Re: iOS notification app goes into background doesn't seem to work

[Mark Smith via use-livecode]

Hi Graham, figured it out. If I replace the app, and while developing I do that 
pretty frequently, the first “WillBecomeActive” does not get detected because 
the app has not yet registered for notifications. So over 48 hours I saw 3 such 
events and while I did not record the times I installed, if I replaced it 3 
times then this data would make perfect sense. I hope that is clear, and if not 
feel free to ask me to explain it better. But I think the data indicate that 
everything is working A-OK.

Sorry for any confusion I might have caused, but at least I got to the bottom 
of my own problem :)  I’ll send Elanor an email to confirm and let her know. 

Mark

Thanks Graham,

Nope, just checked and my quotes are not curly. Over a 48 hour period of 
testing, with multiple startups and shutdowns (33 in total, these were mostly 
in/out of background not actual exits and restarts) I only saw 3 instances of a 
double shutdown notification (applicationWillResignActiveNotification) without 
an intervening startup (applicationDidBecomeActiveNotification) so it’s 
evidently a very small problem (10% ?). I’ll send the log to Elanor to let her 
know. From my perspective, not something I am going to fret about.

Moving files to Windows' Recycle Bin in LiveCode -- is it possible?

[Martin Koob via use-livecode]

Hi.

On the Mac I have a handler that can move a folder to the trash by using an 
AppleScript that I call with a shell command.

I have a custom property of the stack “Scripts" cDeleteMacFolderScript that 
contains a template script

tell application "Finder"

delete "**foldertodelete**"

end tell

Then I have the following handler

on deletemacOSfolder folderMacpath

put the cDeleteMacFolderScript  of stack  “Scripts" into thescript

replace "**foldertodelete**" with folderMacpath in thescript

do thescript as applescript

end deletemacOSfolder


It works a charm, run it and the folder ends up in the Trash Easy-peasy.


I have been trying to do the same thing with Windows and not having any luck.

First Challenge was finding the path to the recycle bin.   Using 
SpecialfolderPath() to get the path for the Recycle Bin did not work.  See the 
bug report here. https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22995 


I did manage write a script using the Windows shell commands to get a path to 
the user’s Recycle Bin and then move a directory to it using the LiveCode 
rename command.  The folder is actually moved to the user's Recycle Bin but 
when you Open the Recycle Bin in the Windows Explorer GUI you don’t see the 
folder.   
Here is the script I used.

on mouseUp pButtonNumber

answer folder "Select the folder to move to Recycle Bin folder."

put it into tFoldertoRecycle

if platform() is "win32" or platform() is "win64" then

MoveFolderToRecycleBin tFolderToRecycle

end if

end mouseUp


command MoveFolderToRecycleBin pFolderToMove

put SpecialFolderPath_RecycleBinFolder() into tRecycleBinPath

replace "/" with "\" in tRecycleBinPath

set the itemDelimiter to "\"

put the last item of pFolderToMove into tFolderName

put tRecycleBinPath & "\" & tFolderName into tRecycleBinPath

put pFolderToMove into line 1 of field 1

put tRecycleBinPath   into line 2 of field 1

rename folder pFolderToMove to tRecycleBinPath

end MoveFolderToRecycleBin


function SpecialFolderPath_RecycleBinFolder

put shell ("whoami /user") into tUserInformation

set the itemDelimiter to space

put item 2 of line 7 of tUserInformation into tUserSID

put "C:\$Recycle.Bin\" & tUserSID into tUserRecycleBinPath

return tUserRecycleBinPath

end SpecialFolderPath_RecycleBinFolder


















You can see that the folder was actually moved there by using the Windows 
Command Prompt program.   If you type:

C:\> cd \$Recycle.Bin
C: \$Recycle.Bin> dir /s /a

You will get a listing of the contents of the directory and the subdirectories 
including the one that contains the files in the logged in user’s recycle bin.  
- files or folders the user dragged there in the GUI are there (but their file 
names are not the same as their actual names)
- folders I moved there using the script above are also there (their folder 
names are the same as they were in their original location).

