Re: DG outcomes on desktop vs mobile

2020-10-23 Thread J. Landman Gay via use-livecode
Well it's about time. All the rest of us have felt pretty dumb on multiple 
occasions and you were the only outlier.  ;)



But seriously, mobile apps are their own kind of animal. There's a learning 
curve. And each OS has its own idiosyncrasies.

Re: DG outcomes on desktop vs mobile

2020-10-23 Thread Phil Davis via use-livecode

Well, I'm feeling pretty dumb about now. It's the architecture, stupid!

I overlooked the fact that, unlike on desktop systems, my mobile app 
doesn't automagically have access to the test files that reside in the 
app's dev environment on my Mac. During startup on the iPad, the app has 
to populate its [Documents] subfolders with test files stored in the app 
bundle.


It's my first mobile app. At least there's that. And I can pretty much 
guarantee I'll never again overlook the need to do this!


So that part of the app is working now. Thanks for the great ideas, 
which will be useful when I stumble again -

I'm building an iPad app that reads a bunch of files into an array and
then sets the dgData of a form DG to that array. The array is
well-formed for DG use. After setting the dgData of the DG, the result
is empty. Only one problem: the DG now contains no data. (I also tried
setting the dgText of the DG to a flat version of the same data and got
the same outcome.)

I can then create another array from custom property data and set the
dgData of the same form DG to that array and it works.

On the desktop, however, the same DG loading process never fails.

The data being loaded is all text - nothing esoteric.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can find & fix the problem(s)? Or have
you run into this before?

Re: POST to https in LC5.0.2 - Error socket closed

2020-10-23 Thread matthias rebbe via use-livecode
Sean,
i just reactivated on an VM an old  "LC 5.0.2 Complete" license which was 
similar to the Enterprise license in earlier versions of LC on a Windows 

I tried to post to a https:// url in 5.0.2 and  i got an SSL error. It seems 
that 5.0.2 does only support the old TLS V1 and newer web servers do not 
support that anymore.
So i am not sure, if LC 5.0.2 is of any use.
Just wanted to let you know.

Regards,
Matthias

Re: DG outcomes on desktop vs mobile

All the files are in a 'Students' subfolder of the app's Documents 
folder, and the path reflects that. However, your question is making me 
go through the handling of data with a fine-tooth comb, so that may 
result in something.

Re: DG outcomes on desktop vs mobile

2020-10-23 Thread Dan Friedman via use-livecode
Phil,

One thing I have noticed is if you have a put command with no destination, 
mobile devices DO NOT LIKE THIS!!   It will halt script execution completely as 
if it were an error.   For example:

put myVar

This would normally put the contents of myVar into the message box.  But on a 
real phone, it's a disaster!   Maybe you have one of these put's somewhere that 
is halting executing and causing the DG not to be filled.   Just a thought.

-Dan

even bother to troubleshoot the 2nd time it happened, just immediately made a 
new DG and moved on.

Not a definitive answer to your question but an acknowledgement of your problem.

—Andrew Bell


I'm building an iPad app that reads a bunch of files into an array and
then sets the dgData of a form DG to that array. The array is
well-formed for DG use. After setting the dgData of the DG, the result
is empty. Only one problem: the DG now contains no data. (I also tried
setting the dgText of the DG to a flat version of the same data and got
the same outcome.)

I can then create another array from custom property data and set the
dgData of the same form DG to that array and it works.

On the desktop, however, the same DG loading process never fails.

The data being loaded is all text - nothing esoteric.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can find & fix the problem(s)? Or have
you run into this before?

Thank you -
Phil Davis

Re: Script Editor freezes in Windows 10 (was Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10)

2020-10-23 Thread Martin Koob via use-livecode
Hi everyone.

Thanks for all the suggestions.  I tried them all but no joy.

I figured out what caused it.   I am using Monte’s lcVCS plugin to keep the 
project  in bitbucket and I was trying to work on it on the Mac and Windows by 
making changes on the Mac and then updating the stacks by exporting to lcVCS, 
committing and pushing the changes to bitBucket and then on the Windows Machine 
fetching the changes and pulling them to the repo on my Windows machine and 
then use lcVCS to create stacks from files.   I recently finished a branch and 
was merging it back into my version  branch on the Mac.   When I tried to fetch 
the changes on Windows there were lots of conflicts.   I don’t really 
understand git process really well for merging etc so I kind of hacked away at 
it till I got the two repos back in sync with the origin so in the process I 
must have ended up corrupting some of the scripts in the stack so they would 
not load. The stack would open and run properly which was odd…

So to fix it just zipped up the version on my Mac, Copied it over to the PC and 
opened it there and it worked.   So now I am back in business.

Thanks for for your time in responding.  Your responses got me to look at the 
problem from a few different angles till I could see the light through the 
cracks.

Martin.

