Re: Newbie -- files are not showing on my WIN Vista desktop
Hi Ken and Others, (Happy Fathers Day too!) Thanks. Sorta fixed. What Ken wrote worked. I put the suggested code from Ken into the message box. Fine. File showed up in the desktop as expected. Next, with the same LC project open, do SAVE puts a visible LC project on the desktop too. Wonderful so far. Things work as long as I don't do SAVE AS or SAVE with the LC and direct it into the Comuter / Progams / RunRev / LiveCode 5.5 branches. Perhaps I as a user can not view files nor folders within or under the / programs directory? Permission things. Then, I go to Computer / Programs / RunRev / Livecode 5.5 / June 2012 / and SAVE AS... and that file is NOT visible when I go to look for it without being within LiveCode. Now I can make a working LiveCode folder in my documents folder. So, I save the project outside of the programs directory and can see the LC icon / project as expected.

Re: Newbie -- files are not showing on my WIN Vista desktop
Just sounds like permissions from hell kinda problem. Have your administrators set up permissions for a LAN? Ar eyou running with an account that does not have administrative privs? In either of these cases, you need to figure out where you have permissions and only save there.

Re: Where do you save preferences?
Hi Richard, It seems that the HIG and the Mac App Store requirements are at odds for some reason. Here's what the OS X Developer Library Submitting To The App Store document has to say. Note there's no mention of the Preferences folder. - *Your application may write to the following directories:* - *~/Library/Application Support/app-identifier* - *~/Library/app-identifier* - *~/Library/Caches/app-identifier* *where app-identifier is your application's bundle identifier, its name, or your company’s name. This must exactly match what is in iTunes Connect for the application* An application can also write to the ~/Pictures, ~/Movies, and ~/Music folders and any directory that the user expicilty requests in a Save dialog. I haven't personally submitted to the App store but I've been told by people that have that their app was refused beacuse they weren't adhering to the above requirements. Why Apple should suddenly decide it's not OK to write preferences files to the Preferences folder is beyond me, maybe these locations are more in line with how things work on iPhone/iPad? Of course, if you're not planning on submitting to the MAS, then I imagine there's nothing to stop you following the HIG.

I believe the difference there is installation vs. runtime. The OS X HIG clearly notes that files in the Preferences folder is for user-generated data. As such, your app should never need to install anything there, but of course will need to write there at runtime when the user makes changes in your app's Preferences window. If you need to install data for your app in a user-writable folder, the HIG suggests using the Application Data folder for that. In short, the Preferences folder is the same as it's always been, with the Application Support folder also available for non-user-generated data. AFAIK, the only difference now is that Apple is finally enforcing the guidelines they've been publishing for the last decade. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/**FourthWorldSyshttp://twitter.com/FourthWorldSys __**_ 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-livecodehttp://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: set tab widths on combo box
You might read the article here. http://www.runrev.com/newsletter/march/issue87/newsletter4.php It details a custom built combo box. The link to the example is no longer valid, but a copy of it can be found at http://www.imksoftware.co.uk/JDCombobox.zip (I found this link at http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2011-August/160235.html . Since it uses a real field for the custom control you should be able to set the tabstops to your hearts content, plus it looks and works very well. Jerry puts together good stuff.

Re: sending focus to next field
This should get you headed in the right direction In normal fields: on closeField goNextUseableField the number of me end closeField on exitField goNextUseableField the number of me end exitField In the Card Script: (watch for line wraps) on goNextUseableField pNum put the number of flds of this stack into tMax repeat if (pNum = tMax) then put 1 into pNum else add 1 to pNum end if if ((the visible of fld pNum is true) and \ (the enabled of fld pNum is true)) then focus on fld pNum exit repeat end if end repeat end goNextUseableField NOTE: I tested this and it worked fine on Normal fields but not Scrolling List fields. It would appear that closeField is not sent to Scrolling List fields. This should not be insurmountable as other messages are available. This is certainly a lot easier than trying to keep track of which fields are visible/enabled and which aren't.

Re: sending focus to next field
Sorry, this: put the number of flds of this stack into tMax should have read: put the number of flds of this CARD into tMax I have become too accustomed to using single card stacks.

lcTaskList Plugin 1.0rc2 Released
I've released the second open beta release candidate of the Task List plugin for LiveCode for download. What's New: Color banding in the list (thanks to Bernd Niggemann for this) Preferences for color banding and font size Preference to exclude specified stacks from being indexed Preference to view entire description in a tooltip. This is useful if you have the lcTaskList window very narrow Thanks for the recent use-list discussion of where to save the preference file. This version saves a new prefs file called lcTaskList.prefs in the appropriate places on Macintosh, Windows, and Linux. Any previous preferences will be ignored and need to be entered again. Bill Vlahos _ InfoWallet (http://www.infowallet.com) is about keeping your important life information with you, accessible, and secure. lcTaskList: (http://www.infowallet.com/lctasklist/index.htm) ___ 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
