Hi Ron, About ‘it’ — is that supposed to be the name of the new field or something else? You can always use “last” to refer to a new control, “the last field” is “any object whose number property is equal to the number of objects of that type." ‘It’ might have been changed to something else in

Encrypting Stack Breaks Field References

My program (built with LC 9.6.1 Indy Windows) contains a large number of references to fields by variables. For example, instead of refering to [fld "abc"] I refer to [fld tName] where tName is a variable containing "abc" (no quotes). This has worked perfectly until I *encrypted* the stack

Hi Sean, I've been using LiveCode on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 for years (Servers and Desktops) and it worked fine.  A years ago we migrated everything to CentOS / RedHat and Fedora (development machines and servers).  However, we are going to migrate everything  to Debian. Debian is very stable

I personally use Neon, it's based upon Ubuntu and is the development base platform for KDE. I find that it is better integrated between the tools as they are specializing upon one desktop and ensuring everything is properly supported. I have used livecode on it over the past year without issue.

Hi all, I just heard the news that RedHat is going to be dropping support for CentOS. With my recent issues with PDF Printing in CentOS, I was already looking to perhaps try out CentOS8 or another Dist. but now we have this news I'm thinking of going to Ubuntu. The release notes for LC says it

Sad indeed. :-( HH's LCB snippets and examples were helpful and inspirational, and in some ways I actually enjoyed reading some of those cantankerous exchanges on bug reports. I wish he'd posted all of his LCB code as some of his more interesting to me LCB work he didn't release the source for. I
