Code Signing Certificates: Where to put?

I went through the process of creating the 2 certs needed to sign, notarize and staple an app bundle. I imported the certs into my Keychain in System (login didn't seem like the place to put it) and now MrSign'n'Notarize Helper V3 is generating an error which seems to indicate it cannot find the

Re: Is there a way to create a generic setprop handler?

If I understand you then no. The only thing I would suggest is to use dispatch to trigger the "general handler" in all of your virtual properties (custom property is not the right phrase when referring to getProp/setProp). Bob S > On Aug 3, 2022, at 11:13 , David Epstein via use-livecode >

Re: Dispatch

One correction. If a value is returned by the handler that was called, the result will be that value. Bob S > On Aug 3, 2022, at 08:53 , Mark Wieder via use-livecode > wrote: > > One, if I'm calling a handler in a different object that is outside the > normal message path then I'll dispatc

Re: Dispatch

Send allows you to send in time. However the command or function must exist or you will throw an error. Dispatch cannot use send in time, but if a handler does not exist in the message path of the object you dispatch to, no error will be thrown. This can come in handy. Let's say you have assig

Re: wait 0 with messages (and the defaultStack)

As my application(s) became more complex, I also ran into topstack and curentcard issues. As a result, I am in the habit now of either using "of me" appended to every command of in a card or stack script, or else sending the long id of an object to a command or function that is not in the messag

Re: wait 0 with messages (and the defaultStack)

It's my understanding that wait allows idle messages from the engine to be sent. When that happens, any send in time messages are processed. Wait with messages allows any other messages including engine messages to be processed. For instance, I have a FindBar object that uses wait 1 second with

sqlYoga queries

Hi. This is directed at Trevor Devore, although if anyone else knows they can chime in. sqlYoga can define table objects and relations in a database object. Heretofore I have not availed myself of this, being content to only work with query objects and record objects. Now as I am trying to opt
