Stephen: > Putting down the FBI won’t help anything and makes me think you > might be partial to the dark forces and fake news. We get enough > of the hate through other sources and it is unwelcome here. Ah Stephen, it's good to see that you've moved on from your previous practice of gender-bashing! That's rather nice for a change. Unfortunately, your current direction doesn't look any healthier. First, your conflating two very unrelated matters - that's (once again) illogical. And logic is healthier and more effective. Second, you are taking a general position AGAINST a law enforcement organization doing what it's supposed to do, i.e. uphold the law. You seem to be FOR politicization of law enforcement and government corruption. That leads to neglect of actual crimes, including scams. There is widespread agreement here that scams are common; the fact that crime is commonplace fits well with what I've suggested. My position is that law enforcement should NOT be political and SHOULD focus on the law. That is both the logical and the moral position to take. Third, you reveal your own unhealthy obsession with "dark forces and fake news" - you feel persecuted and pelted by hate from other sources (which you don't simply turn off/avoid?) and along with illogically projecting your own hate or the hate you perceive from said other sources, you also have a tendency toward the "royal we" where your own emotions/conflations are assigned to the list in general. Interesting, Stephen! Do go on. You reveal quite a lot about yourself each time you post. I think popcorn is appropriate.

Re: OT Friendly customers....
Stephen: > Curry's gaslight and personal attack Sorry guy, not true. Simply holding your post up to logic. You are political, so maybe you see politics everywhere. As I wrote to you offlist, in reply to your hateful and cursing rant: "Look again at my post. Notice the timeframe of the scams I mentioned. Now become aware of the timeframe of the FBI stuff YOU are talking about. Then apply logic. Or math. If you can!" It turns out that you are here promoting a particular brand of politics. Or at least attacking what you perceive as a different brand. And ironically, you display outright hatred against a group of people! Without being a bit bashful about it. Nice, Stephen. Great follow-up to your previous gender-bashing, which I'll be more than happy to link, if that's what you desire. I briefly mentioned lawfulness and spoke AGAINST politicizing institutions as a way to reduce crime and scams, in the context of and relevant to an already off-topic discussion. Too many scams, in turn affecting customer service for software. I don't believe politics should be on this list, anymore than in law enforcement. I was speaking AGAINST politics. You are still promoting them. As we see here: > tells me all I need to > know about which team Curry is cheering for. Offlist, you explained what you meant by "team" - you wrote: > I am against TRUMP and his party and all they stand for. > If you are one of those people, then I can only surmise you > support the hate and racism and I have ZERO respect for you > or your smartass opinions. > Are you really the dude I had lunch with downtown Sebastopol? So again, if you are able to notice details, look at the time frames in my post, and you may finally notice that your rant had no logical basis. Beyond that, it's very troubling - the only hate I see here is yours. You used illogical means to place me into a group that you hate. And then you acted upon and demonstrated that hate toward me. It's not pretty. I hope you can grow beyond this tendency to hate! It's a real handicap. You are obviously a person with a lot of potential. Ditch the hatred. Logic and math are good friends. Trust them instead of prejudices. Whether it's gender, Trump, or whatever. Ease off the politics a bit! Get back into LiveCode and logic. :) And BTW, I've never even been to Sebastopol. What is that about? Best way to respond to hate is with love: I love you, Stephen. You have potential. Hope you get better.

Re: Text field in Windows standalone not receiving keyboard focus
Andrew: > You can click in the field and the blinking I-bar is inserted, > but typing on the keyboard does nothing. I love field topics! Win/Mac differences can really hit you, even on a stack that you thought was well-tested. Because only well-tested on one platform. This glitch sounds familiar from the past, but I've had less Mac work than usual for the past few months; mostly Windows. Rusty this month. I think I've seen this, but can't remember the cause. I've seen cases where the app or stack would lose focus. Other cases where the control itself loses focus. On Windows, a button may get the focus depending on properties. But usually you would lose the blinking. And I've seen scripts intercept the keystrokes. They may act differently per platform. To diagnose it methodically, if blinking really continues during typing: - add a keydown handler in the field. Is it received? - add a keydown handler in the card. Who's the target? - any front script or other library intercepting keystrokes? - any behaviors? Knowing what control is actually getting those keystrokes will lead you to the culprit. (Or even whether your stack/app is getting them.) And if the normal culprits are exonerated, don't forget the more obscure and exotic possibilities: - white text, or textshift? - text added but clipped by a tabstop? - does all your startup code get executed? (And preopencard/stack code?) - is this a real Windows machine or virtualized setup? (Weird things can happen if a startup-type script is interrupted silently by an error.) > This ONLY happens in executable on Windows, not in IDE That's always the biggest tip-off. So unless it's an LC bug/glitch, this can be effective: - check standalone inclusions - add error reporting to the standalone Without reporting, errors in exe are silent - and you might say, deadly. After an error, any code after it is not executed. > Pasting text into any of these fields seems to unlock the ability > to type, as does switching to another application and switching back, > but only until you leave the card and come back again. That's a big tip-off too. Any card script? Any paste script? There may be a script modifying a field property. Or another control getting in the way. All those can be tested and confirmed. You can log field properties. When you find it, could you let me know?

