This versions works really well with Animated SVG.
Check a step by step recipe to play them in
my answer to Klaus message:

Klaus  Major wrote about running animated svg:

Macs always store a surprise or two! :D
Check if this step by step recipe works
in a Mac:

1) Download most recent version of Jonathan Lynch's stack:
http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/830/SVG-Powered-Images

2) Download this animated svg:
https://openclipart.org/detail/230261/gearanimation02-remix

This mechanical gears animation is better for detecting
any "jump" in the animation conversion.

3) Import mechanical gears animated svg
into Jonathan's stack

4) edit the script of gears bitmap image and
add this script after "resizecontrol" handler

 on mousedown
  put the id of me into tID
repeat while the mouse is down
   send "processSVG tID" to widget "SVGBrowser1"
end repeat
 end mousedown

5) Click and hold down the mouse button over
one gear and see them move.

Tell us if this works fine on a Mac (or other OS that
you use on a PC or within a Virtual Machine)

Converting a video at 30 frames per seconds
in PNG images? This is amazing! :D

After you publish this stack, we will find many uses
for this feature.

Hermann, your resourceful and detailed stacks
are a rich source of inspiration for many of us:

Yes. It's odd that a browser would reformat it that way.

I see that the middle section is omitted with my regex, so I forgot to 
make it non-greedy. But I've forgotten how to do that, something about a 
question mark, I think?

Scary.  Looks like the specialFolderPath function is returning empty 
with the "temporary" constant on your system?


LC and OS versions?

Just for diagnostics, what does this do there?:

Heh heh. The level is not an indication of how primitive the language is. It's 
an indication of how abstracted from the machine language it is. Scripting is 
considered to be high level not because it is advances, but because it is most 
like human language and least like machine language.

your method also avoids the issue of launching a completely automatic
update without giving the user an opportunity to refuse. So you just
get the user to run the installer, the same way as Tiemo does - is
that right?


It would be if I still used installers. My long-term client said she'd 
never use one again, it caused more problems than it solved. So we use a 
plain .zip file now for Windows and a .dmg for Mac. That isn't without 
issues as well, mostly for Windows users, who don't always understand 
that Windows inexplicably opens the zip file with the contents 
displayed, but it isn't really unzipped. When they try to double-click 
the .exe file, it fails and usually results in a support call. The 
instructions clearly state that they need to move the enclosed folder to 
the desktop, but users don't read, especially if it is in giant red text 
with underscores and stars and italics and repeated several times. 
(Okay, I exaggerate.)


But for the most part she tells me that support is less with this method 
than it was for the installer they used to use. It probably depends on 
what installer you have. I took over the project post-installer so I 
don't have any experience with their previous product.

What path do you get with the specialFolderPath function?, e.g.:

  put specialFolderPath("temporary") &"/livecode_qpSKBPng" \
 into tPath

Friday Night Drag Act

Re: sysError List?

Hi Richard,

Sorry it has been a couple days before I could
get back to this task.

Ok, so my file uploaded to:  /tmp/livecode_qpSKBPng

I thought that perhaps tmp was a hidden folder
so I looked on my Mac after first unhiding all files.
I’m still not seeing it.  Where is this located?

Then I’m getting an error 20 when I try to 
rename (move) the file to the proper folder
where I want it to go.  I don’t know what
error 20 is.  Does it mean it is a permissions
problem?  The file wasn’t found?  I don’t know.

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks,

Rick

Re: Android Setup Config

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hi Dan,


I have download the “tools_r24.4.1-macosx.zip” and unzipped it into a
folder android-sdk. Then launched tools/android and installed “Android
4.0.3 (API 15)”.


Now when I launch tools/android I see at the top:

(These are the installed versions)


Android SDK Tools: 24.4.1

Android SDK Platform-tools: 25.0.5

Android SDK Build-tools: 25.0.3


Moreover, my android-sdk folder contains those folders:


add-ons

build-tools

platform-tools

platforms

sources

system-images

temp

tools


And the “platforms” folder contains a folder “android-15”


I can successfully set the “Location of Android development SDK root” in
the LC Prefs, and also to create an android standalone.


