in mind, since it must be able to control the values of widget properties in any way required by the widget developer. The dictionary has been replaced, now using the CEF browser object in order to be able to display dynamically generated content, namely the API and/or user guide of installed widgets and libraries. Also we are starting to replace controls in the IDE with widgets. All the palettes now use widgets for their headers and footers, and the variable viewer in the debugger has been replaced by a tree view widget. We are aware that as the IDE undergoes this transition there may be features you rely on which are missing or which don't function as expected.

Re: Release: LiveCode 8.0.0 DP 2
Hi Klaus, As Roger noticed, the icon picker widget is meant to be used with the LCB syntax popup widget to return the name of an icon, whose SVG path can then be obtained using the iconSVGPathFromName function in the iconSVG library. It is not particularly useful as a widget in its own right, except for seeing what icons are available (essentially just fontawesome). The Navigation Bar widget is in something of an experimental state, whereby it has an editMode property - when true you can click on the icons and change them, and add a 'nav item', and then with editMode false it changes to a more user-oriented display. ___ 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

That was very gentlemanly of you, but in all fairness I've always wondered why the engine doesn't just instantiate those for us. Now that I'm doing mobile work in earnest I found it tedious to create groups around fields, so I've been experimenting with having those dynamically created at runtime via script, and then calling the appropriate native instantiation calls. But to be honest it feels a little silly having to do that: the engine knows the rect of the object, and it knows the object is visible, and it knows the object is scrolling. If I can write a script to look for those and automatically instantiate scrollers as needed, is it really too hard for the engine to do? After all, scripts are run by the engine. Whingeing aside, there was another bit of good news from this thread - earlier I'd noted that we can't paste text from LiveCode into programs that expect styled text, and I got notice this morning that now the lead engineer, Mark Waddingham, is looking into that.

Re: New Way To Deal With Custom Fonts on iOS?
Scott, Could this possibly be related to this issue bug 14116 http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14116? Mark W. stated in a comment there that the screen loading times may have something to do with a change in the way that fonts were handled between LC 6.6 and LC 6.7. I wonder if the issue you described is related somehow. Maybe it’s also caused by this change to using CoreText in iOS. Specifically, see his comment from February 27.

In stacks textScroll.livecode and PicsHorz copy.livecode, this line already exists, and thus the scrollers work as expected. 3. In stack scroll704.livecode: Go to card id 1002, and add the following line in the buildScroller handler (at the point where you set the scroller properties): iphoneControlSet scrollID, visible, true Can you please let us know if this fixes the problem for you?

Unless you want to ban most of the language then you'd still have to replace or integrate the event loop with libuv, which is probably not a small or easy job. If a future LiveCode has a more modular core you might be able to take just the bits you need. It would be fantastic to get add Live code to a Node server with a couple of lines. Particularly for serving dynamically created images. I guess this route will also be possible when we have JavaScript export? I think it would be possible with JavaScript export but that's a very heavyweight solution. Dynamically creating images is the sort of processor intensive task where Node performs badly. It would probably make more sense to have a separate LiveCode executable that can run in another process on another CPU core on the same server. You could signal it via sockets from the Node server, or even just communicate via the file system.

apns windows
did anybody ever get apns to work from windows? I have always run into a problem with not being able to send the signal to the server that we're done, and I finally gave up, but now it would be nice to be able to make it work, again, instead of having to do it all from a Mac. -- On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth On the second day, God created the oceans.

Re: copying from password protected substacks
Does it work for you in the IDE? Also, you're not using the Community Edition are you? You can't password protect with that version of LiveCode even though it shows the option in the Standalone Builder.