Text field in Windows standalone not receiving keyboard focus
I have an app with a group of fields who are struggling to accept keyboard input. It seems to just be 1 group of 4 fields on a single card (that has been noticed). You can click in the field and the blinking I-bar is inserted, but typing on the keyboard does nothing. Pasting text into any of these fields seems to unlock the ability to type, as does switching to another application and switching back, but only until you leave the card and come back again. This ONLY happens in executable on Windows, not in IDE and never on Mac (where I am developing which is why I missed the bug in testing). Once you unlock 1 of the 4 fields in the group they all unlock until you leave the card and come back where the problem manifests again.There is another group of text files (hidden so not on screen the same time as the offending group) that accepts keyboard input fine without any hacks which points to a problem with the group. There are no scripts on the field or group itself. I have already tried a “focus on nothing” without any luck. -Andrew Bell ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: open secure socket... using certificate
Agreed. All a cert does is guarantee (if I can use such a word in the security realm) that the current host is who they say they are. If simple encryption is needed, just do that. I use unsecured sockets in one of my libraries, but I encrypt the data before I send it, then decrypt it on the other end.

Stephen: > forgive me that last post was supposed to be for Curry only Stephen, I want to thank you for providing verification of the kind of hate speech/harrassment you were sending offline. And for the record, I didn't attack you - I mentioned the FBI's lack of action when commenting on the proliferation of scams. Didn't start that thread, nor that topic. Didn't promote politics; stated my position AGAINST politicizing institutions, so that real crime can be addressed. Nor did I mention Trump or a political position. You ILLOGICALLY jumped to the conclusion that I was talking about this year's political situation (ignoring the details, including the dates that clearly preceded the situation you have in mind) and decided to mentally place me into a category of people that you hate. Then you proceeded to attack ME (based on irrational reasoning) and send me hateful messages. Along with creepy demands to know which "team" I'm on.

I'm not bothered if you have "zero respect" or hate me based on your prejudices and illogical thinking. I do find it disturbing when I see hatred, but it doesn't bother me personally when it's directed at me. I'll sleep just fine! Rest assured that I'm definitely not on your "team." You can keep all that offlist - and remember, I'm not your offlist. Start a hate blog, or talk to your buddies about it. But I do care about logic. Look at the years: you messed up.

Bob: > Why am I still seeing this? Why are you continuing this topic? And quoting the entire text? I consider the topic closed, and the horse just about beaten to death. Dead yet? Yeah...probably. Just about. I didn't start this, or even continue it - I received a series of unprovoked attacks. Each time I've responded only to correct the facts. The posts are all archived, and that's easily proven. This time too. But I am sorry that anyone else had to see this discussion. For that matter, sorry I had to see it too! I don't want it. Incredible waste of time and list space. This was Stephen's topic, so I can't answer the why. No idea. Stephen owns this topic and his political comments. Nor do I have the slightest interest in it. I suggest again that we move off this topic, and stick to LC discussion. Maybe next time you can quote an entire post that's LC-related! Back to LC please. Thanks.

Re: open secure socket... using certificate
well..that was short lived. bummer I guess, esp if you really need it in that form. I would ask about it and try to get an answer in clear terms from the team. Richard. in the labs .. I am testing the viability of using Livecode as ONLY a UI layer. So I have to find the fastest way of getting decrypted JSON data from Core process (Go binary) to the UI Layer that is a LC stack. So when communicating data via the localhost or socket, I figured it should still be encrypted if possible when in transit between the 2 programs. It's an attack vector in this kind of a scenario, a local one, not remote as much. It would have been nice to reply on the protocol for it. I can get around this particular problem of course by encrypting on one side and decrypting on the other, also. If I am really paranoid about my security. What do you think will be the fastest way? Socket? Open Process? I'm still setting up a test for latency and throughput. I will not be testing this for a few months, but when I have results on this experiment, I will report. Thanks for asking I guess, got me thinking about it.