I have read a lot of posts and documentation on the Recycle Bin and know far 
more than I ever wanted to know about it but it seems that simply moving a file 
to the users directory for the user’s Recycle Bin does not actually put it in 
the “RecycleBin" as seen in the Windows Explorer GUI.  I found a post that says 
that here.

https://superuser.com/questions/1520290/how-to-access-another-windows-10-installations-recycle-bin-files-on-a-partition

This folder (Recycle Bin)  is a special folder, because if you double-click the 
folder within Explorer, it will open the Recycle Bin program, rather than show 
the contents of that folder. As a result, it will show you all files deleted in 
your current Windows Installation, and not what is actually inside that folder.

I don’t see any other way of Recycling a folder, or a file for that matter 
using the shell short of buying and installing one of a couple of utility 
programs that popped up in some of my searches. I can’t expect users to do that.

I know you can delete a folder and its contents using the revDeleteFolder 
Command.  This removes the folder and files instantly.   I was hoping there was 
a way to just move them the Recycle Bin but it does not appear to be possible 
from shell. However the fact that there are utilities that do it mean there 
must be some way programmatically.

Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?

Thanks

Re: iOS notification app goes into background doesn't seem to work

[Graham Samuel via use-livecode]

An very timely and helpful update from Elanor at the mother ship. My problems 
with mergNotify were there because the string representing the specific 
notification “UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification” was in curly quotes! I 
literally didn’t see this, and the script editor didn’t report an error. It 
might have done something with the colorisation, but as I’m partly colour blind 
I never take much notice of this aspect of scripts. How the quotes got there is 
a mystery, as I thought I had simply copied these lines of script from an 
earlier mail by Henry Lowe, but apparently not. So, problem solved at the price 
of my red face.

The question about what being “in the background” actually means remains, and I 
hope to have an answer for that soon. If I get any info I will send it to the 
list as a new topic.

 I tried exactly your suggestion. For me, the second notification appears 
 exactly as you say, but the first one doesn’t. It’s likely that I made a 
 silly mistake but I can’t see what it is. I put other stuff in the log, so 
 it’s not just a case of the text being overwritten. Obviously the app does 
 go into the background, since it is detected coming back to the 
 foreground. This test was on the Xcode simulator, but I got essentially 
 the same results on a real iPhone.
 
 Strange.

Looking at that zip file, I don't see the library attached.  Also, does
anybody have an idea if what ID3 version this is compatible with?

Re: Strange bug

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

I will attest to the fact that strange things happen with drag drop and not 
just with Livecode. For instance if I drag a PDF to a mounted share, often, but 
not every time, Mail becomes unresponsive and I have to quit it and relaunch 
it. Also when drag dropping files from the Finder onto a Livecode object I get 
the “snap back” visual, and then the next drag drop operation will not work 
until I click the title bar of the LC window I am dragging to, or else move the 
window in some way.

Re: LC9.6.2rc build issues?

Now trying to repeat the build issue in LC962rc1, I made an edit to a 
button script. Applied the change, closed the substack window (getting 
prompted to save my changes), and the LC just exited.


Then trying a 3rd time, everything worked as expected.

Maybe it was a bad preferences file that fixed itself or  gremlins!

Re: LC9.6.2rc build issues?

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

okay, this did not happen the next time I tried. The first time I have 
made a number of changes to two substacks in the mainstack (and saved) 
and then tried building the standalone and got the errors and loop.


The second time I made no changes. I just opened the mainstack (and let 
the app startup) and then build the standalones using 962rc1 and it worked.


I have to try making changes again and see if I can get the issue to 
repeat itself.

Any one else have any problems?

Strange bug

Hi friends,

FYI: I found a very strange and serious bug, if you have a minute, please take 
a look:

A real showstopper in my opinion!

With an example stack (in my dropbox, my browser does not allow me to select 
a file as attachment!?). Shows the problem clearly on a Mac.
May probably work correctly on Windows, maybe not.
