mobileSetKeyboardDisplay

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

First, may I say that mobileSetKeyboardDisplay is a beautiful thing!  This is a 
game-changer in working with data in mobile apps.  My applause!  My hat's off!  
Now, with that said...

It's not working right.  The first time you open a native field with 
mobileSetKeyboardDisplay set to "pan", it works perfect!  The second time 
however, it doesn’t scroll down far enough.  I presume this is related to the 
same issue that we have with the effective working screenRect.   The first time 
you call this, and the soft keyboard is open, you get the correct rect.  The 
second time you request it, you get an incorrect rect.  I have always just 
saved the first pass at it and used that from then on.   But, don't have the 
option with mobileSetKeyboardDisplay.  Can we get this fixed??   Please

-Dan

Re: Rocky islands

[Dar Scott Consulting via use-livecode]

In trying to take a positive view on this...

Voice command and Sidecar might make it easier to step aside in a demo or 
presentation.  

Sidecar might be handy as a sketch input. Maybe. You know, like an alternative 
mouse.

Sidecar might be a handy place to put the Message Box or a debug window.

Screen Time might be handy for those of us who feel we goof off too much. (I 
use Qbserve for time management.)

Color filter options can help those with color vision deficiencies and help 
others see problem colors on a broader context. 

The Notes enhancements look interesting. (I am readying for an electronic lab 
notebook, but Notes might delay that; I'll try it.)

Being able to run some iOS apps on the Mac is cool, but I wish it could run 
all, transparently. It is frustrating to find just the right app and, oh, it is 
iOS only.

Isolating the system from stuff I try is cool. 

Metal!


However, crowd-sourced Bluetooth locating is scary. 

And the first time to run an app can take a while, it seems, but maybe that is 
really a good thing.

Re: Rocky islands

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Sounds like you are inferring a lot more into that PR fluff piece than is 
warranted. I didn't see anywhere in the statement the word, "only". Are you 
saying that Catalina will ONLY do those things listed in the statement, and 
nothing else? That seems extreme to me.

Unicode languages and text selection...

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

In moving a commercial application that allows researchers to perform a 
lot of textual analysis  from LC6.7.11 to LC9.0.x, we have been trying 
to make sure we take advantage of "Unicode Everywhere".


In do in so, we test with text in as many different languages 
(representative of different glyphs/alphabets and sets of Right-To-Left 
(RTL) and LTR languages). We certainly do NOT have staff that know even 
a fraction of the languages. We craft test content using Google 
Translate. In doing this, we have discovered and reported a few long 
standing Unicode related bugs in the current release of LiveCode, some 
going back to LC7.Some examples:


https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22249
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22213
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22202

 I trust that all will eventually get fixed, hopefully sooner rather 
than later. We have now seen another oddity that we can not figure out 
if it is an intentional behavior of certain languages in Unicode or a bug.


 In certain languages in fields, Arabic for example, when we select 
portions of the text in a field, certain glyphs and even words seem to 
change. Not knowing the language, we can't be sure. Has anyone else seen 
this odd behavior in any language (seems to appear more in RTL 
languages) and is it a characteristic of Unicode for some languages or 
some sort of bug?

looking for 3 or 5 testers for my Notarizing stack

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi,

as already posted some days ago i ´ve published a Livecode lesson about 
codesgigning/notarizing app/dmg for distribution outside the Appstore. The 
lesson also included a stack which does the all steps except Notarizating and 
Stapling.

I have now added also Notarizing and Stapling functions to the stack. So with 
it  it is possible to do all necessary steps automatically without any user 
interaction.

Before i update my lesson and add the stack  it would be good if 3 or 4 users 
could test it before. I´ve notarized so far 7 different standalones without a 
problem, but would like to make sure that others can use it also without 
problems. 

If you would like to test the stack, please send me a pm tomatthias (at) 
m-r-d.de .

To test you´ll need to be a member of Apple´s developer program, a valid 
Developer ID Application certificate, an AppleID with 2FA and a app-specific 
password.


Regards,

Matthias

Re: Rocky islands

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

That is obviously the last hurrah of the Macintosh as a computer qua
computer rather than a bijou entertainment and communication device.
Sinking, sinking, sinking.

I'll stick with Mojave as have nothing entertaining to produce: unless you
find typing in dead Indian languages fun; at which point I pity you.

Love, Richmond.
