[ANN] Important: New release of LiveCode 8.1.6

Hi all, Since the week beginning 21st August 2017, LiveCode iOS apps are being rejected by iTunes Connect due to 'invalid binary'. It turns out that Apple have upgraded the tools they use to analyse binaries, and this has shown an error in the Mach-O structure of the 64-bit slice. The version of

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

Thanks for checking Paul. It appears that, with a browser widget on screen, I am only getting an image from the parts of the screen with the browser widget. With import snapshot, the non-browser parts of the image are transparent (and black). With exporting a snapshot to a variable and putting

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

Hi Mark, I am trying to hack together a way to detect the height of the keyboard on Android. My plan is to have an image 1-pixel wide, but full height of the screen, with an rgb color of 0,0,1. If the snapshot includes the keyboard, then the image data of the snapshot will include a point

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

Hi Mark, Unfortunately, the screen rect and the effective working screen rect return the exact same results on this Android device - 0,0,800,1280. Do you have any other suggestions for determining the keyboard height on Android? I am willing to pursue my hack, but it is a pretty rough hack.

I'm thinking of replacing my 2011 macbook air with a new macbook, but I'm torn on which one to go for. Primary uses are going to be LC development and browser goodness. Before anyone chimes in about Windoze or LInux, I already have both of those covered. Things I'm wondering about: 1) Screen real

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

A question for Mark Waddingham... Mark, in my app, in the place in question, the keyboard is activated by a browser widget. Is it possible that this means it is not sending a signal to LC to update the value of the effective working screen rect? Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 31, 2017, at 8:27

Re: livecode changes image colors without being asked to do it

Hi Robert, Are you able to file a bug with the offending image? The engine does handle colour profiles in many cases so there may be an issue with that kind of profile (if the image has one). Of course, if the image does not have a profile then it might the engine isn't using an appropriate

Re: livecode changes image colors without being asked to do it

Not only that, but a PDF can have embedded objects, each with their own ICC profile. For instance, a logo should be using a saturation intent and absolute colorimetric profile to make sure the color remains constant. Think Home Depot Orange. A photograph however might need perceptual intent
