http calls blocked by virus protection?
Hi, I have a user who seems to have a good Internet connection, but my Livecode application can’t connect to a remote server using http. He’s on Windows. Is it possible that some virus protection software blocks such connections? He’s an older user, far away, and I really don’t know what he has installed.

Re: develop a hybrid app
Hi Matt, Apple has made it extremely difficult to do anything which accesses other apps or functions outside of your own app. Everything is “sandboxed” to make sure that your app doesn’t interfere with anyone else’s app or other Apple apps. Apple has made sure that one can’t make a better iTunes app very easily at all. Go ahead and try if you like, you will discover it to be quite difficult. Apple doesn’t want anyone competing with them for such things. So, yes trying to monitor what’s going on with someone’s activities on the iPhone is pretty difficult. Most activity trackers do things like check the time and send a notification that one has not gone for a walk recently. They might also check the accelerometer to see if the iPhone has moved recently, but that app has to be running in the foreground for that to work. Tracker apps can use a lot of power too because they are checking things constantly and that can affect the daily battery time. Good luck!

As Mike wrote the notes are stored in an arrayEncoded array in Application Support -> LCTinyDict -> tinyDictNotes.array They identify a dictionary by a combination of Keyword Type and Library. TinyDict uses the current version of LC Dictionary it is running in. That means regardless of version or license the dictionary is up to date. (all those differences give you slightly different dictionaries) If that version of your dictionary has an entry that matches an entry in tinyDictNotes.array then the note will be shown. No need to rewrite the note. You can take your tinyDictNotes.array file, zip it and import it into your tinyDict running on a different computer or send it off to someone else. tinyDictNotes.array will be merged into your existing notes by appending the imported notes to the existing notes. Notes came into being because they were mentioned a couple of times as a useful feature of a community dictionary. They are primarily intended as a means to keep personal notes, workarounds, reminders, etc. Not more not less.

It's a note, a comment, etc. You can use TD more like a wiki. Good point. What we have with that post and many others like it are effectively Tech Notes, distinct from Dictionary Entries and Tutorials. It's nice that Bernd has the time and interest in maintaining such a collection, but as you noted his Dictionary is separate from the IDE, and as such those Tech Notes are lost to the majority of LC users (except for those using TD and the handful of us who've been obsessively bookmarking such things over the years). It seems that both TD users and everyone else might benefit from a knowledge base of Tech Notes if they were made part of the LC repo, and the LC docs system extended to include them along with the other forms of learning materials. With a central place for a Tech Note repository, Bernd's work would be simplified by merely adding one extension to his system and everything there comes along for the ride. But beyond saving Bernd the extra work, such content would be in a form that could benefit the entire LC audience, no matter which mix of plugins that may be using at any given time. A wiki might be a suitable alternative to a Mardwon-centric repo like Github. MaxV has a wiki, and I've offered before (and my offer still stands) to migrate that content to one of my LiveCode domains like LiveCodeJournal.com using Wikimedia, the package Wikipedia uses, so we can have the flexibility of a proven wiki engine but without the ads that are an understandable by-product of a free hosting service. TL;DR: Less formal Tech Notes are a valuable part of our community's collective knowledge base, and it would be ideal to have a curated collection of them. Once we do, any tools that could benefit from including them could do so easily. The value of the information is proportionate to the size of the audience reading it. The more easily informal Tech Notes can be available to everyone, the more the community as a whole can realize their value. IMO the format and location of the collection is less important than that it exists. A pile of text files in a server directory today would be more valuable than a perfectly-formatted collection that doesn't exist. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ 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: [ANN] tinyDictionary 0_8_1_0
The cool thing about TD is that you don't necessarily have to write anything. For example, Mark's AR note from yesterday can be installed into TD as-is, which is exactly what Bernd did, yesterday. He copied and pasted the email into a text file and sent it to me. A couple of clicks later, and Mark's email was attached to acceleratedRendering. As I found out when I was trying to get some changes submitted for the dictionary, there is a lot more to getting it formatted for a dictionary entry. For a note, not so much. It's a note, a comment, etc. You can use TD more like a wiki.

Re: develop a hybrid app
The short answer is "nope". • If you have a smart watch, you know that the apps run on the watch, not on the phone, so even if you get the phone, the watch still wins. • There is a reason why Nissan is proposing adding Faraday cages to the center console of the Juke ( https://www.google.com/search?q=nissan+faraday+cage&oq=nissan+faraday+cage&aqs=chrome..69i57.3488j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) - because your ability to conrol someone's phone, or see what they are doing when your app is not in the foreground, is extremely limited, especially on ios. • Similarly, "Cinemode" does not work in Cinemark's app on ios ( https://www.google.com/search?q=cinemode&oq=cinemode&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.1737j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) even though it's a great idea. • That has nothing to do with LC, it's an Apple thing. Apple is also very picky about what you can and cannot do when the phone is asleep and when your app is not in the foreground. AFA screen dimming, activity tracking, muting, etc. you can't get there from here on ios. • You also can't hope to keep your app in the foreground, keep it active while the phone sleeps, and keep the app pinging your server from ios to tell the server that the user's phone is not doing anything • You will note that there are plenty of parental control apps for Android that allow parents to kill devices between hours x and y. On ios, there are no such apps.

Even when trying to create very simple explanatory error messages for consumption by "average" users, it is good practice to add the actual error codes - even if in a small font at the bottom of the message.

Re: develop a hybrid app
Is there a concise list of what Livecode can do on mobile devices? Activity tracking - some kind of awerenesses that the user interacted with their phone during focus time. Did they turn the screen on, did they spend time out if the lilspace app, did they send/receive messages. The idea is to trigger a "not really focusing" flag. Stuff like music and photos would be fine, 10 minutes on Facebook wouldn't. Auto-reply - prewritten messages that go out when you're focusing to explain what you're doing and when you'll be done.

I've had the same problem with 9.0dp6, unexpected crashes, sometimes a whole string of them, also not reliably or reproducably or predictably. It may be just coincidence, but when I told the firewall to deny LC it seemed to get a little better. (I'm still getting asked about remote access on every launch.) After extended use something starts failing, always different each time, and if I continue anyway it will eventually crash. Sometimes menu keyboard shortcuts stop working, yesterday the message box refused to respond. Last week just clicking the Messages icon in the toolbar crashed LC five times in a row, today it works fine. If I could reproduce it reliably I'd report it.
