Re: Pixelscale on Windows = disaster = what can we do?

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

Setting the scale factor to 80% (for 1.25% screenpixelsvale) doesn't work?

I have done that in the past and it worked fine - just always using the 
reciprocal of the screen pixel scale.

Pixelscale on Windows = disaster = what can we do?

[Tom Glod via use-livecode]

Hi Folks...

Is there anything that can be done to prevent windows from scaling my stack
when the system is set top use 125% or 150% "scaling" options?

In livecode ... that is reflected in the systempixelscale  and
screenpixelscale properties.

My stack and the images and controls on it looks like crap when those are
greater than 1. jagged edges...its a disaster.

When I try to set the scalefactor propery, it seems to have no effects.

My only workaround is test for it at the beginninng and say "sorry...unless
you change this in your system settingsthis application will not
display correctly..sorrry"

I thought maybe i can change it via shell and try to toggle it on
startbut the worst part is it requires log off from user to change this
setting.

I must find a way to disable thisI can see its usefullness in other
areas...but there has to be a way.

Can anyone think of anything?

Re: Suggestions for LiveCode (the company) to increase its revenue

[Dan Brown via use-livecode]

Allowing non hacky 2 way communication with JavaScript via lc browser is a
potentially huge win should it ever happen.  Every time I come across
technical discussion of making web apps for the desktop there is a huge
chorus or discontent with the currently most viable option Electron - an
inefficient bloated memory hog basically. With the right pitch livecode
could make inroads there.

Separately a revenue suggestion is to make the business license offering
less about minor features that are missing from indy ( groan) and more
about business support features. That's what businesses look for when
investing in any kind of technology platform / equipment  and is pretty
much the only real differentiator of substance that would justify the
monetary upgrade from indy.  Seems to get a footnote.

Gamifying business support with a"points" system is also needlessly obtuse.
It should be no nonsense and straight forward. X amount buys this many
hours for y per month etc.

Re: Suggestions for LiveCode (the company) to increase its revenue

[Graham Samuel via use-livecode]

Me too - I have found the whole process to be irritating and messy. As I have 
ranted before, deployment issues are really huge for people who see software 
design and programming as what they do, and having made their software 
function, just want to deliver it. But to do that, you have to hack your way 
through the deployment jungle, of which code signing is just a part. So, if LC 
can make all that easier and make a bit of money doing it, they will certainly 
get my vote.

Re: Suggestions for LiveCode (the company) to increase its revenue

[tbodine via use-livecode]

Code signing can be a major pain point. Adding code-signing features to
Livecode (or in a supplemental tool) could be a selling point for Indy and
Business license users. I pay about $50 annually for a third-party
code-signing tool subscription on the Mac platform. 

LiveCode Ltd may able be able to become a third-party Comodo certificate
reseller and make ongoing revenue by providing that service.

Re: Italic text within fields on Mac OS

[dunbarx via use-livecode]

This may call for a discussion, a dedicated lesson maybe, especially for
newbies, about the difference between setting the textStyle of actual text
within a field as opposed to the field itself. It touches on inheritance.

But I bet that many have struggled with what they see as impossible or at
least inconsistent results when they set text properties either "globally"
or with actual selected text within a field/\.

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[Peter Reid via use-livecode]

Has anyone successfully set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH for 
Mac/Linux apps?  I've found that I can set the variable using:

put tValue into $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

and it appears to be set as far as the IDE is concerned.  However, if I use the 
shell command to display the value of this variable

put shell("printenv")
or
put shell("echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH")

it's empty!

Similarly, if I try to set this in the shell script:

put shell("export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=" & quote & tValue & quote & return & 
"printenv")

it doesn't work either!

Other environment variables seem to be OK.

Any suggestions please?

Re: type the label of me

I confirm that this is a bug. It has been reported before as bug 9294 with the 
status FIXED, so I have written another report to reopen it. This has the 
number 19593 - the mothership will presumably acknowledge it as a duplicate of 
9294 in due course.

Happy Easter to all (yes, including those who don’t celebrate Easter or do but
