[Andre Garzia via use-livecode]

There is https://github.com/soapdog/livecode-vobjectlib it is fairly easy
to use but it is best if you use it while reading the specs because it is a
bit low-level.

Probably when the textAlign property of a line is set to “center”?

It looks a little like a place holder for a merge function, only it's 
missing the square brackets.

Re: Getting URL to Work in specialFolderDocuments

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

You are putting a file from a url into a variable called tLocalDocumentsStories 
& sStoryTitle & "/" & sStoryTitle & ".livecode”. You should probably have a 
variable with the full path to the file: 

put tLocalDocumentsStories & sStoryTitle & "/" & sStoryTitle & ".livecode” into 
tFilePath

Then put the file from the url into the location using the URL command:

put URL (tHttpsServerRoot & sStoryTitle & "/" & sStoryTitle & ".livecode”) into 
URL (“binfile:” & tFilePath

The problem with trying to put all the fiddlybits into one line is that you 
cannot tell where things are going wrong. You sacrifice readability and ease of 
debugging for compact code, and with Livecode, do we really need compact code?

Thanks Richard for confirming, and testing on Linux. Yes I will file a bug 
report.

It occurred to me that LC shouldn’t be using as much as 34% cpu when it is just 
idling anyway, even when not running a modal stack. Testing just now shows that 
is down to around 16%; of course LC’s time share will depend on lots of OS 
factors and other running apps, but that’s still way too high for an app 
supposedly doing nothing but waiting for events. Turning off the Rinaldi 
revSmartSave plugin brings it down to between 4 and 7%, which is more 
reasonable; presumably something to do with displaying its progress bar, 
perhaps another wait side effect.

If the Project Browser is open, try closing it. On my Mac, the CPU usage 
while idle is usually close to 0 when in the background.
