Hi-Res Images at Natural Size?

[Scott Rossi]

I hope I'm missing something with regard to displaying hi res images in a
mobile (iOS) stack...


If one has a mobile stack built at "natural size" (say 320 x 568, iPhone
5), is it possible to display hi res images in the stack without resizing
the stack?

I have an image that's saved at double the stack resolution (say 640 x
640), but no matter what I try, I can't seem to scale the image down to
fit the stack while maintaining its "hi-resiness" -- the image always
appears soft.  I'm wondering if this is because LC is scaling the stack to
fit the screen, so regardless of resizeQuality and original resolution,
the image is displayed upscaled?  Is there some combination of the dozen
or so screen-mobile-pixel-density-factor-scaling properties that I'm
missing?

Am at loss -- thanks for any suggestions.

Re: updating progress to user during long handler

[Phil Davis]

Hi James,

I find it sometimes helps to lock & unlock the screen right after 
updating a progress bar, when it's part of a long process at least. Or 
throw in a "wait 0 seconds" right after it - that can help too. It seems 
the OS sometimes needs a reminder that it's time for it to update the 
screen.


Thanks -
Phil

Re: leap to future

[James Hale]

Soon after HTML5 was released I too remembered Kevin's announcement and 
wondered why I was not seeing HTML5 in my license.
I wrote to support and soon after HTML5 appeared in my license for all LC8's.
So I am not sure what to make of the response from support stating they are 
separate as for me, and I guess quite a few others, they are not.

Datagrid Scrolling is GLACIAL.

[stephen barncard]

Is there any trick to speed up a datagrid's scrolling?
I've come back to an old project started in stable 6 and I don't remember
it being so slow...

MACOS Yosemite latest versions of 8 and 7 - Mac Pro 5,1 17gigs ram

350 records  13 fields. Almost useless.

really slow. Is it time for the DG to be 'binary' ? Possible?

It's one of the coolest features and I'd love to use it.

Re: LCB: Error: illegal escape in string

[Peter Haworth]

Doesn't seem like it should be treated as an escape character since it's in
quotes, as you say.  I'd enter a QCC report about it and see what the LCB
team have to say.

Re: LCB: Error: illegal escape in string

[Stephen MacLean]

Hi Phil,

Thanks for responding, I’m not one either and it works fine with no issues when 
run directly in LC. 

Removing the “\” does cure the error, but of course doesn’t work any more.

So the question I guess is two fold: 1) Why is that considered an escape 
character when it is enclosed in quotes and 2) How do you escape it?

Sorry, trying to learn LCB. Documentation is hard to find, at least for me. The 
dictionary for LCB is very light at the moment.

Thanks,

Steve MacLean

Build Number for Mobile Standalones?

[Scott Rossi]

Is there any way to get/set a build number for a mobile standalone like
the build number used in Xcode?

I'm not looking to set a custom property, but rather use a real build
number that is saved along with the app's version number.

Thanks for any pointers for this.

Hmm, it is possible I have a lock screen buried in there somewhere.

Re: updating progress to user during long handler

[jameshale]

Hi Craig,
This is what I initially did but, as you surmised, I actually had no way of
knowing or predicting the actual progress. I then made some calculations and
'step' loops placing a sequence of progress bar updates.
Didn't work. Some bars didn't show and those that did didn't progress.
Hence I thought of the simpler solution of just informing the user of what
is going on.

I'm not much of a regex guy, but what happens if you remove the

Cursor changes to a hand in the ide

[Jim Byrnes]

I am running the Community Edition vers 7.1.1 Build 10048 on Ubuntu 14.04.

I am just getting started with Livecode and was laying out the gui for 
my first little project.  I'm not sure what I did but the cursor changed 
to the hand pointer and now I can no longer work with any of my 
controls. Most of the menu items are greyed out but I could select quit. 
When I did that I was allowed to save my work, but when I opened it back 
up I still could not get rid of the hand pointer. Clicking on the run 
tool or edit tool does nothing.


Do any of you experienced people have any idea what I could have done to 
cause this and how I can get back to normal operations?


Thanks,  Jim

LCB library tutorials?

Hi All,

Looking to see if anyone has put up a tutorial for making an LCB library 
extension?

I’ve been able to find Trevor Devore’s url_parser lib on github, but haven’t 
seen much else.

If no tutorials, can someone describe the differences that need to be changed 
from widget to library?

Thanks,

Steve MacLean

Re: [ANN] Release 8.0.0 DP 15

Well; "burger', "cog" or something else?

Personally a start might be to have the "cog" (if that's what we are 
going to have) with a lot more contrast against its background, or even 
"Heaven forfend" in a different colour.

Re: updating progress to user during long handler

[dunbarx]

Hi.


