Re: livecode connect framework

This,i would say, is a question only Mark Waddingham could answer.  

Since the last LCG there were no updates or any news.

Does anyone know if LiveCode Connect ever come out of beta?  I have a
project coming up which uses OpenAPI and it would save me a lot of work if
Connect is available.

Re: Saving a tab formatted field to a file and retaining its formatting

[Robert J. Earp via use-livecode]

Dear Håkan,
Please accept my apologies at not replying to you before, and many thanks for 
contacting me and the suggestion.  For our current use we can manually set the 
tab positions in a field, and now that we have learnt to combine "open printing 
to pdf" and “ evPrintField" we can easily output formatted .pdf docs.  Why this 
is not identified in the dictionary I don’t know, but like a lot of things in 
LC, and all of its predecessors, the dictionary leaves a lot to be desired and 
really you have to use it a lot to get proficient, to use the expertise of the 
user lists !!

Again, many thanks for the help, I hope I can reciprocate at some time.

Kind regards, Bob...

 Dear all, we have a field that is formatted nicely with tabs and want to

 Anybody got any ideas how to do this ?
 
 Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
 
 best, Bob?

Re: Encrypted standalones

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

In my case it isn't a splash stack this time, it's self-contained. But 
that pane is always disabled for mobile apps, regardless of the 
structure of the mainstack.

I’ll be interested in hearing the answer to this. I had assumed that the setup 
would be a splash stack that loaded the other app stacks, which were in the 
resources folder. True?

It's not actually a regression, it's always been that way. But it's
too piddly to bother the team with right now, and there's a
workaround. Maybe


It's curious that the entire Stacks pane is disabled when either mobile 
platform is selected.

That seems intentional, but I can't imagine why each one of those features is 
irrelevant when building for mobile.

At a minimum, it would be nice to be able to set the password.
