Could RSYNC be implemented fast enough

Re: Dragging widgets

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

@ Bob:

Right: not meant to criticize, but hopefully constructive observation about a 
specific issue… that's how we evolve, right?

 "just sayin"  that to the eyes of the user  (as Quentin said) a widget is a 
visual object/control on screen, like any other, the expectation that they can 
enter

on mousedown; grab me; end mousedown

will be very high. 

So this is a "gotcha" for newbies -- and I don't mean "kids" but experienced 
graphic designers who work all day in a visual environment: (a target market 
that IMHO opinion could be huge were LC ramp up on the visual side)  and now, 
in the new IDE(s), like HYPE from Tumult (just installed yesterday.. amazing…)

… Solutions could be simple as adding to the dictionary a disclaimer "SVG 
objects are drawn arithmetically; as such they do not behave like a block of 
rasterized pixels. In order to drag an SVG widget you need to group it first 
and then add the grab me to the group."  Or like Mike said  "fix it" 

Some things are fundamental in the UI/UX and dragging objects *any* object is 
one of them, and has been from the day we mouse down on an icon on the desktop 
and dragged it into the trash.

Just my two rain drops from Kauai where a storm is moving in, could be as much 
as 10 inches in 10 hours tonite. Yikes!

No loops.  There are a pair of behaviors that relaunch themselves with

All stable releases and release candidates.  I've never even launched 9,
and had to skip 6 entirely (the pirate code dots were so much worse than 5,
and 7 fixed it before 6).

As for richmond's suggestions, this is a bog-standard Sierra installation,
and there aren't any non-apple utilities installed, and 16gb ram on a
mid-2011 27" iMac, quad-core i5.

In fact, there isn't much *at all* installed, and rarely anything open but
lived ode, open office, iWork, filezilla, acrobat reader and professional,
scansnap, safari, firefox, and a brother printer driver

I use the latest 8 stable or rc, and until some 8.1.4 fixes, have to use
 7.1.4 for some combining of stacks.

Re: Dragging widgets

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

As to that, everything you do on a computer, INCLUDING typing code, is an 
illusion. A DOS prompt is an illusion in it's own right. So is a light bulb on 
a panel that was turned on by some signal from a computing device. All a 
computer can really do is move numbers from one register to another in a 
predefined way. By calling the LC GUI an illusion, you are simply removing 
yourself one more layer from the last illusion. 

Now in relation to built-in support of different formats, one could say the 
same thing about a web browser, that it should "just work with any kind of 
image". Or font type then. Or video format. Or encryption algorithm. Or 
anything really. The only reason modern web browsers evolved in the first place 
was because new formats of all kinds of things became really popular or 
beneficial to the end product in some way. 

If anyone can demonstrate that thousands of potential developers turned away 
from LC because the support for SVG graphics, or the browser object, or 
anything in LC, was not up to par, they would have a good point. Better yet if 
they can produce some real numbers about all the developers who really want to 
begin programming in Livecode, and are just waiting for more robust support of 
some particular object, I'm sure they would garner serious interest. If not, 
then bringing up all the programmers who have "turned away" is frankly, a 
fallacy. 

Myself, I get a little nervous when some on the list begin to criticize RunRev 
for not supporting some thing or not in some way expected. It feels a lot like 
eating dinner with my mother who used to take us to high end French restaurants 
just so that she could complain to the chef that something wasn't done just so. 

I could be mischaracterizing the posts though. I apologise if I am overstating 
my case. I think discussions about possible bugs, or new features or better 
ways of doing things are constructive. Criticism of the amazing devs at RunRev 
when something does not work exactly as we like, is not.

Re: Image Manipulation by javascript/HTML5 using a widget

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

Hi hh,

Thank you. There's a whole ton of javascript libraries out there that allow
some great effects. I have not yet learned webgl, but I know we could do
some very cool warps with it. I don't have much knowledge in that area, but
I look forward to all the stuff that you and others with a high-level of
image manipulation skills could create.

I also think it would also be possible to generate an animation in an html5
canvas object, but do it in a hidden browser widget. It could be set up to
export the image data from that canvas object and put it into an image in
LC, complete with transparent parts. The way I envision it, each frame
would be triggered by the completion of the transfer of the previous frame,
until a given motion is complete, using something like "send
triggerNextFrame to me in 0 seconds". This would prevent errors when LC or
JS gets ahead of the other, and would allow other messages to proceed while
the 3d animation is happening. The frame rate would vary based on the
computer's speed, but could set to a max rate, I think. That would allow us
to have 3D animations that appear directly on a card, presented through an
image object, with the position controllable by LiveCode script.

