Re: Linux software suggestions

Hi Andy, I very strongly recommend running 64-bit LiveCode on Linux. Because of the x86-64 architecture's larger number of registers (among other things), we've noticed a speed increase of up to 20% with x86-64 LiveCode, relative to x86 LiveCode running on the same hardware and Linux kernel.

Re: Localizing the Menubar on OsX (Help menu)

Hi Richmond, thanks for the reply. I am running on a german language install of Os X. :-) What is so puzzling is that the button in the menubar only does its magic when its LABEL is Help, which IMHO makes no sense at all. It would make more sense, if the German.lproj folder contained in the

Localizing the Menubar on OsX (Help menu)

Hi friends. I am seriously puzzled. I got a menubar with a Help button. To localize this and make it appear as „Hilfe“ on german systems I am setting the label of that button. What now puzzles me is that the menu behaves differently according to the label of that button (not the name, which I

Re: Linux software suggestions

In desktops Mate for something familiar, and its what gnome used to be before they wrecked it, but fluxbox is the best if you want it very fast, functional and surprisingly well featured. Gnome and KDE seem to be competing which can make the most unusable desktop, so neither one of them. I

Thanks for all the suggestions and advise. I've got a sneaking suspicion that the processor in the oldie 5150 maybe 32 bit only as it was in a former life an XP workhorse which was unable to be upgraded to Win 7!!! I will be installing Mint tomorrow and will let you know how I get on. -

Roland- A few thoughts without in any way trying to detract or distract from your wonderful post: FileMaker and LiveCode are different products aimed at different audiences. FileMaker is essentially a one-trick pony: it does an excellent job at providing an easy-to-use front end for

Is it safe to return an array from a function?

I understand that arrays are passed by reference in LiveCode not by value. I assume that is also that case if you return an array from a function (i.e. the reference to the array is returned not its content). When I tried to return an array from a function, I found that not only you can do so