While you have your processing handler doing its thing, why not increment a 
progress bar at intervals? I do not know if that process knows accurately where 
it is along its journey, but this is the best feedback for the user.


I have noticed progress bars that proceed nicely, giving the user hope for a 
speedy finish, and then "hang" 99% of the way through for a while. That is why 
I asked if your process "knows" its place.

Subject: updating progress to user during long handler

I have a splash stack that loads and calls the main stack before closing.
While the splash is being displayed the preopen handler in my main stack asks 
for a file to locate.
Once located it then loads and processes the file before it takes over.

The processing takes some time and I have been trying to work out a way of 
informing the user of what it taking place.
I have a field on the splash stack which contains info text for the user and I 
would like to change this text as the processing is going on.

I thought I could use something like this...

put "Extracting epub" into mupdate
send "updateme mupdate" to stack "splash"
wait 0 milliseconds with messages

at different places within the processing handler and it would send the text 
off an update the splash stack field. 
(updateme is a handler in the splash stack script which simply enters "mupdate" 
into the field.)

Obviously this doesn't work.

First, can I do what I want?
Second, where am I going wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.


James

updating progress to user during long handler

[James Hale]

I have a splash stack that loads and calls the main stack before closing.
While the splash is being displayed the preopen handler in my main stack asks 
for a file to locate.
Once located it then loads and processes the file before it takes over.

The processing takes some time and I have been trying to work out a way of 
informing the user of what it taking place.
I have a field on the splash stack which contains info text for the user and I 
would like to change this text as the processing is going on.

I thought I could use something like this...

put "Extracting epub" into mupdate
send "updateme mupdate" to stack "splash"
wait 0 milliseconds with messages

at different places within the processing handler and it would send the text 
off an update the splash stack field. 
(updateme is a handler in the splash stack script which simply enters "mupdate" 
into the field.)

Obviously this doesn't work.

First, can I do what I want?
Second, where am I going wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.


James

Re: leap to future

[Stephen MacLean]

Hi Shawn,

You may need to re-license your copy of LC specifically for HTML5 deployment.

Login to your account at livecode.com and see what licenses you have. You’ll 
see the HTML5 license separately. 

I have both HTML5 and Indy, but need to re-license my copy specifically for 
HTML5 when I want to work with HTML5. According to the reply I got from 
livecode support when I asked to have them merged, she said that’s not how the 
HTML5 license works and that hopefully at some point in the future, you can 
have them grouped together:

"Thank you for your request. Unfortunately, I cannot do this. This is how the 
HTML5 license works currently, you have to relicense to use it.

Hopefully at some point in the future the development team will alter how 
LiveCode handles the licensing so that this becomes possible.”

hth,

Steve MacLean

Re: leap to future

[Matthias Rebbe | M-R-D]

Hi Shawn,

the lifetime license from the 1st Kickstarter campaign is for all platforms 
Livecode supported at the time when the Kickstarter campaign ran and for all 
new platforms Livecode will support in future.
That is a fact and already confirmed by Kevin in several posts and emails.

If your license does not list Html5 as supported platform, then just drop the 
support team an email and ask them to add Html5 to your license. 

I´ve done so in the past.

Regards,

Matthias

Re: leap to future

[Shawn Blc]

I purchased a lifetime license on the kickstarter campaign and donated to
the HTML 5 campaign.  The main reason for donating to both was for HTML 5
and now you're saying that it's a separate license?  What the heck is that
all about?  Cheated!

Re: Getting a return from a dispatch to a function

[Mark Schonewille]

Bill,

Have you tried this using value("getValue()",...) instead of 
value(getValue,...)? I think getValue is interpreted as a string. 
Probably, this isn't a bug but just how xTalk languages are supposed to 
work.

Folks:
I think I’ve found a bug when trying to call a function and get a return value 
out of the message path.

I make a stack with a group containing 2 buttons, and a 3rd button to call the 
function>

Script of calling button
on mouseUp
breakpoint
put value("getValue",group "myGroup" of card "myCard") into tVal
end mouseUp

Script of group named “myGroup”
function getValue
return "This is my value"
end getValue

When I click the calling button, I get “getValue” returned. The actual return 
value of the function is not returned.

I’ve tested this in 7.1.2-r3 and 8.0.0 DP15.
I’m using Mac OSX, El Capitan.

Is it a bug?

Um . . . I wonder if that is as intuitive as your interface developers 
think it is?


All sections are set to visible, and if you take a look at the image I 
uploaded to
the BUG report you will see that there is a large, grey, blank space 
where the widgets should show up.


I notice that in Firefox and Thunderbird they use an odd, 3 horizontal 
lines sort of icon: neither

worse nor better than the revTools cog . . .

Possibly there's a chance for a debate about this right now . . .
