Re: Loading a LONG list with images
notice the use of send "" in 0 milliseconds... This ensures that the rendering of the grid does not get held up by the download. so the download happens in the background.

Re: Loading a LONG list with images
This is how i did it . I hope this helps. First to use the "numberofrecords" way of setting the datagrid data. This is key, that way you only ever trigger loading of visible rows. This is the code from my dg column. global PixabayResults if PixabayResults["cache"]["DL:" & PixabayResults["data"][the dgindex of me]["previewURL"]] is empty then send "GetImageTrigger " & the dgindex of me & comma & quote & PixabayResults["data"][the dgindex of me]["previewURL"] & quote & comma & random(25500) to card "Search Pixabay" put image id 1410033 of card "Resources" into image 1 of me -- 14110033 image id is the placeholder. set the visible of image 1 of me to true set the MyIndex of me to empty //set the visible of group "Image Tools" of me to false else put PixabayResults["cache"]["DL:" & PixabayResults["data"][the dgindex of me]["previewURL"]] into image 1 of me set the visible of image 1 of me to true set the MyIndex of me to the dgIndex of me delete global PixabayResults["downloaded"][the dgIndex of me] -- delete the flag to update this row because its a visible row with newly downloaded file //set the visible of group "Image Tools" of me to false end if on GetImageTrigger ThisIndex,ThisURL,ThisRandom send "GetAndCachePreviewImage " & ThisIndex & comma & quote & ThisURL & quote & comma & random(25500) to card "Search Pixabay" in 0 milliseconds end GetImageTrigger on GetAndCachePreviewImage ThisIndex,ThisURL,ThisRandomNumber Task_Scheduler_Add "Download File To Variable","DL:" & ThisURL,ThisURL,"" -- this schedules TSNET request to download image then waits for the image to download wait until AppStarterStackTaskScheduler["finished"]["DL:" & ThisURL] is not empty with messages -- wait with messages until its finished if AppStarterStackTaskScheduler["finished"]["DL:" & ThisURL] is "error" then throw "Thumbnail Download Failed:" & ThisURL else put AppStarterStackTaskScheduler["data"]["DL:" & ThisURL]["data"] into PixabayResults["cache"]["DL:" & ThisURL] put 1 into PixabayResults["downloaded"][ThisIndex] delete variable AppStarterStackTaskScheduler["data"]["DL:" & ThisURL]["data"] end if end GetAndCachePreviewImage On Mon, Feb 21, 2022 at 6:20 PM Tom Glod wrote: > Dan can you check this video and the pixabay search example? > https://youtu.be/jN2bQbhQ0L8?t=216 > Is this what you have in mind? > These images are loaded as the row comes into view. > > On Mon, Feb 21, 2022 at 6:07 PM Dan Friedman via use-livecode < > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > >> Richard, >> >> Probably not over a couple thousand.

Indeed much of Apple's early dev-facing communications (circa Mac v1.0-4.0) centered around clarifying their interests and their intentions for keeping the third-party opportunity as wide open as practical. Later on a form of Konfabulator was included as Widgets, a form of Delicious Library was included as iBooks, and the boundaries have been blurred forever since. This is understandable, whether we're looking at a vendor whose platform is an OS or a dev tool, as it's incumbent on them to provide a strong sense of feature-completeness wherever practical. When evaluating third-party opportunities, consider not only the LC world but also JavaScript. Integration between any GUI toolkit and web views is likely only going to increase going forward. As LC Ltd notes in their blog post, the new charts widget wraps chart.js, an open source package under MIT license. Many key ingredients in LC make use of open source code, and given the vast-and-growing range of open source packages for JavaScript we can expect more using that language over time. So next time you're thinking of an add-on for LC, also take a moment to see if such a thing is already available in JavaScript. If it is you just saved yourself the time otherwise needed to write it from scratch. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Message box failure in 10.0.0?
Probably not related, none of my test stacks call out to external files. I relaunched LC 10.0.0 and everthing works again. The only difference is that I closed the App Overview before quitting and then reopened it manually after the new launch. I don't know if that made the difference, or if something just got screwy while running the IDE. The same issue happened in LC 10.0.0dp1 though and I went back to 9.6.6 rather than deal with it. I'll see if the problem recurs over time.

Loading a LONG list with images
Does anyone have any answers to the issue of loading a long list with images so that it loads images "as needed" like a webpage does. I have a DataGrid with several hundred rows. Each row has a specific image that is to be displayed with that row (like a list of songs). The image is loaded from the web. Is there a method to load the DataGrid and only load the images for the rows that are shown? And, when you scroll the grid, the images for the newly shown rows are then loaded. The loading need to happen somehow without halting the scrolling or making it stutter.

So I think there's something else going on in your scripts (or in the environment!) as from what I can see... When `close socket` is performed, the socket is marked as `closing`, and `the openSockets` never includes sockets which are marked as `closing`. The closing flag on a socket is only ever changed in two places - on socket creation/open, when it is set to false, and then on `close socket` where it is set to true. Put another way - if you have done 'close socket i', then it is then it should be logically impossible for i to be in the openSockets immediately afterwards. i.e. Based on my reading of the engine code: get line 1 of the openSockets close socket it put it is among the line of the openSockets Will always put false. Of course, it is possible after closing a socket, and if the event loop has run for a handler to have opened the same socket again (bearing in mind sockets are named for their address and port; unless an explicit tag is provided)...