RE: IDE Hang When Exiting. (was Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10)

2020-10-23 Thread Ralph DiMola via use-livecode
It was a hardcoded breakpoint in this form.

If x<0 then breakpoint

I wonder if inadvertently triggered "red dot" breakpoints when exiting can 
cause the same hang?

Subject: Re: IDE Hang When Exiting. (was Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group 
in Windows 10)

Hi Ralph

I generally experience IDE hang when exiting in all versions of LC 9.x i have 
used so far (using a Mac however). I haven’t had time to delve into figuring 
out a recipe I could report as a bug. I just force quit and relaunched 
LiveCode.  That is just part of my work flow now.  Sometimes it does quit with 
no hang.  Some things I have tried is closing the script editor, or close and 
remove from memory before quitting.  I still don’t get consistent results from 
this though.

It happens with various stacks I work on from simple to complex.  I thought it 
may be an extension I have installed that ties up the IDE during the quitting 
process.  I plan one day to remove all extensions to a bare minimum and see if 
it still happens.

Interesting idea about the breakpoint.  Is it a ‘red dot’ soft breakpoint or 
hard coded ‘breakpoint’ in a line of the script?

The behaviour of the soft breakpoints I have found inconsistent.   Sometimes 
they don’t trigger unless I have the script open for at least the first 
breakpoint I want to trigger. Again I have never really tried to get to the 
cause, just did workarounds.

I probably have way to many breakpoints left sitting around.  Maybe I should 
just delete all breakpoints and start fresh.

Thanks for the idea.  Maybe that will solve the other problem I am having with 
the DataGrid.

Re: DG outcomes on desktop vs mobile

2020-10-23 Thread Andrew at MidWest Coast Media via use-livecode
This happened to me, twice, in a project I just launched. I was in crunch so 
didn’t have time to properly document but something happened where the DG 
wasn’t loading. I could take the same dgData or dgText and load it to another 
DG fine. Being on mobile made this harder to debug because even with Remote 
Debugger I would still have to compile and launch to the simulator each time I 
tried a tweak.

Because I was up against a deadline and since I wasted several hours trying to 
troubleshoot I just replaced the DG with a brand new: everything worked. Didn’t 
even bother to troubleshoot the 2nd time it happened, just immediately made a 
new DG and moved on.

i am not sure if the freezes are also caused by this, but what Antivirus 
Software are you using. A 3rd party or Microsoft Defender?
If the latter then please try to exclude the Livecode program folder  and its

There were some reports from users that Microsoft Defender slowed down

Checking the interaction between earbud clicks (trying two different types of

So seems like the browser widget is the only way to go. Will test on mobile. 
Anyone have an idea how events are sent to apps from earbuds?

An interesting experiment this morning with earbuds - if I play an mp3 or a

pressing / clicking the earbuds has no effect on the playback. Using the

The issue is that I want to know the “currenttime” when the video is paused -

That’s fine :) It’s kind of related to the general subject of community
contribution. My understanding is that the general approach to that has not
helped produce an organised collection of material - whether this is the
documentation, or the library of Livecode components. There is the usual
tension between centralised quality control and wiki like easy open
community contribution.

I agree with Sean that we can all contribute to this, but a little
improvement in the architecture that supports such collaboration would also
help I believe. It is harder than I think necessary to find stacks and code
related to for instance podcasts and RSS feeds. I’m pretty sure that this
has been worked on multiple times over the last 10 years, but the
combination of forum, email, and resource library does not do justice to
what we could achieve.

Maybe I’m wrong - and no one has produced a podcast player in Livecode? My
understanding is that an easy to contribute set of tools that made it
easier to share stacks and code would help here. As I see it the attempts
that have been made historically have been somewhat too “closed” for there
to the right sort of community contribution.

I can mainly speak for my personal experience, but if I produce this
podcast player, and various libraries for it - then historically I haven't
really see a good way to share that. When I come across errors or
improvements I want to make to the dictionary I don’t really see how, or
have quite enough faith that my contributions will valued - so I make a
note to “do that later” and well - don’t.

There is a form of federated architecture for user contributions that
looks promising that can help. Essentially the trick is to combine both
that ability of people to make their own personal notes / changes and
contributions by forking existing material, while also making it very easy
to combine these contributions into an editorial synopsis. That way each
Livecode author wold have a tool for their own personal productivity use,
and the overall community gets the value of the shared content production.
Right now the balance between my personal space and the sharing is in an
unhealthy state of mediation.

Re: Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10

I put code in the dg script. It works fine. But to be clear, I only have 8 
lines in my script so I’ve never tested the limits.

Re: Script Editor freezes in Windows 10 (was Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10)

2020-10-23 Thread Bernard Devlin via use-livecode
Hi Martin

In the Script Editor try unchecking the various entries under Edit/Options
e.g. variable checking, live errors, etc.

I've recently moved to using LC on OS X and was surprised how snappy the
editor was i.e. I didn't need to switch off most of those things as I did
on Windows 10.

