Assuming you mean iOS, try this. The following script should let you take a 
photo and upload it to an ftp server (and it'll save the image to the iPhone's 
photo album too). This is untested :) 

on takePhoto thePhotoName
  if the environment is mobile then
iPhonePickPhoto rear camera, 600,800
if the result = cancel then 
  exit takePhoto
end if
put image (the number of images) into url /
(ftp://username:passw...@yourdomain.com/public_html/project/photos/; 
thePhotoName .jpg)   
iphoneExportImageToAlbum image (the number of images) 
delete image (the number of images)
  end if
end takePhoto

Cheers

[ANN] A quick update on my book

2013-05-27 Thread Mark Schonewille

Hi guys,

It is now one month ago that I started the sale of my book Programming 
Livecode for the Real Beginner. I was amazed by the high demand. While 
I expected to need several months to sell all copies, the book is almost 
sold out already. We have now 14 copies left and if you want one, you'll 
have to be quick.


I have set up a simple portal at 
http://livecodebeginner.economy-x-talk.com/ with a few useful links. Not 
all sections are functional yet, but the most important sections are 
available. Now that people are receiving their books and start reading, 
they might have questions. That's why I have set up a QA system where 
everyone can ask and answer questions. This is the only place where I 
will try to answer as many questions about my book as possible. It will 
be very useful to collect all questions in one place, both for readers 
and for me. If I ever decide to write a new edition, I'll have all your 
feedback in one location.


Evidently, we are getting many e-mails and we can't always answer 
everything. For questions such as when do I get my book and does the 
price include postage, please refer to the website http://qery.us/3hd 
or read the FAQ at http://qery.us/3hc . Everyone who e-mailed to report 
to have received the book, many thanks for letting us know. It is very 
useful to know that books are arriving.


There are still a few people who have never replied to my e-mails. 
Everyone who orders the book, gets at least two e-mails. One of the 
e-mails asks to confirm your address. If you still haven't confirmed 
your address and never got an e-mail about it, you must be wondering why 
you didn't hear from me. Probably, you have a greedy spam filter in 
place or you provided an incorrect e-mail address when paying for the 
book. To those people the urgent request to contact me!


If you have any other questions, you can use the contact form on the 
website.

Re: Data Grid Question

2013-05-27 Thread Joe Hamburger
Hi Again,

I'm using v 6.0.1 on Mac OS 10.6.8. I haven't been able to use the inspector to 
force a datagrid column to retain the line numbers after sorting. Is there a 
way 
to address the difficulty in a script without using the inspector? I'm very 
appreciative of the help you've given me so far. I thought changing to the 
community version might fix my problem with the inspector, but it didn't. Aside 
from this single problem the dataGrid works like a charm.

Thanks for your suggestion Peter. I checked and the dgProps(row template) 
property does exist.

Another problem:
Too often the inspector becomes the top stack and I could change it. Since I 
don't want to do that, what's causing it to happen so I can avoid screwing up 
the inspector stack? This was also a problem I had in version 5 that still 
happens in version 6.

Is there a list of the changes between version 5 and 6 so I can take advantage 
of these new features and enhancements?

For a long time, I kept inserting lines before my 'the result' test and 
breaking things.  So, I often use 'put the result into r' right after the 
command I need the result for and then test with r as needed.  Paranoid 
overkill maybe.

7 Characters to the 36 bit word on a PDP-10.

 Back to you problem.  Is that solved?

Merely hacked for the moment--but in an untenable way.

 I would be inclined to use the unicodeText property put take text out of a 
 field and to set it.
Then, use uniEncode and uniDecode to convert that to and from UTF8.  That's 
assuming
UTF8 is right for your db and other needs.

Can that figure out where something came from?  Or am I still stuck
with not an idiot at the keyboard?

My prospective issue is cutting  pasting from anything that showed up
on the user screen.

I think I'm safe to assume that anything typed in from the present
machine can be used.

I have to deal with, though, someone typing on windows and then
pulling it out on a Mac or iPad (or linux, or android . . .), and vice
versa.

Can I simply set livecode to be UTF8 in its fields?  Or do I need to
double encode/decode on every save of text?

I'd like to stay with just UTF8, if possible, since I can't stay at 7
bit ascii and write Peña . . . but I need to have it appear the same
on all systems.

Turning UTF8 to pdf will probably give me better results than an
operating-system set, too.

 However, there have recently been some enhancements that might make some 
 other
methods better.  Others, would probably have a better notion than I on using 
those.

 However, it might be possible to set up both apps and the db to use some

That's going to bite me on Windows, though, I think . .