Hope this helps,

Panos

Re: Android Setup Config

Hmm your /MacintoshHD/android-sdk/ directory should also include a folder
"build-tools". Since it is not present, you can install it using the SDK
Manager:

Launch tools/android
Find an item "Android SDK Build-tools" (should be at the top)
Tick the checkbox and select "Install packages"

After that the problem should be fixed :)

My guess is, a scripter writes in a high level language like Applescript or 
Livecode script. A programmer writes in a mid level language like C++ or 
Pascal. A coder writes in a low level language like assembly.

Re: Android Setup Config

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Panos,

Thanks again for the help, but I think I must be stupid.  I selected “Desktop” 
and still got “invalid Android SDK”.   So, I deleted everything, redownloaded 
“tools_r24.4.1-macosx.zip” and put it in it’s own folder at:  
/MacintoshHD/android-sdk/.  I then unzipped it and launched 
/MacintoshHD/android-sdk/tools/android.   I selected “Android 4.0.3 (API 15)” 
and clicked “Install Packages”.   When the install was complete, I went back to 
LC 8.1.3 and in Preferences I selected /MacintoshHD/android-sdk/ as the 
“Location of Android development SDK root”.  Once again, “invalid Android SDK”.

The /MacintoshHD/android-sdk/ directory contains these items:
add-ons
platform-tools
platforms
sources
system-images
temp
tools
tools_r24.4.1-macosx.zip


Any other thoughts or advise?  Maybe I’m destined to only make iPhone apps?

Re: Android Setup Config

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hi Dan,

You have to select the parent folder that contains the "tools" folder as
the “Location of Android development SDK root”, so in that case you have to
select "Desktop".

Or even better, move the "tools" folder (and every other folder that was
installed to your Desktop after installing the Android 4.0.3) into a new
folder called "android-sdk", and select "android-sdk" as the “Location of
Android development SDK root".

This folder should contain at least the following folders:
- tools
- platform-tools
- platforms

Hope this helps,
Panos

Panos,

Thank you for the assistance!  But, didn’t work for me.   Here’s what I did:

(1) Downloaded “tools_r24.4.1-macosx.zip” and unzipped it.  Now I have a 
“tools” folder on my desktop.
(2) I double-clicked /desktop/tools/android.  The “Android SDK Manager” opened.
(3) I selected “Android 4.0.3 (API 15)” and clicked “Install Packages”.
(4) After the install was complete, I went back to LC 8.1.3 and in Preferences 
I selected the /desktop/tools/ as the “Location of Android development SDK 
root”.  Nada – invalid Android SDK.

What did I do wrong?

Re: Android Setup Config

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hi Dan,

1. Download version 24.4.1 and unzip it.
2. This only includes a "tools" folder, which has the 24.4.1 tools.
3. You have to launch the SDK Manager and install also the "Android 4.0.3
(API 15)". To launch the SDK manager just double click on "tools/android".
4. After that, you should be able to select the path to the sdks tools in
the LC Prefs, and build an android standalone successfully.

We are going to add support for the latest version of Android Studio in
LiveCode 8.1.5 RC1. This will hopefully make things easier.

Best regards,
Panos

Re: Wouldn't it be nice to have a "back/forward" button in script editor?

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

Might this be a reason to think about working tighter integration between
LC and some other text editor?  Then the TE can do what TE's do best, and
LC can worry less about adding TE features.  OR, what about taking one of
the OSS TE's and working on integrating them into LC, eventually removing
the SE as a separate codebase?

