DG2: How much is mobile-only?

It seems the swiping in DG2 is mobile only - is that correct? What other DG2 goodies are currently only usable on a mobile device? The desktop has become very influenced by mobile design trends. Apple's even begun the move to integrate the two. And the desktop is still where businesses bet

Re: Optimizing for small Android devices

If you limit your user base to Android 8.1 almost no one can use it. Right now it has a very tiny user base, I think only Pixel users have that version. It was just pushed to Pixels a little while ago. A whole lot of devices are still waiting for Android 7. On December 27, 2017 8:49:02 PM

iconSVG Library - add icon

Someone mentioned a desire to use custom icons in several of the widgets included with the later versions of LiveCode. Currently they all can only be set to use icons sourced from the iconSVG library. Rather than adjusting all of them to handle arbitrary SVG, I thought it would be easier to

Re: Simulator woes

Thanks, Paul. I did finally get it working, using the old standby—deleting LiveCode preferences and then restarting the simulator. Wish I’d thought to try that combination earlier. Thanks for your suggestions. Devin On Dec 27, 2017, at 3:11 PM, Paul Hibbert via use-livecode

Re: DoMenu not working right?

Ah! I didn't read that far. I don't think menuPick will work, unless the Livecode default menu is actually an IDE menubar. It's not really important now, I just ran into it whilst trying to use the message box to get the properties of the selected object without having to manually pop a menu.

Peter, While I don’t have direct experience with these programs, there are several Open-Source code sets that may be appropriate to your use. They are located at: http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/. The Sphinx software set might be the most useful. Marc Siskin On Dec 27, 2017, at 10:04 AM, Rick

Somewhere along the way I lost the summaries I had attached to the widget and library entries in the Dash docsets. This has now been corrected. “LiveCode v1.4” is now available via the Dash user contributions area. I have also corrected the version number to reflect 1.4. “Make docset” has also

Besides the memory footprint, there could be stress on the CPU when running scripts that aren't tightly optimized. You might see what can be pared down there. Big job, I know, with a project this large. On 12/26/17 11:04 PM, Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode wrote: Our new SivaSiva

Hi all, I’m heading into my annual foray into teaching mobile development, and so testing running stacks in the simulator. For the life of me, I’m unable to get a stack to show up in the simulator, where I’ve had little trouble in the past. Has something changed? When I try to test a stack in

Hi Peter, What you are trying to do is extremely complex. Each person’s voice print is unique to that person. The waveform of one person pronouncing a spoken phrase correctly could be quite different from how someone else’s waveform looks when spoken correctly, due to overtone harmonics, voice

Re: Voice Comparison in LiveCode?

Oh, sorry: I thought you were going to convert the sound files into text files rather than use a voice-to-text application. I wonder how accurate voice-to-text transcription is, and how you can squeeze that into your app for Android tablets. Richmond. On 27/12/17 2:49 pm, Richmond Mathewson

Re: Voice Comparison in LiveCode?

I'd probably do the text comparison. Although, having said that, as a LInguist, I wonder what value that would have as it would ONLY show that the two sound files were different, it would not, for the sake of argument, show HOW the second one differed from the first one phonetically.
