Re: Text encoding: summary of results and times.

This makes sense to me (I think) because if I am not mistaken, UTF16 is Unicode, and UTF8 is simple ASCII. The slowdown from 6.7 to 7.0 was precicely the support for Unicode text. Someone will correct me if I am wrong about this. As a hobbyist, I try and stay away from localization issues. But I

Re: IDE performance (Re: Suggestion: Non-Appbuilding Community Edition)

It's worse than the unicode text issue. Saving stacks is from my setup 7 to 8 times slower in Windows than on a Mac, and I have tried numerous Windows configurations from bare metal to VMWare servers running on a robust host. In discussions in the past, it seems there isn't a lot Livecode can do

Re: Sorting text is *VERY* slow in LC9 on Windows (Re: Accumulating text is *VERY* slow in LC9 on Windows)

I am going to say no, because you still have to traverse the file once to get it into sqLite, then do the sort, then write out the file when done. I might be mistaken, the subsequent SQL sort may make up for lost time. Using a memory SQL really shines when you need to make multiple passes at the

It’s, “So long, and thanks for all the fish!” And unless you can do a double 360 back flip while passing through a smallish ring suspended above the pool, I remain unimpressed. Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 1, 2021, at 17:53, Neville Smythe via use-livecode > wrote: > >  >> On 1 Sep 2021, a

Re: Licensing model change

I honestly never quite saw how offering a free version alongside commercial versions was going to fly. People need to eat, and if you give something away for free, people will simply not pay for it. I did the free version for a couple years, mainly because what I create helps almost exclusivel

What happens if you open the object inspector, then select an object on a card? It *should* change to the properties of the selected object. Bob S > On Aug 25, 2021, at 06:24 , Craig Newman via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi. > > I have never seen this on my Mac. How do you open the inspecto

Re: oAuth2 window properties

I do a similar thing for nested behavoirs for Datagrids. Just be aware that when you upgrade Livecode, these changes go away. What I do is I keep copies of the behaviors (or libraries if you please). When I get a new version of LC, I FIRST launch the app, license it then quit. This clears any OS

I have seen this sort of thing before. Try setting the dgData to empty, and also the dgText. Further, make sure that the column names of the datagrid match the keys of each record in the array. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 11, 2021, at 12:52, Mark Smith via use-livecode > wrote: > > Skip,

Re: Good math/code lesson from HMS Queen Elizabeth

Curious, what kind of neurotoxin? We get stingrays on our beaches during warm days and calm surf. They come in close to shore to rest and to hide from predators. If you get hit by their stinger, they have a toxin which is an enzyme catalyst, which will keep eating away at your flesh. There is no
