Android SDK
Hi friends, I installed the most current release of the Android SDK and all the packages starting form Android 4.0.3 (API Level 15) package up to 7.1.1 (API Level 25). I am using a OS X Sierra, so the SDK was installed in /Users/javiermiranda/Library/Android/sdk (I navigate to that directory and effectively I verify the SDK is there). The problem is that that folder is not recognized as a valid Android SDK Saludos, Javier Miranda V. ___ 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: ouch: the beginning of the end
I can tell you that FDF files work on virtually every PDF viewer/editor for any platform. But the PDF has to be set up to "read" the FDF file when it opens, otherwise you need to create a button that asks for the file (using javascript) and then populates from whatever file the user selects. Originally, this was the ONLY way my app worked, before I started using Applescript and Javascript to fill under OS X. Also it should be noted that an FDF created on another platform is considered "untrusted" by Windows, and you have to give the OS permission to proceed, otherwise the auto-fill feature will not work.

Finding the best mix of features for the the two proprietary licenses and the open source edition is a challenge. I spent the last several days at the SoCal Linux Expo, and had good talks with team members from NginX, MariaDB, Nextcloud, and Ubuntu. Those are among the strongest open source projects around, and all of them keep the projects going by offering paid services and software packages aimed at the enterprise audience. On the surface it would appear that what they're doing is similar to what LiveCode is doing, and in some broad respects I suppose it is. But I believe there are also at least two key differences: - The for-fee-only offerings from those other companies are indeed specialized for larger customers, and the core free (libre and gratis) software is full-featured to the point of being best-of- breed. - The communities surrounding those projects contribute a much larger percentage of the core free software. With LiveCode, the company restricts a broader range of functionality to the proprietary editions, but they're also paying for a much larger percentage of programmer-hours going into the package. Personally, I believe a healthy long-term balance would be more on par with those other projects, with more stuff shared across all editions and having that become possible because more of it comes from the community. The tricky part is how to get from here to there. Many of those projects are technologies that some of the world's biggest companies rely on, and many of those companies have full-time employees dedicated to contributing to those open source projects. At Heroku, for example, they maintain two full-timers whose only job is to submit pull requests for postgreSQL, and Google pays for a lot of the development of Python. The LiveCode world does not yet have a Google or Heroku in our community covering payroll for full-time engine developers. So the question at hand for all of us, company and community alike, is: What is the best balance of free and non-free offerings that will not only grow the platform, but also keep the ship running in order to pursue that growth? I don't have an easy answer on this. But I believe it is a very important question. And it may be harder to answer for this project than for others, for a great many reasons related to both the market the project serves and the complexity of delivering rich GUI authoring for so many platforms. As just one comparison, my understanding is that the LiveCode code base is at least 30% larger than the code base for NginX. Not only is LC a bigger project by that measure, but also arguably in terms of code complexity, because the touch-points for NGinX are limited to a relatively small number of OS APIs for networking and file I/O, but LiveCode needs those along with a vast number of broadly-varying GUI messaging APIs on top of that. As I ponder this question, I recognize that while I'm not in a position to cover full-time salaries for LiveCode contributors, I can invest a certain percentage of my time each week to the project in light of the many practical benefits it offers my company. -- Richard Gaskin LiveCode Community Liaison rich...@livecode.org ___ 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: [ANN] Release 9.0.0 DP-5
You can't build ios with community, so that's moot. Besides, this is not debugging, this is remote debugging, and if anything screams "premium", it's a feature like this. Anyone who has been building for mobile since we could do that with LC has been working with their own personal debugging hacks. You can debug mobile, on the device, without this tool. If LC corporate isn't focused on sales and improving revenue, then we're all going to be without LC, because even though LC is OSS, someone has to pay for all the effort that goes into it. Community doesn't pay the bills, and almost nobody outside of LC corporate is doing anything about the codebase - just go on git and have a look.

Re: align field scrolls
You need 3 controls: 2 fields with the vertical scrollbars turned off and a vertical scroller Set the min of the vertical scrollbar to 0 and the max to the "max(the formattedHeight of field X,formattedHeight of field Y) In the scrollbar, add the script: on scrollbarDrag newPosition set the vScroll of field X to newPosition set the vScroll of field Y to newPosition end scrollbarDrag On 3/6/2017 9:39 AM, Rick Harrison via use-livecode wrote: > Hi Nicolas, > > Does the number of lines increase or decrease between executions? > > Have you tried to add or subtract a constant to adjust for the difference? > > Rick > >> On Mar 5, 2017, at 9:45 PM, Nicolas Cueto via use-livecode >> wrote: >> >>> Provided both fields have the same number of lines... >> >> I should've added that the fields do not contain the same number of >> lines.

Re: align field scrolls
So if your two fields have different number of lines, you must scale the "slave" field to the "master. You cannot just align their scroll values. If the master has, say 100 lines, and the slave 75, you simply set the ratio of the scroll of the master to its total line count to the ratio of the slave's similar properties. You may need the "trunc" function to avoid unnecessary pain and suffering.

Re: align field scrolls
Hi Nicolas, Does the number of lines increase or decrease between executions? Have you tried to add or subtract a constant to adjust for the difference?

Re: SHA1 cracked .... What are the chances this will be addressed in LC?

At least the encrypted result starts with "salted" and at least part of the salt value. Hi Bob, The "encrypt" command provides symmetric cryptographic functions, i.e. you can decrypt the result again to get the cleartext back. This is _not_ a desirable property for a password storage system; you should always use one-way (asymmetric) functions, such as a cryptographic hash.
