copying files in Windows 8
I have a little program where I copy some files from one folder to another with revCopyFile myFile,myFolder and also delete myFile The compiled program works fine on XP and Windows 7, but I get strange behavior on Windows 8.

Re: Is someone using Coda 2 with syntax highlighting for livecode server scripts?
Peter, code colorization (as well as code completion) is implemented solely for server related parts of the language because the bundle is meant to be used for working with LiveCode server files. So, if you add ?lc or ?rev or ?livecode at the top of your code, colorization should work (with restrictions as mentioned above).

Re: Can LC application receive a shell command with parameters?
Bill, I think that you are going to have to use sockets to communicate between processes. I would suggest the following: 1) Allow your main app to accept an incoming socket requests. 2) write a small command line app that accepts the input from the command line, then sends that data to your main app via a socket. 3) Who ever is using the shell, calls the cmd line app in 1) with your data. Check out: http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4071/l/12924-how-to-communicate-with-other-applications-using-sockets http://revolution.byu.edu/internet/IntroToSockets.php Hope this helps.

AW: OS X codesigning best practise?
Hi Matthias, with App Wrapper it's really easy: 1. Buy a developer codesigning certificate at Apple 2. Start App Wrapper 3. Drag an unsigned app onto App Wrapper 4. Go to TAB Package 5. Check the Codesign checkbox 6. Choose your developer certificate 7. Don't choose any of the options below 8. Choose Wrap to folder and click Wrap at topright Beside the codesigning it makes some more validation and finishing tasks, which seems to be fine and don't bother me. In my case it also removed the PPC code from my app and from ALL apps and bundles inside my app. I don't know, if you can control that, I didn't needed the PPC code anymore.

Re: Is someone using Coda 2 with syntax highlighting for livecode server scripts?
Thanks Ralph, that got it working. It also recognizes ?lc within a comment which is great because I can now include that in a script without it causing compile issues in the IDE I'm very interested in using TextMate for editing IDE scripts but it seems like it will be hard to make it happen without a lot of manual intervention because of the scripts not being in a separate text file like the server scripts. It would be pretty easy to implement a way to write a selected script into a temporary text file with the correct extension, and the Textmate docs show how to run it with a command line argument to open a file. Finding a mechanism to get the Textmate file back into the script editor seems more challenging. Maybe OSX folder actions and an Apple Script might be able to signal a plugin somehow.

Reassigning stack names in behavior references
Behaviors are very useful. Scott Rossi gave an excellent presentation on them at the recent conference. One thing that sometimes trips me up - I’ll assign a behavior to a bunch of controls then I’ll re-name the stack that contains the original behavior button. Dumb :( because the controls can’t find the original reference button. If you ever find yourself in that situation, here’s a script to rename the referenced stack names in one shot. on updateBehaviorStackNames oldStackName -- If you change the name of the stack that owns a behavior button, then all controls that have that behavior would fail to invoke it. -- Use this handler to change the referenced stack in card controls that have behaviors. -- It will replace the old stackname reference with the new stackname if oldStackName is empty then beep answer error Please pass old stack name. end if repeat with x = 1 to the number of controls set the cursor to busy put the behavior of control x into cBehavior if cBehavior is empty then next repeat replace oldStackName with the short name of this stack in cBehavior set the behavior of control x to cBehavior end repeat end updateBehaviorStackNames Jim Lambert ___ 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
Apple TestFlight beta testing
So with the fix in LC 6.6.3, I was able to upload an app build to iTunes Connect. I wanted to play around with the new TestFlight functionality. But now when I go into iTunes Connect and try to enable the beta testing, it’s telling me my build “does not contain the correct beta entitlement”. I follow the link provided to get more info, which takes me to the iTunes Connect Developer Guide, where I can find absolutely nothing about “beta entitlement”. Has anyone else tried it yet? I’m assuming something in the bundle’s .plist file needs to be added/enabled, but not sure what. Which means something in LC will probably have to be updated. I’m guessing we could manually add what’s necessary to the .plist template before building, but I can’t find any info on it. Just thought I’d ask here to see if anyone’s given it a go yet.

Re: Is someone using Coda 2 with syntax highlighting for livecode server scripts?
Yes, I've pretty much come to that conclusion. I haven't used GLX for a while either, I'll give it another try, I know Mark has put a LOT of work into it.

Re: ios8
Linking to Xcode 6 will require a LiveCode update I’m afraid. I’m sure the team are working on it and we’ll have something shortly. As for app crashes under iOS 8, I haven’t seen any problems. However, the latest app I’ve been working on is built with LC 6.6.2 (now 6.6.3). We do have one in the app store built with LC 6.5.2, and it seems okay as well.

Re: Reassigning stack names in behavior references
Jim. Just the sort of cool sort of tools that make LC so much fun. But you need to be careful in the case where controls may have behavior pathNames that call out to more than one stack. You need to make sure that the behavior does indeed reference the deleted (oldStackName) before it replaces with the new one.

Re: Apple TestFlight beta testing
Silly question (I haven't done it myself) but is your app only for iOS 8? I note that Testflight Beta Testing is only for iOS 8 so if your app is built to be iOS 7 compatible maybe that then makes it's 'not entitled' to be Testflight Beta Tested.

Re: Apple TestFlight beta testing
TestFlight is not new. I've been using it for years (man, it's hard to believe we've had the ability to write mobile apps for several years, isn't it?). Anyway, I just used it to distribute an ios7 beta to a bunch of users last week. One of my users just emailed me tonight saying that he was able to do the install, so as of a few hours ago, it was still working.

Externals in Objective-C
n theory any language that can build shared libraries and allows you to link with the provided glue code could be used. However, in practice, some languages will require extra glue-code in order to provide an environment in which their code can run. For example, to access Objective-C you will need to ensure you set up its memory/exception environment in C wrapper functions before calling any Objective-C code. Does anyone have a copy or example of a C wrapper functions for memory/exception environment? I want to write a external using Objective-C instead of C++. Does anyone have example code of how to write a external for Revolution using Objective-C? It appears that even Swift might be able to be used for writing externals in LiveCode and Revolution. Does anyone have some example code that will allow the writing of externals with objective-C or Swift?