Re: Is it just the IDE that crashes, or are standalone at risk?

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

I don't know which platform you are deploying either the IDE or 
standalones on; but I currently

use:

6.1.something and standalones on Mac OS 10.5.8 PPC

7.1.4, 8.1.3, 9.0.0 DP-4 andstandalones on Mac OS 10.7.5,

8.1.3 standalones on ReactOS 5 pre-release (!),

7.1.4, 8.1.3, 9.0.0 DP-5 andstandalones on Xubuntu 14.04 (32-bit), 
Xubuntu 16.04 (64-bit) and WINE


pupils of mine take home standalones of mine to use on Mac, Windows of 
all flavours, and Linux.


No crashes of either IDE or standalones.

I have a feeling that their may be something odd about the machine(s) 
you are deploying to (possibly

something else you have installed is messing around with LiveCode).

My IDE was "crashing" but I traced it to an obscure infinite loop I 
inadvertently created, by creating a handler, which triggered something in a 
datagrid behavior which automatically called the original handler. It was a 
beatch to find. I believe that LC may detect these infinite loops (by the 
number of recursions?) and bails out when it happens. (It may also have 
something to do with memory allocation). 

Also, are you using a "stable" version, or are you using developer previews on

It's true that *under the hood*, LC must handle each distinct 'flavor' of image

Consider: Numbers can be signed, unsigned, integer, or real, and the engine's internal

internal differences, *the expression "VarX + VarY" ALWAYS just works, 
REGARDLESS of which flavors of number VarX and VarY happen to be*.


Surely one of the points of LiveCode is to "protect" people who want to 
use a RAD tool from the "fiddly
bits". Ater all if we wanted to concern ourselves with the filldy bits 
we'd all be "out there" learning
C++, C#, Turbo-Whatsit and all the other programming languages that I, 
at least, have, thanks to LiveCode

so successfully managed to avoid for the last 15 years.

Now I am aware that LiveCode is in the process of trying to get itself 
taken seriously by the
hairy-chested programming brigade (real men don't do object-based 
stuff), but if that is at the price
of losing touch with their installed base of "unprogrammers" (and only 
"unprogrammers" in the sense
of being people who aren't high as kites on command-line only 
programming) as well as the very valuable niche they fill between the 
blockly community and the C++ community I belive they are making a big

mistake.

I couldn't tell you about the difference between big-Endian and 
little-Endian programming any more than
I could tell you about Michael Flatly's shoe size (what made me think of 
that example? I wonder). But I have
used LiveCode to produce quite a lot of useful stuff; and with the 
advent of SVG import and a lot of the
other exciting stuff that is on its way in LC 9 I hope to produce a lot 
more.


Nobody bothered to point out that if one opens an SVG image with a 
text-editor one can transfer its code into the prefs palette of the SVG 
widget; and I suspect they didn't because they knew full well that that

seriously sucks as a way to import an image!


As far as *the user* is concerned, a number is a number is a number, and it 
*doesn't matter* whether a number happens to be real or integer or what. Why 
can't an image be an image be an image, *regardless* of whether an image 
happens to be JPG or bitmap or what?




The main stregth of Livecode is that one can go on believing in the 
illusion of the GUI.


Messing around with text-editors and images spoils that completely.

Image Manipulation by javascript/HTML5 using a widget

[hh via use-livecode]

Hi all.

There is a new sample stack by Jonathan Lynch called
"Browser Widget Image Manipulator".
This name could lead to underestimate a bit this stack. That's why
I would like to point to it.

This is a real clever solution, short and practicable. It uses the
image manipulation possibilities of javascript/HTML5 via the browser
widget. And it is, in LC 8, for shearing (and rotating) also faster
than my 'direct' imagedata solutions for shear and rotate in LC 6.

It could also be called

Image Manipulation by javascript/HTML5 using a widget

directly from LC, within the stack, nothing extern, no shell scripts.
It shows a direction of how to access some of the big image and graphics
libraries of js/HTML5.

Thanks for that great example Jonathan.