I don't have any advice about Proj Browser, as I almost never used it.

Is there any way I can get Lc5.0.2 unlocked to Enterprise level just so I can

Livecode Podcast Player - earbud click?

2020-10-23 Thread David Bovill via use-livecode
Yes. I have some old code - seems to still work fetching and parsing RSS 
steams. I’m looking into the best way. To make the player now - browser or 
player widget?

An interesting experiment this morning with earbuds - if I play an mp3 or a 
video in the player object and listen to the sound through the earbuds - 
pressing / clicking the earbuds has no effect on the playback. Using the 
machinery of the browser widget pauses and restarts the playback reliably. I 
want. This feature so I may well choose the browser widget unless I can figure 
out a message that is sent to the. Stack that I can trap?

The issue is that I want to know the “currenttime” when the video is paused - 
this and other features would be easier using the player control. I guess I can 
use javascript if needed?

I think that is right yes. I’m trying to put into words why many people don’t 
do that, or help fix the documentation. I feel that the reasons people don’t do 
that is understandable and somewhat fixable.

Re: POST to https in LC5.0.2 - Error socket closed

2020-10-23 Thread Pi Digital via use-livecode
Yes. But have you seen how it has to get turned on. I have trouble enough with 
IT departments not wanting to install our software let alone ask them to go 
through the hassle of setting curl up on all of their clients desktops. This 
whole ssl https mySQL security thing came about because an IT Tech did a snoop 
on our app calling to the sql database. 

With those kind of security fears do you think it is likely that they will turn 
on curl? Not a chance!

 This is why I’m trying to get HTML5 deployment working. But there’s not a 
chance of LC doing anything about that. Especially now Covid has brought them 
to their knees. If they can’t get anything beyond the backspace key working and 
end up wrecking everything else about it in the process so that LC9.6.2 is 
unusable by me, then I don’t hold out much hope. 

Back on subject, curl would have to be done through shell requests which adds 
in a whole other bunch of issues. I really need a solution to get either the 
revdb security working or basic https messages.

I thought one could also create Widgets and submit them to/publish on the 
Widget store instead of submitting them to be included in the Livecode Release.
The documentation for the dictionary is in the widget itself. So if the widget 
contains a documentation file the LC dictionary lists that information as soon 
as the widget is installed. So if you publish to the widget store, then you 
should be able to publish your corrections and improvements immediately. Or am 
i wrong?

Re: Livecode Podcast Player

2020-10-23 Thread JeeJeeStudio via use-livecode
So in fact it needs to retrieve a list of podcast streams, user can pick a
stream, and then it has to play like an mp3 player. Can be done with either
the browser or audio player right?

I guess not - could not find anything in the forums or email thread.

That’s fine :) It’s kind of related to the general subject of community 
contribution. My understanding is that the general approach to that has not 
helped produce an organised collection of material - whether this is the 
documentation, or the library of Livecode components. There is the usual 
tension between centralised quality control and wiki like easy open community 
contribution.

I agree with Sean that we can all contribute to this, but a little improvement 
in the architecture that supports such collaboration would also help I believe. 
It is harder than I think necessary to find stacks and code related to for 
instance podcasts and RSS feeds. I’m pretty sure that this has been worked on 
multiple times over the last 10 years, but the combination of forum, email, and 
resource library does not do justice to what we could achieve.

Maybe I’m wrong - and no one has produced a podcast player in Livecode? My 
understanding is that an easy to contribute set of tools that made it easier to 
share stacks and code would help here. As I see it the attempts that have been 
made historically have been somewhat too “closed” for there to the right sort 
of community contribution.

I can mainly speak for my personal experience, but if I produce this podcast 
player, and various libraries for it - then historically I haven't really see a 
good way to share that. When I come across errors or improvements I want to 
make to the dictionary I don’t really see how, or have quite enough faith that 
my contributions will valued - so I make a note to “do that later” and well - 
don’t.

There is a form of federated architecture for user contributions that looks 
promising that can help. Essentially the trick is to combine both that ability 
of people to make their own personal notes / changes and contributions by 
forking existing material, while also making it very easy to combine these 
contributions into an editorial synopsis. That way each Livecode author wold 
have a tool for their own personal productivity use, and the overall community 
gets the value of the shared content production. Right now the balance between 
my personal space and the sharing is in an unhealthy state of mediation.

Re: POST to https in LC5.0.2 - Error socket closed

2020-10-23 Thread Pi Digital via use-livecode
It’s not listed in LC5.0.2 dictionary so I arseumed it wasn’t implemented in 
that version. 

But I tried it. It made no difference at all. Either set to true or false. Even 
the call to put url https://google.com came back with error socket closed. 

Http works. Https does not. It is locked out to all except Enterprise license 
holders for LC5.x

Re: DG outcomes on desktop vs mobile

What do you see when you answer the data you set the dgdata to? Does it
show the values?
