Re: Livecode / Github

[Brian Milby via use-livecode]

If you want to see what the JSON export looks like for a fairly small
stack, you can view this:
https://github.com/bwmilby/SvgIconTool/blob/main/smartcrumbs/SvgIconTool.livecode.sc/stackFileProperties.json

Unfortunately you will need to download and view it with something that
understands the CR line ending since GitHub doesn't.  That repo has both
ScriptTracker exports and SmartCrumbs exports of the stack.  The former is
designed with two things in mind:  allowing changes in the scripts that are
part of a binary stack to be tracked and allowing the editing of those
scripts in an external editor (I like Atom for the linting, have not tried
the newer option).  The latter looks to be a way to completely decompose a
stack into mostly text files (images being one exception) that can be
tracked (and in theory changes merged together I'm guessing).

Since the JSON file is keyed off of the GUIDs of each object, it really
doesn't lend itself to human inspection.  Assuming line endings are sane
(probably would work for Windows and definitely will work for Linux), Git
should easily be able to track the changes.  Whether someone could easily
discern which object was being touched is another matter (which would be
necessary to merge changes together).

Re: Livecode / Github

[Pi Digital via use-livecode]

It will be good to see, once available, how using the new SmartCrumbs add on 
will help with this. All objects in JSON form and then use stack scripts (and 
htmlText, AudioClip and VideoClip data) in your GitHub repository. This is 
something I really want to start implementing.

Interesting:
Steven/LC also made a cool demo of the polyList for displaying the svg icon
families and icons that are currently in LC. It's called "SVGIconList", and
it uses a total of... 23 lines of code.

I looked at the source that Brian says he used in his repo (

least the first one (Ant) doesn't seem to have any license listed anywhere,
either.

Yep - I find most of my documentation by digging.

The lack of colornames just bit me earlier this week and I had to

Re: BN Guides

Where are the BN guides? I'd be curious to see how this is happening. As I
recall, Navigator is designed to dive through whatever behaviors are set
regardless of how deep the rabbit hole goes to find the actual behavior,
but I haven't looked at that part of the code in years.

Re: Livecode / Github

The same applies to the code in Navigator. I wrote it about five years ago
when I was preparing to transform Navigator itself to use script behaviors.

Always work on a copy.

That said, it worked fine for Navigator, and no one has ever told me it
broke anything.

Re: lcb missing manual

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

It would be good were there full documentation for LCB, and, preferably
with some sort of thematic search so, unlike the LiveCode dictionary one
did not have to flounder around so much working out what to search for.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."

Re: addIcon issue

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

* icon operations are temporary (as soon as you quit LC and relaunch it,
the icons and families you add go away)
* there is no deleteIcon code in the icon api
* the icon api is
in /Contents/Tools/Extensions/com.livecode.library.iconsvg/iconsvg.lcb
