Ah thanks, Paul.
I copied already the xpdf from an older LC version to LC 10DP3.
But good to know that it will be back. XPDF allows me to get the imagedata of
the currently rendered page and 'export' that as image.

In older versions of LC you could have custom property keys that had
commas in them, such as a key like "topic,subtopic" for a online help
system. The current (and recent)
Sorry, I left out the punch line.
My original need was simply to extract the text tracks from the old .mov files.
It turns out you can do that, after a fashion, with QT Pro, but it comes out
with lots of binary cruft. I found out you can also do this with ffmpeg, the

You can copy it from the 9.6.5 of earlier to the ccorresponding folder

Hi all,
Thanks for the advice. I wanted to follow up with what I eventually ended up
doing.
So, both Jacque’s and Richmond’s suggestions were good, but too much work for
just peeking at some text tracks. But they got me thinking: Hey, Windows 10
actually still runs QT 7, and I have an old QT
Good to see you here, Devin.
If your app can handle the RAM hit of embedding a browser app instance
with the Browser Widget, and if you can extract the text track info from
QT's proprietary format, HTML supports text tracks nicely via the WebVTT

Hi all.
I just wanted to update an older stack in LC10 that uses the xpdf external, but
it seems that XPDF is not available anymore in LC. Further testing shows that
at least also LC 9.6 and up does not have XPDF included anymore?
Am i am missing something?
I do not remember that XPDF was

Thanks for this. I’ll keep this in mind for the future.
I found that Bob’s simple suggestion of:
put URL VarURL into VarHTMLText

Thanks again!

That might be what I need, but I’ll have to

If variables could manipulate styled text (aka htmlText) then they
wouldn't be any faster than fields ;)

Hi Klaus,
Thanks for getting back to me on this.
That explains the problem.
I wish it worked with variables though
because execution would be faster.
Oh well, at least it will do for now until we have
the LC 10 compiler which will make it all faster!

If I may add something to this, the reason why the syntax did not throw an
error at compile time is because the compiler does not know whether or not
VarHTMLText is a variable that contains the value "field HTMLTextField1" or the
name of any object to be precise. If it did then it would be

I would think it is because the htmlText is a property of a field. It is one of
the properties that it inherited by any field. The variable does not have this
property.

Incredible to see what HH did.
That is way over my head.

At the bottom he describes that it is possible to use SVG to define paths
for the text. How good are you at LCB in being able to manipulate what he
had achieved here?

Hi there,
I posted a curved text example (with use of the browser widget) on the

It works ok but still not satisfied with transparency.
Maybe someone has a better idea on how to do that?