Re: The selectedText for controls without focus

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Richard that script snippet actually helped me solve a different problem. I 
remember now why I was using traversalOn instead of lockText. I have certain 
fields I do not want users to edit, so I set the lockText to true. I then have 
a handler called enableForm that enables every field and button with a name 
that matches a column in a table. But of course I don't want users editing the 
unique ID of a record, even though I want to display it. 

Your snippet solves that problem. I just put it into field scripts I don't want 
users to edit, and use lockText for enabling/disabling fields. Works a peach.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I wnent for grouping the widget and

I have used this in the most recent version of my Turtle Graphics stack 
that I uploaded about 30 minutes ago:


http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=8=28898

However, the inconsistency between the way one has to handle SVG images and
their import (crude and clunky, monochrome) and the way one imports and
handles all other image formats that LiveCode imports is a problem that 
won't

go away with a few work arounds.

There is one way that is acting similar to a "grab": Put the following
into your card's script. Works for widgets and any 'usual' control that
doesn't block mouseDown.

on mouseDown
   if the short name of the target is "svgTURTLE" then # <-- use any filter
  put the mouseControl into mC; put false into mUp
  put the clickH - item 1 of the loc of mC into dx
  put the clickV - item 2 of the loc of mC into dy
  repeat until the mouse is up
 set loc of mC to (the mouseH-dx,the mouseV-dy)
  end repeat
end if
end mouseDown

Using a "send in time" is not possible for that, because the click is then
passed 'in between' to the control/widget. You sadly have to poll the mouse.

yes, I also remember this "procedere", but will leave these actions to the 
creator of the widget,
which happens to be an employee of Livecode, Elanor Buchanan.
So it is another change in format of widgets?

And yes, the "Widget store" may really need a little clean-up! 8-)

Re: Calendar widget does not work in LC 9 dp5

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

I remember a post about widgets compiled in one version not being compatible 
with another version. There is a procedure for correcting this, but I do not 
recall off the top of my head. I think it involves removing the widget, finding 
the widget file, opening and resaving it in the newer version of LC, and then 
re-adding it.

Re: Dragging widgets

[Randy Hengst via use-livecode]

I’ve not messed with widgets at all… but, with graphics in this situation I

in the group script…

OR put

on mouseDown
 grab the owner of me
end mouseDown

in the script of each object within the group.

Calendar widget does not work in LC 9 dp5

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi friends,

yesterday I opened the "Widget store" in LC and installed the "Calendar widget" 
without any errors in LC 9 dp5.

But when I drag a calendar onto my card, there i only an empty rectangle where 
the 
calendar is supposed to be.

Any hints why this does not work?
Or SHOULD it work? If yes what have I done wrong?
Again a change in format of widgets?

Should I do a bug report?

Re: Dragging widgets

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

I tried grouping my SVG widget, and that allows me to drag the group:

on mouseDown
   grab me
end mouseDown

HOWEVER, when I wish to move the SVG widget itself it vanishs as it 
moves outwith

the boundaries of the group.

NOW: whether I can group my "Turtle" SVG widget and then have my Turtle 
Graphics code move

the group and rotate the widget within the group remains to be seen . . .

Yup, that works!

Did you try the field settings I suggested? It does work, it's already 
built-in:


autoHilite = true
traversalOn = true
locktext = true

This allows selecting and copying but not editing.

the screenpixelscale on Microsoft SurfaceBook?

[Trevor DeVore via use-livecode]

Does anyone have access to a Microsoft SurfaceBook with an Intel HD 520
card at 3000x2000 running the latest version of Windows 10? If so can you
tell me what LiveCode 8 reports for the screenPixelScale property if the
display scaling is set to 200% or 150%? I had a bug report today that makes
me think that the property is returning the wrong value.

If you aren’t familiar with where the display scaling is set see this web
page:

Re: FTP file upload with non-ascii characters in filename

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

It seems it´s not a problem with non-ascii in general.

If i first put the content of the file, which i want to upload and which 
contains non-ascii chars in its filename, 
into a variable and urlencode the filename of the target file, then i am able 
to upload the file using "liburlftpupload tData, tTargetURL" without problems.

But if i use "liburlftpfileupload tSourceFilePath, tTargetURL” to upload the 
same file using source file path and target URL, then i get an error.
It works with files wihtout non-ascii chars in their filenames.

Is it possible that there is a problem with libURL and non-ascii filenames?

