Re: [ANN] Data Grid Helper clones your DataGrids and supports the MC IDE
Bonjour TheSlug, Thanks a lot again for your beautiful and very useful DGH. Data grids is a superb complement to livecode thanks to Trevor deVore. But a bit more complex than any others objects ;-) ) The properties palette allows to set only a part of the properties and before DGH, I often had to script (via the message box). Now it's rarely the case; and even for properties that are settable in the properties palette, I prefer the DGH' categorization: seems to me quite faster! And of course, I love the Install scripts part of the DGH: fantastic ;-) it avoids long searches in the data grid doc! Magnifique ! Best regards from Grenoble André Le 17 janv. 2011 à 15:45, zryip theSlug a écrit : Dear LiveCoder, We are pleased to announce the availability of a new version of DGH. What we have for you in the 1.2.0 version of DGH? 1. A new feature: Mimetism. The mimetism feature allows to clone an existing datagrid by putting it in a cloning chamber. DGH clones: - the datagrid properties, template and behaviors. - the datagrid dgData. This is different than a simple copy/paste of an existing datagrid. In DGH, the resulting clones have their own templates and behaviors, instead of sharing the template and behaviors of the original DataGrid. 2. lockloc an object in the DGH's TMPL area is now possible. 3. Change: - DGH supports now the MC IDE. - DGH is now more reactive when switching between datagrids or applying column or template changes to a datagrid. - Icons of the TMPL area objects changes according to the system (Mac and Windows / Linux) 4. Fix - Fix a bug with the visibility of a column in the column editor. An invisible column could be set to visible after an update in the TMPL area. - Fix a bug with the selection of an object in the TMPL area. An object was unselected after a drag. If you have not already tested DGH, a trial version free for 30 days is available here: http://www.aslugontheroad.co.cc/index.php?option=com_phocadownloadview=categorydownload=17:data-grid-helper-pluginid=12:trialItemid=63 We have also a quick start guide downloadable here: http://www.aslugontheroad.co.cc/index.php?option=com_phocadownloadview=categorydownload=13:data-grid-helper-quick-start-guideid=12:trialItemid=63 Thanks to William Moseid for the revision of the Quick Start Guide.

RE: RevBrowserPrint Problems
Ahh! Makes perfect sense. Now I wonder why I was expecting anything more in the first place. Thanks for this explanation, Jan. I guess this would be an area for LiveCode to improve but I'm not sure how this would be done since printing via revBrowser seems out of LiveCodes' hands. The only solution I can imagine (which I haven't tried yet) would be to toy with printing snapshots, but I'm sure this would produce pretty poor quality of text on the print out. I'll more than likely just have to design an interface which work around this somehow. Thanks, Ray Horsley LinkIt!

Software Sorry to disappoint you, Ray, but revBrowserPrint is completely separate from LiveCode's built-in printing mechanism: it merely asks the embedded browser control (WebKit on MacOSX, InternetExplorer on Windows) to print as if the user had gone to the regular browser application and clicked the 'Print' button there. This means none of the LiveCode print properties and commands have any influence (printPaperOrientation, printRanges, printCopies and printerName to point out the obviously interesting ones) on how the browser decides to print - and it won't work silently either.

Live LiveCode Code Event looking for presenters
Hi everyobdy, The Live LiveCode Code Event is an informal gathering of LiveCode users. The organisers of the Live LiveCode Code Event (mostly Björnke, sometimes me) are looking for people who would like to tell something about their life as a LiveCoder. If you are working on something, or have finished a programme, or if you know a few nice tricks, or if you just want to vent your thoughts about a LiveCode-related subject, or if you would like to give a tutorial, we welcome you to give a presentation. Everybody is completely free with regard to the contents of their presentation, as long it is related to Revolution/LiveCode. The Live LiveCode Code Events are held on Saturday between 20:00 and 22:00 CET (19:00-21:00 GMT). Usually, we have two presentations. A presentation may last 45 minutes, but shorter or longer is also alright. We use Ustream to broadcast the presentations and we will help you to set it up. If you go to http://www.ustream.tv/ and click on Sign Up, you can make an account. At http://www.ustream.tv/producer you can download FREE software that's needed to broadcast your presentation. We use ChatRev to give feedback during the presentation and to chat with each other afterwards. You can download ChatRev at http://bjoernke.com/chatrev . You can read more about it at http://livecode.tv . If you have any questions about the presentations, about the event itself, or Ustream, or if you consider giving a presentation, please contact me off-list. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.5 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce ___ 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: AW: How to narrow SQL search with multiple criterias?
I think the problem with using LC to narrow down the results of an SQL SELECT is that the database may have changed since doing the initial SELECT so what you end up with may not reflect the current state of the database. I guess that may not matter to your application, or maybe you've locked the database so it can't change but definitely a consideration. I've been doing this by saving the contents of the WHERE Clause for the SELECT in a variable then appending the additional selection criteria to it and issuing a new SELECT statement with the revised WHERE clause. Don't have an opinion on the efficiency aspects of LC vs SQL, I suspect it depends on a lot of factors.

