Re: tsNet documentation

Hi Matthias,

Yes, it supports digest authentication.  tsNet will automatically use the most 
secure method the server supports unless you force it to use basic 
authentication.

Standalone compile problem including more than two stack files to the mainstack

[R.H. via use-livecode]

Window 10, LC 8.1.9, Trying to compile a standalone with more than just one
application file to the main file (mainfile = splash screen stack).

I have a problem and working on this for many hours now. I am using a
splash stack as the "main stack" for compilation and I am including the
application stack using the dialogs in the "Stacks" pane of the "Standalone
Application Settings" window.

When I add this one application stack file all is fine. It compiles.

Now I want to add a library stack using the same "Stacks" pane just adding
this other stack to the same subfolder "resources" which also contains the
app file.

Compilation completely fails when adding this library stack (or any other
stack file I tested). During such compile, only the resources folder is
created and one of the included stacks is placed in there. Then the
compilation process quits without error.

I tried everything I could imagine to find out what is going wrong. Maybe
there is some script error in the application file or the splash stack. But
I have no idea as it all works in the IDE and it works in the limited
setting just using this one app file. An also in debugging mode nothing can
be detected. But somehow LiveCode does not like any additional brother or
sister for my application file.

When I do this with completely independent stack files it works though. I
made some test stacks to find out whether is a general problem. But
there... all is ok.

Maybe someone had similar experiences?

How can we check what is going wrong during compilation?

I am at the end of my wisdom. Sigh.

Issues with storage of data in stack

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

I'm working on a session for next week's LCG.  We are all working on
fun super-advanced pushing-the-envelope things in LC, but I wanted to do
something for the beginners who are watching LCG, and handling data seemed
like an obvious choice.

I have to admit, I haven't stored data in a stack in a long time, since the
database options are so easy to use.  If you're currently storing data in a
stack, have you run into any issues on any platform with it, especially on
mobile, for instance, where the rules can be a little weird?

RE: Slide puzzle question

I don't know about the 9 puzzle but I suspect it's like the 15 puzzle. The
15 puzzle and Rubics Cube have parity. If the 15 is out of parity it can
never be solved. The same for Rubics Cube, if you say switch 2 edge pieces
or rotate 1 corner piece it's not solvable.

Re: Slide puzzle question

[Geoff Canyon via use-livecode]

I'm not sure whether there is an answer in terms of pieces in place/out of 
place. I know that there are (I think three) different "position-spaces" where 
each space is unreachable from the others. 

The easy solution is to this problem is to start with the puzzle solved and 
quickly execute thirty or so moves at random, either visibly or with the screen 
locked.

Re: Overwriting a file on a server

[Graham Samuel via use-livecode]

Hi Bob

Yes, that works - since the file is tiny, just trying to download it and seeing 
what you get works  too (not a good strategy in general, I agree). The problem 
was the overwriting of the file - Richard G and other folks have pointed out 
that it would be extremely dangerous in the whole internet world if that were 
easy! I was in retrospect being extremely naive. What it’s done to me is to 
make me reconsider the way my app works, and I’ve chosen another way of dealing 
with my requirement by using local application storage. This just happens to 
work in my particular case.

Cheers

Graham

Just a quick update to let everyone know that I have uploaded a series of 
lessons on tsNet to the LiveCode web site.  You can view them at:

http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/c/235433

I am continuing to upload more lessons as I have time so please let me know if 
there is any particular task that can be done with tsNet that you would like to 
see a lesson on.

There is also now an online tsNet command reference guide for those who want an

 set the label of btn "mybtn" to tLine set the textfont of

 And it works fine, with the exception of fonts with a - in
 the name. All of them are Hershey fonts, so not sure if its
 the font family that is broken, or the dashes causing the
 issue.

 If you have a ttf font file to use, you can probably put it

 "nameofyourfont.ttf"
 and

 set the textfont to "nameofyourfont" and it will likely
