Yeah it's been a long time since I worked with it. We had Filemaker Server running for a couple small apps, but each user who wanted to run the app had to buy a full client license. Bob S > On Oct 1, 2018, at 16:25 , Geoff Canyon via use-livecode > wrote: > > Yep, FileMaker isn't perfect,

Re: [ANN] animationEngine is free now

Hey all! Thanks for the kind words! And please excuse I did not reply earlier. Rather busy setting up the Promo stuff at the moment. I’ll surely keep lurking on the lists. :-) There still will be an OSS project I am stewarding using liveCode, so I'll be in the boat for a while. I just feel

Re: Android compass question

Just following up on this - on my Android device the compass heading data from LC jumps around plus-or-minus 10 degrees while the phone is laying still, but the same data from the browser widget is stable. I was able to make it work in my app this way, but I wish the LC sensor data had also

It should report the parent folder of the executable. I just built a test and it works as expected per the dictionary entry for specialFolderPath. Thanks, Brian On Oct 2, 2018, 3:20 PM -0400, Howard Bornstein via use-livecode , wrote: > I'm building a cross-platform app for Mac and Windows. I

Where does LiveCode/Windows store specialFolderPath("Resources") data?

I'm building a cross-platform app for Mac and Windows. I store a data file that is update by the user in specialFolderPath("Resources"). On the Mac, I know where this is and can even view it, using the Show Package command from the Finder. One thing that is clear with the Mac is that this data

Re: Where does LiveCode/Windows store specialFolderPath("Resources") data?

That's the result I get when I'm running in the LC environment. That didn't happen with a standalone. The dictionary describes where these files go: "In a standalone, the resources folder where files or folders specified in the Standalone Builder are located." It says your resources go in "the

The fact that there is an underlying permanent unique id for everything, completely abstracted from the user. So you can change the name of a column, or table, or layout, one time, in the database definition, and all references to that object in scripts, other layouts, etc. will automatically

mergAV permission dialog

Recently had an update to an existing app rejected because the app asked permission without explaining the purpose. I believe that the dialog is produced as a result of including mergAV in the build. An automatically generated dialog is handy… but in this case I agree with the reviewer. My

Re: Stacks whose names start with "rev"

Name lookups probably only happen in the development environment. My guess is that everything is stored/referenced using the ID. I’m not sure how this could translate to LC in general though. Thanks, Brian On Oct 2, 2018, 7:04 PM -0400, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode , wrote: > Geoff Canyon