Re: AW: How to narrow SQL search with multiple criterias?
Also remember that Trevor's sqlYoga has the ability to create query objects, and then update those objects and re-run the query. The API builds the SQL for you, so it's very easy to do recursive queries. As an aside, there is a way in mySQL (and others I am sure) to output the query as a new temporary table, assuming you have CREATE TABLE rights to the database. This can be a better way to handle large datasets. For instance, let's say you want the detail for every invoice in the prior year sorted by item code, and subtotalled for each item and totaled at the end. If the business is a very busy and profitable one, that could be a helluvalotta data! (Assume you are CDW for a moment). You would never want to return that much data to a memory variable! By having the engine output to a temp table you can then run the report on that, and never have to worry about overwhelming Rev.

iOS: what's the best place to store media files
What is the best place to store files like audio and images alongside an iOS app? I am working on a simple proof of concept app that needs to play several audio files back to back. I don't necessarily want these audio files to be backed up through iTunes, as the finished app may eventually contain hundreds of audio files (most likely in the form of downloadable packs of some kind), but they do need to be persistent between app launches. From my understanding, it looks like the app's cache folder is the best place, but I just thought I'd ask to make sure. And if that's the case, what is the best way to test this in the simulator? Do I need to copy all the audio files into the simulated app's folder at /Users/[user]/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator?

The organisers of the Live LiveCode Code Event (mostly Björnke, sometimes me) are looking for people who would like to tell something about their life as a LiveCoder. If you are working on something, or have finished a programme, or if you know a few nice tricks, or if you just want to vent your thoughts about a LiveCode-related subject, or if you would like to give a tutorial, we welcome you to give a presentation. Everybody is completely free with regard to the contents of their presentation, as long it is related to Revolution/LiveCode. The Live LiveCode Code Events are held on Saturday between 20:00 and 22:00 CET (19:00-21:00 GMT). Usually, we have two presentations. A presentation may last 45 minutes, but shorter or longer is also alright. We use Ustream to broadcast the presentations and we will help you to set it up. If you go to http://www.ustream.tv/ and click on Sign Up, you can make an account. At http://www.ustream.tv/producer you can download FREE software that's needed to broadcast your presentation. We use ChatRev to give feedback during the presentation and to chat with each other afterwards. You can download ChatRev at http://bjoernke.com/chatrev . You can read more about it at http://livecode.tv . If you have any questions about the presentations, about the event itself, or Ustream, or if you consider giving a presentation, please contact me off-list. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.5 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce ___ 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

Re: usb driver problem
Ok, so Heather said that this would not be possible as a quick fix type support ticket but that the team was looking into it and that I should open a bug report so here it is: Report 9341 has been added to the database http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=9341 @Claudi - please add your crash report to this.

Re: $PATH
from what I understand, the shell command creates a new shell session which not that of the terminal. As a result, you may have to rebuild $path correctly. Here is what I do to put the TeX executables in the shell's path: on checkTeXPATH -- for MacTeX put $PATH into theShellPATH if /usr/local/bin: is not in theShellPATH then -- for Ghostcript put /usr/local/bin: $PATH into $PATH end if if /usr/texbin: is not in theShellPATH then -- for pdftex etc.. put /usr/texbin: $PATH into $PATH end if end checkTeXPATH -- HTH François Le 26 janv. 2011 à 10:09, David Bovill a écrit : Yes - but does it return the same $PATH even after you have customised your personal user $PATH with entries in .profile or one of the many other files that you can customise yourself, or that installers of command line tools often cutomise for you (for instance MacPorts). Even in MC days on Linux, I found that my own personal shell value of $PATH was not the same as the MC result that gets returned with $PATH. I doubt this is any different on Fedora Core? For instance on my OSX system: I can use shell commands because my $PATH in the default bash shell is: /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin In LiveCode $PATH (and therefore which command line tools are found) is simply: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/local/bin This is because my .profile settings are: # MacPorts Installer addition on 2009-05-28_at_01:12:13: adding an appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts. export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH # Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts. # MacPorts Installer addition on 2009-05-28_at_01:12:13: adding an appropriate MANPATH variable for use with MacPorts. export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH # Finished adapting your MANPATH environment variable for use with MacPorts. ## # Your previous /Users/david/.profile file was backed up as /Users/david/.profile.macports-saved_2009-08-28_at_23:30:02 ## # MacPorts Installer addition on 2009-08-28_at_23:30:02: adding an appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts. export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH # Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts. Somewhere around I have code that would read and write to these files in order to keep the shell environments in LiveCode and the terminal in sync - and I need to get this right for the tools I'm working on for LiveCode TV shared code libraries, as they interface with various command line tools. Need to get to the bottom of these issues cross platform.

Re: iOS: what's the best place to store media files
Le 26 janv. 2011 à 20:35, Chris Sheffield a écrit : What is the best place to store files like audio and images alongside an iOS app? I am working on a simple proof of concept app that needs to play several audio files back to back. I don't necessarily want these audio files to be backed up through iTunes, as the finished app may eventually contain hundreds of audio files (most likely in the form of downloadable packs of some kind), but they do need to be persistent between app launches. From my understanding, it looks like the app's cache folder is the best place, but I just thought I'd ask to make sure. And if that's the case, what is the best way to test this in the simulator? Do I need to copy all the audio files into the simulated app's folder at /Users/[user]/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator? Hello, You can use the Copy files function of the standalone builder to put your files into the app. ___ 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