Regards,
Matthias

Re: Dragging widgets

[Paul Hibbert via use-livecode]

I would really love to see LC’s image handling improved, not just for SVG, 
although that would be a huge bonus, but for raster images too. I would happily 
put money into crowdfunding for this, provided the promises were kept of course.

Anyway, this is probably not the answer you are looking for, but one workaround 
until this problem is addressed, is to group your widget and then add your grab 
code to the group script.

It’s my understanding that widgets are not high on the priority list for bug 
fixes, so a workaround may be your only option if you need this anytime soon.

The purpose of that script is not to allow copying, but to disallow 
cutting and pasting.


LC is a programming toolkit, and a very flexible one, with a wider range 
of GUI messages than most other scripting languages. The price of 
flexibility is the need to write code now and then.

oh contraire. Not all images are the same. Support for each kind of image has 
to be implemented. If the industry developed a new kind of image, LC would be 
faced with incorporating that format.

Re: FTP file upload with non-ascii characters in filename

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Is the need because the files already exist, or is it because you cannot 
control the source of the files? If possible, the files should probably be 
renamed on the other end to make them "compatible" with all file systems. If 
not, then maybe urlEncode/urlDecode or the ISO functions may work for you.

Re: Dragging widgets

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

You are not wrong. 

SVG *is* an image and ideally, should behave like any graphic object.  

Also, for the sake of LC future: These are the kind of things that make newbies 
"run away" from the product.. because they expect things to work, but they 
don't, the frustration level can be severe an image is an image is an image, 
whether it is png, bitmap, jpg or svg, the fact that is is a "widget" is 
secondary to the use case.

Enter an enhancement request.

Does this make sense or have I entirely got the wrong end of the stick

Re: Script Editor fixable? (was: Configuring a Sublime Text project to notify LiveCode IDE about updates to script only stacks)

Re: Dragging widgets

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

I have mentioned several times how I would like SVG import to be as 
simple as PNG import,
and all handling subsequently as simple as other image formats. I 
suspect the price of being able
to rotate SVG images (set the angle) in a way which means they don't go 
"all fuzzy" is that they

cannot be handled like other images.

So . . . can any one tell me how to effect a "grab" (which is the same 
whether with a PNG image, a button

or a graphic object) with a widget?

Very Possible Richmond.

I don't know what's updated since then because the widget format changed

Re: Where did the cErrorsList go?

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

I found it by digging through the scripts of ide stacks. (I first looked
for stacks with "error" in the name, but ended up finding it in the
revidelibrary stack.  There is a function "revIDELookupError()" that had
the needed code.)

For years I've been accustomed to interpreting the error reported in a

put line xx of the cErrorsList of card 1 of stack "revErrorDisplay"


In 8.1.3, AFAICT, the stack "revErrorDisplay" has no such property.

The dictionary still recommends this technique.

Was there a flaw in the building process, or has there been a change (not
yet reflected in the documentation)?

TIA,

Re: FTP file upload with non-ascii characters in filename

[Simon Knight via use-livecode]

Hi

First I am not sure why your code replaces spaces with underscores in tFile.

Next I have an application that displays lists of filenames in a folder.  The 
user clicks on a filename and it is displayed in a browser object on the card.  
In order to get this to work I had to convert the displayed and selected file 
name to one that the OS actually uses at a lower level by using these lines of 
code:

put GetSourcefolder() & "/" & tFilename into tMyFilePath

replace " " with "%20" in tMyFilePath

replace "|" with "%7C" in tMyFilePath


I make no claims that the problem is restricted to these two characters but 
this might be a starting point.  Also different OS’s have different rules on 
the characters used in file names, so you need to account for the OS the server 
is running and google for character substitutions used in file names.

FTP file upload with non-ascii characters in filename

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi,

i need to upload files with non-ascii characters in the filename and this has 
to work on Win and Mac OS X.
 
My script works fine when uploading files with ascii filenames, but as soon as 
i select a file with non-ascii characters in its filename i get an error

What do i have to do with the filenames/filepath (target and source) before 
doing the upload?

My script looks like this:

answer tFile "select file..."
if it is empty then exit to top
put it into tFilePath
replace backslash with slash in tFilePath
set the itemdelimiter to slash
put item -1 of tFilePath into tFile
replace " " with "_" in tFile
put "ftp://username:passw...@ftpserver.com/ 
"& tFile into tURL
liburlftpupload tFilePath,tURL  

I´ve tried to urlencode tDatei.


I am pretty sure there is something more.

Regards,

Matthias