Re: open secure socket... using certificate
With SSL the encryption occurs at the socket level, that is the socket is secured by virtue of it’s creation. With StartTLS, also an SSL protocol, the socket is first established, then a secure tunnel is created. (Transport Layer Security) My point? The socket connection itself does not need to be secured, and indeed it’s less desirable if it is. An SSL encrypted certificate must be passed at least once so that host and client both have the public and private key. This is necessary when the host is unknown. To Richard’s point, if you control the host AND the client, a certificate is not needed. You KNOW the host is secure. Simply pass encrypted traffic over an unsecured socket. The result is the same, only nothing about the method is ever passed over the socket connection. I may misunderstand though.

Nextcloud is the only file syncing system I know of that provides an API for file locking, but given the nature of syncing systems it comes with a good many caveats, noted here: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/20/admin_manual/configuration_files/files_locking_transactional.html I have a similar need to support distributed workflows through syncing systems, and after reviewing those notes and other discussions it's became clear to me that with sufficient editing frequency conflict files are unavoidable, so now I'm focusing on smarter conflict-file resolution. > If there is not a way to tell, has anyone created some sort of stack > check-out/check-in system that they'd be willing to share? File syncing involves latency, and in those delays between saves and updates across all distributed clients there will inevitably be conflicts. Even if you use a lock file as a semaphore for other clients to know that a file is being edited, that semaphore itself needs to be distributed through the same inherently-latent system, and therefore is prone to arriving too late to be of any value. When data integrity is critical and conflict-file resolution is not a clean option, I can think of no other solution than to maintain storage of the files on a server, where check-in/check-out can be handled explicitly and immediately. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Double sided PDF Problem
Right after I sent the message below, I think I understand what you meant. You want to print double-sided pages of all the cards in a stack. Is that right? On a regular printer you don't have to do anything special; if the printer driver supports double-sided printing then it just works. For PDFs, I'd have to check.

I'm not sure I'm imagining this accurately. Do you have a sketch or a mockup with numbered boxes you could point me to to see what you're output is like?

Re: Text field in Windows standalone not receiving keyboard focus
Try comparing the properties of a group that works with the one that doesn't. Also compare individual field properties, in particular check the traversalOn, autoHilite, and lockText. That alone wouldn't explain why it appears to fix itself occasionally, but could point to a script that changes one of these properties. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On January 28, 2021 3:33:39 PM Andrew at MidWest Coast Media via use-livecode wrote: I have an app with a group of fields who are struggling to accept keyboard input. It seems to just be 1 group of 4 fields on a single card (that has been noticed). You can click in the field and the blinking I-bar is inserted, but typing on the keyboard does nothing. Pasting text into any of these fields seems to unlock the ability to type, as does switching to another application and switching back, but only until you leave the card and come back again. This ONLY happens in executable on Windows, not in IDE and never on Mac (where I am developing which is why I missed the bug in testing). Once you unlock 1 of the 4 fields in the group they all unlock until you leave the card and come back where the problem manifests again.There is another group of text files (hidden so not on screen the same time as the offending group) that accepts keyboard input fine without any hacks which points to a problem with the group. There are no scripts on the field or group itself. I have already tried a “focus on nothing” without any luck. -Andrew Bell ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Paranoia can be healthy, when taken as directed. There may be a benefit to encrypting localhost sockets that I'm unfamiliar with, and if someone can point me to threat vector I'd be grateful to learn. But I can't recall seeing a system that uses encrypted comms on local sockets. > What do you think will be the fastest way? Socket? Open Process? Sockets and multiprocessing are such different things I'm pretty sure I don't understand the usage scenario. But if you can describe we can brainstorm to optimize, as many good threads here have done before. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

RE: open secure socket... using certificate
Maybe this is a possible workaround using cURL command-line utility? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10079707/https-connection-using-curl-from-command-line Just my 2 cents. -Original Message- From: use-livecode On Behalf Of Bernard Devlin via use-livecode Sent: woensdag 27 januari 2021 11:48 To: How to use LiveCode Cc: Bernard Devlin Subject: Re: open secure socket... using certificate Hi Tom You shouldn't get any hopes up. I'd commented in the bug report in 2014 that this was something that we'd been told was coming back in the days of LC version 2.