Android Setup Config

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Does anyone know the proper configuration for building an Android standalone on 
a Mac?  When I build the app, I get this:

“There was an error while saving the standalone application could not encode 
class bundle”

I followed the directions from this page (updated just a week ago):
  
http://lessons.livecode.com/m/2571/l/27389-how-do-i-become-an-android-developer-on-a-mac
 

But, I still get the same error.  The instructions say to get and install the 
latest versions of both Android SDK and Java SDK.  The instructions then go on 
to say that you can’t use the latest version of the Android SDK Tools, you have 
to use version 24.4.1.  This version is not available in Android Studio nor is 
it posted (that I could find) on the android website.  I did eventually find 
and download it.  But, what do you do with it?  After unzipping in, you have a 
new “Tools” folder.  I replaced the existing Tools folder at 
/Users/myComputer/Library/Android/sdk/ and restarted. But, that didn’t seem to 
solve anything.  Now LiveCode no longer recognizes the “android-sdk-mac_x86” 
folder as a valid Android SDK.  UG!  This will be day 3 trying to get an 
Android App Built!

AW: Update strategy?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode]

I have codesigned my installers for Mac and Win, so that there are no 
additional security alerts and user request. If the installer is launched as an 
Admin (what I can require for with my innosetup installer for Win, on Mac I 
can't require, but most Mac users have admin rights), it replaces everything 
existing (except of my registration file at another location)  without 
additional requests.

Betreff: Re: Update strategy?

Thanks again Jacque

Yes, I see the wisdom of that - your method also avoids the issue of launching 
a completely automatic update without giving the user an opportunity to refuse. 
So you just get the user to run the installer, the same way as Tiemo does - is 
that right? 

Obviously one wants the update to be as user-friendly as possible. Can the 
installer (on Mac and Windows) simply clear out the old version without asking 
for permission? This is desirable from an ease-of-use standpoint. Presumably 
also if registration has already taken place, the record of that will still be 
stored in the local prefs file or wherever, so the user won’t have to re-insert 
the registration key.

Still trying to get it exactly right.

Re: SVG powered images

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

Hey guys - I figured out a solution for that bug I had previously written a 
hack for. I use the image.onload handler in the JavaScript for this. It works 
consistently now. I just had to get my order of events correct in the 
JavaScript.

So please check out the new version.

Dictionary entry for 'answer' - something missing?

[Graham Samuel via use-livecode]

Maybe I don’t understand how to access the LC Dictionary in 8.1.4 rc 1, but 
when I look up ‘answer’ I miss the plain vanilla version, as in 

  answer question “Do you agree?” with “Yes” or “No” titled “Make a Decision!”

This does work from the message box.

Can anyone find this definition? If not, it’s a bug, I think.

TIA

Graham

Hi

Congratulations and Eudemonia to you all Ali.

Now let's see if I can use Computer metaphors,puns and word play  with the
rest of them ...

Now the real "Programming" starts with a Finite State Ali-Gata which is a
child  Object Instantiation of the Parent Class. Set the garbage collector
to automatic because there will be a lot of mutable objects in the FIFO.



But more to the point have you bought him a Raspberry Pi yet and will this
mean version nine will be compiled for the Pi soon?

Congrats again Ali Children - and Grand Children are what makes life living
(and interesting!!).

It works. I have it running here with the browser widget. I finally
got it using an "onload" for the image and for the window.

...
image1.onload = function() {
   ctx.drawImage(image1,0,0,twidth,theight);
}
...
window.onload=processsvg(twidth,theight,tID);

After that sending toDataURL() to the canvas delayed by 1 tick has here
no misfunction.

I wrote it also for a revBrowserInstance what can be used in LC 6/7/8/9 
but on Mac only, because linux has no revBroser working and windows only
one that doesn't support Canvas2d. This is essentially the same technique
(but doesn't use a javascriptHandler).

I put this LC 6/7/8/9 version on livecodeshare/"sample stacks" so that
your browser widget version is still unique ...

I have also a fast method, runs with 30 fps, for taking PNG-frames from a
video, so that converting an SVG animation to PNGs is no problem (though
I can't see any sense in doing that).

Is there any chance the hospital uses gitbub; maybe you can push your
current repo of baby and pull it once it hit's the 10lb milestone ;-)

Ali, congrats to you and your wife.
