Didn't get a moment to check until now. I had to count in my head, but 
it's about 4-5 seconds in Firefox. Maybe 8-10 seconds in Chrome.


13 minutes in Chrome on my Pixel.

Re: Symantec quarantining LiveCode standalone on client's machine

[JJS via use-livecode]

I did Software service for a few years as part of my previous job, also 
on-site.


And there are many more programs who have these issues with AV programs.

And sometimes it is needed to stop using Norton or AVG or whatever just 
to get the program running they need to work with.

We had the same problem with our Norton installs having issues with our
LC-built apps, even when installing an update to the same app.  We never
were able to fix it, even with code signing.  We still had to go into
Norton, find the quarrantine, and whitelist the app.
Switching AV was our solution, but I get that you can't tell your customers
to do that.

For myself, I do what I can to say on top of threat assessment, and
choose my vendors with care.

When I'm giving root access to my systems, many of which are entry
points to public-facing systems for clients, I avoid even potential
risks where I have the opportunity to do so.

Re: Rename object

Virtual Kisses!

That rocks so completely I am almost in love with you . . .

 . . . almost because:

1. I believe in marital vows, and, unfashionably, love my wife after 28 
years of marriage.


2. Am 98% heterosexual (anyone who says they are 100% is being 
disingenuous).

"it" is, quite frankly, both a bore and something that makes 9-11 year

Paiget were not dead, but were on hand to explain things (and as the

Klaus,

you are right! The dictionary entry is wrong.

It would not make logical sense to be able to set the short name of
something just as it is not logical to set the long or abbreviated name of
it. Hence why we have ONLY set the name of it. The 'short' keyword would be
superfluous.

But the dictionary should have the examples the other way round.

Of course I did not mean to replace:

Simply because this (being able to set the SHORT name of an object) is not 
allowed until now, 
but would make a lot of sense!

No it is not consistent, but some of the syntax was baked into Metacard

I tried:
set the long name of btn 1 to "hello sailor!"
set the abbreviated name of btn 1 to "hello sailor!"
set the short name of btn 1 to "hello sailor!"

And got "Compilation error: can't set this property..." in all three cases.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Re: Do variable vs field as AppleScript

[David V Glasgow via use-livecode]

Thanks, Bob, that’s what I suspected.

From the UI point of view, its just feels a bit clunky - combined with being 
uncertain about whether the speechrecognitionserver is still working or whether 
recognition has failed, and whether the human  needs to repeat the phrase or 
not.

Maybe I am conflating two issues, but I wondered whether I could get it all to 
be a bit more brisk.

Cheers,

David G

name vs short name

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi friends,

this is on my mind for a very long time.

put the name of img 1 -> image "xyz"
put the short name of img 1 -> xyz

However:
set the short name of img 1 to "xyz2" -> compilation error, see below...

We have to:
set the name of img 1 to "xyz2"

This does not seem logical at all to me!?

Can someone please explain in a comprehensible (sic!) way why this is so? :-)

BTW: 
Looks like the dictionary is wrong here (or am I missing something obvious?)
Entry about name:
...

?

I tried:
set the long name of btn 1 to "hello sailor!"
set the abbreviated name of btn 1 to "hello sailor!"
set the short name of btn 1 to "hello sailor!"

Re: Rename object

[Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode]

local tList
repeat with rImgNum = 1 to the number of images [in card "x"]
if the short name of img rImgNum is among the lines of tList then
set the name of img rImgNum to the name of tImg rImgNum & "x"
end if
put the short name of img rImgNum into line rImgNum of tList
end repeat
-- Done!