Right. There's no set amount of time or number of calls that change the 
result, it just changes whenever another command or function sets it. 
That can be in the next line or twenty lines down the script, though 
since a lot of things reset the result, it's usually sooner than later. 
In general, it happens when it's the most inconvenient.

In America, I believe the word to use here is 'bummer'.



Windows Vista- C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Application

Windows 8 - C:/Users/*username*/AppData/Roaming/RunRev

Mac- Library/Application Support/Runrev/Licenses

and you should see the licence file (or several).

Copy the thing and use it on any machines that are not internet connected.

The Free version needs a licence file if you don't have an internet

want RunRev to know that you have installed LC OSS across 500 machines :)

Of course there has been quite a lot of tooth-sucking around and about

SQLite allows insertion of a turnip into an integer field, or anything

Best Practice (as of 2013) for Accelerator Keys

2013-05-27 Thread Brahmanathswami
I have an old app (build circa 2002) that still runs amazingly well. I 
have done a few small updates over time, but the basics remain the same.


It is a transcription program that requires quicktime and functions like 
the old pedal deals where you stop and start the tape. I added other 
bells and whistles, like downloading .mp3 file from our server, save XML 
transcripts to the server via Post to a CGI and some user 
authentication...  and a spell checker dynamically downloaded 
dictionaries etc.


But the basics are simple: use picks an audio file (with a button) a 
path is set on a player... click Play... must wait a few seconds 
(5-10) for quicktime to register the time codes so that i can get a 
currentTime and then we use this in stop, back, forward, resume buttons.


Now:  loong ago I set up these keys:

--Accelerators for buttons --
command setUpAcceleratorKeys

set the acceleratorKey of button Stop to 1
set the acceleratorModifiers of button Stop to alt
set the acceleratorKey of button Back up to 2
set the acceleratorModifiers of button Back up to alt
set the acceleratorKey of button Forward to 3
set the acceleratorModifiers of button Forward to alt
set the acceleratorKey of button Resume to 4
set the acceleratorModifiers of button Resume to alt

end setUpAcceleratorKeys

But now I'm getting reports from a Windows 8 user that

a) the alt key does not in fact work on his machine for this, but the 
control key does...and apparently this is what you use on Windows Media 
Player
b) occasionally he will get a failure of control-1  which will not 
stop the player as expected. instead he has to hit control-4 to 
resume  and *then* control-1 will work


Button Stop

on mouseUp
   set the playrate of player TheTape to 0
  put fld theMovieTime into fld saveTime
  disable button back up
  disable button Forward
end mouseUp

Button Resume

on mouseUp
  enable button Back Up
  enable button Forward
  if the hilite of btn resumeBack then
  send mouseup to btn Back Up
  exit mouseUp
  end if
  if the currentTime of player theTape = 0 then
send mouseUp to button Pick up from last session
  else
 set the playrate of player theTape to fld speed
 --starts player theTape
  end if
end mouseUp

Those were my very naive days... today I would put these commands into 
commands in the card or stack script and call them from the buttons.


Also I have a menu  with Stop | Back | Forward | Resume|   and these 
also just ping the buttons to do their work.


but I was never able to successfully append the right key codes to the 
end of the menu items such that they would work on both Mac and Windows.


So, what I'm looking for is today's best practices for accelerator keys 
that run cross platform, as my current method are, literally, 11 years 
old in this app.

miner's) threw the error.  I also got it from double-curly quotes
that came from somewhere.

If I can limit livecode fields to UTF8, I think it solves my problems.


Are the tables and fields in your postgres database set to unicode 
encoding, and UTF8 not UTF16, since this is what you are feeding 
there?

Re: curlyquotes, character sets, livecode, and english

Unicode is a character set. UTF-8 is an encoding. 

Is Unicode an encoding in LiveCard?

 I'm guessing that openoffice can do full UTF8, or at least the BMP (the main 
 group of characters).  
 
 Maybe the easiest thing is to allow full Unicode in your fields.  Then 
 convert that to UTF8 and back for the db.  I think folks can help with that.
 
 Embrace Unicode.  
 
 An alternative is to tell the db what character set you are using and the 
 same with openoffice.

 Hmm, to narrow this:  I just need something that livecode  postgres can
 agree upon.  With the proviso that people are likely to be pasting into my

 Hmm, and it also needs to be something that openoffice can interpret when
 it pulls from a db.

Best screencast demo ever!

This doesn't have anything to do with LiveCode or me but it is so clever I just 
had to share it.

 I have a utility that I keep open doing just what Dar said. I push

It might be quicker to just get the clipboardData[text].
